Bernie Sanders—the man whose popularity rests on his decrying high earners who are allowed to pay lower effective tax rates than blue-collar works—just released his tax forms this weekend. Mr. Sanders, the Vermont socialist, just saved himself thousands of dollars using legal deductions that he would ban under his own tax plan. As NRO’s Jim […]
A Brown Shirt Witch Hunt
In the high-stakes politics of climate change, science seldom fares well, writes Holman W. Jenkins in the WSJ. “… it’s bizarre to watch green campaigners attack anybody who questions the thinly based science that keeps down our best carbon-free energy choice.” From the editors at NRO on the fraud case involving Exxon: On March 29, […]
Julia Child’s First Lunch in France
The following excerpt is taken from My Life in France by Julia Child and Alex Prud’homme. We began our lunch with a half-dozen oysters on the half-shell. I was used to bland oysters from Washington and Massachusetts, which I had never cared much for. But this platter of portugaises had a sensational briny flavor and […]
Hillary—Staggering to the Democratic Nomination?
Hillary Clinton has a serious problem. No, not just her email scandal and the FBI. Hillary has a serious problem with her party’s base. “She’s being soundly rejected by millennials, a core element of Barack Obama’s coalition, while generating only middling enthusiasm from Hispanics and African-Americans,” writes Josh Kraushaar in NationalJournal. The numbers don’t lie. […]
Hillary’s Pinocchio Attack on Bernie
Hillary Clinton, who has been giving unremarkable speeches to unimposing crowds, as the New Yorker points out, has been blaming Bernie Sanders’s state of Vermont for New York’s crime. Below, The Washington Post quotes Hillary: [Sanders] frequently says, “We’re a small, rural state, we have no gun laws.” Here’s what I want you to know. […]
Obama on Hillary and the FBI Investigation
Recently, President Obama weighed in on the Justice Department probe of Hillary Clinton’s private server. In an interview with Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday, Bob Woodward commented that Mr. Obama did not just touch a hot stove, but that “he put his arms around it,” with his defense of Mrs. Clinton in the FBI’s […]
Bernie—the Fundraising Frontrunner
With six straight wins, one might ask why Bernie Sanders is doing so well against Hillary Clinton? Not being interviewed by the FBI might be a good place to start for an electorate sick of the status quo in Washington. Hillary’s email fiasco is the epitome of political privilege. HRC is battling not only the […]
Hillary Playing Games with the FOIA?
Hillary Clinton’s biggest problem this election season is not Bernie Sanders or Donald Trump. Nor is Mrs. Clinton’s biggest problem several inspectors general, the intelligence community, or the entire Republican ecosphere colluding to turn her home-brew email system into a fake scandal. At the moment, her biggest problem is the federal judiciary and the judges who […]
Two Years Later a Still Dysfunctional VA
It has been two years since the Department of Veterans Affairs scandal broke in April 2014, and what restructuring and reform has taken place? Almost nothing has changed, writes Pete Hegseth, an Army veteran. “VA officials have kept their jobs, and veterans continue to be treated like second-class citizens inside their own system. But after […]
The Rise of the Medicore
“How did it come about that we have five such unimpressive contenders for the presidency of the United States? Is there something in our system of electing candidates that makes inevitable the rise of the mediocre and even the exaltation of the vulgar?” asks Epstein in the WSJ. John Kasich talks endlessly about his own […]
