What the Democrats should have learned from their losses last Tuesday is that the advice given by political strategist James Carville to candidate Bill Clinton in the 1992 presidential campaign is still valid — “It’s the economy, stupid.” More specifically,…
The sky-is-falling greenies are getting progressively batty. It’s not enough that we shut down our oil, gas and coal industries, bike to work, switch our light bulbs, take cloth bags to the supermarket, smash our clunkers, take low-water showers, and…
I saw two stories last week that had diametrically opposed messages. The first was pro-life in the broadest sense of the word, a breakthrough against cancer via a new tumor-targeted genetic medicine, Rexin-G, that produced clinical remissions in late-stage cases…

You can’t grasp the full craziness of Van Jones, Obama’s now-resigned “green jobs czar” (actual job title: “Special Advisor on Green Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation for the White House Council on Environmental Quality”), unless you watch his speeches on YouTube….
