EPPC BrieflyFEATURED PUBLICATION

Déjà Two

In the cover story of the Claremont Review of Books, EPPC Senior Fellow Stanley Kurtz tackles the “still poorly-understood power-sharing arrangement” of Bill and Hillary Clinton. “They are caught in a contradiction: unable to renege on their power-sharing arrangement, they are also unable to make it work.”

‘History’ Won’t Defeat ISIS

The Obama administration insists that ISIS, Russia, and other foes are “on the wrong side of history,” but, argues EPPC Senior Fellow Mona Charen, President Obama’s “own over-eagerness to disengage from global responsibilities and to back away from military commitments has stimulated just the sort of forces he describes as retrograde.”

EPPC Senior Fellow Roger Scruton makes the case that “‘soft power’ … without the hard power to back it up” is as insufficient for confronting today’s “tyrants and totalitarians” in the Middle East and Europe as it was in the 20th century.

And don’t miss EPPC Senior Fellow Peter Wehner’s recounting of the White House’s fumbling attempts to cover for President Obama’s “deeply and dangerously misinformed” comments on ISIS.
