The fall of American farming: Looming but not inevitable

Few Iowans, myself included, would have initially predicted that Zach Lahn would come out on top in Iowa’s Republican gubernatorial primary. Regardless of the factors that shaped the outcome, the race sparked renewed discussion about issues facing rural communities, including the future of family farms, changing patterns of landownership, and the long-term economic health of […]

Spain is no longer a democracy

Spain’s crisis is no longer corruption. Corruption merely steals money. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez’s machine seeks to cripple the institutions capable of exposing the theft.

The alleged […]

Biden blunders made drug price controls even worse

The comically misnamed Inflation Reduction Act imposed government price controls on prescription drugs by replacing the old non-interference principal, which used market-average prices to set drug reimbursement, with a scheme that allows the Secretary of Health and Human Services to directly set prices via a sham negotiation, in which the manufacturer has to agree or […]

A cure worse than the disease?

Prescription drug prices are a serious burden in America, and perhaps the chief modern example of why good intentions do not always equal solutions.

The fallout in LA from Spencer Pratt’s fall

So, when all the votes were counted, the Los Angeles mayoral race was down to incumbent Karen Bass and city councilwoman Nithia Raman.  Spencer Pratt, we are told, entered the race too late and was unlikely to overcome the heavy Democratic Party registration advantage.

Businessman Elon Musk became the world’s first trillionaire last Friday, after his company SpaceX raised $75 billion through an initial public offering on Nasdaq, a price that placed SpaceX’s valuation at $2.1 trillion. The IPO also made millionaires of over 4,000 current and former SpaceX employees, facts which most Americans celebrated. But not Democrats. Sen. […]

SpaceX has launched approximately 80% or more of the world’s total payload mass to orbit in recent years, especially since 2023. In 2025 alone, the company delivered over 2,200 tons, accounting for more than 80% of global orbital mass, driven by high launch cadence and Starlink missions.
