Monday: Hugh Hewitt Takes Over Salem Radio Network's National Morning Show

There is a single thought that unites the political parties of the left all over the world (from welfare state liberals to socialists and communists) and it is this: incentives dont matter. And since prices are the mechanism that coordinates incentives and clears markets, it follows that prices dont matter either.

What? You missed the headline? Instead, you probably read about the item-- but under a different headline last week-end.

In a recent interview, Donald Trump was asked about his polarizing tweets and retweets. He was also asked if he would be a reckless president sending such tweets as a reaction to disagreements with World leaders. In his response he asserted that many people get outraged and question his tweets as a result of jealousy.

The political prediction markets are becoming unusually volatile, reflecting the increasingly volatile race for the Republican presidential nomination. And they also are foreseeing real potential for a Republican wipe-out in November. And in particular, it appears that Donald Trump is no longer a clearly presumptive frontrunner for the Republican nomination.

Real World science, climate and weather events just dont support their manmade cataclysm narrative. The horrid consequences of anti-fossil fuel energy policies are increasingly in the news. And despite campaigns by the $1.5-trillion-per-year government-industry-activist-scientific Climate Crisis Consortium, Americans consistently rank global warming at the very bottom of their serious concerns.

Another week, another campus threatened by the dangerous slogan, Trump 2016.

Facts and stats have won Senator Cruz many victories at the Supreme Court but they dont connect with American voters. Yes, say that government over-regulation is killing jobs, and yes, pledge to repeal and replace Obamacare, but then put some meat on those dry bones. Talk about the young mom I know with two daughters who lost her health insurance just after her divorce at the same time she found out multiple blood clots would force the amputation of her leg. She was frantic, desperate; in need of real help, not the fraud that is Obamacare.

Harry Reid once famously said of Mitt Romney: "As we know, he has refused to release his tax returns. If a person coming before this body wanted to be a Cabinet officer, he couldn't be if he had the same refusal Mitt Romney does about tax returns. So the word is out that he has not paid any taxes for 10 years. Let him prove he has paid taxes, because he has not."

In 2012, US Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia was asked if he would time his retirement so that a conservative president could appoint his replacement. Scalia responded, I would not like to be replaced by someone who immediately sets about undoing everything that Ive tried to do for 25 years, 26 years.I shouldnt have to tell you that. Unless you think Im a fool.

Every election cycle Americans watch as candidates talk about how they will make things better, one demographic at a time. It can seem as though candidates try to be all things to all people. Democratic front runner Hillary Clinton going as far as to meet with extremist groupBlack Lives Matter (BLM) earlier this election cycle.

When I hear conservatives bashing Donald Trump, I sometimes wonder: Are these the same people who enthusiastically endorsed John McCain and Mitt Romney for president? Are these the same people who supported George W. Bush when he pushed Medicare D and a $150 billion stimulus package through Congress?
