Scott Walker has done a bang up job for Wisconsin and most Wisconsin voters couldn’t be happier. Here you get a look at Scott’s potential in the 2016 Presidential race. Marc Thiessen opines in The Washington Post: Right now, the GOP is split between two factions: grassroots tea party supporters who want an unapologetic conservative, […]
Wisconsin’s Republican Standout Scott Walker
Reps. McKeon and Thornberry Wrong on Defense Spending Cuts
Cato Institute’s Chris Preble calls it right. Today’s American military keys on a hyperactive foreign policy. We are largely focused on defending others. We continue to discourage our allies from defending themselves. The most important piece of the military spending puzzle remains the United States’ hyperactive foreign policy. Even if we were to implement the […]
Making Sense in Iran
Iran is unlikely to attempt to build a nuclear weapon because the immediate, worldwide outrage would make such a move beyond stupid. No way Iran comes out a winner in such a setting. The Geneva Accord can be a first step in bringing Iran back into the world economy. Pat Buchanan runs down a menu […]
Michael Cannon: “Here’s Where Things Get Scary”
Cato Institute’s Michael Cannon is the #1 scholar on understanding the travesty that is Obamacare. Here Mr. Cannon lays bare perhaps O’Care’s most frightening mandate–the Independent Payment Advisory Board. You are not going to believe what you read here. Talk about undemocratic authoritarian control. Yikes. Last week, I explained that the U.S. Senate’s deployment of the “nuclear […]
Mark Steyn, Jonah Goldberg and the NRO Gang
Jay Nordlinger, senior editor of National Review, writes: Last week, we had a fundraiser in Boston – a party at the Harpoon Brewery. By “we” I mean National Review and National Review Online. It was an interesting, satisfying, and rollicking time. I expected the Harpoon Brewery to be a restaurant with a serious amount of beer. Near […]
American Influence? How Did It Work Out in Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan?
Michael Dolan abuses the Iran deal by pointing to waning American influence in the Middle East as a result. But what has taking the hard line gotten America in previous regional wars like Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan? Here’s the quote: We shredded the six United Nations Security Council resolutions that ordered the Islamic Republic to […]
Iran Nuclear Deal Worthy of a Carefully Constructed Test?
Tom Friedman thinks so. I find myself agreeing with Mr. Friedman’s worldview about sixty percent of the time. As for Bibi Netanyahu and King Abdullah? Their credibility rating is far below Mr.Friedman’s. Never have I seen Israel and America’s core Arab allies working more in concert to stymie a major foreign policy initiative of a […]
Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani Was Elected to Engage the West
To date Rouhani is off to a reasonable start. The ball is now in Rouhani’s court to convince hard-line skeptics in the West that he can fully deliver on his election promises. Pay no attention to the constant carping of Saudi King Abdullah who has never impressed me as having the best interest of Americans […]
Obamacare: Doctors Dropping Out or Opting Out
Here the WSJ lays bare the falsehoods of O’Care. Is there any reason to not understand why the majority of Americans do not trust Obama? Most interestingly, the administration and congressional Democrats seem genuinely surprised that their prized legislation, which was to be the crown jewel of the president’s legacy and the culmination of decades […]
