David Gregory: ‘Unprecedented’ That FBI Director 'Interjected’ Himself Into E-Mails
Liberal media talking heads are already on the attack against the the FBI over Hillary Clinton’s e-mail controversy. Former Meet the Press anchor David Gregory appeared on CNN, Friday, to deride the FBI Director for his “unprecedented” move to reexamine Hillary Clinton’s e-mail controversy.

Elizabeth Warren Has It Wrong on Voter Fraud
Last week, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., penned an op-ed for The Washington Post equating loose rhetoric by a political opponent with legitimate concerns expressed by many about inadequate safeguards in our electoral system. The op-ed is a classic sleight of hand, reducing a discussion about a topic as serious as election integrity to an ad hominem attack. For the senator, such antics are necessary because the facts simply do not bear out the progressive position. The simple fact is that election fraud often goes undetected.

Hillary Clinton: 'It's Not Easy' to Be First Lady of the United States

Earlier this week, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) held the Sixth Plenum of the 18th Central Committee in Beijing. The leadership, headed by General Secretary Xi Jinping, presided over the meeting of almost 350 Central Committee members and other senior party and government officials. The focus of the gathering was on party discipline—regime code for ensuring cadres shun malfeasance and comply with central diktats—but the biggest news to emerge from the conclave, held in a military-managed hotel, was the anointment of Xi Jinping as the “core” of the leadership, a description that previously had only been applied to former senior leaders Mao Zedong, Deng Xiaoping, and Jiang Zemin.

Saving Social Security Would Turn Us into Greece
If Hillary Clinton goes forward with her plan to bust the wage base cap and change Social Security from an actuarially bankrupt social insurance program into a conventional tax-and-spend redistribution program, she won’t collect very much tax revenue because of the way workers and employers will react. But from Hillary’s perspective, she won’t care. Based on what she’s been saying during the campaign, Hillary Clinton is a big fan of class warfare.

The Subsidy Solution Won't Save Obamacare
Skyrocketing premiums and insurer withdrawals have all the attributes of a death spiral, wherein the benefits of insurance do not exceed the costs for many prospective enrollees.  Without healthy people to cover the costs of insuring sick people, insurers must either raise premiums or exit the market altogether. Regulations prohibit insurance companies from pursuing other solutions, such as trimming unnecessary benefits or charging more to the most expensive groups to cover. The end result is a collapse of the marketplace.

Celebrate the Industrial Revolution and What Fueled It
Those readers who are familiar with Alex Epstein’s excellent The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels will recognize the gist of my argument: fossil fuels, which drive, among other things, modern agriculture and industrial production, make present-day abundance possible. Remove cheap energy and most aspects of modern life, from car manufacturing and cheap flights to microwaves and hospital incubators, become a luxury, rather than a mundane, everyday occurrence and expectation. Yet the Industrial Revolution has become tainted (in the popular imagination) with the very problems that it has helped to cure.

Dollar and Yuan Cash In on the Global Money-Printing Trend
There is little doubt that the rapid expansion of both dollar-denominated debt and monetary quantities since the financial crisis will lead us into a currency crisis. We just don’t know when, and the dollar is not alone. All the major paper currencies have been massively inflated in recent years. With the dollar acting as the world’s reserve currency, where the dollar goes, so do all the other fiat monies.
