From NRO’s Andrew McCarthy, read about the Obama White House’s unlawful surveillance and massive abuse of foreign intelligence gathering: Enabling of domestic spying, contemptuous disregard of court-ordered minimization procedures (procedures the Obama administration itself proposed, then violated), and unlawful disclosure of classified intelligence to feed a media campaign against political adversaries. While President Barack Obama […]
There’s No Fire Behind the Media’s Trump/Russia Smoke
Pat Buchanan calls it the “Impeach-Trump Conspiracy.” The media has lost it’s senses (so says Russian president Vladimir Putin), and most reasonable people would have to agree. Buchanan homes in on the words of former acting CIA Director Mike Morrell, there’s no fire behind the smoke. Pressed by Megyn Kelly on his ties to President […]
Squaring the Health Care Circle with Fairy Dust
What do Americans really want from health-care reform? Unlimited care, from the doctor of their choice, with no wait, and, well yes, free of charge, writes Michael D. Tanner, senior fellow at the Cato Institute. For Republicans, trying to square this circle has led to panic, paralysis, and half-baked policy proposals such as the Obamacare-replacement […]
Opposition to Trump’s ATC Plan is Wrongheaded
My friend Chris Edwards at Cato Institute examines the motives of the groups opposing President Trump’s proposed Air Traffic Control (ATC) reforms. He calls the opposition reasoning “short-sighted.” A privatized system in Canada has lowered costs and made the system more efficient. Read more from Edwards below. The airlines are for it, the key labor union […]
Why Does the West Continue to Coddle the Saudis?
I have been regularly critical of America’s relationship with Saudi Arabia(see: Cut Off Weapons Sales to Saudi Arabia, A Tragic Display on Trump’s Saudi Trip, and The International Lunacy of Financing Saudi Arabia for a sample). Despite obvious conflicting interests, America and the West have maintained strong relationships with the Saudis. It’s a mystery as to why the […]
Connecticut—the Chickens Come Home to Roost
As an intro to NRO’s “Rust Belt Connecticut,” read first from Timothy O. Jones, associate editor at Young Research & Publishing, why he left the Hudson Valley region of New York, Connecticut’s neighbor, where he grew up. No surprise to me. That’s why I’m here (Aquidneck Island) and not in the heart of the Hudson […]
F-35 Engine Upgrade Tests Prove Substantial Fuel Savings & Increase Thrust
Pratt & Whitney has announced successful performance tests with its upgraded F135 turbo fan, which powers the f-35 Joint Strike Fighter. The test proves the upgrade could provide a 5% to 6% improvement in fuel burn while adding a 6%-10% thrust increase. The upgrades, part of the Navy-sponsored F135 Fuel Burn Reduction (FBR) and the […]
Wealthy Politicians: Good for Me, but Not for Thee
Being a millionaire today does not have the same cachet it did say 20 years ago. Still, even by today’s standards, earning $1+ million in one year is pretty darn good, especially for a socialist like Bernie Sanders. As NRO’s Jim Geraghty points out, though, Bernie’s $1 million pales in comparison to Hillary’s $14 million […]
America Mired in Nine Unconstitutional Presidential Wars
David Hoffman, writing at The American Conservative reviews the John Henry play “Republic for Which We Stand,” which premiered May 28 at the Castleton Theater House in Castleton, Virginia. According to Henry, the play “portrays the behind-the-scenes struggle of the founding fathers and mothers in designing the Constitution in Philadelphia in 1787. They make the […]
What is Wahhabism? And Why it Should Terrify You
PBS has collected interviews from various experts on Islam about the fundamentalist sect, Wahhabism, popular in Saudi Arabia. The descriptions of Wahhabism are terrifying in their implications. When Ali Al-Ahmed, a Shia and executive director of the Saudi Institute was asked to describe Wahhabism, here’s what he said, with my emphasis in bold: The religious […]
