Victor Davis Hanson lays out in NRO the many ironies of Donald Trump being president for the Left, for the Never Trump, for the Always Trump, and for the Better Than the Alternative. First, the Left. Left-leaning politicians and media were untroubled by the President Obama’s unconstitutional abuses during his eight years in the White […]
Success Comes to NYC Schools
Despite progressive NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio’s best efforts to stop the spread of charter schools, the school year is ending on another high note for NYC’s Success Academy Charter Schools, Jason L. Riley informs readers in the WSJ. Here’s why the waiting list for Success continues to swell with more than 17,000 applications for […]
How’s This for an Obama Legacy?
From NRO’s Andrew McCarthy, read about the Obama White House’s unlawful surveillance and massive abuse of foreign intelligence gathering: Enabling of domestic spying, contemptuous disregard of court-ordered minimization procedures (procedures the Obama administration itself proposed, then violated), and unlawful disclosure of classified intelligence to feed a media campaign against political adversaries. While President Barack Obama […]
Squaring the Health Care Circle with Fairy Dust
What do Americans really want from health-care reform? Unlimited care, from the doctor of their choice, with no wait, and, well yes, free of charge, writes Michael D. Tanner, senior fellow at the Cato Institute. For Republicans, trying to square this circle has led to panic, paralysis, and half-baked policy proposals such as the Obamacare-replacement […]
Connecticut—the Chickens Come Home to Roost
As an intro to NRO’s “Rust Belt Connecticut,” read first from Timothy O. Jones, associate editor at Young Research & Publishing, why he left the Hudson Valley region of New York, Connecticut’s neighbor, where he grew up. No surprise to me. That’s why I’m here (Aquidneck Island) and not in the heart of the Hudson […]
Wealthy Politicians: Good for Me, but Not for Thee
Being a millionaire today does not have the same cachet it did say 20 years ago. Still, even by today’s standards, earning $1+ million in one year is pretty darn good, especially for a socialist like Bernie Sanders. As NRO’s Jim Geraghty points out, though, Bernie’s $1 million pales in comparison to Hillary’s $14 million […]
Hypocrisy Looms Large with Government Subsidy-Farming
Climate change is real, announces the headline in the Washington Post, before it moves on to explain how disappointed some industry tycoons are in Trump’s exiting the Paris Agreement. In response [to President Trump’s announcement], one corporate titan after another tweeted their disappointment at the announcement, companies issued statements committing to action on climate change […]
The Swamp Runneth over with Unratified Treaties
Why did President Trump reject the Paris Agreement? The Paris Agreement is a treaty, which was “never even submitted to the Senate, much less approved by the two-thirds supermajority that is supposed to protect us from bad deals,” explains Andrew C. McCarthy in NRO. Furthermore, writes Mr. McCarthy, “the swamp runneth over with signed but […]
Au Revoir Paris, Bonjour America
Before the likes of billionaires Tom Steyer and Elon Musk, media darlings Tom Brokaw and Paul Krugman, celebrities Bette Midler and Leo DiCaprio get too lathered up about President Trump’s cancelling of the Paris Agreement, they might want to read what Patrick J. Michaels, director of the Center for the Study of Science at the […]
Donald Trump—the Vulgarian at the Gates?
The Washington establishment—Republicans, Democrats, the Beltway media—loath Donald Trump and are still “bitterly angry that their wisdom was spat upon by the voters,” writes John Kass in the Chicago Tribune. Yes, Trump has been caught in lies. Yes he is the twittering vulgar showman presiding in a White House surrounded by chaos. And yes, he […]
