Opinion | Biden’s Prostate Cancer and the Tyranny of the Experts

1 week ago | wsj.com | Allysia Finley

Ezekiel Emanuel is an opponent of long life. So why did he back someone so old for president? Joe Biden’s stage 4 prostate cancer diagnosis raises many questions, not least why a U.S. president with access to the best healthcare in the world didn’t have routine blood screenings that could have caught the disease before it turned deadly.
Opinion | Democrats Find an Ally in Josh Hawley

2 weeks ago | wsj.com | Allysia Finley

In 2018 he filed a lawsuit to overturn ObamaCare. Now he’s fighting against any Medicaid reform. The 2028 GOP primary is already in view as a younger generation of Republicans jockey for Trump voters. Based on the left-wing positions Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley is taking, he might be better off running as a Democrat. Mr. Hawley, 45, is deceptively marketing himself as a tribune of the working class, notwithstanding his prep school education and degrees from Stanford and Yale Law School.

Opinion | America Needs a Supply-Side Comeback

Art Laffer, the man who drew the Laffer Curve, is optimistic about the prospects for pro-growth tax cuts, the current GOP heterodoxies notwithstanding. Soon after Gerald Ford became president in 1974, Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld—both serving in the White House—met economist Art Laffer and Wall Street Journal editorial writer Jude Wanniski for dinner at a Washington restaurant to discuss their disagreement with the president’s support for raising taxes.
Opinion | Welfare As We Know It Is Back—and It’s Bipartisan

3 weeks ago | wsj.com | Allysia Finley

It’s the Clinton years in reverse: Democrats and some Republicans refuse to reform Medicaid. Bill Clinton won election in 1992 on a promise to “end welfare as we know it.” When running for re-election four years later, he declared “the era of big government is over.” Alas, welfare is back in fashion like girls’ overalls, ushering in a new era of bipartisan big government. Blue Dog Democrats who backed welfare and other government reforms in the 1990s are a dying breed.
‘The energy giant Exxon, once a resister, now pushes for draconian regulations on carbon emissions’ - Wants to ‘take advantage of some of the government support’ for carbon capture & sequestration - Climate Depot

By Allysia FinleyExcerpt:The world hit peak climate four years ago. Companies and countries pledged to become “net zero.” Automakers put the pedal to the metal on electric vehicles. Asset managers vowed to punish corporate boards that didn’t get with the program. Exxon Mobil at first resisted. But after a bruising shareholder proxy battle in 2021, the energy giant surrendered to the progressive climate army that is now in retreat.
Opinion | The World Is Past ‘Peak Climate,’ but Exxon Lags Behind

The energy giant, once a resister, now pushes for draconian regulations on carbon emissions. The world hit peak climate four years ago. Companies and countries pledged to become “net zero.” Automakers put the pedal to the metal on electric vehicles. Asset managers vowed to punish corporate boards that didn’t get with the program. Exxon Mobil at first resisted. But after a bruising shareholder proxy battle in 2021, the energy giant surrendered to the progressive climate army that is now in retreat.
Opinion | California Keeps Declining, and Newsom Tries to Blame Trump

1 month ago | wsj.com | Allysia Finley

Tariffs don’t help, but the state’s problems aren’t new, and Democrats have governed for years. Say this for Gavin Newsom, he’s a master of misdirection. California is losing jobs—54,800 during the first three months of this year. Valero this month announced plans to close a major refinery, portending gasoline shortages and price spikes. Insurance and electricity rates are soaring.
Opinion | Do Food Stamps Make People Fat?

1 month ago | wsj.com | Allysia Finley

The government shouldn’t subsidize soda and candy, which have no nutritional benefit whatever. American waistlines have ballooned in tandem with government welfare. Is there a connection? Studies show people on food stamps eat less healthily than other low-income Americans.
Opinion | Democrats Are Fair-Weather Free-Traders

1 month ago | wsj.com | Allysia Finley

The president’s opponents suddenly hate tariffs. There were plenty of chances to head them off. You have to smile at all the born-again Democratic free-traders. Look no further than Gov. Gavin Newsom, who last week announced that California plans to “pursue strategic relationships with international trading partners.”“It’s our workers, families, and farmers who stand to lose the most from this Trump tax hike and trade war,” Mr. Newsom declared.
