The Best Editorial Page you will find is

Investor's Business Daily.  IBD publishes outstanding easy-to-read editorials that show the benefits of free markets and capitalism.  A sampling:


Health Reform: We checked, and we couldn't find Sen. John McCain telling voters who reelected him in 2016 that he'd repeal ObamaCare, but only if the Senate followed all the proper "procedures." But that's his excuse now for killing what is likely the last chance to get rid of this law.

Climate Change: Global warming is "settled science," we hear all the time. Those who reject that idea are "deniers." But as new evidence trickles out from peer-reviewed science studies, the legs beneath the climate change hypothesis — that the earth was doing just fine until carbon-dioxide spewing human beings came along — is increasingly wobbly.

Regulation: It's no accident that Washington, D.C., has become known as the graveyard of promises. It's exceedingly rare that a promise made in the nation's capital is a promise kept. That's why it's great to report that President Trump has kept a big one — to cut two regulations for every new one passed.

Elections: Have you noticed that even the most ardent Trump haters haven't been pining for a Hillary Clinton presidency? In case anyone had any doubts as to why, her post-loss antics have cleared it up.

Health Reform: After nine fruitless months, Republicans have finally come up with an ObamaCare replacement plan that is simple and appealing, and that should easily pass the Senate. Will the GOP blow it again?

Helping Hands: As with Hurricane Harvey in Texas, Hurricane Irma has severely tested Americans' generosity and willingness to help their fellow human beings in a time of need. And they have once again passed the test with flying colors.

Growth: Buried amid a deluge of nasty news ranging from the growing North Korean nuclear threat to killer hurricanes hitting our coasts, the Census Bureau reports that median household income, a broad gauge of family financial well-being, hit its highest level ever last year. That's another strong sign that the economy is trying to break out of its 10-year growth slump.
