Time to revisit Bill Clinton’s welfare reform

President Bill Clinton embraces welfare recipient Lillie Harden of Little Rock, Ark.,before signing welfare reform into law on Aug. 22, 1996, in the Rose Garden. HILLARY CLINTON'S presidential campaign is premised, at least implicitly, on the idea that if you liked her husband Bill Clinton's presidency, you'll love hers.

Forget Trump a ” Hillary should debate Bernie

To some voters, the prospect of Democratic insurgent Bernie Sanders debating Republican nominee Donald Trump in an "arena somewhere" in California would be a dream come true. We're not sure where Hillary Clinton falls on that spectrum, but one thing is clear: No one would even be talking about a #SandersTrumpDebate if the Democratic front-runner had kept her promise to California.

Audit exposes pattern of reckless behavior

If there were still those reluctant to question the judgment and veracity of Hillary Clinton, the inspector general's scathing summary of the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee's private email system should be sufficient to convince even her most diehard fans. According to the Associated Press, the inspector general's long-awaited audit concluded that Clinton and her top advisers ignored clear guidance from the State Department that her email setup broke federal standards and could have exposed sensitive material to hackers.

The US election is about the past

The first evidence that something was amiss in the American electorate came last February 20, when Donald Trump won the South Carolina primary. You don't need to be steeped in the minutiae of United States politics to work out why that happened - all you have to do is clear out all Trump's talk about walls and borders and focus on the US' intervention in Iraq.

Judicial Overreach: Small Court, Big Economic Ramifications

Judicial overreach is moving beyond a theoretical political debate, as one Delaware state judge could throw the livelihoods of nearly 4,000 people into uncertainty and have sweeping ramifications for other major American employers. TransPerfect Global is by almost any measure a successful company, with more than $500 million in revenue and more than 3,500 fulltime employees.

Airport security disarray

This week's departure of Kelly Hoggan as head of security for the embattled Transportation Security Administration is a nice start to a management shake-up, but it won't probably bring much comfort to travelers stuck in long lines in the nation's airports. No, that would have at least required Mr. Hoggan to take off his shoes, empty his pockets and submit to a full body scan - but only after two hours of anxiously milling about in a crowd of strangers.

Four-Way Race for President Not Out of the Question

Could Bernie Sanders put Mitt Romney in the White House? I haven't gotten my 2012 and 2016 wires crossed; I have a theory that's slightly more realistic than a Donald Trump presidency seemed a year ago. As it stands now, it seems almost inconceivable that Sanders could become the Democratic nominee -- unless the FBI indicts Hillary Clinton before the convention, or she reveals herself to be some sort of animatronic device sent from the future to bore us to death .

Private Is Better

But I take heart knowing that America's founders imposed checks and balances, so there will be limits on what bad things the next president can do. Politicians say there are so many things only government should do -- explore outer space, provide airport security, supply utilities, etc.

Time to Shove the ‘Free Love’ Generation Out the Door

The leftists who came of age in the counterculture revolutionary movements of the '60s and '70s are now in charge in both Europe and the U.S., and facing a populist backlash. They failed to learn the lessons of their own experiences, and it's time for them to be dropkicked into the waste bin of history.

Great that Cargill is staying in Wichita

Wichita could exhale upon learning Tuesday that Cargill's protein business headquarters would relocate locally, in a decision that boosts the city's economic fortunes while strengthening the bond between the global company and Kansas.
