(Adam Turner) Since the disastrous U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan last August and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, it has felt like the world is on fire. But in the midst of these attention-grabbing crises, there is an even more pernicious threat facing the United States and the signs are all around us. Behind most major foreign policy issues lies China.

If Masks Work, Wear One — and If They Don’t, Why Mandate Them?
(Brian C. Joondeph, M.D.) This week, U.S. District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle struck down the Biden administration’s mask mandate for airplanes and other public transportation methods.
American Churches are Killing Christianity
(M.B. Mathews) Matt Walsh’s latest book, Church of Cowards. A Wake-Up Call to Complacent Christians rips contemporary Christians a new one. Before he discusses the theologically sound aspects of the Christian church in America, he takes many of them to task along with their perverse theology. He admonishes Christians for their craven cowardice in the face of woke liberalism and perverse sexual ideologies. Walsh’s justifiable diatribes are spot on. The Church in America must get aggressive about removing secularist practices. Among the complexities of the book, Walsh has this to say about pastors officiating at gay weddings:
It’s Not Businesses Conservatives Should Worry About
(Allan Stevo) On War Room, Steve Cortes recently declared Big Business an enemy to conservatives. Cortes could have taken it further and announced Big Business an enemy to the people of the United States.
Carbon Dioxide and Climate – Friend or Foe?
(Brian C. Joondeph) In global warming circles, carbon dioxide is the bogey man, the cause of all evils. CO2 is another Vladimir Putin, blamed for rising gasoline prices and President Biden’s 8.5 percent inflation. Just as Putin isn’t responsible for consumer prices, which began rising shortly after Biden took office, CO2 may not be the bogey man hiding under the beds of Greta Thunberg and Al Gore, ready to pop out and consume the world.
Medicine as a Subjective Good
(Dan Sutter) Americans’ freedom was suspended during the COVID-19 pandemic in part to prevent overwhelming the health care system. A shortage of hospital and intensive care unit (ICU) beds allegedly justified some of the most radical suspensions of liberty in American history: business shutdowns, school closures, and stay-at-home orders.
Why Mitch McConnell?
(J. Robert Smith) If we’ve heard it once, we’ve heard it a million times: 80-year-old Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell is the indispensable man. McConnell’s indispensability, we’re told, stems from his skill in shepherding Republican judicial nominees through the process and onto the federal bench. Alternatively, McConnell’s mastery of Senate rules keeps more than a few Democrats off the bench. This is practically lore among Republicans.
Mounting U.S. Debt and Misguided Foreign Policy Risk a Dollar Doomsday
(Scott S. Powell) The U.S. dollar is getting perilously close to losing its status as the world’s reserve currency, and there is less room than ever for error on the international stage. Blunders in U.S. foreign policy are likely to have more harmful effects on both our allies and our enemies than in the past given the sorry record of the Biden administration. Should the U.S. dollar be knocked out of its position as the reserve currency, hell would break lose across global markets.
Why BRICS and MINT Might Save Russia and Sink the US
(Robert Oscar Lopez) In 2001, a Goldman Sachs economist named Jim O’Neill thought of the term “BRIC” to describe a bloc of countries, which he believed would grow from “emerging economies” to the dominant force in global trade (Rached 91). At the time, O’Neill predicted that the four countries encompassed in the acronym—Brazil, Russia, India, and China—would eventually outpace and eclipse what were then known as the G8 countries: the United States, Canada, Great Britain, Germany, France, Italy, Russia, and Japan.
Equity and ‘Equity-speak’
(Daniel Fletcher) Why, I wonder, do my colleagues speak “equity-speak.”
Time to Recalibrate the Doomsday Clock
(Noel S. Williams) The Doomsday Clock is so broken that it is not even right twice a day. It currently sits at one hundred seconds before midnight, having not ticked since 2020. That’s right, despite a sociopath in the Kremlin and an imbecile in the W.H., the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists occupies land that Doomsday time forgot.
What Disproves the ‘White Supremacy’ Narrative
(William Sullivan) Selling Marxism has been a tough row to hoe in America, though that’s not to say that those selling it haven’t made inroads toward getting us there. But our laissez-faire roots and inherent disdain for the anti-freedom control mechanisms needed to sustain outright communism have made it difficult for the peddlers to find the necessary buyers over the years. That’s why they’ve gotten creative in recent decades, finding their magic beans, so to speak, by suggesting that “people of color” tend to be financially less well-off than white people, thereby establishing racial inequity as a substitute for class struggle.
The Real Reset is Coming… But Not the One the Elites Expect
(Ron Wright) “The ‘Real Reset’ is Coming,” As Victor Davis Hanson writes on the upcoming midterm elections
Thomas Sowell, Monument to Intelligent Insight
(John Dale Dunn) Thomas Sowell is an American literary and philosophical icon — a prolific genius who has graced us with his presence and his extraordinary essays, books and lectures for more than 50 years. Consider that his career as a writer and public intellectual was delayed by a tumultuous youth and service in the Marines, so he didn’t even get started on his life’s work as a remarkable economist, philosopher, social scientist until he was almost 30.
We Must Make America Our Own
(Christopher Chantrill) Back in 2020 Joe Biden said he was running to save the world from Climate Change and Systemic Racism. How’s that coming along Joey? What? Can’t hear you down in the basement! What? You’re too busy saving the world from Putin? O-Kay.
