Americans are being asked by the Washington Post to believe its story that President leaked classified info to the Russians during a meeting. The Post is quoting anonymous sources–sources who were not in the room. According to the Post: President Trump revealed highly classified information to the Russian foreign minister and ambassador in a White […]
The Media—Going over the Edge with Trump
Even the Media has rules, or used to have. Hatred for Donald Trump is so intense it has destroyed journalists’ “judgement and in some cases affected their character.” Tucker Carlson describes the hysteria that has engulfed the media as it rushes to degrade itself further.

The President–Only Accountable to the Electorate
Think back. Do you remember 1993 and William Sessions? Mr. Sessions, appointed by President Reagan, was the FBI Director who served through Bush 41’s term. When President Clinton took office, Sessions still had four more years to go in his 10-year term as director. And then, Francis Menton reminds readers, President Clinton fired Sessions. Clinton […]
No Magic Money Tree for “Free Care”
It is time for some straight talk on the sensitive issue of preexisting conditions, a subject “fraught with emotion.” There are no easy answers, claims Michael Tanner of the Cato Institute, but understanding the reality for those who are already sick or at high risk of becoming sick is a good start. First, why is […]
Lack of Liberty—France’s Big Problem?
Emmanuel Macron, the newly elected president of France and the youngest leader since Napoleon, assured voters in his victory speech that it is “a new page in our history.” Not so fast, M.

The Tragedy of the French Presidential Election
The choices are between Marine Le Pen and Emmanuel Macron. As the French go to the pols today, May 7, to elect their new president, here is what they face. One candidate is the daughter of a fascist gadfly. She has been the leader of the National Front, a party whose history has been marked […]
Taxing Its Way into a Depressing Death Spiral
The state of Connecticut is a prime example of the Laffer Curve. Using the back of a napkin, Art Laffer drew a simple display illustrating the point at which collecting taxes falls to zero, “because nobody bothers to earn or report any income,” writes Francis Menton in the Manhattan Contrarian. In the 80s, New York […]
Watch These People Destroy the Pronunciation of Wine Words!
Originally posted March 14, 2017. As Dick and I get set for another extended research trip to Paris and Burgundy in early April the subject of wine comes to the forefront. Wine lingo can present a thorny task for beginners. Dick and I both got a chuckle out of this most instructive little video. Enjoy! […]
The Nonsense on Why Hillary Lost
The nonsense of why Hillary Clinton lost the presidency is going to be repeated over and over. The FBI and the Russians will be the Democratic mantra in the age of Trump, writes David French in NRO. It’s not like the Democrats presented America with a noble public servant, and America chose the dishonest real […]
