By Thomas Catenacci, Joe Schoffstall Editors’ Note: Most of us are aware that the CCP has been actively bribing US politicians and gifting money to Confucius centers at universities, but may not be aware of how they operate with NGOs and fund the “environmental movement.” Their activity in environmental matters makes little sense because if […]

By Catherine Salgado Everyone knows who Santa Claus is. But centuries before he became the jolly sleigh-riding elf we all love, St. Nicholas was a bishop in Turkey who performed miracles, got into fisticuffs with a heretic, and, of course, gave out presents. And we can all continue to learn from and be inspired by […]
By Bruce Bialosky I was at one of my local casual restaurants for lunch on a Saturday. I asked my waiter, who I know, for my check and said to him jokingly that if the restaurant wants to, they could cover me for the day. He said that would be tomorrow, Sunday. I suggested that […]

The reason traces entirely to his independence of mind and the actions that follow from that. In times of censorship, he bought and now protects a free-speech platform, the only […]
By Betsy McCaughey When Emma Lazarus wrote her famous line in 1883, “Give me your tired, your poor,/ Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,” there was no Medicaid, food stamps, housing vouchers, and government-run shelters.

By James Hartley There is a specter haunting America, but it is no longer Marxism. Widely dubbed “Woke,” this ideology “is likely to make us stray from, not guide us toward, the kind of society to which we all have reason to aspire.” It is “likely to create a society composed of warring tribes rather […]
By Ben Whedon Having it both ways? As more and more local politicians call for aid to help with the increasing cost of illegal immigrant influx, Hobb’s new hawkish rhetoric conflicts with her own immigration record and past statements on the matter, contradicting a more permissive campaign theme that aligned with the “open borders” approach.

By Neland Nobel Last time we wrote on the markets we continued to advocate a cautiously bullish market stance.

By Wolf Richter So far, vice chair Williams, Mester, Bostic twice already, and even Goolsbee who accused markets of wishful thinking.
