A. Barton Hinkle: Coming Out of the Drug War Haze?
Cautious optimism may be appropriate. President Obama's recent speech
on the opioid overdose epidemic offers a ray of hope that the country's
approach to drugs might one day adopt what has been called the first
rule of American business: When all else fails, try doing it right. Noting with considerable understatement that "treatment is ... MOREEPA Dodges Accountability For Flint Water Crisis
by Paul Dykewicz. Government failures at
the federal, state and local levels that led to toxic water flowing
from the faucets in Flint, Michigan, spurred the House Oversight
Committee to hold two hearings this week in which the head of the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and its former Midwest region
administrator claimed agency officials ... MOREThere's No Way In Which The War On Drugs Isn't A Failure
by Hamilton Nolan. It has been clear for many years that America’s “War on Drugs” is a failure from a moral perspective. For you hard-headed realists, it is worth remembering that it is a failure from an economic perspective, as well. The very simple version of this fact, which you may have already intuited, is: We have spent more than a trillion ... MORE
Thomas Sowell: The Lure Of Socialism
All that glitters is not gold. Many people of mature years are amazed at how many young people have voted for Senator Bernie Sanders, and are enthusiastic about the socialism he preaches. Many of those older people have lived long enough to have seen socialism fail, time and again, in countries around the world. Venezuela, with all its rich oil ... MOREMovie Review: 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers Of Benghazi
by Kurt Loder. Haters of Hillary Clinton may be disappointed to find that there’s no
mention of the former secretary of state in Michael Bay’s new movie
about the 2012 Benghazi attack that left U.S. Libyan ambassador Chris
Stevens dead and ignited a Congressional uproar that continues to this
very moment. But Clinton’s State Department ... MOREStephanie Slade: Why Polls Don't Work
Election predicting hits an accuracy crisis. On October 7, 2015, the most famous brand in public opinion polling announced it was getting out of the horse-race survey business. Henceforth, Gallup would no longer poll Americans on whom they would vote for if the next election were held today. "We believe to put our time and money and brain-power ... MOREA Dispiriting Final Speech From An Out Of Touch President
A Washington Examiner editorial. What makes for a credible public voice? A key ingredient is truth. The crucial difference between Winston Churchill and Baghdad Bob was not their nations' respective fortunes in war. It was that Churchill was open with the British public about the difficulties his nation faced. He could have tried ... MOREDemocrats Turn On The REAL Enemy: Each Other
by J.D. Tuccille. Even before the Democratic
Party's...drubbing
(that seems to be the favored term this time around) in yesterday's
elections, the White House was already blaming its supposed allies
for the defeats that were (correctly) anticipated once voters
trooped to the polls. "Ultimately, you know, it's the quality of these candidates ... MORETammy Bruce: How Democrats Broke The Spirit Of America
Jobs, ISIS, Ebola and Obamacare. These four words explain why Democrats have lost the confidence of the American people: jobs, ISIS, Ebola and Obamacare. While seemingly disparate, they all have one very important thing in common: They exist or have been made worse because of liberal Democratic policies and general incompetence, and ... MOREEdward Morrissey: Americans Are Giving Up on Obama
Relentless incompetence too glaring to ignore. Over the last several months, the American public has had a hard and clear look at the executive talent inside the White House, and has begun to despair for real leadership and competence. When leadership fails, people stop following. It appears in the sixth year of the Barack Obama ... MORE
