No doubt, a contributing factor is that Americans are wasting too much time keeping track of their passwords, security codes, PINs, user […]
By Tyler Durden Editors’ Note: This information seems to go even beyond what is called “regulatory capture.” Rule making agencies often lack expertise and hence tend to recruit personnel from the very companies they regulate. Progressives argued that “market failure” required the guiding hand of bureaucrats to correct abuses. However, in this case, regulators actually […]
By Cameron Arcand Editors’ Note: The concept used to be, “public lands”, where ranchers, lumbermen, miners, off-road enthusiasts, hunters, hikers, and mountain bikers, in other words, “the public” had use of the Federal lands. Now propelled by the environmental movement, increasingly these become “private lands” government-owned and approved for only progressive causes. It is even […]
By Peter Hitchens Editors’ Note: The debate about legalization may not really be the debate. Smoking tobacco is legal, but restricted. Advertising is banned and its use is now severely frowned upon in today’s culture. Even the tobacco companies themselves must fund education against their own product. But marijuana gets a pass. It is an […]
By Michael Infanzon The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) has taken a bold stand against the Biden administration’s attempt to redefine firearm regulations in the case of VanDerStok v. Garland. The controversy centers around the government’s move to classify unfinished firearm frames and receivers as “firearms,” a decision that SAF believes goes beyond the established statutory […]

By Bruce Bialosky The Left has gone after members of the U.S. Supreme Court on drummed-up ethics charges. Whether the Justices have violated any ethics rules (which they have all denied in specificity as to their filings and their actions) is in the eye of the beholder. What we want to explore is how people […]
By T.J. Harker The indictments of Donald Trump represent a power play, not the interests of justice. Special Counsel Jack Smith has indicted President Trump. Again. To spare you the pain of reading them, let me summarize the recent 45-page “election fraud” indictment and the June 44-page “documents” indictment: in June, Smith indicted Trump for […]
By Conlan Salgado There is an old idea that excellence in any discipline is difficult to achieve. Perhaps that idea suggests another similar, though unconnected one: that those who have achieved excellence are difficult to enslave.In the movie 13 Assassins, Shinrokuro Shinmada says, “Ruling is convenient, but only for rulers. The people must learn to […]
By Ben Lieberman 2023 began with federal regulators targeting gas stoves, but we have since seen a host of other proposals going after washing machines, refrigerators, dishwashers, ceiling fans, water heaters, and others. They are all part of the Biden administration’s prioritization of the climate change agenda over the interests of consumers. Each runs the risk of boosting appliance prices, […]

So, Fitch, the bond rating agency called it as they […]

Within the last week alone, CBS News Chicago released several articles detailing a series of incidents involving mail theft and crime throughout the Windy City. On July 31, for […]
By Paul Gottfried Matthew Continetti: The Washington Post’s go-to authority on conservatism Washington Post reached for superlatives last year in describing Matthew Continetti’s The Right. This voice of the establishment Left explained that Continetti, besides being an AEI senior fellow and a one-time distinguished editor of the Washington Free Beacon, may be the premier intellectual historian of the American […]
