Could a Donald Trump presidency be the last nail in NATO’s coffin? “NATO is an alliance showing multiple signs of a terminal condition,” writes Ted Galen Carpenter, senior fellow at the Cato Institute. Trump “would be almost certain to demand major reforms, and it is not out of the realm of possibility that he would […]
Worse than Trump? The Establishment
“Donald Trump’s speech was important,” writes Peggy Noonan in the WSJ. “He is a vivid figure and for a year has elicited strong reactions. By now he’s exhausting. We have Trump Fatigue. Also, who doesn’t know how he feels about him? His acceptance speech was an opportunity to break through in a new way and […]
Roads Less Traveled
Dick and I will no longer be looking in the rearview mirrors of our Harley-Davidsons. After 24 years of riding over 120,000 miles, we are hanging up our riding gear. Sad? In many ways, of course. But the flip side is that we have seen plenty of this country from two wheels without one serious mishap. […]
Hillary Clinton’s Supreme Court Litmus Test
In an effort to woo Bernie Sanders followers to vote for Hillary, Mrs. Clinton is intensifying her promise to rewrite the 1st Amendment, which would limit political speech that she and Bernie’s followers don’t like. In a taped speech to Netroots Nation (a conference of progressives), here’s what Mrs. Clinton promised: Today, I’m announcing that […]
The One Guy Accountable
President Obama at the memorial service for five dead policemen in Dallas: “We refuse to fund drug treatment and mental health programs.” Francis Menton responds in the Manhattan Contrarian: Huh? You sure wouldn’t get that impression about “drug treatment programs” from reading the National Drug Control Budget from your Office of National Drug Control Policy. […]
Hillary–Criminally Stupid?
As France was gathering its dead, dying, and maimed from the Promenade des Anglais in Nice, where last week Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel careened over victims in his white lorry, Andrew C. McCarthy reminded readers of Hillary’s foremost concern in the face of terrorist attacks: “Let’s be clear: Islam is not our adversary. Muslims are peaceful […]
So What’s Obama’s Excuse?
From President Obama’s memorial service speech in Dallas for dead policemen: “As a society, . . . [w]e allow poverty to fester so that entire neighborhoods offer no prospect for gainful employment.” “Who’s the “we” there, pal? It sure isn’t the American citizens and voters,” asks and answers Francis Menton in Manhattan Contrarian. I would […]
Glocks—Not the Time or the Place
The setting: The memorial service for five slain Dallas police officers in Dallas. The subject: Gripes about government spending and gun laws. The speaker: President Barrack Obama: As a society, we choose to underinvest in decent schools! We allow poverty to fester so that entire neighborhoods offer no prospect for gainful employment! We refuse to fund […]
Progressive Arrogance Unbound
“Let’s give her (Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg) credit,” observes Ed Whelan in NRO, “for exposing, once again, how nakedly political she is.” Mr. Whelan is referring to Justice Ginsburg’s recent interview with Adam Liptak in the New York Times. Justice Ginsburg’s “series of verbal eruptions” is a major breach of judicial decorum, writes the WSJ. […]
Hillary Becoming Bernie
Evidently Hillary Clinton cannot run as her unlikable self and a slogan of “at least I wasn’t indicted” is not all that inspirational. Instead, Mrs. Clinton is doing her best to morph into Bernie Sanders, writes Michael Tanner of the Cato Institute. Here are a few Sanders-like proposals from “Hillary Sanders:” A so-called “public option” […]
