Last night I attended the Washington premier of the film Mine Your Own Business. Despite ridiculous protest from anti-growth Greenpeace, the film screening took place at The National Geographic Society. It is a must-see for those interested in learning about the harm that radical environmentalists do to poor communities when they block development projects.

As the skeptics continually point out, average Obama supporters know very little about the man they adore. But I’ve noticed that the more exposure he gets, the more people swoon [...]

Read James Burkee of The Los Angeles Times on “Anyone But a Bush or a Clinton.”
Here is his editorial.
But if she secures the Democratic nomination, wins and serves two terms, by 2017 the United States will have been governed by either a Bush or a Clinton for 28 years. That’s three decades governed not [...]

The following article was originally published by Oklahoma Council of Public Affairs

By David Deming, Ph.D. I recently read an editorial column in an Oklahoma newspaper alleging that Senator Inhofe is “not the leader we deserve” because he refuses to toe the party line on global warming. That’s funny. I [...]
