British Prime Minister Gordon Brown says the world has 50 days to come to a consensus on how to combat climate change at the summit Denmark – or else subsequent efforts may be too late. Dr. Tim Ball says Brown is just the latest predictor of doom and is dead wrong in his statistics on the current state of our climate and how it will impact life in the future.
Texas Rep. Kevin Brady – top House Republican on the Joint Economic Committee – reacts to a record deficit of $1.42 trillion in Fiscal Year 2009. How dangerous is this number?

Retired U.S. Air Force General Tom McInerney says President Obama is not acting like a Commander-in-Chief.

We’ve told you how the ‘green jobs’ experiment in Spain was a disaster – losing two jobs for every temporary position added. We explained how the Danish experiment with wind power has saddled Danes with the highest energy costs in Europe while wind power adds a microscopic portion of the nation’s energy. Now we focus on Germany. What does a new report tell us about the impact of a ‘green jobs’ program in Germany? Are good jobs being created? How much does it cost taxpayers to keep each ‘green job’ afloat? What do their energy rates look like? And what has been the change in emissions? We ask Dr. Colin Vance, co-author of a new study on the German renewable energies effort.
The Obama administration has gone out of its way to declare the Fox News Channel an arm of the Republican Party and an organization pressing a conservative agenda. Are they right?

The Capitol Steps poke fun at Democrats and their instinct to spend lots of your money in dealing with the nation’s problems.
South Carolina Rep. Joe Wilson offers his latest insights into the war in Afghanistan. Does he trust the recent election results? Does he trust Karzai or is the rampant corruption too much? How soon does President Obama need to make a decision on strategy and troops? Why does he consider Joe Biden’s strategy in Afghanistan ‘utterly bizarre’?

The Congressional Budget Office gave a favorable score to the Baucus health plan, so it wouldn’t add to the deficit, right? WRONG says Cato Institute Director of Health Policy Studies Michael Cannon. He says the CBO was honestly scoring a vastly dishonest bill. In what three ways was the bill fundamentally dishonest? What is the actual total cost?
