Don't Regulate the Rail Industry By Stephen Moore

It's less than a week from of the Iowa caucuses, and Bernie Sanders, born in September 1941, three months before Pearl Harbor, leads the RealClearPolitics average of recent polls by 4 points in Iowa, 10 points in New Hampshire and 5 points in the biggest delegate prize, the Super Tuesday-voting California.

Red China's Infection of US Classrooms By Michelle Malkin
Dangerous menaces are spreading from mainland China to the United States. Surgical masks and Big Pharma vaccines, however, won't protect this nation from its infiltration. The problem doesn't lie with bats. It lies with America's batty pursuit of globalization at all costs.

Freebies for Everyone By John Stossel
The Iowa Caucus, the real start of the 2020 presidential primaries, is next week. Who's favored to win? Sadly, as I write this, the smart money says it's the candidate who's promised Americans the most "free" stuff.

The Economy's Unsung Hero Is Low Interest Rates By Stephen Moore
At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, last week, President Donald Trump again talked positively about negative interest rates. That's not a very good idea considering negative interest rates are a warning signal of deflation, which can be as bad for an economy as runaway inflation.

If This Is a Democracy, Why Don't We Vote for the Vice President, Too? By Ted Rall
Let's say you owned a house and needed extra cash to make ends meet, so you decided to rent two of your bedrooms. Would you agree to lease those rooms to two people under the condition that you could only run a credit check on and meet one of them?

Hillary Puts Bernie Into Her Basket of Deplorables By Patrick J. Buchanan

Historians Say New York Times Gets History Wrong By Michael Barone
We live in history-making times. Not so much because of the impeachment trial going on in the Senate, which will make history only if it routinizes impeachments of impolite presidents when their opposition party gets control of the House, but because of what looks like an ongoing battle for control of the central narrative of American history.

POTUS Popping in the Polls By Brian C. Joondeph
Watch cable news, particularly CNN or MSNBC, and hear how the “walls are closing in” on President Trump.

Trump Not Immune to the Usual Down-Ballot Presidential Penalty By Louis Jacobson
But the Senate remains a bright spot for Republicans amidst decline elsewhere.
KEY POINTS FROM THIS ARTICLE
— After just three years in the White House, Donald Trump is seeing a significant erosion of down-ballot seats held by his party.
— This erosion puts Trump in good company — at least since World War II, presidents typically experience at least some erosion across his party’s numbers of U.S. Senate, U.S. House, gubernatorial, and state legislative seats.
— The best news for Trump and Republicans is that they have held their own in the category of races that is arguably most politically important: the Senate.
