Feds Playing Politics With Drilling?
After being rebuked by federal courts, President Obama’s secretary of the interior, former U.S. Sen. Ken Salazar (D-CO), announced that the ban on offshore drilling would be lifted. Not so, in a practical sense, says Elizabeth Ames Jones, a commissioner on the energy regulating Texas Railroad Commission.
Obama “Economic Stimulus” Isn’t Working
The Financial Times recently reported these dismal figures for private sector hiring: “Since the stimulus began, about 400,000 public sector jobs have been added (through May 2010) while 2.7 million private sector jobs were lost.” The National Federation of Independent Business has a study showing that small businesses in the United States lost jobs in twelve of the last fourteen months.

Considering that small businesses are responsible for the creation of a majority of new private sector jobs, this is particularly worrisome.

However, it looks like President Obama’s influential supporters may think they’ve found a fix for this inconvenient problem.

Tomorrow morning, the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), and the minority leader of the U.S. Senate, Sen.

Tearing Down The Wall
It was 23 years ago this weekend, on June 12, 1987, that Ronald Reagan stood at the Brandenburg Gate, in West Berlin, and uttered perhaps the most important challenge of the 20th Century. “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall! … Yes, across Europe, this wall will fall.
