In the debate over bathroom access for transgendered persons, the best solution is not to expand government power, but limit municipal overreach.

The country needs policies that help it become more competitive, not less so. Lowering the tax burden, not raising it with a carbon tax, is the best way to achieve that goal.

If the president's goal is to increase U.S. manufacturing so that Americans are buying fewer foreign products and foreigners are buying more U.S.-made products, there is a right and wrong way to do it. And imposing import tariffs is the wrong way.

"FATCA violates our most-cherished principles of due process, presumption of innocence, personal privacy, and national sovereignty. It does not accomplish its stated objectives but does inflict untold collateral harm at great cost," the letter said.

But even though several countries are using DDT, at least in a restricted way, there remains heavy international pressure for them to not do so.”
