I subscribe to the ecclesiastical wisdom that "there is nothing new under the sun", which is a different way of saying that whenever someone says that all of a sudden something is totally different than it has ever been before, it probably isn't. It...
One of my life mentors and good friends, Larry Kudlow, invited my wife and I to join him and a small group of folks here in New York City last evening for a small roundtable with Gov. Rick Perry. Larry along with pro-growth...
The Wall Street Journal editorial page ran a compelling piece yesterday entitled Romney Recycled in which it laid out all the reasons a third Romney campaign may not be a very good idea. It was not stating that Romney would be a bad President;...
