Michael Barone: Newt Keeps Pitching the America of His Imagination Here are a couple of things to keep in mind about Newt Gingrich, as he leads in polls for the Republican presidential nomination nationally and in Iowa and South Carolina, and may be threatening Mitt Romney's lead in New Hampshire.

Star Parker: Payroll Tax "Cut" Just Another Welfare State Scam Last year a one year cut in the payroll taxes that working Americans pay to finance Social Security was enacted in the name of so-called economic “stimulus.” But, like the rest of the economic stimuli that have come from Washington over the last three years, the only thing that has been stimulated is the growing hole of national debt into which we sink deeper and deeper.

John Ransom: Help the Democrats Help Maxine Waters Finish the Job on Banks Look for Maxine to continue to lobby for the top Democrat spot on the finance committee; look for Maloney to wait in the background for the ethics charges to undo Maxine; and look for the GOP to keep the ethics investigation alive enough to embarrass the Democrats, but not quite alive enough to do Maxine in, just yet.

Mike Adams: Save the World on Your Own Dime The taxpayers are being beaten to death by liberalism. Meanwhile academic liberals are complaining that they are taking a beating with recent budget cuts, which they claim are unjust. For the first time in a long time, I agree with the liberals. The budget cuts are unjust. In my view, they aren’t deep enough. If you disagree, consider this: One public university in North Carolina has just found money to start (in the midst of a budget crisis) a new scholarship to reward feminists for engaging in feminist political activism on the job.

Katie Kieffer: Frack, Baby, Frack I have a slam-dunk plan for creating jobs: Frack baby, frack. Move like Shaq. Let’s beat the buzzer, Shaq-style, and score points for the U.S. economy. Frack Attack!

Lurita Doan: Democrats Decry the Hatch Act --Oh My! Well, well, well. Now the wheel has come full circle. With Democrats holding the White House and holding only a very slim majority in the Senate, they have become concerned about the Hatch Act's overly broad interpretation of "political" activity.

Bruce Bialosky: The Obamacare Onslaught Begins The CLASS portion may have been eliminated and the individual mandate will be decided by the Supreme Court, but I’d like to discuss one of the many hidden costs contained within the legislation.

Bob Beauprez: George Will: Carl’s Jr. is Choking on Regulation Reid is using his power as the Majority Leader of the Senate to deny nearly two dozen regulation relief bills already passed by the House to come to the floor of the Senate for a vote at a time when 26 million Americans are unemployed, under employed, or have given up even trying to find a job.

Jeff Carter: Clarence Page is Tone Deaf That’s why inside the Beltway people don’t understand the Tea Party. They wish it would just go away. It won’t, and it’s stronger than ever.

Mike Shedlock: State to Seize Govt Control of Detroit? Detroit has been broken and bankrupt for years, decades probably, but certainly for the entire time Bing has been mayor.

Terry Paulson: Fathers Matter Early Wednesday morning, Homer Paulson--my dad, my hero, my encourager, my laughing buddy, my Mr. Fixit, and my model for faith and conservative living--died at the age of 93.

Stewart Scott: A Deadly U.S. Attack on Pakistani The death toll inflicted by the United States against Pakistani servicemen is unprecedented, and while U.S. commanders and NATO leaders have expressed regret over the incident, the reaction from Pakistan has been severe.

Crista Huff: Putting Some Caffeine Kick in Your Portfolio This large-cap growth stock has projected consensus earnings (EPS) growth of 20%, 21% and 16% for fiscal years 2012 through 2014.

Daniel J. Mitchell: When Will We Learn that Regulation Is the Problem Rather Than the Solution? I’ve paid considerable attention to the role of easy money by the Federal Reserve and the perverse subsidies provided by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

Bill Tatro: Liars Figure and Figures Lie It’s pure magic. As people continue to be discounted, the base will diminish and the unemployment rate will decline. Hooray! By Election Day, nobody will be working, but the unemployment rate will be an acceptable 6%.

Dan Holler: Going Down in Flames It is easy to see why one-in-five small businesses list regulations as their biggest obstacle; just look at Tampa-based J.C. Newman Cigar Company. At 116 years old, it is America's oldest family-owned premium cigar maker. In 1895, J.C. Newman borrowed $50 and started a cigar company. At the time, he was an unemployed cigar maker eager to achieve the American Dream.

Chris Poindexter: Gold Up, Next Week Could See More Gains As the Federal Reserve funny money policies go global, there will be widening inflationary pressures which are ultimately bad for cash savers and good for precious metals investors.
