How Obama Shackled a Healthy Economy
How did the U.S. economy go from an OK condition in January 2017 to an intense, nationwide labor shortage and rising wages less than 18 months later? Daniel Henninger in the WSJ answers his own question – it lies in deciphering the effects of the Trump administration’s abrupt unwinding of the Obama era’s economic regulations. […]
Robert W. Merry–a Wake Up Call for President Trump
America cannot stand another anti-capitalist, progressive administration in Washington. It is for this reason I am loathe to post this stinging rebuke of Trump from the most erudite Robert W. Merry. In the final evaluation, I found nothing to quibble about with Mr. Merry’s analysis. As such I hope that joining Bob Merry in prodding […]
The Energy Chutzpah of the U.S.
In Katowice, Poland, last week and this, there was a gathering of 22,000 bureaucrats and functionaries. (You know, the one French President Macron hastily abandoned to deal with Yellow Vest rioting in Paris.) Their mission? To sound the alarm on the evil of fossil fuels and the need to transition to clean energy. The lead […]
Progressives Turn Their Guns on the Supreme Court
At The Federalist, Ryan Fazio explains how the Supreme Court, now solidly in conservative hands, is the arbiter constitutional interpretation. The political left is attacking the court’s legitimacy because it has no other avenue to do so. Fazio warns though that one “ill-advised alteration” to the constitution could upend everything. He writes (abridged): Concerted opposition […]

Europe is Openly Fleeing from Diversity
Pat Bucahan asks what American democracy has to offer the world besides the “diversity” that Europe is currently rejecting wholesale. Certainly attempts at democratizing the Middle East have not gone well, as Pat explains. He writes at The American Conservative (abridged): What does American democracy now offer the world as its foremost attribute, its claim […]
Looting, Vandalizing, Torching Get Political Results?
The real tragedy with the rioting in France is that President Macron could have avoided the wrath of the Yellow Vests. Macron, as promised while campaigning, did cut taxes, reform labor laws, and face down the national railroad unions. What sparked the protests, however, was what hadn’t been promised while Macron was campaigning: the fuel-tax […]
Three Blind Mice: Pelosi, Curry and Ocasio-Cortez
The writer using the nom de plume “Enemy Central,” serves up a three-way takedown of Nancy Pelosi, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Stephen Curry at The American Spectator. He writes: There’s a famous song about a San Francisco dame whose every stanza ends with the line, “That’s why the lady is tramp.” Frank Sinatra had a good […]
Red Flag: SWAT Team Confiscates Your Guns
You have a natural born right to self-defense. The Second Amendment guarantees it. But as we move into 2019, gun control advocates at both the state and federal level are coming for your guns. Are you familiar with a “red flag” order? “Every state has a slight variation in standards, but in general these confiscation […]
