The Wall Street Journal’s Notable & Quotable: From a Jan. 27 letter to Sen. Harry Reid and Rep. Nancy Pelosi from Terry O’Sullivan, general president of the Laborers’ International Union of North America, and D.

Proclamations from HRM Obama
I did not post yesterday on that delusional Obama state of the union address, as I did not watch the spectacle. I certainly had no intention of ruining what had been a wonderful Key West day, which ended with fresh pan-seared local Rose fish and Adelsheim Willamette Valley Pinot Noir. OK then, when was this fellow […]

Bring Back the Big “O”
Last year Boston sports radio station WEEI fired legendary afternoon host Glenn Ordway. The show hasn’t been the same since. It’s time to bring back the Big Show with the Big O. And it may just happen. The Boston Herald reports: WEEI, in a battle for survival with rival 98.5 The Sports Hub, may be headed for […]
An Imperial Presidency Threatens the Liberty of Every Citizen
“In the more than two centuries of our nation’s history, there is simply no precedent for the White House wantonly ignoring federal law and asking private companies to do the same,” writes Ted Cruz in the WSJ.

The FDA knows this and is doing little about the nationwide danger. The FDA studied 30 antibiotics put into animal feed and found that 18 of the studied antibiotics opened humans to high risk. I have long been writing on just this subject and advising you to avoid big box supermarkets and confinement-raised beef. Words […]
Liar!
As John Hayward points out, President Obama’s increased minimum wage to $10.10 via executive order is not going to affect 2 million federal workers. They simply do not exist: Clearly the two greatest problems facing America are that not enough people work for the federal government, and federal employees don’t make enough money. Are there […]
Why Aren’t Democrats Demanding the President Abandon Obamacare?
According to a latest Gallup poll, 72% of Americans now view big government as the biggest threat to our country. White House officials say that President Obama wants to use tonight’s State of the Union address to put the past difficult year behind him. The problem is, as Marc Thiessen explains, a worse year is […]
Starting Over
You can bet investors will be phoning their brokers in a week or two when they get their January statements. The phone never rings when the market’s up. And it never ceases to amaze me how quickly investors forget—2008 wasn’t that long ago. It’s never a good idea to expect the markets to do something […]
Obamacare Creates More Problems Than It Solves
No matter how you spin the bottle, O’Care is a job-killing economic growth roadblock. It is a bureaucratic nightmare that is causing millions of Americans to lose their healthcare coverage and their doctors of choice. Here Cato Institute’s Michael Tanner outlines the failures of O’Care, including the “adverse selection death spiral.” Millions of Americans who […]
