When Degrees and Credentials Replace Wisdom and Knowledge
What does globalization mean? What we call globalization, writes Victor Davis Hanson, is what our forefathers called monopolies. “Jeans, t-shirts, and cool did not mean that the lifestyles and mindsets of a Mark Zuckerberg or Jeff Bezos were any different from their kindred spirits of the past—J.

Today, whether you’re talking CNN, NBC or MSNBC, anti-Trump coverage is “tendentious and nonstop, without the historical perspective” writes Patrick Maines in American Greatness.
