In 1815, with Commodore Stephen Decatur’s guns trained on his harbor, the Dey of Algiers signed a treaty with the United States, then told the Americans what he thought of it: My power has been wrested from my hands. Draw the treaty at your pleasure, and I will sign it. But beware the moment I […]
There was a time not too long ago when the relationship between Canada and the United States was positive and nearly impenetrable. Our two countries have been close friends, allies, and trade partners for many years. Canadian and American leaders have obviously had moments of disagreement related to trade, tariffs, border security, declarations of war, […]
If Jesus Christ did not rise from the dead, 2,000 years of Christian preaching would be in vain — and the world as we know it would look completely different. That is the central theme of Malcolm Muggeridge’s Jesus, the Man Who Lives, and it’s his strongest position in a book that contains many inconsistent […]
A woman looks back on how her younger self enjoyed the highs and endured the lows of first love. Her high school sweetheart was Ace, who was two years older than her and drove a Chevy convertible.

The Endangered Species Act of 1973 is one of the most powerful environmental laws ever enacted. It can halt construction, restrict farming and ranching, block energy projects, and place vast areas of private land under federal control.

Americans are having fewer babies than ever before, and the birth rate keeps falling every year — down about 25% from just 20 years ago.

There is no industry too large and no job too small that California Democrats can’t manage to destroy with destructive micromanaging. A study from the National Bureau of Economic Research analyzed the effects of California’s fast food minimum wage hike, which increased the industry’s minimum wage to $20 per hour (and can continue increasing it over the next several years). The researchers’ […]

Russian President Vladimir Putin’s strategy in Ukraine is increasingly clear for all to see: strategic patience.
