Say, Why Is Science So Darned Straight?

Things That Are Important at the Paper Of Record, as brought to us in the opinion section by Manil Suri Why Is Science So Straight? MANY years ago, over lunch at our university cafeteria, I came out as gay to a colleague in the engineering department. “I didn’t realize you were so unconventional,” he said. […]

Hillary Is Totally Sorry You’re “Confused” About Her Email Scandal

See, it’s not really about the potential violations of federal law, including the Espionage Act. It’s not about her potentially exposing classified and sensitive government information, much less improperly handing the same. It’s not about the potential for the information to be hacked. Nor about the server being insecure. Nor using the server being a […]

An arsenal of smoking guns in Clinton email scandal

Every time the State Department pulls out a new fistful of Hillary Clinton emails like Richard Dreyfuss yanking a license plate out of a shark’s belly in “Jaws,” someone declares that there’s “no smoking gun!” I’ve written before about how shouting “there’s no smoking gun!” is a non-denial denial. Ask a cop. When a murder […]

Donald Trump’s Appeal Is Based on Yesterday’s News

Aside from the court-ordered dribbling out of Hillary Clinton’s classified-material-filled emails, the big presidential campaign news of the summer has been the boom for Donald Trump in the race for the Republican nomination. Trump has risen from 3 percent in the polls (when he announced on June 16) to where he now stands at 26 […]

Surrender Democrats: More Drop Out of Labor Force

The thinking behind the Fed rate hike theory has said that this is the year that the Fed FINALLY raises interest rates because everyone who wants to work now has a job.  With the labor force getting tighter, economists reasoned, eventually inflation would follow. But when the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) released the August […]

Remember the Law Is Only Sacred When It Furthers a Liberal Value

Working for the government is not an inalienable right. So Kim Davis, a county clerk in Kentucky, was wrong to refuse same-sex couples marriage licenses in her office. If you’re unwilling to enforce the law, you shouldn’t be an officer of the state. After all, it’s not a clerk’s job to ascertain the constitutionality or […]

A World of Hypocrisy

The gathering storms of the world have paused momentarily, at least for me, as I stare in awe at the majestic beauty of the mountains of Montana; an amazing triumph of nature as far as the eye can see. Picturesque and astounding beyond what a camera lens can capture or an artist replicate. This moment […]

Meet QT; QE’s Evil Twin

There is a growing sense across the financial spectrum that the world is about to turn some type of economic page. Unfortunately no one in the mainstream is too sure what the last chapter was about, and fewer still have any clue as to what the next chapter will bring. There is some agreement however, […]

Meanwhile Obama asks us […]

Banning Cars Would Make Us Far Safer Than Banning Guns

What will they do to us next to make us safe, if they succeed in rendering us defenseless by taking away our guns? Maybe they ought to confiscate our cars. Chris Conover makes some comparisons: • There were 310 million guns in the U.S. in 2009 (a Congressional Research Service figure I have no reason […]

Former Hillary Staffer Who Set Up Her Email Server Took The 5th

The State Department employee Bryan Pagliano who worked on Hillary’s campaign was the subject of breaking news last night. He is pleading the Fifth regarding setting up Hillary’s private email server in 2009 and told congressional committees as much: This, of course, is Pagliano’s right — and he is correct that the Fifth Amendment protects […]
