By Jordan Boyd Technology that replaces the inherent value of life with a numeric placeholder makes the precious gift of living seem expendable. What would you say if you discovered that your parents chose to birth and raise you over any of your other siblings because they believed your genes to be superior? That’s exactly […]
By Alexander William Salter The American economy is far weaker than it should be. Unemployment is low, but this overstates our economic strength given troubling long-term trends in labor force participation. Inflation is still more than twice as high as the Federal Reserve’s target. Real output growth is anemic. We have lots of workers, plenty […]
By Neland Nobel Those old enough might remember in the early days of the sexual revolution, the common refrain was to “get the government out of the bedroom”. The thought was that the police powers of the state had no business involving themselves in the private sexual practices of consenting adults. This principle was applied […]
By Jarrett Stepman NEW YORK—It’s that time again for the Left. Another crisis it just can’t let go to waste. The crisis of the day is a series of large-scale forest fires in Canada—at least some apparently started by arson—that caused a huge amount of smoke to descend on the United States. Some areas got […]
By Michael Watson In 2021, Republicans swept to power in Virginia, riding a popular wave rejecting their opponents’ commitment to the teachers unions’ agenda of critical race theory–inspired instruction, COVID-19 mask mandates, school closures, and dismissal of parents’ involvement in their children’s education. During the buildup to this political rout, the Biden Administration Justice Department proposed at school […]
By Victoria Taft A leaked video shows that at least one Washington, D.C., cop—and likely more—acted on January 6 as apparent agent provocateurs, dressing as protesters outside the Capitol Building and urging protesters toward the iconic building. See the video below. Congressman Barry Loudermilk (R-Ga.) says the authenticated GoPro video raises the question of why […]
By Charles M. Strauss It was NOT what I was expecting. I went on a Viking River Cruise, east-west up the Danube: Romania-Bulgaria-Serbia-Croatia-Hungary-Slovakia-Austria. Sounds pretty boring, right? A bunch of American geezers wandering around in ribcage-high Madras shorts and calf-high black socks? What a shock. Everywhere I went, from everybody I met, I got an […]
By Jordan Boyd Democrats are dead set on indicting Trump because they know they can’t beat him fair and square. The same institutions that tormented former President Donald Trump for years with false accusations of collusion with Russia are making yet another brazen attempt to rig the next presidential election against the wishes of the […]
By Kylee Griswold ‘Pride’ activists will do whatever it takes to maintain their clutch on the narrative — including spinning their own bomb threats against themselves. The shameless corporate media are so desperate for a narrative about LGBT victimhood, they’re pretending threats of violence from angry pro-“pride” perpetrators are instead threats against them. The latest […]
By Conlan Salgado “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.” So begins the greatest work of practical political philosophy every written. In part, what these words were […]

By Jordan Conradson Katie Hobbs’ Office of Tourism and the Arizona Lottery is set to sponsor an all-ages drag show this weekend in Flagstaff, Arizona. The “Pride In the Pine’s Official After Party” event is at the Orpheum Theater in Flagstaff on June 17 at 9 pm. AZ Free News reports, “The event is open […]
By Mark Wallace The Radical Left’s fanatical hatred of Donald J. Trump truly knows no bounds. Back in early 2016, some Leftist elements cheered his nomination for President by the Republican Party because they believed he had no chance of winning the White House. When that was proven false by Trump’s overwhelming Electoral College victory […]
By Jason Bedrick Democrats claim a new program will bankrupt the state. The opposite is true. Is school choice bankrupting Arizona? That’s what Gov. Katie Hobbs and Democratic legislative leaders would have you believe, but simple math says otherwise. Arizona’s choice program, Empowerment Scholarship Accounts (ESAs), “in its current form is not sustainable,” Ms. Hobbs tweeted last week. “We […]
By Craig J. Cantoni Fixed or fluid, the argument is made more interesting because while there are very little DNA differences among racial categories, there are immense differences between the two sexes. Such differences lead among other factors to different hormones and subsequent physical and mental development. Yet these immense differences are considered fluid, while […]
By Neland Nobel Years ago, a colleague in money management displayed a book in his office that he authored called “Everything I Know About the Stock Market.” As I recall, it was a hefty book, attractively bound with a feel of quality. However, after opening up the tome, every page was blank. For financial types, […]
By The Editors Editors’ Note: Dr. Patrick Moore, one of the original environmentalists and a founder of Greenpeace, talks about the theory of global warming and the role of science. We wonder if this “existential crisis” was brought to you by the same people that claimed WMD in Iraq, Russian collusion, that Covid vaccines work, […]
By Tyler O’Neil On June 1, businesses, government, and even churches will erect rainbow flags and publish proclamations about the importance of “Pride Month,” a celebration of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender identities. (Of course, the little plus sign means the list goes on and on, including queer, questioning, intersex, two-spirit, and more. One version […]
By Wolf Richter A cleansing process, long overdue, to whittle down the corporate debt overhang and clear out deadwood, at the expense of investors. It’s turning into a banner year for corporate bankruptcy filings, after years of Easy Money that caused all kinds of excesses, fueled by yield-chasing investors, in an environment where the Fed […]
