Originally posted July 30, 2013. According to Jerry Zeifman, a lifelong Democrat, Hillary Clinton was an unethical file-removing liar unsuitable for any position of public or private trust. Sound a little harsh? Not at all, simply the view of the chief counsel to the House Judiciary Committee at the time of Nixon’s impeachment. In National […]

Good Morning from Budapest
Good morning from the Four Seasons, Budapest—our view from our balcony of the Buda Castle (right). The Gresham Palace is a beautiful Art Deco hotel. Just had what may be about the best cup of coffee ever. More than a touch of cream might have something to do with it. We are on the Pest […]
Liberals in “Absolute Control” of Academia
Jason L. Riley, who spoke last winter at a Cato event Dick, Matt and I attended in Naples, Florida, recently was disinvited from delivering the BB&T Distinguished Lecture at Virginia Tech’s Pamplin College of Business.

Cato’s Chris Preble Addresses Krauthammer Article
National Review’s Charles Krauthammer recently penned an article headed The Four Foreign Policies. I thought Charles, on balance, explained the foreign policy positions of Trump, Sanders, Cruz and Clinton quite succinctly. Despite my generally favorable review, I questioned Krauthammer’s linking Ronald Reagan to the neocons. I put the question to my friend Chris Preble, Vice President […]

And convulsions are always disruptive,” writes John O’Sullivan in National Review. Mr. O’Sullivan, a British citizen (with […]

New York in the Crosshairs of Global Terrorism
Originally posted September 16, 2013. If you thought that all was quiet on the terrorism front, you’ve been out of contact with the views of New York police chief Ray Kelly. I have written often that I regard Ray Kelly as America’s number one defender against Muslim radicals. Chief Kelly’s New York anti-terrorism unit sets […]
Mitch Daniels—an Adult on Campus
Following in the footsteps of students at Missouri and Yale, students at Vanderbilt are now petitioning for the suspension of Professor of Law and Political Science Carol Swain for being “hateful” toward minorities. According to Peter Kirsanow in National Review, Carol Swain, who is black, made “politically incorrect statements about radical Islam and her traditional Christian […]
