Unfortunately, few among us reach a certain age without having a loved one or good friend die from or deal with cancer. In Ken Burns’ film “Cancer: The Emperor of All Maladies” (on PBS), we are told, “Cancer is a worldwide scourge. The fastest-growing disease on earth.” But as Stephen Moore, an economist at the […]
A 7th Century Struggle over the Rightful Heir
Unlike Asian autocrats, who tended to be modernizers (like Singapore’s Lee Kuan Yew), Arab autocrats tended to be predators “who used the conflict with Israel as a shiny object to distract their people from their own misgovernance,” writes Thomas L. Friedman in the NYT. Egypt may send troops to defeat the rebels in Yemen. If […]
Hillary’s Nixonian Shenanigans
Although the timing of the deletions is not clear, David Kendall, Hillary Clinton’s lawyer, revealed that the Mrs. Clinton’s private server could not be turned over to an independent third party for examination because her computer had been wiped clean. In theory, the House Benghazi Committee could subpoena them and take Ms. Clinton to court, […]
A Conundrum in America’s Workforce
One of the problems facing the U.S. today is that although there are a record number of Americans in the labor force today, there is also a labor shortage. Many businesses are desperately trying to find workers, writes the Heritage Foundation’s economist Stephen Moore. Employers are facing a shortage of either trained employees or low-skilled […]
A Morally Defective Candidate?
Last Friday we learned that Hillary Clinton wiped her email server clean after the State Department requested her private emails.

Shutting out Debate through Intimidation
In an attempt to cow climate skeptics, three Senate Democrats have been trying to muzzle more than 100 nonprofits and companies that question the climate agenda. How did these congressional climate crusaders came up with this idea? As the WSJ’s Kimberley A. Strassel writes, “For several years a coalition of liberal organizations have been using […]
Demographic Symbolism
“Hillary Clinton became an iconic figure by feeding the media and the Left the kind of rhetoric they love. Barack Obama did the same and became president. Neither had any concrete accomplishments beforehand besides rhetoric, and both have had the opposite of accomplishments after taking office.” Read more here from Thomas Sowell in NRO who […]
Can the President Be Trusted?
Kevin D. Williamson of NRO writes, “The serial dishonesty of the Obama administration in the near term involves a question about whether we can have honest government. In the long term, the question is whether we can have effective government at all.” Read more here on how the Obama administration misled and broke a promise […]
“Everything Not Forbidden Is Compulsory”
“Everything Not Forbidden Is Compulsory” T.H. White “It would be transformative if everybody voted,” told Mr. Obama to a crowd in Cleveland, Ohio, this week. So does that means that we are going to need more IRS agents? Peggy Noonan writes in the WSJ about the strangeness of President Obama’s words. Would it mean […]
Pricing Minorities Out of Jobs
“It is not a breakthrough on the frontiers of knowledge that minimum-wage laws reduce employment opportunities for the young and the unskilled of any age,” writes Thomas Sowell in NRO. Check out the unemployment rates in such countries as Spain, Greece and South Africa where unemployment rates hover around 25 percent. Why? Each of these […]
