Disneyland Gets Ready for a 'Grand' Re-opening

By James Hirsen

While Walt Disney World in Florida and other Disney parks have already re-opened, the iconic California theme park that launched the others has been a literal ghost town for over a year. Employees and fans galore have been anxiously waiting to hear when California's major theme parks would be brought back to life. Well, there's a date now. The Disneyland Resort, which includes Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park, are set to re-open at the end of April. Unfortunately, everything is going to look wildly different from the pre-COVID Disneyland. In order to comply with governmental requirements, Disney will manage attendance through a new theme park reservation system, which will require that all guests book dates in advance. Masks for guests over the age of 2 and requisite social distancing will also be a part of the re-opening plan. [more...]

We Need Greater Transparency to Improve the U.S. Healthcare System

By Wayne Winegarden

It is well known that lack of transparency in healthcare has led to massive and inappropriate profiteering by all kinds of healthcare actors, to the detriment of the true payors: patients, employers, and the government. Without a transparent health system, patients can be harmed when they decide to enroll in insurance plans that contain large deductibles or co-insurance payments or insurance plans that institute policies like accumulators which keep them in a perpetual deductible phase. Such harm is befallen upon patients because they don't know and can't estimate in advance their out-of-pocket costs due to lack of transparency. Transparency is also essential to ensure the intended outcomes of certain business practices meet the goals of the policy. [more...]

Requiring a Photo ID to Vote is Racist?

By Karen Kataline

How gullible must a person be to believe that it is racist to require every citizen to show a photo ID to vote? The media is "trumping up" another boycott by suggesting that people are furious at Georgia's recent new legislation that requires exactly that. Apparently, the recent news that Coca-Cola held blatantly racist "diversity training" for its employees telling them to be "less white" wasn't enough. Now they have to be boycotted for originating in the same state as this supposedly offensive legislation. "Woke," of course, is never woke enough. [more...]

Unintended Consequences of More Gun Control

By Nikki Goeser

As I watched the Senate hearing on gun control last week, I cringed at some of the gun control proposals promoted in the name of public safety. Many people want to "do something" to stop what some call "gun violence." I call it violence because I realize that violence is a behavior, not an object. Guns are used every single day in the United States to protect innocent lives. It is a point often overlooked by gun control proponents who choose to ignore justifiable defensive use of guns to protect innocent lives. I am a victim of a violent crime myself. My husband Ben was shot seven times and killed in front of me by my stalker. I never blamed the gun or pushed for more gun control because I realized that is not the problem.

Nikki Goeser wrote about her experience in her book, Stalked and Defenseless. She wants to save others from the suffering she endured after gun control laws left her defenseless. Nikki is the Executive Director of the Crime Prevention Research Center. [more...]

America in Free Fall Reshaping World Order

By Brigitte Gabriel

This past weekend, China and Iran, two countries who hate us, locked arms in a 25-year strategic deal that will undermine and weaken America in the Middle East, reshaping power and influence in the region. This deal will solidify Iran and China's military coordination including military training, weapons research and development and intelligence sharing. This deal, dubbed the "Comprehensive Strategic Partnership," will be a 25-year partnership between China and Iran which lays out a clear path for their partnership in the areas of defense, trade, economy, culture and security. The deal includes a $400 billion investment into the Iranian Mullahcracy which funds terror groups on four continents in exchange for oil.  Do you get it now, Biden and AOC? China has no intention of reducing its own oil and gas use. Meanwhile, Biden is letting Iran walk all over us. While Trump put tough sanctions on Iran, Biden campaigned on restoring the failed and dangerous Iranian nuclear deal. [more...]
