Why Washington Shouldn't Be Worried About Inflaming China Relations

By Kenneth Rapoza, Industry Analyst for the Coalition for a Prosperous America

The Biden administration says it doesn't want to inflame China relations.  But, as China moves on Taiwan to take over its semiconductor and tech outsources like Foxconn in the future and as it holds the planet hostage in climate change talks to scare the climate fanatics in Washington, inflamed relations are the only way forward. If not, a return to a China-centric, pre-trade war status quo benefits stateless multinationals and maintains China as the world's key supplier of everything from solar equipment to the materials going into y our smartphone and EV car batteries.

Number of Concealed Carry Permits Surge Past 21.5 Million

Data released by the Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC) and John Lott show that the number of concealed carry permits in America has now surpassed 21.5 million. The CPRC study shows the exact number of concealed permits is over 21.52 million, which is a "48% increase since 2016." Moreover, the current number of permits represents "a 10.5% increase over the number of permits [CPRC] counted a year ago in 2020." [more...]

NIH Director Francis Collins isn't a National Treasure, He's a National Disgrace

By John G. West, VP and Sr. Fellow at the Discovery Institute

Francis Collins, director of the National Institutes of Health, announced he will be stepping down from his post by the end of 2021. Collins is probably the best known evangelical Christian in the federal science establishment, and among many Christians he has long held the status of a rock star, with people lining up for "selfies" with him at conferences. Collins’s announcement inspired a rush of accolades from his religious boosters. Evangelical political commentator David French called Collins "a national treasure," while theologian Russell Moore of Christianity Today magazine lauded Collins for his "wisdom, expertise, and most of all ... Christian humility and grace." I don't question the sincerity of Collins's faith. But Collins isn't a "national treasure." He’s a national disgrace. [more...]

Who is Really Running the Country?

By Wayne Allyn Root

Biden is not running America. Check out poor Joe's press conferences. As soon as his empty mind starts to wander, or the press asks him any question more difficult than, "What is your favorite flavor of ice cream?" someone cuts off his microphone. Who makes that decision? Who gives that order? Find that guy or group. Because they are clearly more powerful than the president of the United States. That guy or group is running our country. Joe doesn't know what he's saying. He doesn't know what he's signing. He's a puppet. He's a wooden dummy. But the real question is: Who is the ventriloquist? [more...]

Texas Bans Vax Mandates as Red States Revolt Against Biden

By Steve Turley

The fantastic free state of Texas does it again! Governor Gregg Abbott signed an executive order banning private businesses from forcing vaccine mandates on their employees or customers. This order expands a previous executive order that Abbott signed that prohibited all state agencies and all government institutions from requiring employees to get vaccinated. The brand new executive order is radically sweeping in its scope, in that it now includes all private businesses in Texas. It explicitly bans any entity in the state from enforcing a vaccine mandate of any kind. [more...]

Sly Stallone's Lost and Found Faith

By James Hirsen

Sly Stallone talked about his faith during a conference call that was hosted by Central Christian Church of Las Vegas's Pastor Jud Wilhite: "I was raised in a Catholic home, a Christian home, and I went to Catholic schools. I was taught the faith and went as far as I could with it until one day I got out into the so-called real world. I was presented with temptation and I lost my way and made a lot of bad choices," Sly shared. It would be the "bad choices" that would cause Sly to endure a dozen dark years away from his Christian roots. But he would eventually find his way back to the light. [more...]
