Biden's 'Guns First' Approach to Violent Crime Ignores Basic Facts

By Dr. John Lott

With violent crime increasing over the last two years, Americans want a solution. But Joe Biden constantly frames violent crime as only a gun problem. Again, it was the sole focus of Biden's speech in New York City last Thursday. Even when he mentions police or prosecutors, it was in terms of enforcing gun control laws. But this "guns first" approach ignores a basic fact – over 92% of violent crimes in America do not involve firearms. And while Biden blames guns for the increase in violent crime, the latest data show that gun crimes fell dramatically. [more...]

Rediscovering America

By Scott S. Powell

Most engaged citizens are aware that America likely faces more turmoil because of lost confidence in national leadership, election irregularities, overrun borders, extraordinarily lax law enforcement, almost no penalties for those engaged in massive law-breaking and the wholesale destruction of property in 2020. But just as the United States is now seemingly under unprecedented attack from every side, my new book Rediscovering America addresses these challenges head-on by succinctly explaining why the discovery and founding of America and its rapid rise as a world power happened for good reasons and not by chance. [more...]

Olympics and the Chinese Human Rights Abusers

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

Anta Sports is Chinese. They are the official merch shop of the Olympic Committee. Anta said it will continue making its gear - from coats to sneakers - from cotton harvested in Xinjiang, which is banned in the U.S. due to prison labor there. Nike cannot make a shirt with Xinjiang cotton and sell it to the U.S., for instance. Neither can Anta for that matter. But Wall Street firms can still buy Anta's shares. There is a call to put Anta and other Chinese human rights abusers on the Treasury Department's capital markets sanctions list, just like China's defense contractors (which Wall Street giants all invested in, by the way).

Making Sense of the Insane Journalism Competition and Preservation Act 

By Patrick Wood

The Senate Judiciary Committee currently has its hand on the Journalism Competition and Preservation Act (S.673), and it has sparked a dialectical debate that is beyond comprehension. As a journalist and news content provider, I will attempt to bring some clarity to the table. The bill was originally introduced on March 10, 2021 by Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) and went nowhere. Since then, it has picked up a total of seven co-sponsors from both parties, gaining enough steam to get it assigned for review by the Senate Judiciary Committee. Many of the so-called conservative media world should be ashamed of themselves for selling out to unconstitutional and immoral principles, thus exposing their own money-grubbing organizations.

You Can Call White People Evil, But Don't Criticize Affirmative Action

By Daniel Greenfield

The racist double standard at Georgetown University is glaringly obvious. Even the mildest criticism of the racist idea that candidates for the highest court in the land should be selected based on their race meets with furious condemnation and an unlawful suspension of a respected constitutional expert. Meanwhile, even the most vicious rhetoric from faculty members about how much they hate white people, men, Republicans, and everyone who is different than they are, is fine. Georgetown University's faculty handbook claims that it "is committed to free and open inquiry, deliberation and debate in all matters” and the “untrammeled verbal and nonverbal expression of ideas” and insists that it gives all "members of the University community, including faculty, students, and staff, the broadest possible latitude to speak." ...except on affirmative action.

College - A Good Value or Buyer's Remorse for Parents?

By Prof. John Ellis

There have always been plenty of good reasons to send your children to college, but do those reasons still hold up today? Many colleges and universities are now heavily corrupted by radical politics, and it's surely time to revisit those reasons. Is college still the best use of four years of your children's lives, and a cash outlay in excess of a hundred thousand dollars? The foremost reason for college was always that graduates would have learned to become independent thinkers, self-starting problem solvers who knew how to analyze complex issues and come up with solutions. Still true today? [more...]
