Jeb Bush’s Two Hole Cards
Americans, based on Jeb’s Bobby Vee-ish last debate performance, have to wonder if Jeb’s campaign is set to tank. Well, whoever was responsible for allowing Bush to go after Marco Rubio in such sophomoric fashion needs to be history, that’s for sure. Unquestionably, the Bush campaign needs a makeover and a new focus fast. But […]
Milton Friedman: “War is a Friend of the State”
Originally posted December 16, 2014. The Cato Institute’s Chris Preble, vice president for defense and foreign policy studies, is the author of The Power Problem: How American Military Dominance Makes Us Less Safe, Less Prosperous, and Less Free. Read here from Chris’ “Toward a Prudent Foreign Policy.” War is the largest and most far-reaching of […]
Abolish the IRS, as We Know It
The Ted Cruz Flat Tax Plan will work for America. Cruz’s plan would abolish the IRS as we know it and end the use of the tax code as a political weapon, with a simple tax code that is “transparent and resistant to corruption.” The personal income tax rate would be 10% after a $ […]
Bye, Bye, Bye, Bye
The winner of last night’s Republican debate was Ted Cruz. Just like a Chuck Berry John B. Goode performance at an Alan Freed Brooklyn Paramount Theatre stage show, Ted Cruz carried the night. Donald Trump, with his Jerry Lee Lewis like best effort, threatened to, at any minute, burn down the house. Carly Fiorina gave […]
Boots Back on the Ground
Are American voters aware that the Obama administration has authorized a boots-back-on-the-ground strategy in Syria? And do voters understand that the goal is to defeat Bashar Assad, who the Russians are backing with some serious air power that is causing thousands to flee? American voters should be up in arms as to why Congress has […]
Trump The War Monger?
The American Conservative’s Daniel Larison gives readers the results of a survey looking at the hawkish or dovish position of Republican candidates. Mr. Trump leads the hawk pack while Rand Paul ranks as the least hawkish. Do you believe the survey? Does any voter really have a good handle on what Donald Trump might do […]
Rubio Is No Front Runner
The American Conservative’s Daniel Larison details the case that Marco Rubio, under no standard measure, is the Republican front-runner. Larison is most certainly correct, as Rubio’s poll numbers at no point have come anywhere near to matching Trump’s or Carson’s. The Rubio case has been built on a thesis that Trump and Carson will fold, […]
Putin’s Quagmire in Ukraine
It’s not going as planned in Ukraine for Russia’s Vladimir Putin. As has so often been the case in the past for Russian interventions (and not unlike for the U.S.), Russia now finds itself in a costly and debilitating quagmire. Here NPR outlines the view from Foreign Policy: “Militarily, it is a stalemate. … Economically, the […]
Clinton Against Second Amendment
The next president will almost certainly have a chance to nominate one or more U.S. Supreme Court justices. Were Hillary Clinton president, she would attempt to get through another Ginsburg, Sotomayor, Breyer, Kagan liberal who would put your Second Amendment rights at risk. Americans could face a scenario where the government would call for citizens […]
