Starting out the debate with all eyes on Trump, the WSJ’s Peggy Noonan writes that as the evening progressed, the strength of the GOP field overshadowed the “boorish and ungentlemanly” Donald Trump. The debates, writes Ms. Noonan, were sparky, hot as a pistol—the crowd electric, the questions adversarial. I really don’t know if fiery debates […]
Presidential Debates Tonight
I will be looking for focus on three issues in tonight’s Fox News debate: Dump the tax code. Replace it with a 10/10/10 flat tax on personal/corporate income and final retail sales. No federal tax on dividends, interest or estates. Simple post card federal tax filing. Commit to putting an end to the military adventurism, […]
Friends of Bill—Now Friends of Hill
“Utterly irrelevant,” writes the WSJ’s Kimberly Strassel of Hillary Clinton’s attempt to “fuzzy up” her story that information wasn’t classified at the time she sent it. According to the NYT, the Justice Department “hasn’t decided if it will open an investigation.” Why are State Department officials doing backbends to justify why Mrs. Clinton emailed classified […]
Trump off the Rails
Writing in National Review, Jim Geraghty tells readers that Trump’s populist appeal tends to “fall apart on closer inspection.” “Case in point: American policy in the Middle East, where Trump has in recent years repeatedly endorsed the bizarre, bellicose fantasy that the U.S could and should seize oil fields in Iraq and Libya.” In 2007, […]
The Real Jeb Bush?
Writing in The American Conservative, founding editor Scott McConnell offers some interesting perspective on Jeb Bush. Among Scott’s highlights are the following. Jeb has now reversed himself on Iraq, saying that he would “not have gone to war.” Jeb has added both leading neocon Paul Wolfowitz as well as “realist” James Baker to his list […]
Marco Rubio Wrong for America, Part II
The editors of the American Conservative tell readers that neoconservatives “are keen to build up people like Jamie Fly—now a top council on national security to Marco Rubio and formerly the director of a think tank founded by Kristol (Bill) and fellow neoconservatives Dan Senor and Robert Kagan. FPI is the sister to Kristol and […]
Taking the Black Vote for Granted
Rick Perry gave a speech in the beginning of July at the National Press Club in Washington. In his speech, Mr. Perry recounted an abominable incident—the torture and lynching of a 17-year old black man in Waco, Texas, in 1916. The WSJ’s Daniel Henninger writes that by doing so, Mr. Perry threw down the gauntlet […]
Hillary Deciding Our Destiny?
Are you ready for Hillary? As NRO’s Charles C. W. Cooke asks, is she the “spirit animal of a washed-out and intellectually bankrupt generation?” (Hillary’s country is one) “in which tax rates can be set without reference to global competition; in which the taxi commission and the trade union are the heroes while the entrepreneurs […]
Blowhards Don’t Wear Well
“Does Donald Trump ruin the Republican brand,” asks Peggy Noonan in the WSJ. Well he certainly enjoys disparaging them and highlighting their weaknesses, while setting himself apart from Republican contenders. But Donald does have a real following, and not just among Republicans. In what Ms. Noonan describes as “anecdotal,” here is what several people said […]
Millennials’ Attitudes on War
The Cato Institute gives a good look to “The Next Generation’s Attitudes toward Foreign Policy And War.” A. Trevor Thrall and Erik Goepner highlight the following: The Millennial Generation, those roughly 87 million adult men and women born between 1980 and 1997, now represent one-quarter of the U.S. population, outnumbering the Greatest Generation (1913-1924), the […]
