Donald Trump and the EPA: Annulling, Reversing, Replacing and Relocating
The Trump administration must send a wide swathe of EPA staffers packing. It’s time to bleed this beast.

How a Free Market Economy Offers Economic Opportunities
Andy Puzder, chief executive of CKE Restaurants, the parent company of Hardee’s and Carl’s Jr., is Donald Trump’s pick for Labor Secretary.

Christmas Cheer over Trump’s Cabinet Picks
NRO’s Andrew McCarthy, not always a huge fan of Donald Trump, writes on why he is encouraged by Trump’s cabinet picks. “I don’t like everything Trump has done so far, but I like an awful lot of it. And saying so is only fair.” As far as Trump schmoozing with Al Gore? McCarthy maintains that […]

Writing at The American Conservative, Cato Institute’s vice president for defense and foreign policy studies, Chris Preble, takes a look at Trump’s foreign and defense policy team with special attention given to retired Marine Gen. James Mattis. I sense in Mattis a healthy appreciation for the limits of military power. He’s obviously no pacifist (check […]
Unleashing the Energy Economy
With Donald Trump’s announcement that Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt is to head the EPA, perhaps the present administration’s war on fossil fuels is about to end.
