Nipping a legal problem in the bud

One of my recent articles predicted that the Fish & Wildlife Service's endangered species designation for the rusty patched bumblebee would lead to its being used to delay or block construction projects and pesticide use on hundreds of millions of acres of US farmland. The abuses have already begun.

Larry Kudlow: Trump deregulation and tax cuts should give us a minimum of 3.5 percent growth

Larry Kudlow was an economist in the Reagan Administration, so he’s seen a thing or two about how tax cuts and deregulation can spur economic growth.

Europe Living The Time Machine

Like in the H.G. Wells classic, The Time Machine, Europe is living the fictional nightmare of being led to the slaughter, unable or unwilling to grasp the gravity of their predicament. They have opened their borders to millions of immigrants with a vastly different culture and belief system.

Flaws in liberal “logic” regarding the budget

One unremarkable guest (didn't get his name, in any case) appearing on the Intelligence Report on FBN emphatically asked how poor people are served if the budget is cut that goes to the very people who provide the services?

Intellectuals are a fairly modern invention for our society

One study I read labeled the prophets in the Old Testament one type of intellectual. I disagree, since they operated as revelators to a nation which had rejected the laws of God and rejected His precepts.

Anti-Ageing Herbs

Researchers at the Salk Institute in La Jolla, California, announced late last year that four genes that reprogram adult cells into embryonic-like stem cells can also reverse some signs of ageing [Cell: 167, 1719-1733 (2016)]. It was merely the latest in a long line of investigation into longevity.

The Philosophic Roots of the Paris Agreement: Deep Ecology vs. Human Progress

In his essay "The Church of Environmentalism," Jeremy Carl told the story of Julian Simon participating at an environmental forum.

Open Letter to President Trump

With all due respect for the person of Pope Francis and the Petrine Office he holds, we urge you not to read the encyclical letter Laudato Si given to you by the pope during your recent Vatican visit, as it is a masterpiece of New Age deception which advocates a borderless one-world government under the governance of a "world political authority." Its whole point is to place man in touch with his environment. It builds its bridges to the planet, not to Almighty God, and as such, cannot be instrumental in advancing world peace.

Toyota Prius C a cheap and cute way to save gas

It's pretty Spartan, all things considered, and it's about as much fun to drive as a hobby horse, but Toyota's 2017 Prius C hybrid hatchback is still a decent little car that does a lot with a little. And, at a starting list price of $21,975, it doesn't cost a huge amount of cash to save the Earth.

Fist Fight offers good audio and video - but that doesn’t help

If you like your comedy movie foul mouthed, mean spirited and populated with sexual predators, Fist Fight is for you. But if it's representative of today's comedy films, I weep for popular culture and the society it supposedly reflects.

Another ‘revenue neutral’ carbon tax that’s anything but

Did you really believe them when they said it would be revenue neutral?

Obamacare repeal will be hard and McConnell just made it harder

Sigh. Just when I'm about to give Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) the benefit of the doubt, he opens his mouth. On Wednesday, McConnell threw cold water on Obamacare repeal by saying that he didn't see how the Senate was going to do it.

Bloody Hands in Manchester

In the months before weeping little girls with nails in their faces were carried out of the Manchester Arena, the authorities of that city were hard at work fighting the dreaded threat of Islamophobia.

Anti-Democratic Body Slam May Save Democracy in USA

Body slamming a reporter is a reprehensible anti-democratic act, even if in reaction to a reprehensible provocation, but it may save democracy in the United States if it finally motivates “liberals” to slam and eliminate – or at least cut back – early voting.

Mark Zuckerberg: Government should give everyone a guaranteed minimum income without work

He is not the first to tout this idea. In fact, it's been a favorite of Bernie Bro types for a while now. But it's one thing when some lefty chucklehead on Facebook is pushing the idea of a universal, guaranteed minimum income for everyone - provided by the government with no work requirement whatsoever. It's another thing when one of the richest and most influential people in the world signs on.

Progressives and Jihadists: A Multicultural Matrimony of Cultural Genocide Wedded in Blood

Assimilation is a crime against humanity...There is no moderate or immoderate Islam. Islam is Islam, and that’s it...The mosques are our barracks, the minarets our bayonets, the cupolas our helmets, and the faithful our soldiers. -- Tyyip Erdogan, President of Turkey, 2008

The progressive altar of multiculturalism and diversity was bloodied yet again with the lives of the innocent. Many young girls, one as young as eight, were savagely murdered by a 22-year-old Islamic suicide-bombing loser who detonated a bomb full of nails, bolts and other shrapnel. Twenty-two innocent people murdered, families obliterated, dozens maimed and scarred for life by, yet again, another Muslim male.

Ariana Grande and Salman Abedi – Both Deeply Deceived

It goes without saying that the loss of the young lives in Manchester England is a tragedy of the highest order. Even though they were chasing a pop-culture pipe dream they were subject to the kind of treatment that no one should ever have to endure.

Obamacare’s replacement allows women to customize their care at lower costs

DENVER — Women make the majority of decisions about care and insurance for our families, and we generally consume more healthcare than men. As a result, women have a lot at stake when it comes to the laws that govern American health care and insurance.

Dr Carson Compassionately Spoke the Truth About Black Poverty

Dr Ben Carson being under fire for saying "poverty is a state of mind" during an interview is a prime reason why black Americans should end their insane loyalty to Democrats.

Scarborough: You know who’s to blame for that candidate punching that reporter? Donald Trump

I wonder how much longer Scarborough can keep up the I'm-a-Republican-but-this-all-troubles-me-so-much schtick. Scarborough is first and foremost a creature of the Beltway culture. His party affiliation is hardly worth a footnote given that his job is to cater to mindset of the political class.
