“It’s time for a debate about global interventionism,” writes the Cato Institute’s David Boaz, who hopes that Rand Paul will open the discussion on why peace and neutrality should be the United States’ cardinal principle. “Historical data show a strong correlation between U.S. involvement in international situations and an increase in terrorist attacks against the […]
Bien Pensant and Je Suis Charlie
In Garland, Texas, two men with assault weapons tried to replicate last January’s Je suis Charlie attack on the offices of Charlie Hebdo in Paris.

Obamanomics—a Slow Rolling Crisis
The alarm bells should be clanging with the pitiful news of 0.2% economic growth for first-quarter 2015, writes economist Stephen Moore.

Party of Cynics—A Joyless Ride
Hillary, writes Bret Stephens in the WSJ, is singing a Song of Herself. “She will say, do, and be pretty much anything to get elected.” It’s what Mr. Stephens calls the Clinton Bargain: “You can always count on their self-interest trumping other considerations, so you never have to fear that they can’t be bought.” In […]

Chicken Little Falls Flat
Earth Day speeches on the National Mall in Washington were drenched with Chicken Little tales of a coming apocalypse, writes economist Stephen Moore. CNN explained to viewers that we could look forward to “super-droughts, rising seas, mass extinctions and acidifying oceans” before warning, “Bye-bye, animals.” And President Obama weighed in on the dire predictions: “This […]
The Clinton White House Sleep-Overs
Remember the 1990s when the Clinton re-election campaign took cash from the Riadys of Indonesia and various Chinese political operatives? Remember how the Clintons rented out the White House for fund-raising “coffees” and sleep-overs? And of course you remember Bill’s pardon for Marc Rich as the Clintons departed the White House.
