Palin: "Cannibals in GOP Establishment" Are Using Leftist Playbook

Bill O'Reilly: Newt, the Media and Momentum

If Newt Gingrich is elected president of the United States this year, he will owe it all to John King and to his former wife, Marianne.

Larry Kudlow: Obama's Low-Ball Vision

There is a growing consensus around the country for full-fledged reform of the personal and corporate tax codes.

John Ransom: Economists Finally Get One Thing Right for 2011: Obama a Failure

If Obama made as many easy economic decisions as he has had vacations this year, we’d be seeing decent economic growth. In fact, if we could get Obama to take more vacations and not make ANY decisions, it’s likely real unemployment-U6- wouldn’t be at 16 percent and climbing.

Charles Payne: Pax Americana

Earlier this week, I began an interview on Fox Business by asking the guest if the market had entered into some kind of Pax Romana period.

Ken Blackwell: A Missed Opportunity

The official Republican response to the President’s State of the Union Address was fine—as far as it went. But Gov. Mitch Daniels missed a golden opportunity to put before the American people a better vision of family, faith, and freedom.

Daniel J. Mitchell: Since Obama’s Class-Warfare Tax Policy Is Failing in Illinois, Why Does He Think It Will Work for the Entire Country?

close your eyes and envision a different map. Instead of American states, imagine a map of the world. And think what it will look like if Obama succeeds in imposing all the tax increases he has endorsed.

John C. Goodman: Obama's Promises

I didn’t vote for Barack Obama. But like a lot of Americans, I was hopeful about his presidency.

Crista Huff: A Big Dividend is a Good Thing to Waste

It's a large-cap stock with a current yield over 4%, and possibly a good addition to a growth & income stock portfolio.

Mike Shedlock: GDP on Recession Track

In contrast to popular belief, recessions typically start with GDP in positive territory.

Jerry Bowyer: On Risk, Follow the Iron Lady

"what we have done, and what we have left undone, in thought, word, and deed" on a national level determines as much as anything else our margin of safety.

Jeff Carter: Where Do I Put My Cash?

The same as a corporation, once you pay your bills you need to figure out where to put any excess cash that you have.

Townhall.com Staff: Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, and Déjà Vu

Is this a rerun? Why does the Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich political drama feel so eerily familiar? Alas, this schismatic plot has been acted out before on the stage of GOP presidential politics; except the original cast weren’t named Mitt and Newt—they were named Nelson and Barry.

Political Calculations: How Good Are Earnings Forecasts?

Well, if you go by our chart below, which we constructed by sampling data we obtained from S&P roughly one-year apart (at the dates indicated) and mostly looking one-year-ahead in time, the answer is: not good at all!

Frank Gaffney: American Laws for American Courts

Shortly before Newt Gingrich's decisive victory in South Carolina last week, he was asked a critical question by a Palmetto State voter: Would he support a Muslim candidate for president?

Sandy Rios: Pat Buchanan & the MSNBC Gulag

Pat Buchanan did something dreadful. He said politically incorrect things…incendiary, in fact and faces punishment in a New America where free speech is now applied more to rights to pornography and protections for curse words than to actual ideas.

Bob Goldman: Depressing, Ain't It?

You know what's really depressing? The fact that your job is really depressing.

David Sterman: The Best Way to Invest in Biotech Stocks

Sadly, for every biotech stock that takes off sharply, another half-dozen plunge to new lows because of nature of these cash-constrained business models.

Steven Aden: What Economic Downturn? The Death Business is Booming

As the U.S. economy continues to shudder, Americans find themselves in a tight spot. 2011 was the worst year on record for home sales, unemployment claims rose markedly in the 4th quarter, and the high energy prices we have endured are set to worsen with gasoline expected to top $4 a gallon this summer. Nevertheless, money continues to come easy for those on the government dole.

Bill Tatro: Inflation or Delfation? But Wait...

When such illustrious proponents of hyperinflation such as Marc Faber, Peter Schiff, and even the venerable Warren Buffett seize the microphone and take such a convincing position, it is very difficult for a deflationist such as myself to compete and put forth my point of view.

Lincoln Brown: Obama Has No Credibility on Energy

The extraction industry has accounted for the bulk of the economy in my neck of the woods and we’ve had a tough time making a go off it here since the results of the 2008 Presidential Election.

Ralph Benko: The Newt Gingrich Swing: For the Fences

One of Newt Gingrich’s rivals just before the South Carolina primary criticized him for his claim of having created millions of jobs, saying “Congressmen taking responsibility or taking credit for helping create jobs is like Al Gore taking credit for the Internet.” This charge of self-aggrandizement didn’t stick to Gingrich (many of whose stands have engaged this columnist’s personal enthusiasm and support). Instead Gingrich stunned the pundits by a double-digit spread victory, close to a 30 point swing from January 9.

Steve Deace: Mitt Romney: Trail Blazer

You’ve got to hand it to Mitt Romney (and his acolytes). At the very least he’s a Republican trailblazer.

David Malpass: GDP Weaker Than Expected

While fourth quarter GDP growth was a bit weaker than expected, a trend that will probably extend into first quarter data, we think the groundwork is in place for a gradual acceleration of the U.S. and global economies in 2012.

Tad DeHaven: Baloney Budget Reform

I don’t recall ever agreeing with the left-liberal Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP), but their new paper on the drawbacks of the federal government switching to biennial budgeting is a good read.

Michelle Malkin: Mr. and Mrs. Cranky Pants

So, it turns out that the cool cat billed as "No Drama Obama" by his sycophants is actually quite the drama queen. While the White House publicly pretends to ignore conservative detractors of his administration, Chief Touchy-Touchy seems to be personally consumed by our critiques. Yes, mine included.
