Shedding Light on a Dark Idea

POSTED BY Grace-Marie Turner on March 18, 2022.

In the interest of playing God with time and saving Americans from the inconvenience of resetting their (mostly self-setting) clocks twice a year, the U.S. Senate unanimously approved a bill on Tuesday to make daylight savings time permanent. Congress tried this once before in the energy crisis of the 1970s. It was disastrous.  “The sun rose at 8:27 AM on January 7, … [Read more...] about Shedding Light on a Dark Idea

A Stronger New Normal

POSTED BY Grace-Marie Turner on March 11, 2022.

Not long before I came to Washington to work for a U.S. Senator, Hurricane Agnes had pounded the East coast, leaving 128 people dead and causing billions of dollars in damages.

Refreshing real-world facts

POSTED BY Grace-Marie Turner on March 4, 2022.

Coverage of all things Covid has been shockingly partisan and biased, with the major media gleefully presenting what it considers the politically-correct version of facts.  You have to dig to see beyond the distortions, and I thought I would share sources that give you “the rest of the story,” to quote the late radio commentator Paul Harvey.

Co-existing with the virus

POSTED BY Grace-Marie Turner on February 25, 2022.

As Russia’s invasion of Ukraine rightly dominates the world’s attention, it gives us a moment to step back and examine our two-year crisis with Covid-19 and signs that we are finally entering a new phase.  Nearly one million lives have been lost, with the numbers continuing to rise. Secondary casualties from terrible government policies will be with us for decades. Countless lives could have … [Read more...] about Co-existing with the virus

The Inside Story Behind Operation Warp Speed

POSTED BY Galen Institute on February 22, 2022.

From its inception in May 2020, Operation Warp Speed, which was tasked with facilitating the development of multiple vaccines to address the Covid-19 pandemic, was widely criticized and scorned by the media and the political left. And yet it proved to be one of the most successful, and life-saving, public-private partnerships in history—a fact that even the media now grudging acknowledge. One … [Read more...] about The Inside Story Behind Operation Warp Speed

Hope for the Future

POSTED BY Grace-Marie Turner on February 18, 2022.

Galen Senior Fellow Brian Blase delivered his first congressional testimony yesterday as president of the new think tank he has founded, the Paragon Health Institute, and even though he was outnumbered 3-1 on the witness stand, he owned the hearing. “Exploring Pathways to Affordable, Universal Health Coverage” was the subject of a House Education and Labor subcommittee hearing, which you can … [Read more...] about Hope for the Future

Ideas for 2023

POSTED BY Grace-Marie Turner on February 11, 2022.

While Democrats control both the White House and Congress, House Republicans are working to create a fresh legislative agenda on health care, the economy, Big Tech, energy, and a host of key issues in preparation for the fall elections and their hopes of taking control in 2023. President Biden taunted them in his January 19 news conference asking repeatedly, “What are Republicans … [Read more...] about Ideas for 2023
