Guess what? Despite environmentalists’ outrage, Americans can once again purchase bottled water within our national parks. Yes, it’s the end of an Obama-era policy seeking to reduce plastic waste. Which is a good thing, you are likely thinking. But read below what actually happened after America’s Park Service spent millions of dollars on water fountains […]
Trump Brings Out the Worst in His Opponents
Does the spectacle of mobs targeting public statues they don’t like and suppressing the speech of those with whom they disagree advance the Democratic cause? Are Democrats so unhinged they can’t think straight? Do Americans know what the Democrats stand for–other than that they loath Donald Trump? Even Bernie Sanders knows that the Democrats won’t […]
Corporate America Needs to Fight Hate, Not Help It Flourish
After what many view as President Trump’s incompetent handling of the violence in Charlottesville, VA, many organizations are cashing in on the tragedy.

The New Robber Barons of the West Coast
During his presidency, President Obama often lectured the nation on the follies of being too rich. Corporate execs, he scolded, should realize when they had made enough money. Entrepreneurs did not build their own businesses. The government did. President Obama also hammered Mitt Romney for investing in companies that went overseas in search of cheap […]
Identity Politics Poisoning America
Focusing on President Trump’s statement following the violence in Charlottesville, VA, is a mistake, writes the WSJ in Review and Outlook. It lets everyone duck the deeper and growing problem of identity politics. On the right and on the left. The politics of white supremacy was a poison on the right for many decades, but […]
Putting Charlottesville into Perspective
Is what happened in Virginia, home to Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello, really what is going on in our country? Roger Simon, whose writing has been described as a balance between Hunter Thompson and Theodore White, answers the question at PJ Media.
