Welcoming the Summer Solstice with a Provençal Rosé
Today, 21 June, is the longest day of the year for those of us living in the Northern Hemisphere.

NYT Forced to Issue Major Correction on Fake News
From Larry O’Connor in The Washington Times: “Last week the New York Times published the latest charge against Pruitt.

When Degrees and Credentials Replace Wisdom and Knowledge
What does globalization mean? What we call globalization, writes Victor Davis Hanson, is what our forefathers called monopolies. “Jeans, t-shirts, and cool did not mean that the lifestyles and mindsets of a Mark Zuckerberg or Jeff Bezos were any different from their kindred spirits of the past—J.

The Media on Trump–a Perfect Blend of Hubris with Hysteria
Once upon a time, the media was seen as the bedrock of American democracy.

Dispirited Democrats–Rooting Against America’s Success?
With the announcement of positive economic news last week, it is a bit unsettling to hear HBO host Bill Maher’s take on how he hopes things go down. I feel like the bottom has to fall out at some point, and by the way, I’m hoping for it. I think one way you get rid of […]
Trumponomics: Getting Our Economy Back on Track
In a new book by former Obama adviser Ben Rhodes, Mr. Rhodes quotes President Obama after President Trump’s victory: “I’ve got the economy set up well for him.” After last Friday’s blockbuster jobs reports, Obama’s self-congratulatory line was repeated countless times in the media, Stephen Moore and Arthur Laffer note in the WSJ.
