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.

This week, undercover videos showed administrators at the University of Tennessee admitting that they are merely changing the name of their race- and gender-based programs to skirt Trump’s orders. “It’s […]
“The purpose of a system is what it does,” British theorist Stafford Beer once observed. For decades, federal and state governments poured tens of billions of dollars into programs to reduce homelessness, providing free housing and treatment later.
