Election 2016: Donna Brazile's stunning admission that last year's Democratic primary was "rigged" in favor of Hillary Clinton and against Sen. Bernie Sanders is actually good news for Democrats. After stunning reversals in recent years, the party now knows it has a problem.
Jobs: The drop in the unemployment rate to 4.1%, while welcome news, has sparked more talk about how the economy is either very close to or already at "full employment." Not so fast.
Global Hot Air: Here's a United Nations climate report that environmentalists probably don't want anybody to read. It says that even if every country abides by the grand promises they made last year in Paris to reduce greenhouse gases, the planet would still be "doomed."
Islamic Terrorism: It didn't take long before we learned that the alleged New York terrorist who plowed into pedestrians in a well-planned attack that killed eight had been on the government's radar. That makes 10 terror attacks over the past eight years carried out by Islamic extremists "known to authorities."
Health Reform: This year, millions of ObamaCare enrollees will see their premiums decline. Wait. Weren't we reading endless accounts about how President Trump was forcing premiums through the roof? Welcome to the through-the-looking-glass world of the "Affordable Care Act."
Politicizing Everything: When it comes to running a big business, politics can be poison. Don't believe it? A new survey shows just how polarizing a brand can become by strongly identifying itself with either side of a political debate.
Russian Scandal: As the old saying goes, it's not the crime, it's the cover-up. That's certainly true with the growing scandal over the Russians' extortion racket in the U.S., possible bribes to the Bill and Hillary Clinton Foundation, and the FBI's curious decision not to reveal the Russians' activities and ties to the Obama administration.
