Spike Lee, Will and Jada Pinkett Smith, and Rep. Danny Davis (D., Ill.) have a problem with the Academy Awards. Their frustration is understandable in that not one black actor has not been nominated in the four major Oscar categories for the second year in row. But as this controversy plays out, Kay Cole James […]
Trump Protecting the Unprotected?
A terrible feature of our age, writes Peggy Noonan, is that America is governed by what she refers to as protected people, our elites who don’t seem to care that much about their unprotected fellow citizens. “The Democrats won’t protect you and the Republicans won’t help you,” which is a leading reason—this lack of protection—we […]
Cruz/Rubio Must Switch Gears Fast
Unless Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz reverse the campaign strategies they have been following to date, there is no way they are going to defeat Donald Trump. As Charles Krauthammer argues, “Cruz has to stop acting defensively. Forget about the liar and the dirty tricks, he got distracted. … ended up on the defense, and wasted […]
Why the Supreme Court Matters
“The Obama administration has publicly admitted that the intent of the CPP (Clean Power Plan) is to ‘transform’ the generation of electricity in the United States — in the face of a statute that nowhere talks about granting such a power,” writes Francis Menton in the Manhattan Contrarian. In over 300 pages of nearly incomprehensible […]
DNC Stacking the Deck for Hillary?
Bernie Sanders, despite losing in Nevada to Hillary Clinton, is crushing Hillary among young voters. Bernie won voters aged 17 to 29 by 68 points and those aged 30 to 44 by 27 points, reports Jim Geraghty in NRO. Democratic voters consistently say Mr. Sanders is more honest and cares more about people like them. […]
Rubio/Cruz- Possible Suspects in a Police Line Up?
In the late 1980s, David Franke collaborated with Dick on The Financial Armadillo. Dick and I got to know Dave quite well as he was also managing editor of Richard C. Young’s Intelligence Report for a number of years. Recently in The American Conservative, Dave opined on the CNN Town Hall, hosted by Anderson Cooper, […]
Let the Voters Decide
The modern left has become increasingly unappeasable, writes Peggy Noonan in the WSJ. Progressives now accept no limits. We can’t just have court-ordered legalized abortion across the land, we have to have it up to the point of birth, and taxpayers have to pay for it. It’s not enough to win same-sex marriage, you’ve got […]
Rejecting a Faustian Deal with the Clintons
The Clinton campaign is shell-shocked, reports Maureen Dowd in the NYT. They were convinced an entire generation of young women would be awed by Hillary Clinton and would never reject her in favor of, say, a boutique candidate like Bernie Sanders. Hillary believed that there was an implicit understanding with the sisters of the world […]
Deliberate Obfuscation at the EPA
Last August, the EPA’s hazmat team breached a retaining wall at an abandoned Gold Rush-era mine near Durango, Colorado. With that breach, three million gallons of toxic sludge flowed into a creek that is a tributary of the Animas River. “New evidence suggests the government isn’t coming clean about what happened,” writes the WSJ. The […]
Turning the Tables on Conservatives
Laura Ingraham, a nationally syndicated ratio show host, attacks the argument from conservatives that Donald Trump is not conservative enough. Republicans claim to promote a humble foreign policy, but look at our foreign entanglements in the last 15 years. How about knocking back government spending? It’s a joke. “So everybody’s credibility is shot. And a […]
