The Paradox of School Prayer and the Tyranny of Silence
By Ronald Cherry, MD A paradox is a seeming truth that leads to a contradiction in defiance of truth. It seems to me that our Federal government has boxed its self into a paradox – actually a real contradiction – with its laws forbidding teacher-led, State-sanctioned school prayer. After studying our Constitution’s enumerated powers in […]
No Drilling, No Jobs, No Money
By Nicolas Loris The Obama Administration lifted the moratorium on new permits and drilling in the Gulf of Mexico, but the same problem persists as it has for over a year now. There’s not a whole lot going on down there. ODS-Petrodata Weekly Rig Count keeps tabs on rigs under contract and rigs without contracts […]
EPA’s CO2 Regulations are What’s “Comically Wrong”
By Nicolas Loris The Environmental Protection Agency called a Daily Caller report “comically wrong” this morning. That is an interesting analysis given that the EPA’s hideously bad global warming regulations are more of a joke than actual regulatory structure. Either way, the fun and games will soon end when Americans are paying higher energy prices […]
Why Can’t I Be Free To Speak?
By Andrew Bolt It’s time we put aside racial and ethnic divisions. As multicultural Australia strives for harmony, these distinctions merely reinforce existing barriers. I am the son of Dutch parents who came to Australia the year before I was born. For a long time, I have felt like an outsider here, not least because […]

Congress Should Scrap the Energy Loan and Loan Guarantee Programs
By Nicolas Loris Senator Harry Reid (D–NV) and his Senate colleagues rejected the idea of cutting $1.5 billion unspent from a $7.5 billion advanced vehicle manufacturing technology loan program and another $100 million from the Department of Energy’s (DOE) loan guarantee program—the same program that funded bankrupt Solyndra. The political squabbling did not cause the […]
Delaware’s Very Own Solyndra
By Paul Driessen and John Nicholls Delaware’s political establishment thinks First State electricity consumers should subsidize the manufacturing of super-sized fuel cells, under the auspices of California-based Bloom Energy, to replace natural gas and coal-fired power plants in generating electricity. The politicos want to build a factory in Newark, where rail service is available to […]

Planet Warms. People Thrive. Scare Is Stupid
By Andrew Bolt Rafe Champion, summarising Matt Ridley, sums ups the global warming scares: Sea level. The prediction is for about 1 foot per century of rise. Coastal flooding will increase slightly in some places but other places will gain more land from siltation then they lose by erosion. The Greenland icecap may retreat, if […]
Racism? Depends Who’s Talking About It
By Alan Caruba Recently I stopped by the home of a friend of some forty years to wish him happy birthday. He is a PhD with a long career in the field of human relations. And he is an African-American. As we sat together discussing our lives and current events, I was surprised to hear […]
Tales of the Red Tape #20: The Outer Limits of Regulation
By Diane Katz The Obama Administration has issued a record number of costly rules and regulations compared to its predecessors. But one set of new guidelines, in particular, takes government authority to new heights. The moon, actually. NASA has instituted “no-fly zones” and other limits on lunar liberty to ensure that future “space-faring entities” steer […]
The UN Of Terrorists And Their Apologists
By Andrew Bolt Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu bells the mangy cat, in the United Nations itself: Twenty-one out of the 27 General Assembly resolutions condemn Israel—the one true democracy in the Middle East. Well, this is an unfortunate part of the U.N. institution. It’s the—the theater of the absurd. It doesn’t only cast Israel […]
