Russia is in bad shape, writes Victor Davis Hanson in NRO. Innovative American technology to frack gas and oil has crashed world energy prices. The big loser in this is Russia, which has lost nearly half of its oil revenue, and Russian President Vladimir Putin apparently will do anything to see it stopped (Russia) is […]
Is This City Committing Economic Suicide?
I’ve been writing about bad policy at the state and local levels for years now. Most recently I told you about the rough state of affairs in Hartford, CT, a major American city that’s headed toward a possible bankruptcy. Another government on the brink is the state of Illinois, which credit ratings agencies are watching […]
Good News/Bad News for the GOP
In a survey on Governor Approval Ratings taken by the Republican Governors Association, the 10 most popular governors in the country are from the GOP. That’s the good news. The bad news for Republicans, however, is that seven of the ten least popular governors are from the GOP. But that’s what happens, as Jim Geraghty […]
Does NATO Subvert the Constitution?
Michael Scheuer makes a great case here for the unconstitutionality of the NATO treaty. The Treaty, signed nearly seventy years ago, binds today’s Congress to going to war against unknown enemies simply because they attack another allied nation. This obligation removes Congress, the only body constitutionally allowed to declare war, from the war making decision […]
Is This New Chinese Base a Threat to American Forces?
Djibouti, a tiny country on the Horn of Africa, is about to get a little crowded. The largest and only permanent U.S. Military base in Africa, Camp Lemonnier, will soon have new neighbors. China and Saudi Arabia are building military bases at the strategic Mandab Strait that sees 10 percent of the world’s oil and 20 […]
Shame: GOP’s Epic Obamacare Failure
Even after offering up a watered-down Obamacare Lite version of their “repeal,” the GOP Senate was too cowardly to fulfill the promise that gave Republicans control of the House, Senate and Presidency in 2010, 2014, and 2016 respectively. For years the Republicans have run on the promise to repeal and replace Obamacare with a plan […]
Now He Tells Her
“If you want to be president, you have to know why the heck you are running,” said former president Bill Clinton. Mr. Clinton was discussing his time in office and what it takes to become president at the George W. Bush Presidential Center. I think you have to begin with the end in mind. Yeah, […]
Could Trump Win Afghanistan Using Mercenaries?
A money man, an ambassador, a former SEAL, and a former Army policy advisor to the Joint Chiefs are all trying to persuade the Trump administration to outsource the war in Afghanistan to hired gun contractors. The money man, Steve Feinberg, is working the policy circuit in Washington trying to drum up support for the […]
“The Stupid Party”
The GOP, despite controlling every piece of the federal government showered Democrats with concessions in an effort to pass a budget continuation resolution. Cato Institute scholar Dan Mitchell explains that while the GOP may control the government, “there’s not a governing majority for smaller government.” With too many Republicans still looking for handouts and big government […]
Stand Up for Nevada Governor Brian Sandoval
Why do I support the Nevada Governor on a No vote for the Republican Health Care bill when a number of Republican senators have already been bought off by Republican leadership? Nevada Governor Sandoval has sound reasons for not supporting the Republican Health Care proposal. Republicans (the “stupid party”) will improve their chances for 2018 […]
