How Big Tech Censorship Made the Hunter Biden Story Huge
Elections are messy. As the day of any election gets closer, more stories are leaked as opponents and muckraking journalists try to hurt the opposition’s campaign.

How To Steal An Election: Mail-In Ballots
Is there a problem with universal mail-in balloting? Sounds simple enough: You fill out a ballot, stick it in the mail; somebody counts it on Election Day.

Celebrating Columbus
He ventured where no other man of his age dared to go. He saw things no other man of his age had ever seen. He discovered a New World. For centuries, he was universally admired as a hero. Now he’s widely considered to be a despoiler of paradise, an enslaver, …
Critical Race Theory & the Decline of American Justice
Is racism in the DNA of white people, and is it a permanent part of American society?

Elon Musk’s Common Sense Economic Truth Bomb
Elon Musk dropped an economic truth bomb on Joe Rogan’s podcast a couple of months ago. “If you don’t make stuff, there’s no stuff.” Obvious? You’d think so. But, as Musk pointed out, our economic policies throughout the COVID-19 pandemic have ignored that simple truth. The prevailing assumption is that …
Does College Guarantee Success?
Maybe the dumbest thing you can do is to go to the place that’s supposed to make you smart. That would be…college. Now, perhaps I’m biased. I don’t have a college degree—although I employ a lot of people who do, and from some of the most prestigious universities in the …
