You want to read Cato’s 14th biennial Fiscal Report Card on America’s Governors, produced by Chris Edwards—director of tax policy studies and editor of www.downsizingGovernment.org. There’s no hiding from the teacher in the school of fiscal responsibility. The report grades 43 governors, excluding governors of Alabama, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, New Jersey, and Virginia because of […]
F-35 Fleet Grounded after Crash
It was a mistake cancelling the twin engine F-22 program. The funds had been sunk so to speak. And then it was cancelled in the ninth inning. Talk to any pilot and he’ll tell you two engines are better than one. Now, the inferior single-engine F-35 is grounded because of another problem with its balky […]
50,000 Factories Lost: A Scar on Rural America
UPDATE: After President Trump negotiated a new trade deal with Canada and Mexico, auto manufacturers are looking at bringing jobs back to North America. The Wall Street Journal’s Chester Dawson and William Boston report on the new deal: “The tentative deal, which replaces Nafta, requires auto makers to build at least 75% of a car’s […]
Hurricane Prep: How Confident Are You in Your Generator?
The Gulf coast is being threatened by Hurricane Michael, which is currently a Category 4 storm. During Hurricane Florence I told you to Prepare for the Hurricane, and showed you FEMA’s guide to getting yourself ready for a major storm.

Hurricane Michael: How to Prepare for a Category 3
The Gulf coast is being threatened by Hurricane Michael, which could be a Category 3 storm by the time it reaches shore.

The Kavanaugh Vote: #1 Salesmen for the GOP Midterm Rally
“So much for that Blue Wave coming in November,” a friend pointed out to me this week. That could simply be our wishful thinking. But, just as President Obama was America’s #1 gun salesman, it turns out Democrats on the Judiciary Committee and Christine Blasey Ford are the #1 salesmen for a Conservative America. Let’s […]
Rhode Island’s Misguided Gun-Safety Task Force
The 43-member gun-safety task force that Gov. Gina Raimondo created last April has released its final recommendations. And it neuters Second Amendment rights for all Rhode Islanders—most of all law-abiding Rhode Islanders who own guns. I’ll make two points. First, the recommendation “Prohibits the concealed carry of firearms on the school grounds and within 1,000 […]
The Democrats’ Weaponization of the Kavanaugh Hearings
The Kavanaugh confirmation has been about delay, delay, delay from the very beginning. Democrats were never seeking the “truth” about Judge Brett Kavanaugh, a point made clear by the group of ten (plus Jeff Flake). Democrat Senator Sheldon Whitehouse’s year-book buffoonery was a complete embarrassment. But don’t tell that to his supporters. Despite his incompetence, Rhode […]
Too Bad Jeff Flake doesn’t Fight like Sheldon Whitehouse
Putting on his best Bill Clinton impression, Jeff Flake voiced his concerns about Judge Brett Kavanaugh—being forced from a senate seat will do that. Flake’s “please all-sides” attempt doesn’t cut it. It’s time to put away the kid gloves. The Democrats, like Sheldon Whitehouse, have. Whitehouse’s disgusting interrogation of Brett Kavanaugh during last week’s hearing […]
Recanted: Kavanaugh’s Summer of 1985 in Newport, RI
The groundless accusation of a sexual assault in Newport made by a Rhode Island man against Judge Brett Kavanaugh has been recanted reports The Providence Journal. “Crazy stuff. Gangs, illegitimate children, fights on boats in Rhode Island,” Kavanaugh told the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday. “All nonsense. Reported breathlessly and often uncritically by the media.” […]
