Assessing U.S.-China Relations in the Aftermath of the Spy Balloon
- Details
- By Josh Hammer
The utterly humiliating saga of a high-altitude Chinese surveillance "balloon" successfully traversing the entire North American continent, only to be shot down off the South Carolina coast after completing its intelligence-gathering voyage, ought to serve as a wake-up call for America's decadent ruling class. At Newsweek, Paul du Quenoy sagely compared the affair to the young West German pilot Mathias Rust's successful 1987 landing of his small Cessna just outside Moscow's Red Square, a similarly "irreparable blight" wherein a "sclerotic empire's air defense systems stood powerless at the sight of an airborne foreign intruder."
Here's Why Spending Fights Are Getting More Frequent
- Details
- By Veronique de Rugy
People are uneasy about the debt ceiling fight. Many think it's unhealthy and a sign of poor fiscal management, and they are right. However, they should get used to it. These budget fights will keep getting more frequent and more intense. That's because no one wants to talk about budget restraints. The truth is that existing spending commitments are rapidly shrinking the share of the budget that politicians have control over as their appetite for spending expands.
Those who believe that government is the answer to all problems are always full of ideas about new programs to be funded. They want to prepare for the next pandemic or emergency by funding new government capabilities. They want government to engineer an energy revolution while simultaneously paying off all outstanding student loans as well as all future enrollments. They also want the government to relieve parents of the financial burden of raising children, while expanding the military and funding every project on the books.
Jefferson's Constitutional Metaphor
- Details
- By Jim S. Brooks - Roebuck, SC
The metaphorical phrase articulated by Thomas Jefferson and received by posterity as a “…a wall of separation between church and state” never even existed in this country in the years between the founding of the first English settlement at James Town, Virginia in 1607 and the year 1802-the year Jefferson framed it. Jefferson, when President, “coined” the imaginative metaphorical phrase in a letter to a Christian Denominational Church (Baptist) in 1802-and that period of time spanned a total of nearly two hundred (200) years. It is simply a metaphor illustrating a jurisdictional issue that existed in the federal government over religion and meant nothing to the formation of our Constitution or Bill of Rights simply because it did not exist in that time span! It simply illustrated the fact that no religious jurisdiction of any type existed in the newly ratified Federal Constitution.

Most Destructive Americans of the Last 70 years
- Details
- By Frank Hawkins - US Army Retired Intelligence Officer
America has undergone enormous change during the nearly eight decades of my life. Today, America is a bitterly divided, poorly educated, and morally fragile society with so-called mainstream politicians pushing cynical identity politics, socialism, and open borders. The past president of the United States was impeached twice and acquitted twice because the other side doesn’t like him. The once reasonably unbiased American media has evolved into a hysterical left-wing mob.
How could the stable and reasonably cohesive America of the 1950s have reached this point in just one lifetime? Who are the main culprits? Here’s my list of the 10 most destructive Americans of the last 70 years.
The 2024 Test for the New American Right
- Details
- By Josh Hammer
After former President Donald Trump formally launched his 2024 presidential run in November, a favorite parlor game of the chattering class has been to guess the identity of his first formally announced challenger for the Republican nomination. This week answered that question: Nikki Haley. The former governor of South Carolina and U.S. ambassador to the United Nations is set to declare her candidacy for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination in Charleston, South Carolina, on Feb. 15. (N.B. deeply unpopular former national security adviser John Bolton made an offhand remark to a British television station last month that he would also run, but since then has merely intimated he is considering such a bid.)
Don't Let Them Delete History!

What is it about liberal leaders who edit our founding American documents?
Last week, Vice-President Kamala Harris omitted "life" when she quoted the Declaration of Independence. She said, "We collectively believe and know, America is a promise … It is a promise of freedom and liberty. Not just some, but for all. A promise we made in the Declaration of Independence, that we are each endowed with the right to liberty and the pursuit of happiness." How can anyone have liberty or happiness if we do not first have a right to life? For Harris, the fundamental right to life in our Declaration of Independence does not fit with her demand for a right to kill inconvenient babies.
