The Wall Street Journal published this story today: In 2006, after 25 years and 50 million preventable deaths, the World Health Organization reversed course and endorsed widespread use of the insecticide DDT to combat malaria. So much for that. Earlier this month, the U.N. agency quietly reverted to promoting less effective methods for attacking the [...]

The headline reads, Obama’s new rules will transform US auto fleet. One question–what US auto fleet? There is no US auto fleet, unless all vehicles in the US are owned by the government. With these new developments, that may not be far off. The Obama Administration imposed new rules for the automotive industry today, set [...]

Remember cartoons? Please watch this one, America. Those were the days…

Tonight’s Presidential Press Conference has been followed by some pretty good fact checking of his claims by writers from the AP (color me surprised). A few things stand out, though.

This is a political cartoon from the Chicago Tribune, April 21, 1934. We are apparently pursuing the same, stupid policies that the Progressives did during the Great Depression. Is there anyone out there who believes it will end up differently?

We could have told them so—that is, if they would ever listen.

Of course we also already know he can’t do that, [...]

The House today overwhelmingly passed a bill that establishes a new commission to study the feasibility of a “mandatory service requirement for all able young people.” This is seen by some, including myself, as part of Obama’s campaign pledge to create a “civilian national security force” that would rival the military. Watch this video. The [...]

Steve Milloy’s Green Hell Blog reports today that John Kerry is not satisfied with draconian measures that aim to reduce CO2 emissions to 450 PPM. Kerry suggests that we need to return to an emissions ceiling of 350 PPM to have any appreciable effect on the climate. Kerry understands that current regulations that require reductions [...]

I’m an asthma sufferer. I’ve had it since birth. It flares up when I get around specific allergens, like dander from horses, cats, and certain breeds of dogs. It also flares up in the cold, or when I run. My case isn’t life-threatening, but it isn’t fun either. For example, I cannot go visit my [...]
