Climate Change Was the Big Election Loser

A few days before last week's election, Bernie Sanders issued a dire warning to voters: "If Donald Trump is elected, the struggle against climate change is over." He had that right. Climate change fanaticism was effectively on the ballot last week. The green energy agenda was decisively ...

Thank God for the Electoral College

It seems that as more and more time goes by, my appreciation for the ingeniousness of our Founding Fathers elevates. I write this before knowing the outcome of the election. I sit behind a "veil of ignorance," with no advance knowledge of who will win the popular vote and who will win in the ...

Nobel Economists Put Partisanship Over Economic Common Sense

You may have heard that last week 24 Nobel economists wrote that Vice President Kamala Harris' economic plan would be better for America than the Trump agenda. The joint letter was spearheaded by the hyperpolitical Joseph Stiglitz. Yes, the same Joe Stiglitz who infamously flew to Caracas to ...

Kamala Harris Wants America to Have the World’s Highest Death Tax

Here is something no one in the media is reporting as Vice President Kamala Harris continues to duck and weave like Muhammad Ali in the ring to avoid any questions about her economic plan. The American Business Defense Foundation reports that under the Harris tax plan, the number of Americans ...

Don’t Nuke the Senate Filibuster!

Why is it that the politicians keep referring to America as a "democracy"? How many times have we heard that former President Donald Trump is a "threat to democracy"? Well, yes, we are a democracy. We vote in and out of office our politicians. But more importantly, we are a republic. This is ...

<em>Declaration of Independence</em> by John Trumbull

Can We All Get Along?

At the time of this writing, the outcome of the presidential race is pretty close to being a coin flip. So what I write is not in any way influenced by who will win in November, since that is unknowable. What is a virtual certainty is that on Nov. 6 roughly half the country will be full of joy, ...

Is Washington Distorting the Numbers?

We all know that math scores have been scandalously trending downward for many years, but the folks in the government should at least be able to count. We're finding more and more evidence that the statistics the government is releasing to the public are increasingly suspect and unreliable. It ...

Hey Kamala, Where Are Your Spending Cuts?

In 1982 the federal budget deficit rose above $100 billion for the first time (those were the good old days!), and then-President Ronald Reagan agreed to an infamous budget deal with then-House Speaker Tip O'Neill. Democrats would agree to $3 of spending cuts for every $1 of tax increases. Reagan ...

John F. Kennedy

Goodbye, JFK Democrats

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s exit from the Democratic Party (or was he booted out?) is only the latest sign that there are no more JFK Democrats left in positions of power in the Democratic Party. President John F. Kennedy was a staunch anti-communist who fought against union and government corruption. ...

Natural Gas Is Now Cheaper Than Water

Among the great mythologies of recent years, one stands out above the rest, is that the world is in a "great energy transition." Actually, the world IS in a dramatic energy transition. But it isn't the one the Left wants it to be. Despite hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars thrown at wind and ...
