Rand Paul: It's America's Fault
Clearly, for some, 2016 is just around the corner. For weeks now there is scuttlebutt about presidential candidate repeat-offender Mitt Romney running yet again, and now Rand Paul is drastically watering down his isolationist and conspiracy-laden past in the hopes of becoming a contender. The senator's attempt to reinvent himself is largely superficial and points to deeper problems. On Friday

The former Massachusetts governor thinks he can rebuke the president even without beating him.
President Donald Trump strolled to a dominating victory in New Hampshire last night. “Wouldn’t a big story be that I got more New Hampshire Primary Votes than any incumbent president, in either party, in the history of that Great State,” he tweeted. “Not an insignificant fact!”

To impeach or not to impeach? That may be the wrong question.
Impeachment is presented as a binary choice – but Congress has other options for dealing with perceived presidential offenses, including censure. And in some ways, an unofficial impeachment inquiry has already started.

Ideological Discrimination in Academia Is More Complicated than You Think
Faculty feel less threatened by the opinions of undergraduates than by those of Ph.D. students and their peers.
Many right-of-center students (especially those who are grade-obsessed) self-censor, fearing that their professors will punish them for their political and cultural views if they were to express them in class discussions or assignments.

Trump Is Wrong About the Fed, and the Fed Is Wrong About Economics
Milton Friedman once said that "money is much too serious a matter to be left to the central bankers." He was right. Still, we should ensure the Fed isn't being swayed by partisan interests.
Americans are probably accustomed by now to President Donald Trump lashing out against Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell on Twitter. In one recent tweet, Trump asked his followers which man is

Having lots of money at the beginning of a presidential race — or even at the end — matters much less than it did in the past.
Be smart: President Trump probably could have won in 2016 with no money. You can’t put a price tag on free Twitter coverage, free cable coverage and all the stories flowing from both.

Will Biden's VP pick be Black, female — and a cop?
When Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) took herself out of contention to be Joe Biden's running mate last week, she made her reasoning perfectly clear. "I think this is a moment to put a woman of color on that ticket," she said."If you want to heal this nation right now — my party, yes, but our nation — this is sure a hell of a way to do it."
The context was obvious. America's cities have
