So declared the Oil states in the Arabian Gulf as they announced a new regional currency. It will be tied to a global market basket of currencies. The administration is too busy trying to take over the private sector to do its job. All hail the ruling regime.

The Democrat Party seems almost lockstep in socializing America at the national level. What may trip them up is an implosion over a radical cultural agenda. The reason I brought up cultural issues today is that they are what is being voted upon this week. Conservatives are not the ones [...]
