Back in 1986, members of the Reagan cabinet said they were willing to take drug tests to set an example for federal workers and the public. That caught the attention of Jay Leno, who recommended IQ tests instead. Better still, Wayne Allyn Root now contends, would be lie detector tests, an idea that “threatens the…
The Biden Administration has once again demonstrated its inability to protect America’s digital infrastructure, leaving critical systems vulnerable to foreign adversaries. While much of the media focused on distractions like former President Trump’s legal troubles and Hunter Biden’s plea deal, a growing cyber threat has gone unaddressed. The administration’s neglect has allowed malicious actors to…
In the wake of 25 years of Chinese naval expansion and the relative silence of U.S. flag officers, it is time for them to speak up. In 1949, as Americans began to recognize the peace they had fought for in World War II was being threatened by Stalin and the Communist Party of the Soviet…
A man enjoying the fruits of modernity is every bit as subject to the same disasters and calamities as his ancestors. But do we know it? When the Titanic sank, G.K. Chesterton wrote an essay called “The Great Shipwreck As An Analogy.” Now that this same ship has unexpectedly become the site of another tragedy…
Record numbers of violent fugitives are confirmed to be among the surge of aliens entering the United States illegally. The Biden Administration steadfastly refuses to use existing federal programs funded by American taxpayers to track aliens and ensure compliance with mandatory immigration proceedings. Something must change. Last month, U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement highlighted their…
The International Energy Agency (IEA) has positioned itself as an enabler of extreme climate policies, endorsing a net zero emissions agenda that undermines global economic stability. Two years ago, the IEA’s Net Zero by 2050: A Roadmap for the Global Energy Sector seemingly legitimized efforts by climate activists and ESG investors to halt investment in…
Ukraine’s counteroffensive has collapsed under the weight of its own hubris, exposing the catastrophic failure of its military leadership. Despite grandiose promises from figures like former American general David Petraeus, who claimed the Ukrainians would achieve “significant breakthroughs,” the operation has stalled, leaving troops and equipment in ruins. The Ukrainian army’s inability to advance reflects…
The grand jury indictment process must be reevaluated to minimize abuses, especially now that the lead Republican presidential candidate has been indicted. Last April, in a rather bold move, New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg indicted former President Donald Trump with nearly three dozen felonies relating to hush money payments prior to his time in…
Wokeness was framed as a movement to unite the oppressed under intersectional solidarity, but it has instead fractured society. The ideology positioned marginalized groups against a supposed “white male heterosexual victimizing class,” demanding reparations and radical social changes. Yet, its top-down agenda—pushing transgender rights, defunding police, and rewriting history—has eroded civic order. The woke framework…
The People’s Republic of China (PRC) has emerged as the most formidable peer competitor to the United States in its history, a reality that underscores the failures of U.S. presidential leadership. The foundation for the PRC’s rapid ascent was laid by Deng Xiaoping, but this growth could not have occurred without significant U.S. support and…
