There Is a Cancer Growing in America

There is a cancer growing in the United States. It is the cancer of ignorance and lack of leadership, and it is growing into a malignancy. Too many of us, both in and out of public service, cannot or will not recognize what is threatening our very existence and cannot decide elemental questions like: Is capitalism better than socialism?

Trumping hydrocarbon fuels and consumers

Donald Trump loves to tout his poll numbers. But if he's doing so well, why does he pander to Iowa's ethanol interests? The gambit might garner a few caucus votes among corn growers and ethanol producers. It certainly brings plaudits from renewable energy lobbyists and their political enablers. But it could (and should) cost him votes in many other quarters--beyond the Corn Ethanol Belt and even in Iowa.

MSNBC: All our sources say the Clinton email investigation is ‘far more advanced’ than you know

Maybe it's because they're all "feeling the Bern," but it looks like MSNBC's cadre of talking heads is finally willing to admit that the Hillary email scandal is a serious, legitimate issue.

UK’s Cameron wants ‘emergency brake’ on tax-funded income supplements for immigrants

How anyone could have thought this was a good policy, I cannot imagine. People migrate to your country from elsewhere and can't find a job that pays what they want or need, so the government says, hey, no problem, we'll supplement your income.

There’s Not a Dimes Worth of Difference!

We all know that Bernie Sanders is an avowed Socialist, but what about Hillary Clinton and Martin O,Malley? Both Hillary and Martin say they are “Progressives” thereby trying to sanitize what they really are, “Socialists”.

CNN Stages Town Hall to Boost Clinton Candidacy

Who ever heard of a presidential primary debate or town hall meeting opening with a kiss on the cheek between the moderator and the frontrunner? It’s safe to say that didn’t happen between Fox News’ Megyn Kelly and Republican frontrunner Donald Trump. And not just because he didn’t show up for Thursday night’s debate in Iowa.

On the Lam?

Just in case you feel a need for being on the lam, nature has a tip for you! Whether you're hiding out in the bush or mingling with the downtown crowd, you ought to wear the old-fashioned zebra-type striped garb. You know what I mean, the kind of garb that was common in certain government institutions, like in the picture nearby.

VIDEO: Reagan’s address to the nation on the Challenger tragedy

I don't want to say a lot about this. And I don't even want to make it about comparisons with other presidents - past, present or future.

FBI thwarts Islamic terror attack in Milwaukee - so why isn’t this bigger news?

First the good news: Earlier this week, the FBI foiled a would-be terrorist attack against a Masonic center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. As the Journal Sentinel reports:

Curtain Coming Down on America’s Iconic Cowboy

The tragedy of Tuesday’s Oregon Malheur refuge affair is that like most other Americans, the occupiers mistakenly assume they still have freedom of movement in today’s America. They didn’t and don’t. And now a dead cowboy, barely mentioned in the Fox/Trump mainstream media saturation coverage, is the tragic result.
