A funny thing happened to Mitt Romney on the way to his coronation as the inevitable Republican candidate for President of the United States. Minnesota, Michigan and Colorado happened.

Larry Elder: Aren't Republicans Supposed to Be Colorblind?

Oh, for crying out loud! Ethnic-based Cabinet appointees? Do we still need to go out and "seek" people of a certain color or religion to show "fairness and inclusion"? What about considering the best people possible -- isn't that the only appropriate answer to that question?

Michael Barone: GOP Must Convince Young People It's the Party of Options

The Republican presidential candidates, except for Ron Paul, haven't been paying much attention to young voters in the primaries and caucuses so far.

Judge Andrew Napolitano: Do Catholics Have Too Many Babies?

When we were colonists and fought a war against the king and Parliament so that we could secede from the British Empire and be independent of it, we also fought for the value of personal freedom. That is the idea that in matters of personal choice, the government should play no role. The king only cared about the colonists' personal choices if he could control or tax them.

Daniel J. Mitchell: Acting as the Typhoid Mary of the Global Economy, the OECD Urges Higher Taxes

Please forgive all these questions. I’m trying to figure out why any organization – even a leftist bureaucracy such as the OECD – would send out a press release entitled, “Rising tax revenues: a key to economic development in Latin American countries.”

Political Calculations: Has Order Resumed in the Stock Market?

This month-over-month change puts the overall level of the S&P 500's index value at the upper end of our forecast range for the month. Or would have done so, if we had not discontinued publicly offering our forecasts.

Charles Payne: Charge!

The Fed has been printing money like crazy for a few years now and hardly any of it has reached Main Street. It's all gone to banks to shore up flaccid balance sheets and pay bloated bonuses.

Steve Chapman: Appease This!

On April 1, 2001, a U.S. spy plane and a Chinese fighter collided over the South China Sea, forcing the Americans to make an emergency landing on Chinese soil. But the Chinese government said it would not release the crew until it got an apology.

Emmett Tyrrell: The Delousing of a Movement

The Bernanke Fed and the Greenspan Fed have both proven beyond a shadow of a doubt they do not know what they are doing, where the economy is headed, or anything else of relevance in setting monetary policy.

Ralph Benko: The Business Cycle Throws The GOP A Curveball

243,000 new jobs? This is more than respectable. No unseemly disparagement by Republicans welcome, nor victory lap by Democrats. A pox on both their houses.

Walter E. Williams: Economic Chaos Ahead

Let's think about the kind of mess that we're in. Federal 2010 Medicare and Medicaid expenditures totaled $800 billion. The projected annual growth of both programs is about 7 percent. Social Security expenditures are more than $700 billion a year.

Mike Adams: Extremism in Defense of Equality

The more often liberals speak on the topic of same-sex marriage, the more illogical their arguments become.
