By Daniel B. Klein The title “The Godly Path to Adam Smith’s Liberal Plan” refers to Smith’s politics. He put it this way: “allowing every man to pursue his own interest his own way, upon the liberal plan of equality, liberty and justice.” My topic is the Godly path. When does it begin? One answer is with […]
By Selwyn Duke It was always there, just beneath the surface. Late radio giant Rush Limbaugh called it get-even-with-’em-ism. It’s that hostility that ever underlay racial quotas and that now, being more overt, is manifesting itself in “the largest racial tracking bureaucracy since the fall of Nazi Germany.” That’s how Fox News host Tucker Carlson […]

By Bruce Bialosky Americans are so detached from the products we buy in a grocery store we have little clue why they cost what they do. We recently toured a cheese manufacturing plant outside of Venice, Italy. We saw the trucks roll up to the factory with the milk that is used to make 100 […]

Predictive Insight’s pool of voters, Gallego is at a +5 advantage if both Doug Ducey and Kyrsten Sinema run for the Senate. […]
By Neland Nobel Is China helping Russia in its invasion of Ukraine? If so, what does that mean for the conflict? Secretary of State Blinken suggested that China is supplying Russia with “non-lethal” aid during a recent trip to Turkey. This statement came just before a “secret” trip to Ukraine by President Biden, which was […]
By William Luther The United States is bumping up against the debt ceiling once again. The Treasury department has begun taking extraordinary measures to ensure it can continue to service its debts on time. Secretary Yellen has said these measures should be sufficient until June. Some project they might work until August. Many pundits act […]
By Edward Ring On the surface, it might seem ridiculous to suggest libertarians and socialists work to further the same political agenda. Their ideologies are diametrically opposed. The extreme version of a socialist system is for all property to be owned and controlled by the government. The extreme version of a libertarian system is for […]

He described it as a way to save taxpayers money on top of already increasing rent costs in the region. “When I think about […]
By Laurel Duggan Democratic South Dakota state Rep. Erin Healy suggested that idealizing the traditional two-parent married household is “dangerous” and “un-American” in a Monday tweet. Healy was rebuking Family Heritage Alliance’s claim that a home with a married mother and father was the safest place for a child. Critics came to the group’s defense, […]
By Steve Goreham Charging at home is a favored feature of electric vehicles (EVs). But public charging stations are needed for long trips and to maximize market penetration of EVs. However, it’s unlikely that charging fees can cover the capital and operating costs of public chargers or make money for investors. According to Kelly Blue […]
By Kevin Roberts Another Congress, another debt limit showdown. It might seem there is nothing new under the sun. But something is different this time: In my conversations with members of Congress in recent weeks, conservatives repeatedly mentioned their willingness to tackle the thorny challenge of military spending reforms, in addition to the out-of-control non-defense […]
By Neland Nobel Outside of the purchase of a home, the purchase of an automobile or two is likely the largest purchase a consumer makes. Given it is your money at stake, the reliability of the transportation, the economy to operate, and the safety of your family, it seemed reasonable just a few years ago […]
By Paul Schwennesen Predictably, and with more than average fanfare, The New York Times’s headline-grabbing The 1619 Project is coming to the small screen. Hulu has released a six-part docuseries on the controversial historical revision, which purports to demonstrate the racist foundations of the American Project. Brainchild of Nikole Hannah-Jones and Dean Baquet, this new […]
By Natalia Mittelstadt “Don’t use machines, because you can never, ever trust them to give you a fair election,” Clinton Eugene Curtis said. A computer programmer testified this week to an Arizona Senate committee that voting machines are susceptible to manipulation as the panel seeks to require that voting machine components are made in the […]
By Frank Lasee Even though the amount of carbon dioxide being released into the atmosphere has been going up all over the world, average temperatures in the Antarctic have not gone up in the last 70 years. In fact, 2021 was the coldest 6-month winter since records began in 1957. Scientists are trying to figure […]
By Corinne Murdock Benjamin Franklin once famously said, “[I]n this world, nothing is certain except death and taxes” — true, unless you’re a leftist political nonprofit. For many of them, taxation isn’t certain, even if they run afoul of tax-exempt status requirements. Funding sources, expenditure recipients, and even those operating these nonprofits may remain secretive […]
By Jon Miltimore Modern socialists may prefer to distance themselves from Stalin and Mao, but progressives were singing a very different tune in the twentieth century. I recently had the opportunity to travel to the Texas Tech University School of Law to debate the merits of capitalism versus socialism with Ben Burgis, a columnist for […]
By Larry Sand “The largest cultural menace in America is the conformity of the intellectual cliques which, in education as well as the arts, are out to impose upon the nation their modish fads and fallacies, and have nearly succeeded in doing so. In this cultural issue, we are, without reservations, on the side of […]
By Catherine Salgado “He who would be no slave, must consent to have no slave. Those who deny freedom to others, deserve it not for themselves; and, under a just God, can not long retain it.” —Abraham Lincoln Today [last week on 2/12] in 1809, in a poor log cabin in the frontier of Kentucky, […]
