Opponents make compelling case but can’t derail or even slow this well-protected industry Like most people I’ve spoken with, I have no innate, inflexible antipathy to ethanol in gasoline. What upsets me are the deceptive claims used to justify adding mostly corn-based ethanol to this indispensable fuel; the way seriously harmful unintended consequences are brushed […]
Earth Day Network’s misguided anti-plastic campaign is a sign of more nonsense to come Earth Day Network (EDN) chose “End Plastic Pollution” as their theme for this year’s April 22 Earth Day. It is just the tip of the anti-plastic activism that now consumes environmental extremists. A Google search on “Plastic Pollution Coalition” (a group claiming […]
What’s better for welfare recipients and low-skilled workers: a higher minimum wage, or a larger Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC)? David Neumark, director of the Economic Self-Sufficiency Policy Research Institute at the University of California, Irvine, explains in a recent op-ed in the Wall Street Journal why the EITC benefits low-income single parents more over […]
As I write this on a beautiful Spring day in Portland, I have to wonder why anyone would want to change it. Is it a little too warm or too cold? Are we so arrogant as to think that we can change the weather, the seasons, or the climate? Yet we are spending more than […]

In 1933 he and other Nazi Party leaders enacted anti-vivisection laws to […]
Is this the Beginning of the End – or at least the End of the Beginning? On November 10, 1942, after British and Commonwealth forces defeated the Germans and Italians at the Second Battle of El Alamein, Winston Churchill told the British Parliament, “Now this is not the end.

You are envious, and cannot obtain: so you fight and quarrel.” James 4:1-4 I believe that Envy is the apex of Man’s sinfulness. […]
Bob Mueller has threatened President Trump and his legal team with a subpoena if he will not voluntarily submit to an interview.
