So it begins. Day #1.  Trump is doing what his voters sent him to D.C. to do.  President Trump on Friday signed an executive order directing federal agencies to “ease the burden of ObamaCare.”   Trump signed the order in front of reporters at the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office, one of his first official acts […]

The Senate voted this evening to confirm retired Marine Gen. James Mattis to the post of defense by a 98-1 margin. Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.), who was nominated for attorney general, did not vote. The lone no vote came from Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), who said she was concerned about civilian control of the military.

The progressives are fighting back with some fascism of their own.  Of course, we know what left-fascism looks like… There were isolated examples of violence and property destruction at the Trump inauguration protests in Washington, D.C. on Friday—and one of the victims was alt-right leader Richard Spencer. Spencer, who can accurately be described as a white nationalist,

Ah, the tolerance, civility, and passivity of the progressives.  And to think that this is what they accused the Trump supporters of doing.  The President of the Washington State University College Republicans says he was assaulted by an anti-Trump protester in DC Thursday night. Fox News is reporting that 21 year old James Allsup was

This is a great commentary by historian Arthur Herman. It describes the current landscape and what the Obama years have done to America. Progressives: you brought this down upon our heads.  As America watches Donald Trump take the presidential oath on Friday, it’ll be worth taking a moment to think about what the future will

Typical Clinton timing: when no one is looking. Remember, illusion is the art of distraction. Via IBD: While everyone’s been gearing up for President Trump’s inauguration, the Clinton Foundation made a major announcement this week that went by with almost no notice: For all intents and purposes, it’s closing its doors. No backs left to

Facts are a stubborn thing.  Satellite measurements show the Earth has not experienced any significant warming since 1998  Computer models project warming that has not occurred 1998 and 2015-2016 were times of naturally occurring El Niños If 2016 was “the warmest” year, it was so by insignificant hundredths of a degree The margin of error is actually a

Scot Faulkner recounts the history of the rise of alternative media and how President Trump is fully utilizing new media outlets like Twitter to bypass the entrenched bastions of political correctness. President-Elect Donald Trump’s first news conference since the November election vividly displayed how he has turned the media world upside down. His unprecedented campaign and

Pledges to eliminate Obama’s “burdensome” environmental regulations. Here’s how the White House website puts it: “For too long, we’ve been held back by burdensome regulations on our energy industry. President Trump is committed to eliminating harmful and unnecessary policies such as the Climate Action Plan and the Waters of the U.S. rule,” reads the brief

Few institutions have hurt minorities more than public schools. David Harsyani writes: There’s something perverse about an ideology that views the disposing of an unborn child in the third trimester of pregnancy as an indisputable right but the desire of parents to choose a school for their kids as zealotry. Watching President-elect Donald Trump’s pick

This will make the Hawks really happy.  Republicans got their wish today for a president that would utter the term “radical Islamic terrorism,” when Donald Trump promised to “unite the civilized world against radical Islamic terrorism, which we will eradicate from the face of the Earth.” The use of the term became on issue on

Lots to be concerned about from Trumps Inaugural address.  We’ve made other countries rich while the wealth, strength and confidence of our country has dissipated over the horizon. One by one, the factories shuttered and left our shores with not even a thought about the millions and millions of American workers that were left behind.

Thanks, Progressives. 

Detroit public charter schools out-performed traditional Detroit public schools in the last few years, and it’s not even close according to research conducted by the Mackinac Center for Public Policy’s Ben DeGrow, summarized in a blog post here: Detroit Charters Far Outperform Traditional Schools (see full reports here and here ).

From George Mason University economist Walter E. Williams, writing in his syndicated column this week “International Trade Thuggery“: All trade is fair in the eyes of the parties trading, or else they would not trade. It’s third parties who seek to interfere.

This is why Hillary lost. 

From Econ Prof. Bryan Caplan:  If you compelled me to articulate what I learned in 2016, here is the most I’ll admit.1. American voters are at the moment even more irrational than I thought they were in 2015.2. Republicans are at the moment even more nationalist than I thought they were in 2015.3. Democrats are
