The Michigan GOP Must Reform to Win

By Perry Johnson, Former Presidential Candidate

The Michigan Republican Party, like its national counterpart, must take stock of its failures and begin a new chapter if it wishes to take down Joe Biden and the Democrats in the Republican primary and general election next year. Last year, the party lost its majority in the state Legislature for the first time in 40 years – a crushing and demoralizing defeat for Republican voters across the state. Yet there appears to have been little effort made throughout the past year to reform the state party and ready it for next year’s elections. [more...]

Decline in New Gun Permits Doesn't Tell Whole Story About How Many Americans Carry

By Dr. John Lott

Foxnews.com recently reported: Gun Crime Expert Blasts Red State 'Cherry-Picking' By Yale Professor in Senate Hearing: 'Political Bias'. A Republican senator and Yale School of Public Health dean sparred on gun crime, and I told Fox News Digital it was an example of how the left frames data in a way that misleadingly makes it seem like Republican-controlled areas are most plagued by crime. Also, the number of concealed carry permit holders in the U.S. dropped slightly this year, but the number of Americans carrying a concealed firearm has likely increased overall due to more than half of U.S. states enacting laws that do not require eligible residents to obtain a permit, according to the author of a new study examining gun data. I've been tracking the number of concealed carry permits since 1998, and what you find is that this is the first year that there’s actually been a drop in the number of concealed carry permits. It’s not very much, but you basically see two different types of states. In the constitutional carry states, there was a drop. In all the other states, there was an increase. [more...]

Climate Worshippers Gather in Oil-Rich UAE to Pray to Pagan God of Green

Let the hypocrisy and elitism begin!

By Cheryl Chumley

Secretary-General of the United Nations Antonio Guterres kicked off COP28 in United Arab Emirates, land of oil, by talking about a couple of melting glaciers as proof of the need for people to stop driving, flying, eating meat and using gas stoves, and then adding - in reference to the droughts and floods that follow ice melts: "but this is just one symptom of the sickness bringing our climate to its knees" (whatever that means). At this point, does it even matter what the climate alarmists say? Those who worship the green goddess of environmentalism know they don't even have to take a stab at talking real science anymore. [more...]

Grievance-Based Policy Analysis

By Bruce Gilley, Author of The Case For Colonialism

Since the Nixon administration, the federal government has been required to justify the use of public resources using benefit-cost analysis. This method, known as BCA, says that a regulation or a spending item should be approved only if the expected benefits exceed the expected costs. Earlier this year, the Biden administration finalized new rules that will allow bureaucrats to juice the results of BCA in favor of privileged identity groups. This risks undermining the integrity of BCA as a tool for rational policy debate and politicizing one of the last non-political areas of government decision-making. Those revisions were all confirmed in the final rules issued on November 9. [more...]

Geert Wilders and the Liberal Jewish Intelligentsia

By Andrew Bostom, Author of The Legacy of Islamic Antisemitism

Support for truthtellers about Islam and antisemitism is the litmus test for liberal Jews' post-Oct. 7 awakening.

An alleged post-October 7, 2023 epiphany of the liberal Jewish intelligentsia has occurred, embodied by journalist Bari Weiss, and her much ballyhooed 11/10/23 Federalist Society speech. In that address, Ms. Weiss proclaimed, "Look at your enemies and your allies... I know that in the fight for the West, I know who my allies are." I maintain that unequivocal support for Geert Wilders and the PVV - bold, informed truthtellers on Islam and the Jews - is a litmus test for the "post-October 7th" sincerity of Bari Weiss, and other avatars of the liberal Jewish intelligentsia.

Venezuela Threatens War with Next Door Guyana

By Colonel (Ret.) John Mills, Author of War Against the Deep State

Maduro comes back from meeting Xi and has his orders to descend the Americas into war... 'America First' means keeping China out of America's front yard.

This possible war is a result of the failure of America to enforce the Monroe Doctrine. The last 50 years have seen the United States disappear from Central and South America leaving behind massive vacuums of influence that China is now leveraging. [more...]

Noem Resonating with Voters

By James Hirsen

In the fast-approaching 2024 presidential election, South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem's name often appears near the top of the list of potential vice-presidential candidates from whom former President Trump could choose. For many Republicans who are already familiar with Gov. Noem, she appears to be an A-list pick. [more...]
