Jerry Brown, Climate Change Prophet Of Doom
by Steven Greenhut. Moonbeam rising. On governance and budget matters, Gov. Jerry Brown (D-Calif.) has earned a reputation for being reasonable and moderate (by California standards).
Even many Republicans describe him as the "last adult" in the Capitol,
given his refusal to embrace far-reaching programs. Yet when it comes to
global warming, ... MORE

The Pope Should Conceal His Economic Ignorance
by Pat Buchanan. Leave the socialist rants to Bernie Sanders. Arriving in La Paz, Pope Francis was presented by Bolivian President Evo Morales with a wooden crucifix carved in the form of a hammer and sickle, the symbol of Lenin, Stalin, Mao and Fidel.

Richard Berman: Manufacturing A Food Scare
Marketing to the uninformed. The wisdom of crowds is a concept that has remarkable predictability. Often, the dispersed knowledge of millions of people making informed decisions is more reliable than the informed bias of policy activists.

bacteria, polling shows the public ... MORE

Why Do Media Still Take FBI Terror Warnings Seriously?

There’s No Evidence Of A ‘New Nationwide Crime Wave’
by Radley Balko. Last week in the Wall Street Journal,
Heather Mac Donald of the Manhattan Institute posited that we are in
the throes of a “new nationwide crime wave.” She blamed the chorus of
police reform advocates and critics of police brutality since the
Ferguson protest last summer. She claimed the criticism and efforts to
hold police ... MORE
John Stossel: Green Lies
Propaganda piece "Blackfish" is full of lies. Millions go to SeaWorld to learn more about sea life and get closer to killer whales. But fewer go now because the documentary "Blackfish" exposed what one reporter called "the darker side" of SeaWorld. The movie, which CNN bought and ran over and over, tells how greedy businessmen take ... MORE

to be known as Obamacare. Much of the speech was devoted to explaining
and justifying the law’s major components. Subsidies, he argued, ... MORE

Voting for Hillary because she's a woman. "I intend to vote with my vagina." Have you ever read a more squirm-inducing sentence than that? It appeared in a pro-Hillary piece in Dame magazine, written by a person with a vagina who intends to vote for Clinton because she also has a vagina. Let's leave aside the unfortunate image conjured up by ... MORE
