Idaho Governor C.L. “Butch” Otter and his insurance commission just did something that’s likely to give leftists palpitations.
They’re allowing a little more freedom for health insurance companies doing business in the state, and their move is not a moment too soon.
According to the Associates Press’ Rebecca Boone, who seems to be frustrated by the policy, Otter and his Insurance Director, Dean…
We’re all friends here, right?
Then I hope you won’t find me disagreeable when I note that on Monday, January 22, President Trump made a couple mistakes from which we can learn.
On Monday, the President signed an Executive Order increasing tariffs on imported washing machines and solar panels, all, of course, to the delight of many Americans who believe that certain foreign goods are being “…
Sometimes, as Americans concentrate time and energy on “Big Issues” like lowering the corporate tax rate, decreasing regulations, and trying to avoid the incessant torture of hashtag culture, other important issues slip under the political limbo bar. And on January 19, Reason Magazine’s Zach Weissmuller and Mark McDaniel turned the spotlight on one of them: the seeming metastasis of state and…
Political disputation often leads to vexation, if not anger. So it’s nice to find public figures or personal friends who offer some levity in the midst of the murk. And it's worth noting the loss of one such provider of light.
John Coleman, the first meteorologist on ABC’s “Good Morning America,” the founder of The Weather Channel and subsequent long-time weather reporter at his local San Diego…
Ahh, those exciting and hair-graying Congressional and Senate “Hearings." Anyone who’s attended them and responds to a query honestly will tell you they’re mostly show -- performance rituals created by politicians with legislative agendas in order to generate buzz via the lapdog media. The “hearings” are tightly controlled, calling on handpicked “witnesses” to say things the politicians intend…
Planned Parenthood of Maryland has exposed its own hypocrisy, on the eve of the annual March for Life in Washington, no less.
Because its members and fawning politicians cherish human life so much, the tax-subsidized organization Tweeted this photo and link… Really.
The link takes willing readers to the New York Times, and a heart-warming story by Denise Grady about how in-the-womb surgery…
Evidently, Arizona Senator Jeff Flake has decided to make as much absurdist noise as possible before he retires with the U.S. Constitution in tatters in his wake, and his life-long, taxpayer-paid pension in hand.
On the January 14 edition of ABC’s “This Week,” Flake claimed that Donald Trump’s calling out of the dinosaur media as “Fake News” was -- get this -- Stalinesque.
“You can talk about…
It's a new progressive fashion: a push for a “Universal Basic Income” (UBI) in America.
Like many leftist concepts, it sounds new, but the idea has actually been floating around the US since the 1960s. And, like a bad Christmas sweater, regardless of how old and dusty it is, the concept is being pulled out once more, and repackaged as “new” -- a re-gift that can save the world.
In fact, the…
Remember the old film cliché of the hero driving through a southern town and being pulled over by a corrupt cop who says, “Boah! You know what town this is? We don’t drive like that here!”
Subsequently, the cop demands a payoff, and the hero gets to continue on his heroic way. Sometimes.
The setting might be farther north, but drivers from outside Leonia, New Jersey who use city streets as…
Boston Mayor Marty Walsh appears to miss a lot of memos.
Last year, he held a press conference to claim that organizers of a Free Speech Rally to be held a few days later on the Boston Common hadn’t actually filed for a permit. In fact, they had, and he could have checked before calling the press to embarrass himself. He also said that he didn’t know who the organizers were, then, a few seconds…
