Curt Weldon, (R-Pa.), chairman of the House Armed Services and Homeland Security Committees more US asks Palestinians to return aid...

Most people assume that the 2-cent increase on first-class stamps and other postal rate increases that went into effect last month are needed to help a money-losing U.S. Postal Service.

By Victor Davis Hanson How many times have we heard the following whining and yet received no specific answers from our leaders? "Israel has nuclear weapons, so why single out Iran?" "Pakistan got nukes and we lived with it." "Who is to say the United States or Russia should have the bomb and not other countries?" more Negotiating at Gunpoint By Jacob Sullum Indianapolis Mayor Bart Peterson wants to dispel "innacuracies and stereotypes" about the use of eminent domain for economic development, a practice the U.S. Supreme Court upheld in last year's notorious Kelo v.
