How, exactly, are these smarter-than-thou oligarchs planning to convince the American people and the rest of the civilized world to abandon modern capitalism?
Something in our health care system tastes like chicken. No, it’s not a new cough syrup. Rather, it’s the scheming between large hospitals and health insurance companies that’s been cooked.
The U.S. House of Representatives voted this week on a 2,300-page bill that includes tax breaks for wind and solar power that have already cost taxpayers a lot of money.
Last month, for the first time ever, the CIA began airing recruitment videos on entertainment, news and lifestyle streaming services. And the clandestine life appears to have its attractions.
As former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn noted in an excellent op-ed: It’s a battle of principalities taking place out there, all right, and the sooner freedom-loving Americans recognize these “dark forces” as the true enemy, the sooner freedom-loving Americans can get on with the business of winning back the country.
Though America has not declared war on another country and another 9/11 has not caught us napping, America is nonetheless at war.
The coronavirus case curve that had leveled out has once again veered skyward. Thankfully, the death rate has not. While political figures buffet them with recriminations over racial discord, Americans are figuring out ways of coping with the pandemic.
One state that will determine who controls the Senate is Georgia, which is holding two races, one being a special election. It features four-term Rep. Doug Collins trying to defeat newly appointed Sen. Kelly Loeffler and at least five other candidates
It was reported last week that in New York City alone some 272 officers have put in for retirement in the last month and that most of them are among the most experienced in the department.
One of the Freddy's Frozen Custard & Steakburgers in Fredericksburg, Virginia, has a policy requiring customers to wear face masks in order to receive in-facility service -- but at the same time exempts its own employees working in the food preparation area from having to cover their faces. Why? The answer is tortured logic.
Minneapolis City Council members who pressed hard to defund police have now turned around and voted themselves a private security detail that costs taxpayers roughly $4,500 a day. They've spent $63,000 so far, Fox News reported. This is hypocrisy at its worst; elitism and arrogance at its root.
The phone in your palm has the potential to hold more books than filled the vaunted Library of Alexandria. Your movie subscription service grants you access to more films than you have hours in your life to watch. And song? Well, pick any tune from day one of recorded music to the present and the likelihood is high that you can listen to it after five minutes of online searching. Put another way, thanks to digital technology, we are living in an unprecedented time with respect to access of American (indeed, global) arts and letters.
When I was a child watching news reels about Adolf Hitler, I wondered how such a man and his followers could have attained control of Germany. How could his Brownshirt thugs have run around unimpeded, attacking, burning, looting and intimidating the citizens? Now, at the age of 82, I am at last finding the answer to that question as I see the same horrifying scenario playing out in my own country. If it isn't stopped, we are heading for disaster.
Jacob Bruggeman is a graduate student in history ("Removing Confederate statues does not erase U.S. history," Web, June 25)? Laughable! Apparently his leftist professors and mentors have allowed him to proceed without challenge in his academic career as the biased, ignorant, intellectual pretender that he is.
Blaming long-dead generations and current national leaders for decades of mismanagement by Democratic local governments in our major cities is an attempt to shift responsibility, not seek solutions.
More than a million deceased people got government stimulus checks amounting to nearly $1.4 billion. This is less than 1 percent of the total stimulus payments that Congress shelled out as of April 30.
America faces a serious, pervasive and anonymous threat to national security. A top Pentagon official recently called it the "biggest concern [and] weakest link" in U.S. defense procurement.
Joe Biden said that as president, he would make the wearing of face masks mandatory for every man, woman and child in America. Let freedom reign? Not exactly. This seems to be the new normal: Government ordering citizens this way and that way; government deeming what's best for individuals, and dictating accordingly.
Rioters who have burned police stations, destroyed hundreds of businesses in dozens of cities and demanded defunding the police may reelect a president they despise.
The challenges imposed by social distancing in businesses and telecommuting leave little doubt the economy will be radically different going forward, but for ordinary investors -- saving for retirement and college tuition -- stocks remain the cornerstone of a sound strategy.
Parler, the emerging social media place for conservatives -- particularly for those conservatives who've been caught by the self-righteous censors of Big Tech trap -- has just toppled Twitter as the Number One "News App" on Apple's app store. Call it the rebellion of the free speech advocates. None too soon, either.
Democrats loathe Donald J. Trump. They hate him. In the truest sense of the word, they hate him. We all know reasonable rational people with whom we disagree on any number of issues, from baseball to restaurants to tax policy. Despite our differences, most manage to talk, to interact, to work and even to socialize together. Mention the president however and heads explode.
Welcome to a church that preaches collective blame rather than individual repentance, a church of enablement rather than evangelism, a church of riots rather than revival.
Liberal pundit Marie Harf said that "process," not mob violence, should dictate the outcomes of these structures, but that in the end, the Confederate statutes should be removed because the Confederates were "traitors" to the country. Spoken like a true elitist. Spoken like an elitist who's forgotten or worse, dismissed, historical truths.
The list of statues, memorials and monuments torn down, defaced or destroyed across America grows long. And now it's Baphomet's turn.
If the Emancipation Memorial is defaced, destroyed or removed from its prominence of Capitol Hill, so too would the history of African and Caribbean Americans.
Human progress is fueled by limitless flights of imagination. That's a good thing, except when the individual fantasy runs smack-dab into objective reality. Then it is best that the image so dear to one and so harmful to others remain a private reverie. Such is the case of young male athletes who claim to be young women, at least in their own minds. The physical advantage that lads have over lasses cannot be erased by wishful thinking, drugs or scalpels. Only the delusional refuse to accept that boys will be boys.
When is enough enough? We have had riots and murders in our streets for a month with Black Lives Matter leading the protesters and anarchists. This has turned into persecution of the white race and all cops, as well as anyone who is not Black.
I grew up in the era of the Civil War Centennial, when the fundamental view, as espoused in President Eisenhower's Proclamation, was that everyone who fought in that most horrible war was an American. Eisenhower understood that an essential component to achieving reconciliation between Black and White America was achieving reconciliation between the North and the South.
