The last several weeks and months Democrats have demonstrated for all to see what a radical party they’ve become. The left wants 70 percent tax rates, an end to the First and Second Amendment rights, massive new government spending, an end to fossil fuel production, a government takeover of the healthcare system, an end to […]
For those on the left and right who were certain that Donald Trump’s presidency meant the end of global free trade… think again. Though Trump’s critics have dismissed the significance of the new Mexico and Canada trade deal (USMCA), it’s hard to deny it’s a welcome advance for the economy of the entire continent. The […]
From the first day Donald Trump started running for president he has raged against America’s large and persistent trade deficit. His tariff policies are designed to try to reduce these trade imbalances — it is the metric he uses to gauge whether other nations are playing by the rules of our trade deals. As a […]
Republicans are right to call for tough measures to deter illegal immigration — which means building the wall, ending the “catch and release” policy, and challenging the harboring strategy of sanctuary cities. But where Republicans are wrong is in calling for strict caps and even reductions in legal immigration visas. Rather than restricting the so-called […]
In the wake of the GOP’s botched Obamacare repeal effort in the Senate, exuberant Democrats and the media started clamoring for a “bipartisan” approach to health care reform. Exactly what kind of “deal” do they have in mind? On Sunday House minority leader Nancy Pelosi was asked by Chris Wallace of Fox News what […]

If you answered natural gas, you were wrong by a tiny amount. According to the Energy Information Administration, which tracks energy use in production on […]
It’s no grand revelation that Republicans have bungled the Obamacare repeal bill beyond belief. Senator Mitch McConnell wants a Senate vote on full repeal of Obamacare with two years to come up with a replacement. This would be the ideal solution, but it appears he lacks the necessary 50 votes for passage. In that event, […]
This will be the first father’s day that I won’t be able to talk to my dad by phone or in person. He died at the ripe old age of 94 back in February. I wish you could have known him. At a celebration of his 75th birthday party, I said that the three men […]
I’m technically disabled — but not mentally disabled the way some of my foes on CNN seem to believe. No, my disability is hearing loss (in one ear I’m nearly deaf). I have to turn the TV up so loud the neighbors say they can hear it in the house next door. My friends complain that […]
I was honored to work in the Office of Management and Budget under President Ronald Reagan. I’ve been waiting for 30 years to say this, but finally we have a federal budget proposal that would make the Gipper proud. This is the best budget since Reagan undoubtedly. One way to know that’s true is to […]
