Loss of Stored Carbon from Albertan Oil Sands Development is Irrelevant

The recent release of a study on the "Impact of the Keystone XL pipeline on global oil markets and greenhouse gas emissions" in the journal Nature Climate Change has refocused media attention on GHG emissions from Alberta's oil sands development. Pipeline proponents argue emissions will be very low; pipeline opponents contend emissions will be very high.

Hands Up, Don't Loot

The interior of the Ferguson Market and Liquor Store is littered with broken bottles and scattered snacks. Despite the plywood boards covering the windows and doors, looters with their faces covered in bandanas helped themselves to anything they could find as those who came to memorialize Michael Brown carried on his work.

Conservatives Shouldn’t Trust Stelzer on Carbon Tax

Irwin Stelzer has a PhD in economics from Cornell and decades of experience in academia, the financial world, and public policy. He is a frequent columnist in right-leaning outlets and was the editor of the 2004 The Neocon Reader. As such, readers may have taken Stelzer very seriously when he recently argued in The Weekly Standard that conservatives should support a carbon tax because it would (he claims) be good for economic growth. Yet as I’ll show, Stelzer’s article shows that he is unfamiliar with the technical literature in this area, and moreover, displays a shocking naïveté about how government grows.

MSNBC: 'Every major national poll' holds bad news for same old Hillary

Almost since Barack Obama took office, we've heard one constant mantra from the Democrats. Hillary Clinton will, "inevitably," be the next President of the United States. They were so sure that Hillary was on track to be the next "President Clinton" that they were openly mocking Republicans for suggesting that any substantive challenge could be mounted. Then, her time at the State Department was exposed as an unmitigated disaster. After she left office, she buried herself in terrible PR, gaffes, and unnecessary lies about being 'dead broke.'

GOP Rep. Ted Poe: groups like ISIS 'talking' to Mexican drug cartels - good thing that border is secure...

U.S. Representative Ted Poe (R-Texas) currently sits on the House Judiciary Committee on Crime, Terrorism and Homeland Security. He appeared today on NewsmaxTV, where he was asked about the situation with ISIS in the wake of the beheading of James Foley. He didn't mince words, referring to the terror group as "evil personified."

Uncorking Competition for Beer and Wine in Ontario

The lack of competition in Ontario’s system for alcoholic beverage retailing causes higher prices for consumers and foregone government revenue, according to a report from the C.D. Howe Institute. In “Uncorking a Strange Brew: The Need for More Competition in Ontario’s Alcoholic Beverage Retailing System,” authors Paul R. Masson and Anindya Sen call for a more competitive system in alcoholic beverage retailing in Ontario, which would result in increased government revenue, lower prices, and more convenience for consumers.

Turkey after the Presidential Election: A Difficult Challenge for Israel’s Foreign Policy

Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s victory in the first round of the presidential election (with 52 percent of the vote) signals the continuing dominance of the Justice and Development Party (AKP) in Turkish politics.

Turning America Into a War Zone, Where ‘We the People’ Are the Enemy

“If you don’t want to get shot, tased, pepper-sprayed, struck with a baton or thrown to the ground, just do what I tell you. Don’t argue with me, don’t call me names, don’t tell me that I can’t stop you, don’t say I’m a racist pig, don’t threaten that you’ll sue me and take away my badge. Don’t scream at me that you pay my salary, and don’t even think of aggressively walking towards me. Most field stops are complete in minutes. How difficult is it to cooperate for that long?”—Sunil Dutta, an officer with the Los Angeles Police Department for 17 years

Life in the American police state is an endless series of don’ts delivered at the end of a loaded gun: don’t talk back to police officers, don’t even think about defending yourself against a SWAT team raid (of which there are 80,000 every year), don’t run when a cop is nearby lest you be mistaken for a fleeing criminal, don’t carry a cane lest it be mistaken for a gun, don’t expect privacy in public, don’t let your kids walk to the playground alone, don’t engage in nonviolent protest near where a government official might pass, don’t try to grow vegetables in your front yard, don’t play music for tips in a metro station, don’t feed whales, and on and on.

Mike Ditka: Redskins name controversy just 'all the politically correct idiots in America'

Thought you'd enjoy this. As more of the American sports media buckles under activist pressure to banish the name and logo of the Washington Redskins from the face of the Earth, you have to hope that someone, somewhere, would have the cajones to stand up to them and call them out for what they are.

Trial by Media

I watched CNN for as long as I could tolerate it. A totally biased and skewed assemblage of liberal whites and disaffected blacks tossed words about in a Washington D.C. or New York studio concerning the events in Ferguson, Missouri. It was no more than I expected and far less than anybody deserves considering the lack of facts possessed by outsiders hundreds of miles away from the incident.

The flow of illegals continues on the border

Some reports are predicting a drought in Central America will cause widespread food shortages. It makes sense. I wonder if our government is considering the possibility of thousands more "refugees" escaping deplorable conditions or the countries simply sending more minor to us to care for?
