Everyone knew a September Surprise was coming. Supreme Court appointments are a big deal. The Republicans are determined to get an “originalist” justice, one who honors the Constitution as written by the Founding Fathers, subject to amendments duly adopted.
Many problems exist because the activity is mispriced and/or the key decision makers lack the proper incentives. Argentina is going through another financial crisis which occurs almost like clockwork every few years.
As I’ve noted in a couple of recent columns, Americans from all walks of life have reason to be grateful for last year’s tax cuts. They’ve proved to be quite a boon.
House Speaker Paul D. Ryan cheered the passage of a package of three spending bills as “the revitalization of our appropriations process.” The Wisconsin Republican also opined: “Funding the government is one of Congress’ most basic responsibilities, and this conference report is a strong first act.”
President Trump, it has been reported in all seriousness, is a hateful, racist conspiracy theorist hellbent on ridiculing the deaths of some 3,000 Puerto Ricans reportedly killed by the double hurricanes that blasted the island territory last year.
The most powerful evidence that federal judges have eclipsed the other branches of government is the circus surrounding President Trump’s nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court. This should not be as big a deal as it is.
Ever since Russia invaded Georgia a decade ago, the world has known the Kremlin will use its military to expand its influence.
Recent headlines prove once again a simple fact that is as obvious as the sunrise: Contrary to popular belief, and flying in the face of multiple denials, liberals and progressives alike actually do believe in God. In fact, those on the cultural left such as the ladies on “The View,” or the talking heads on MSNBC, prove their “biblical faith” as persistently and aggressively as anyone, and they do so every day.
Liberals love to talk about helping the poor and the middle class and they are obsessed with reducing income inequality. So why is it that across the country they are pushing one of the most regressive taxes in modern times?
The Democrats may think they're about to sink their shark teeth deep into Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh, via an out-of-left-field sexual assault allegation from a woman, Christine Blasey Ford, touting a decades-old high school party story. But here's a "hey you guys" moment from none other than the woman who accused Keith Ellison of -- get this -- domestic abuse. And who has supporting statements and medical records to prove it.
Look at what's going on with Judge Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation proceedings for the Supreme Court, and the fingerprints of George Soros are all over it.
Republican pollsters predict difficult midterm election problems for Republican candidates — because, they say, although people like President Trump's economy, they don't like Mr. Trump.
Defiance and dirty dealing from an enemy is expected, collusion with an enemy to reinforce its effrontery is not. Thanks to John Kerry, President Trump will face an extra formidable Iran when patience meets effrontery next week at the United Nations. The former U.S. secretary of State is conducting shadow diplomacy designed to foil the president's aims in dialing back Iran's nuclear ambitions. Mr. Kerry had his chance to quell the Islamic republic's threats, and blew it. He only delayed dealing effectively with them. His continued attempts in overtime only weaken America.
Stephen Moore paints a grim picture of the costs to the poor and middle class of wind and solar energy ("How solar and wind mandates tax the poor and middle class," Web, Sept. 16). But the hidden cost multipliers for solar and wind (so-called "renewables") are many, many times worse than what he describes.
The year 2017 marked the centenary of the Balfour Declaration, one of the most famous -- and to its opponents, most infamous -- promises ever issued by a colonial power to a people seeking to reclaim its nationhood in its ancient land, in this case, the Jewish people's historical connection to the land of Israel.
Play football and enter halftime with your team trailing, 28-6? Uh, no, that is NOT the time to announce you're done.
Eric Holder came forward at a recent Human Rights Campaign dinner to say, shock of all shocks, President Donald Trump is a fear-mongering disaster who's busily selling so-called patriotic lines to like-minded bigots as part of a desperate political ploy to keep ahold of his White House power. Yawn. This is Holder's whole schtick
Democrats have scored a big one with their latest on Brett Kavanaugh, going all the way back to high school to give voice to a female who's weighing in, mid-#MeToo movement time, no less, with some scathing accusations that the Supreme Court nominee, in his teen years, once pinned her to a bed at a party.
Why oh why do we fall for the fake-out every single time? We're like Charlie Brown, believing we'll finally enjoy a chance to kick the football, only to fall flat on our back as Lucy pulls it away.
