The Meaning Of Last Night's New Hampshire Primaries
*Chris Pappas* One more little look at last night's primaries from New Hampshire. Because Carol Shea-Porter decided to retire, there was a lot of action in the first district. The Democrats nominated Chris Pappas, a slightly left-of-center candidate favored by the entire New Hampshire political establishment, and the Republicans nominated a mainstream conservative, Eddie Edwards, instead of the far right Trump character, Andy Sanborn. If Pappas wins, as looks likely, he will be the first openly LGBTQ member of Congress from New Hampshire. Should Edwards win, he would be the first op... more »

When the supply outstrips the demand due to rising competition, the price begins to flatline or decline, telling producers to stop expanding the supply, ot... more »

Why Do The Palestinians Get Ripped Off?
This week the Trump Administration announced that the Palestinian Mission to the US would be closed. Earlier the Administration announced an end to US humanitarian assistance to Palestinian hospitals and an end to all US assistance. These moves do not save taxpayer money, however.

Why does it seem they are getting ripped off? Is there a better way? Tune in to today's Liberty Report:

The Paradox of Liberal Fascination with an Article V Convention
The drive to call a convention under Article V of the Constitution is being driven primarily by various groups positioning themselves on the Right.

Other groups on the Right have been deeply critical of these groups, wondering how one can claim to be a conservative and yet take such a cavalier approach toward opening up our Constitution. But some groups on the Left are also seeking an Article V convention. They generally frame th... more »
