Polls decisively show that Americans say they are not better off now than they were four years ago. The same, however, cannot be said for Chinese citizens. A recent poll by the Pew Research Center finds that 70% of Chinese
No, the answer isn’t “just show up.” Biden is a master of malarkey, turning clear defeats into victories, fiction into fact. In 2008, Gov. Sarah Palin completely outclassed her more seasoned opponent. And yet the post-debate commentary–often more important than

In an iconic scene from Austin Powers, a newly-defrosted Dr. Evil demands that the world pay him a ransom of “One… Million… Dollars“–briefly forgetting that that the U.S. dollar doesn’t quite go as far in the 1990s as it did
WASHINGTON, Aug. 8 (UPI) —Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said the U.S. central bank is never swayed by political pressures and declared Europe needed its own version of the Fed. The Fed was created 99 years ago from a plan
Last Wednesday I had the chance to attend the L.A. screening of DineshD’Souza’s new film “2016: Obama’s America.” The film is essentially avisual treatment of D’Souza’s book “The Roots of Obama’s Rage.” Both the film and the book advance the

Wednesday afternoon, the president of Estonia, Toomas Hendrik Ilves, contemptuously fired back at Paul Krugman, the New York Times leftist columnist who hilariously fancies himself an expert on financial matters. Krugman’s column, which came out earlier in the day, started the
Poor Paul Krugman. He’s got a habit he can’t break. He blames Republicans every time something goes wrong. It started when Bush won Florida and never really stopped. Like most habits, it’s insidiously rewarding. It even won him a Nobel
Liberal economist and Obama apologist Paul Krugman appeared on ABC’s “This Week”
