A New Low in the Media's War on Fracking
By Robert L. Bradley, Jr.

Rolling Stone just dropped a bombshell -- or so it claims in its article, "'The Harms of Fracking': New Report Details Increased Risks of Asthma, Birth Defects and Cancer."

Dig into the details, though, and it becomes clear that the study is not scientific. There remains no proof that fracking is dangerous.

President Trump Plans To Make Drugs Affordable Again
Sally C. Pipes

During his State of the Union address, President Trump pledged to drive down drug prices.

That's a worthy goal. Fortunately, the Trump administration is already pursuing it in ways that protect patients and encourage research and development. Many strategies that candidate Trump proposed on the campaign trail would have done more harm than good.

“This is the West, Sir!  When the Legend Becomes Fact, Print the Legend.”

This famous quote comes from the classic western film ‘The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance’.  It was a statement made by the editor of the local newspaper in reference to a story he’d just heard whose heroic legend was quite different from the complicated facts of the truth.  Anyone who has seen the film knows the story.

Dear Dave,

Why don’t you recommend having short-term disability insurance while doing the first three Baby Steps of your plan? It seems like a good time for it, when you’re in the beginning stages of getting your finances in order.

Good fishing, close to home

DWR biologists share best close-to-home waters to fish this spring

If you’re like many adults, some days feel like a whirlwind, and you need a break. Or, you’re simply looking for something fun to do with your family after the soccer games on Saturday. You want to go fishing, but you know you can’t devote an entire day to being outside.

Fortunately, in Utah, an entire day isn’t required to have a great time. Even if you have just a few hours, there are plenty of places you can go and enjoy good fishing.

Thank You, Mrs. Bush
