Black Grievances and White Guilt

By Michael Brandow

We hear it every day in the news - they want reparations, America is systematically racist - you name it. Here's the answer to all those characterizations that plague America: What's the Problem Now? Black Grievances and White Guilt is a new satirical book by social commentator, Michael Brandow, a modern-day combination of Joan Rivers and Lenny Bruce. It is an 'old white guy's' witty and insightful account of his struggle to survive in New York City without becoming an actual racist. He says right out loud what the rest of us are thinking.

Federal Action to Reduce Violence Should Focus on Mental Health

By Tim Murphy, Author of The Christ Cure

Those who need help most face the greatest difficulty in getting treatment.

While the students in Parkland plan their actions to get legislative attention, Congress is still wrestling with what to do. Gun-access restrictions, security measures, and arming teachers are all on the table. We've seen this before: lawmakers focusing more on what is in someone's hands than on what is in his mind. The president has rightly said this is partly a mental-health issue that must be addressed. If lawmakers want to make a difference and not just a law, they will act on the understanding that improving mental-health treatment rather than gun laws is the most cost-effective way to save lives. [more...]

Government Incentives for Niche Sectors of Economy Leads to "Manufacturing Boom"

By Kenneth Rapoza

There is a "manufacturing boom" taking place in the U.S., if you had not noticed, and it is mostly due to incentives for solar and new energy technologies like EV batteries in the Inflation Reduction Act, and semiconductors in the CHIPS Act, the Wall Street Journal says. On June 26, the Commerce Department reported May construction spending figures, with overall spending rising a seasonally adjusted 0.9% from a month earlier. An important piece of that was spending on the construction of manufacturing facilities. This was up 1% in May from April, or 76.3% from a year earlier, the WSJ reported. [more...]

What is NATO Actually For?

By Daniel Greenfield

Governments, once created, are all but impossible to uncreate even if no one can precisely define what they're for. Take NATO. During the Cold War, its purpose was fairly obvious; after the Cold War it doesn't really have one. Ukraine's request to join NATO is helpfully clarifying in that sense. Having Ukraine join NATO would pretty clearly define its mission as countering Russia. But then again that's why countries like Poland wanted to be part of NATO to begin with. Eastern Europe doesn't especially like Western Europe, but the latter has useful markets and an even more useful military to keep the Russians from reclaiming their empire. [more...]

GOP Notches a Victory Battle for Healthcare

By Sally Pipes

Any time lawmakers can introduce greater choice and dynamism into the health insurance market, patients benefit. The CHOICE Arrangement Act, which passed the House last month, is a perfect example. The bill would codify the so-called "individual coverage health reimbursement arrangements," or ICHRAs, established through executive order by President Trump in 2019. ICHRAs allow employers to offer their workers tax-free cash to help pay for coverage on the individual market. As such, they represent a more personalized and portable alternative to employer-sponsored health insurance - something many Americans would gladly welcome. [more...]

My Latest Interview with President Trump

By Wayne Allyn Root, Author of The Great Patriot BUY-cott Book

I’m proud and honored to call President Donald J. Trump a friend. And even more proud that I just had an exclusive interview with the 45th president of the United States. Here are the highlights. I started the interview with a revelation. The man is the most popular human being on planet Earth. I'm a witness. In our interview, Trump took the gloves off. "Joe Biden is a stone-cold crook... common thief... low life... and a stupid person. Biden and his people are bad people. Not just incompetent... bad people. Who would want an open border? They know what they're doing." [Read on...]
