Bernie Sanders is the candidate who likes to brag that he is too high-minded to run negative ads and that he hates “political soap opera.” But as Kimberley A. Strassel writes in the WSJ, how can the “high-minded” Mr. Sanders be so blasé about Hillary Clinton’s email shenanigans or the Clinton Foundation entanglements? (Sanders) might […]
Wrong Year to Shelve Your Hallucinogens?
Peggy Noonan writes that, not unlike the Kübler-Ross stages of grief, she is seeing her friends go through the five stages of Trump: Denial (“He’s going nowhere, he’s a farce”). Anger (“This vulgar slob of a fool has some nerve messing with the American electoral process for his own enjoyment”). Bargaining (“If we make him […]
Ben Carson and Guns
The Final Solution
On 20 January 1942, 15 high-ranking Nazi Party and German government officials met in the Berlin suburb of Wannsee to discuss and coordinate the implementation of what they called the “Final Solution of the Jewish Question.” The Wannsee Conference was held for the specific purpose: to further coordinate a policy aimed at the physical annihilation […]
Gun Control Costs Lives
Thomas Sowell writes in NRO that a disarmed population makes crime a safer occupation for criminals. Why anyone would think that criminals who disobey other laws, including laws against murder, would obey gun-control laws is a mystery. Do you think that someone who is prepared to use a 30-shot magazine for criminal purposes is going […]

As Mr. Moore warns, Washington—the President, Congress, and the Fed—is rebuilding another financial house of cards. When the financial crash comes from this “rampant financial negligence of […]
A Model of Seriousness, Professionalism and Discreetness
Kimberley A. Strassel writes in the WSJ that the real shame of the dust-up between Hillary Clinton and Kevin McCarthy is that it wrongly discredits the work the House Benghazi committee, especially Trey Gowdy, has done. The investigation led by Mr. Gowdy “has been a model of seriousness, professionalism and discreetness.” Keeping the Benghazi committee […]
Buyer Beware—Organic, Farm Raised, Wild?
Confused on the labeling for fish: “organic,” “wild” or “farm raised”? You should be, because the USDA does not have organic-certification criteria for seafood. Food & Water Watch reports that any fish with an organic label is imported and is “organic” according to some other country’s standards. Here is what an “organic” label means: It […]
The Tragedy of NYC Schools
Why does NYC Mayor Bill de Biasio want to protect the entrenched interests of an education system in which only 19% of black students in district schools are working on grade level? Nicholas Simmons, a vice president in the Success Charter School network, writes in the WSJ that he worked in the same building as […]
