For institutions that charge tens of thousands of dollars each year in tuition and that leave college students significantly in debt under the guise of providing them with a proper education, colleges and universities should not be able to get away with many of the things described as classes on campuses. These range from courses […]
Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley may be running for president against former President Donald Trump, but that hasn’t stopped rampant speculation that she could be his vice presidential pick. In a recent interview with the New York Post, Trump campaign surrogate Jason Miller refused to rule out the idea that Trump would pick Haley as […]
By Caroline Melear We are extremely fortunate to have an abundance of affordable food options in our grocery stores. Theoretically, this is, in part, thanks to a government program that protects farmers from weather and natural disasters and also ensures that food prices remain affordable and stable. The federal crop insurance program has provided this […]
When Paul Krugman isn’t busy trying to pretend that year three of the worst inflationary crisis in 40 years is merely transitory, the once-esteemed Nobel laureate is trying to justify said inflation with the supposed sole benefits of “Bidenomics“: Namely, we’ve achieved the white whale of full employment while shrinking income inequality. There’s just one […]
Harvard psychiatrist Armand Nicholi taught a popular course on “The Question of God,” examining Sigmund Freud’s atheism and C.S. Lewis’s faith. Now a related Sony theatrical film imagines that the two met in London shortly before Freud’s death. The result is a fascinating historical drama probing their intellectual, emotional, psychological, and spiritual development. Anthony Hopkins is masterful […]
By Parker Miller North Korea just radically revised its constitutional policy toward South Korea, and Americans should take it as a sign that the potential for a second Korean War is increasingly likely if we do not strongly assert ourselves on the global stage. In previous years, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un had remained […]
The next issue of New York Magazine is devoted almost entirely to the promotion of polyamory, including a lengthy feature story titled “A Practical Guide to Modern Polyamory: How to open things up for the curious couple.” I just wrote about why polyamory doesn’t work in response to a New Yorker article promoting polyamory here, […]
If racism is America’s original sin, then Democrats and others on the Left are the biblical Babylonians of the 21st century. For a group of people who claim to want racism gone, they wickedly do everything possible to make sure it remains alive — or at least the insinuation of it. Incidentally, this phenomenon is […]
At Fairfax County’s school board meeting last week, Leslie Houston, the Fairfax Education Association president, was clear that teachers unions want parents out of the picture. During her testimony, she advised the district’s school board to “champion public education … Disregard your skeptics … Continue leveraging our expertise.” “Expertise” is an interesting word for Houston […]
An agreement was reached this week to restore tax breaks for businesses and to increase child tax credit benefits for lower-income families. The deal was negotiated by Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR), chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, and congressman Jason Smith (R-MI), chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee. The legislators say the bill […]
The Biden administration’s attempt to sneak through regulations that would fundamentally redefine business for the sake of its radical climate agenda almost worked. The Securities and Exchange Commission was a mere two weeks away from approving a new rule that would greenlight the New York Stock Exchange’s request to list a radically new class of […]
Give credit to Rep. Gary Palmer (R-AL) for trying to reverse a perverse decision by President Joe Biden that forces Social Security recipients to take Medicare benefits even when they don’t want to. Palmer’s Retirement Freedom Act serves the causes of both individual choice and of fiscal discipline, saving taxpayer dollars while perhaps leading to […]
