In the first Republican presidential debate, Nikki Haley got in a pretty effective jab at Vivek Ramaswamy, the tech tyro who was informing the American people of his strange views on world affairs: “You have no foreign-policy experience, and it shows.” Never mind that Haley’s foreign-policy experience as Donald Trump’s mouthpiece at the United Nations hardly makes her Henry Kissinger.

What is it with Barack and China? Let's set the context for the new command of the Messiah. A couple of weeks ago Obama claimed that the infrastructure in China is vastly superior to America's. The fact that this is a complete lie does not stop Obama from speaking truth to power. I already took Obama to issue on this in a recent article. Now the One is telling Americans to turn off their TVs, and that we can't compete with China, though we already do more than that. Here's the Messiah at work in Toledo, OH: The Swamp "We're...

It eliminates health-harming pollutants generated now by petroleum diesel and can be used in existing diesel engines without modifying either the motor or the truck.
