Never Forget: 9/11
September 11, 2001 is the point that most Americans see as the beginning of the new century. That day took everything Americans had known beforehand and redefined it, setting the country on a tumultuous course. Seventeen years later, the tragedy of that day is still being reconciled. The effects of that day are still present […]
Obama Reminds America Why Trump Is President
“How hard can that be? Saying that Nazis are bad,” former President Barack Obama asked a crowd in Illinois last weekend. David Harsanyi, senior editor at The Federalist, has a couple of answers. Well, probably no harder than saying the words “radical Islam,” I imagine. Or maybe it’s slightly less difficult than not sending billions of dollars to Holocaust-denying terror […]
The Sad Death of New York’s Village Voice
In The American Conservative, Telly Davidson eulogizes the Village Voice, the famed New York alt-weekly paper headquartered on Maiden Lane. Davidson blames the counter culture paper’s downfall on its becoming “an insular clique rather than a sanctuary for brilliant misfits and rebels.” He writes (abridged): When I first heard about the death of the Village Voice on August […]

Ted Galen Carpenter, a senior fellow in defense and foreign policy studies at the Cato Institute, warns Washington D.C.’s foreign policy establishment against the danger of stoking tensions with Moscow. He explains at The American Conservative that the policy is unwise “on strategic as well as moral grounds.” He writes (abridged): For all of the loose […]
Not How the President Should Treat the Press
Last Friday in a speech, former President Obama said that, while he complained about Fox News, he never tried to shut down the news outlet or call it “an enemy of the people.” Not so fast, argues Mollie Hemmingway, senior editor at The Federalist. Obama took more punitive actions against the media during his time […]
“Diversity” A Luxury America Cannot Afford
Ann Coulter clarifies the left’s strategy to flood America with immigrants. The left is very close to having a governing majority due entirely to immigration. She writes (abridged): Now, they’re just running out the clock. Soon, we will have admitted so many immigrants that it will be too late to do anything. The very reason the […]
Cato’s Chris Edwards: Tax Reform and Interstate Migration
“I divided the country into the 25 highest-tax and 25 lowest-tax states by a measure of household taxes. In 2016, almost 600,000 people moved, on net, from the former to the latter,” writes Chris Edwards, director of tax policy studies at Cato in his study Tax Reform and Interstate Migration. “People are moving into low-tax […]
