America's China Gamble
By Lowell Ponte
Today the People's Republic of China celebrates its 70th
birthday as the world's biggest and richest Communist state. In 1972, President
Richard Nixon bet America's future on our ability to turn China capitalist before
we made it so rich that it could buy a military capable of defeating us. Today
many Americans are teaching their children Spanish and their grandchildren Chinese
because we may be losing Nixon's gamble. This column looks at how we nearly
won, creating a kind of merger with China that one historian called
"Chimerica." For a time, Communist China even appeared to be
becoming Christian. President Trump's trade negotiations with China will
resume after its October birthday party ends. [more...]
Clint Eastwood's Latest Film Tells Richard Jewell's Tragic Story
By James Hirsen
Like so many of the characters he portrays on the big screen,
the Clint Eastwood of real life is an unapologetic iconoclast who refuses to
conform to the politically correct ideology of Hollywood. In deciding on the
location for his latest film, Clint chose the state of Georgia, ignoring the
many calls by celebrity peers to boycott the state because of its passage of
life affirming “heartbeat” legislation. The legislative measure prohibits
abortions after a baby’s heartbeat can be detected. Major studios that film in
Georgia, including Netflix, Disney, and AMC, have indicated that they may move
their productions out of the state. Clint refused to buy into it. His latest
cinematic project, “The Ballad of Richard Jewell,” was filmed in Georgia
because that happens to be where the real-life events that are portrayed in the
movie took place. [more...]
Why the Swamp is Desperate to Overthrow the
most Successful President in Decades
By Karen Kataline
The biggest lie of all is that these politicians and un-elected bureaucrats ever wanted to lower unemployment (minority or otherwise), make us energy independent, increase opportunities for the prosperity of everyday citizens, secure our borders and protect our sovereignty. The fact that President Trump has made these the centerpiece issues of his agenda and even worse, is actually accomplishing these things in record time is the real reason they have been fomenting blind and irrational hatred of him by any means necessary. That has included but hasn’t been limited to spying on him, defaming and framing him. [more...]

Living in a Post-Truth World
By Robert Curry
Post-truth people in the
media were taught that the concept of truth is obsolete. Postmodernism rules on
American campuses today, and a core idea of the postmodernists is that claims
to truth are meaningless. The post-truth era promises to be a wild ride. For example, in a trial
we must swear our testimony will be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but
the truth - but if there is no such thing as truth, what does that oath mean?
For that matter, what does it mean for someone to make a promise if there is no
truth? Once upon a time, reporters in America at least claimed to be professionally
dedicated to finding the truth and reporting the news, but no more. How
much of what you hear on CNN or read in the New York Times can you believe? [more...]
Online Dating is Like Investing
By Crista Huff
In the profile section where it asks you about
the most important qualities that you’re looking for in a person, the first
word I used was athletic. It’s not that I’m only interested in dating
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. Rather, it’s because they live to be 100 in my
family. I don’t want to fall in love with a somewhat unhealthy person who
doesn’t watch their calories, doesn’t exercise, and will probably die when I’m
age 70, leaving me without an excellent companion for my 30 remaining years. I
want to increase the odds that I will be able to find a wonderful person and
enjoy their company for decades to come – not just a decade. [more...]
