The overnight polls indicate that Gov. Mitt Romney trounced President Obama in the first presidential debate last night in Denver: 46% gave the victory to Romney, while only 22% offered their nod to Obama.

Can Romney make a comeback? Yes, if he can reinvent himself and become more likeable. Newt Gingrich offered him some advice: Take on the media, Gingrich wrote in a Sept. 26 column in Human Events: […]
Skousen Cafe: Lessons Learned from My Weekend in Medellin Could Help Mexico
I spent the weekend in Medellin, Colombia, and I am amazed at the growth of this South American country, largely due to the efforts of its former President Alvaro Uribe. Prior to his presidency, Colombia was rocked with Marxist terrorism, out-of-control drug lords, and sharply rising crime rates. Business leaders were kidnapped and wealthy Colombians […]

Ben Bernanke is so anxious to keep his position as Fed chairman and re-elect President Obama that he is willing to risk the Fed’s long-standing political independence and, even worse, a runaway inflation.

Skousen Cafe: Capitalist United States Tops Communist China at London Olympics
The gold-medal winning, U.S. women’s 4 x 100-meter relay team members celebrate with an American flag, after winning in world record time at the London Olympics.
