America’s Descent Into Madness
Continuing on his theme of America’s Descent Into Madness, Victor Davis Hanson trashes, along with immigration, Crime as another American absurdity. In what seems like a mini-industry of Internet videos showing young people, a disproportionate of whom are African American males, stealing luxury goods from Neiman-Marcus in San Fran, or swiping clean a shelf at […]
Door-to-Door Bullying of the Unvaccinated?
If what is happening at our southern border continues, the U.S could see two million people entering en mass and illegally over a 12-month period. That would be the equivalent of adding a major U.S. city every year, explains Victor Davis Hanson, who lists what the new arrivals have in common: Their first act was […]
Freidman: Inflation Is a Monetary Phenom
“Inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon.” (Milton Friedman) M2 Not Important?

Master Class: How to Suck Air out of the Economy
It’s not easy to watch the economy being strangled. In the WSJ, Andy Kessler refers to Ibram X.

U.S. to Reject Cuban Refugees Fleeing by Boat?
Reporting on the building crisis in Cuba/Haiti, BRIGHT editors observe: Cartels sending unaccompanied children across the U.S.-Mexico border for profit, fine.

Florida, Texas, Montana Against COVID Coercion
Originally posted on April 20, 2021. Will you need a COVID vaccine passport to return to work or travel, to attend a sports event or a family wedding?

Biden’s Speech: “A Jim Crow Assault” on Election Security?
In what David Harsanyi calls “fabricated panic,” Joe Biden offered lots of hyperbole and precious little substance. The president called the laws “odious,” “pernicious,” “vicious,” and “unconscionable,” a “subversion and suppression,” the “21st-century Jim Crow,” and the sure sign of an emerging “autocracy.” Joe Biden, speaking at the National Constitutional Center in Philadelphia on Tuesday, […]
