Alan ‘Ace’ Greenberg, former CEO of Bear Stearns passed away on July 25. The Wall Street Journal writes: Alan “Ace” Greenberg, the executive who helped turn Bear Stearns Cos. into one of the world’s biggest—and riskiest—securities firms, died of complications from cancer in New York on Friday at the age of 86. Mr. Greenberg began […]
Cato’s Dan Mitchell KOs Paul Krugman
For my money, the writings of one Paul Krugman have always led to, well, revulsion. Krugman and his ilk find favor with socialist and income redistribution types as found, by example, in France. And in the recent European Parliament elections, hard right wing third-party leader Marine Le Pen of Front National kicked the stuffing out […]
CIA Bin Laden Unit Leader Was Right on Ron Paul
Michael Scheuer is the former head of the Bin Laden unit for the CIA. He quit in disgust after the 9-11commission report was released. Here is a great look back at Michael’s feelings on a Ron Paul presidential run. Based on these two experiences, let us examine what Iowans voting for someone other than Ron […]
Vladimir Putin Not Guilty
Did Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin order the downing of Malaysian flight MH17 over Ukraine? Pat Buchanan writes, “As for the downing of the Malaysian airliner, Putin did not order that. Sen. John Cornyn says U.S. intelligence has not yet provided any ‘smoking gun’ that ties the missile-firing to Russia.” Not withstanding the above, the […]
U.S. Plummets to #17
As recently as 2001, the United States was ranked the 3rd-freest economy in the world. Cato Institute’s Dan Mitchell delivers the shocking news that the U.S., thanks to Bush-Obama statism, has plummeted to number 17 in the rating. I think it would be good if China became more like Hong Kong and that this led […]
Justin Amash (R-MI): Congress’s Most Libertarian Member
Debbie and I are strong supporters of Michigan Rep. Justin Amaish. As our friend Cato Institute’s David Boaz points out, Rep. Justin Amash (R-MI) is the most pro-free-enterprise and most libertarian member of Congress. The shocker for most Americans, as David Boaz explains, is the opposition to Justin Amash by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. […]
Putin: Stew in Your Own Juice!
We do not have all the details yet on the Malyasian MH17 airline attack, but what does appear clear is that a missile supplied by Vladimir Putin’s Russia was involved. As Cato Institute’s Chris Preble advises, let’s give Putin a little time to stew in his own juice before running off half cocked—neocon style. As […]
War with Iran?
Tuesday, 15 November 2011, Pat Buchanan in “Return of the War Party” wrote, The only way we could eliminate Iran’s nuclear program would be days of air and missile strikes. Iran could retaliate by cutting off oil exports and mining the Strait of Hormuz, tripling the world price, and hurling the European Union and United […]
War Dogs Rogues Gallery
The varsity cheerleaders for the neocon/nation builders can be found at The Foreign Policy Initiative. Whenever you see mention of FPI, be assured you are looking at the cheerleaders for meddling in foreign entanglements that have nothing to with the security of America. FPI looks to PROMOTE an ACTIVE U.S. foreign policy committed to robust […]
The Liz & Dick Problem
The Cheneys are back on the warpath beating neocon drums. Does the pair have neither shame nor comprehension of history? The Cheneys were a big part of the misguided foreign policy that got America into senseless interventionist wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Today, after a decade of American intervention, both these countries remain in shambles […]
