By Neland Nobel Estimated Reading Time: 4 minutes One of the more disturbing parts of the recent Presidential debate was when one of the moderators asked Kamala Harris about her flip-flopping on key issues like guns and fracking. Kudos to the moderator who raised the question, but shame on them for letting her avoid providing […]
By James D. Agresti Estimated Reading Time: 4 minutes In an article titled “Harris Flip-Flops on Building the Border Wall,” Axios is reporting that Kamala Harris is suddenly pledging to “spend hundreds of millions of dollars on the wall along the southern border.” That claim is demonstrably false and is based on a misrepresentation of […]
By Editors of The Independent Women’s Forum Estimated Reading Time: 2 minutes Sex-Based Speech is not harassment. Meta (Facebook and Instagram) has almost 4 billion active users and moderates content based on Community Standards. Its “Bullying and Harassment” Community Standard generally requires removal of targeted bullying against children and bullying that the victim specifically asks […]
By Bruce Bialosky Estimated Reading Time: 4 minutes The new cool kids are all into it. They banter the term around all the time. It is either “decolonization” or “postcolonization.” They like to tell us it concerns their favored terrorist group—Hamas—even though the last colonists there were the Brits. With everyone talking about it, I […]
By Neland Nobel Estimated Reading Time: 4 minutes A 90-minute debate, with charge and countercharge flying back and forth, is complex to unpack and fact-check in a short article. We will leave that to others. This is being written right after the debate. We have not listened to other commentaries as it will muddy our […]
By M.D. Kittle Estimated Reading Time: 6 minutes Editors’ Note: For those who howled about the cost of the Trump Border Wall and did so much to delay and obstruct its construction, it would seem the cost of not building the wall has been much higher. In addition, proposals from the likes of Senate candidate […]
By Marvin A. Treiger Estimated Reading Time: 3 minutes Tucker Carlson recently favorably praised and interviewed Darryl Cooper as one of the best historians around and as a podcaster with a substantial following. Tucker’s admired guest spouted off a Churchill-hating, Hitler-loving, anti-semitic distortion of history. For him, Churchill was “psychotic” and largely responsible for WWII, […]
By Craig Eyermann Estimated Reading Time: 4 minutes Editors’ Note: We have on several occasions expressed similar fears that due to the excessive issuance of Treasuries, the price will tend to fall, causing interest rates to rise more than would otherwise be the case, even while normal experience would be for interest rates to decline […]
By Kenin M. Spivak Estimated Reading Time: 8 minutes If Democrats believed in their positions, they wouldn’t have to deceive. People with nothing to hide usually don’t. Kamala Harris and Tim Walz’s campaign is another Democratic Party hoax. Their strategy is to talk about “joy,” “vibes,” January 6, and Donald Trump’s conviction in New York, […]
By Neland Nobel Estimated Reading Time: 6 minutes One problem with writing an economic and market commentary is that it is a lot like writing a movie review after seeing only the first few scenes. There is more of the story to come, with complex twists and turns in the plot, but the reviewer must […]

By Bruce Bialosky Estimated Reading Time: 3 minutes Recently I read how the current campaign between Trump and Harris is divided between the team who is bringing joy to the campaign trail and the one that brings rage. That is a fascinating way to characterize the two campaigns. Let’s take a closer look. We begin […]

By Josh Stevenson Estimated Reading Time: 2 minutes A new paper in JAMA analyzes survey respondents in the US over the period of time right after the Covid pandemic started in April 2020 and through early 2024. It reveals a significant decline in trust in physicians and hospitals, dropping from 71.5% in April 2020, to 40.1% in […]
By Margot Cleveland Estimated Reading Time: 5 minutes The Harris-Walz campaign and abortion apologists continue to deceive Americans, both about Trump’s pro-life positions and the consequences of abortion initiatives. Florida’s Amendment 4 ballot initiative is not about overturning the state’s six-week abortion ban. It is about inscribing an unlimited, unregulated access to abortion-on-demand for the […]
By Catherine Salgado Estimated Reading Time: 2 minutes The Mexican government and the Biden-Harris administration have made an agreement to ship in yet more illegal aliens at taxpayer expense. Make no mistake—they intend these foreign lawbreakers to rig the 2024 election.

They were the latest of approximately 10,000 brigadistas who have done so since the first contingent departed in 1969. A new InfluenceWatch profile details the Venceremos Brigade’s unique […]
By Shawn Fleetwood Estimated Reading Time: 2 minutes Arizona’s 15 counties are refusing to undertake required procedures to ensure foreign nationals are removed from the voter rolls, an “amended” lawsuit filed Tuesday alleges.

By Rebeka Zeljko Estimated Reading Time: 2 minutes Democrats are already pushing back against a Republican-led plan that would temporarily fund the federal government until March, decrying a separate bill attached to the measure that requires proof of U.S. citizenship for voter registration.
