Iowa abortions contribute to the Iowa worker shortage

By Iowans for Life Yesterday’s Wall Street Journal ran with the headline: “Iowa’s Labor Plight: Too Many Jobs.” They ran with the wrong lede. The correct headline should have been: “Iowa’s Labor Plight: Worker Shortage.” The article points out that Iowa’s unemployment has dropped to an astounding 2.9%.

The heartlessness of Obamacare

Democrats and their media allies decry any Republican attempts to repeal and replace Obamacare as heartless.

If heartlessness is the issue to the Left, then they should lead the charge in replacing Obamacare. The Mercatus Center at George Mason University commissioned Hanover Research to survey companies to learn of the impact Obamacare disincentives had on job creation.

A good man is confirmed to head the EPA

“President Obamacouldn’t get his climate-change agenda through a Democratic Congress, so he ordered the EPA to impose it on the 50 states by diktat.

Conservative groups have been subjected to a shocking level of political intimidation during the Obama years. Imagine what it’ll be like under the back alley tactics of the Clintons.

Obama’s flaw is good news for conservatives

Much of the Obama legacy can be undone fairly quickly if Republicans regain the White House. If the president had enacted these changes via legislative action, much like Mr. Clinton and Mr. Reagan did, they would be difficult to undo.

But Mr. Obama didn’t do it the old-fashioned, American, democratic way, because he’s a lousy, preening politician who thinks he knows what’s best for the ‘little guy.’

Instead, he crammed it down our throats with his pen…

The discipline fix

Two sets of school systems.

A tepid 20% of the students in System One are able to pass their state’s math tests.

A robust 95% of the students in System Two are able to pass the same tests.

Which system works best? It is self-evident: System Two.
