Do we need a revolution every 2 years?

November 12, 2026

Thomas Jefferson is said to have claimed that a revolution would be a good idea every 10 years. Jefferson’s detractors thought he was talking about the beheadings which took place during the French Revolution. Jefferson’s enemies claim that he wanted to bring the guillotine to the shores of the United States. Given that our Founding Father had rewritten the Bible to remove divinity from Jesus, had children with an enslaved woman, claimed that Washington was senile and that Adams was in the pay of the British, it is not shocking that Jefferson might have meant what he said about ...

Pennsylvania still needs leadership on election integrity

November 7, 2026

Here we are again: Pennsylvania, the swingiest of swing states, has no less than four congressional races essentially tied, with control of the U.S. Congress and the Pennsylvania General Assembly up for grabs. These razor-thin margins heighten anxiety over election integrity. Look no further than Philadelphia’s county commissioners, who Wednesday voted to deny federal election monitors the authority to enter restricted areas in polling places. Ironically, the monitors never sought entry to those areas. Federal agents observing polling places is nothing new. These monitors will be ...

Undergoing an economic structural shift

November 7, 2026

The Federal Reserve held interest rates steady in late October. But borrowing costs remain elevated, making homes and cars less affordable. Meanwhile, higher energy prices are eroding purchasing power, and weak hiring is limiting workers’ opportunities to change jobs. The bond market’s reaction suggests there’s more to the story. According to Treasury data, short-term yields fell while longer-term yields rose. Inflation-adjusted yields accounted for half the six-basis-point increase in 10-year yields and roughly 71% of the seven-basis-point increase at 30 years. Higher real ...

We need institutions that transmit values

October 31, 2026

Civilizations do not collapse merely because their economies falter, their armies weaken, or their political institutions fail. They become vulnerable when they lose the capacity to transmit their moral foundations from one generation to the next. We live amid extraordinary technological achievement, material abundance, and expanding human knowledge. Yet Western societies seem increasingly uncertain about the moral purposes these accomplishments should serve. Political polarization has displaced deliberation; ideological loyalty often supersedes the common good, and opponents ...

Biden said only Congress could fix border — Trump proved him wrong

October 31, 2026

Numbers can tell a story that no amount of partisan spin can erase. According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection data, southwest border apprehensions in fiscal year 2026 fell 95% from the Biden-era average, with fewer than 99,000 between ports of entry. Nationwide encounters totaled just 379,243 – the lowest in agency history and 88% below the 2.7 million annual average of the Biden years. Fiscal 2026 also marked the first year with zero Border Patrol releases into the interior, a streak that reached 17 consecutive months by September. Drug seizures hit nearly 1 million pounds. ...

The future of socialism in America

October 30, 2026

Is the future of socialism playing out in the streets of French cities and towns? Store owners, some of them Jewish, were seen outside their broken store windows literally begging rioters and looters to leave their hard earned merchandise alone. The looters pushed the owners aside and helped themselves to the cache of goods laughing as they went. No police presence was seen. France, like Greece and Italy before it and many South American countries, is paying the price for Socialism. Empty promises from crass government promises to make everyone rich. This, combined with Third ...
