Don’t be fooled by government or media propaganda—the Biden border crisis is as horrendous as ever. In fact, instead of the touted “decrease” in illegal alien crossings, former Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Commissioner Mark Morgan reportedly found “increases in port-of-entry encounters that coincide with the rollout of” the Biden administration program used to hide […]
Vivek Ramaswamy, a Republican candidate for President, has a strong position on central bank digital currencies (CBDC): “Hell no.” His proposals for reforming the Fed have major problems, but his views on financial freedom and privacy are unimpeachable. A CBDC would give the government unprecedented access to and control over private transactions. Allowing the Fed […]

We live in a time when our Founding is either taken for granted (it’s a day to picnic) or is degraded altogether. Now popular is the notion that the Founding was in 1619 and the nation was born in the sin of slavery. That is all that is important about our history, our failings. That […]

The phrase that was popular during America’s own revolution owes a hat tip to a famous Englishman, who took a stand against King Charles I’s “ship tax”. Ask most Americans where the slogan “No taxation without representation!” came from and the likely response will be “American colonists protesting against Britain in the 1760s.” But the […]

On Independence Day, Americans rightly honor our Founding Fathers for their courage and sacrifice. George Washington is arguably the most important figure in U.S. history, and his wife, Martha Washington, was a constant support during his career. Martha Washington didn’t have an easy life. Her first husband, Daniel Parke Custis, died after the couple had been married […]

It’s not capitalism. It’s not socialism. The new word we are hearing these days is the right word: corporatism. It refers to the merger of industry and state into a unit with the purpose of achieving some grand visionary end, the liberty of individuals be damned.

The woke well is bottomless. Johns Hopkins University recently updated the “LGBTQ Glossary” in its so-called inclusive language guide with a new definition for “lesbian.” A lesbian, according to the famed Baltimore university’s guide, should be referred to as a “non-man attracted to non-men.” A broad definition, right?
