Russian President Vladimir Putin’s Twitter account, which has 1.5 million followers, remained active as of Friday, as Putin’s forces continue their invasion of Ukraine and attacks on the […]
Food for thought in light of the biggest stock market bubble in the US ever. Major European stock indices plunged below their bubble highs from over two decades ago. This is not to say that they plunged that much this week, but that they had finally risen past their prior bubble highs from over two decades ago, […]

The Goldwater Institute won a victory for taxpayers this morning when the Arizona Supreme Court struck down Pinal County’s illegal transportation excise tax. Goldwater represented a group of taxpayers and business owners in challenging the tax, which, among other things, only applied to purchases of less than $10,000, with the consequence that the tax burden fell primarily […]
For more than 40 years, the environmentalist movement has been warning that global warming is the result of mankind’s burning of fossil fuels and poses an “existential threat” to human and other biological life. This is one of the many grandiose lies the Left uses to reshape, if not destroy, Western civilization. Other grandiose lies […]

The nomination of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to fill the vacancy on the U.S. Supreme Court following the retirement of Associate Justice Stephen Breyer later this year raises alarms, the Second Amendment Foundation said today. “Just the endorsements Judge Jackson’s nomination is receiving should be enough to cause concern,” said SAF founder and Executive Vice […]

Following the 2019-2020 Hong Kong protests, former CEO of HSBC Asia, Peter Tung-shun Wong, supported the National Security Law, which Secretary of State Blinken said: “systematically undermined Hong Kong’s democratic institutions.” Wong is a member of a core Chinese Communist Party organization that oversees one of the nation’s most influential propaganda and intelligence agencies, the […]
The consequences are myriad. Some are quite visible while some are only now becoming evident. Some are intended, and some are unintended. Almost all of them are not good. Among the more obvious are that war destroys a lot of wealth. Don’t buy for a moment that war spending stimulates economies. The French economist Frederic Bastiat […]

It would appear that leftists don’t actually like a lot of the radical policies they have been advocating for since the beginning of the lockdowns and the death of George Floyd in spring 2020.

As Big Tech gatekeepers like Google and Amazon face long-overdue scrutiny in Washington for anti-competitive practices that limit choice and reduce quality online, they have resorted to a national security defense: Breaking us up, they claim, will only help China. It’s an ironic move. These tech giants have extensive, well-documented ties to Beijing, doing high-volume […]

With exquisite timing, the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has seized the opportunity of Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine to warn of impending doom – not from Putin’s putting Russia’s nuclear forces on high alert, but from countries failing to reduce their carbon emissions. “Climate change is killing people,” said Helen Adams […]
