Thanksgiving 2023 Reflections
- By Alveda King
"Thank God for what we have left." -- Rev. Martin Luther King, Sr.
For many people, the Thanksgiving season is a time for expressing gratitude to God for our many blessings. I have been spending time this season reflecting on how grateful I am to have been raised by my parents, Rev. A.D. King and Dr. Naomi King. My father’s legacy lives on in his powerful sermons, and writings, and in the work and lives of his children.
While my mother Naomi, also known by her fans as "the Butterfly Queen," is 92, years old now, she continues to advocate globally for peace and justice. I recently traveled to Amsterdam as her stand-in as she was slated to share her long-earned wisdom with the world. Lest we forget, the generational Bible based truths must be taught to every generation, every decade, and on every platform. And please remember, "When peripherals collide, convergence is imminent."

Here's One Way to Demand Rational Government
- By Veronique de Rugy
In a world where economic decisions are mostly driven by short-term goals and political pressures, the need for a long-term, evidence-based approach is more pressing than at any time in memory. Enter the Copenhagen Consensus -- a beacon of analytical clarity conceived by Danish intellectual Bjorn Lomborg. It aims to reshape global discourse by prioritizing initiatives based on their cost-effectiveness. Imagine harnessing this model to direct fiscal policy!
Many of today's budgetary problems could be solved if only politicians and voters recognized that not every need and problem is equally weighty. Such recognition -- a staple of successful private-sector projects -- ought to become commonplace in the public sector.

Congress Can Redeem Itself by Calling for Help
- By Veronique de Rugy
There's much talk today about the need for a fiscal commission. The House Budget Committee held a hearing about it a few weeks ago. Pundits are Substacking about whether using the approach to put federal finances on a sustainable path is a good or a bad idea. And according to a recent polling, voters support the idea of a commission.
Great. But that shouldn't obscure the fact that a commission would be the result of our legislators constantly acting like children by refusing to be good stewards of taxpayers' dollars, which is their No. 1 job. There are also a few important things needed to make such a commission successful.

Pro-Hamas and Pro-LGBT Crazies Tied at the Hip
- By Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights
In the late 1960s, while on leave from the Air Force, I came home to see my family in New York City. At that time, I was following the political upheaval that had gripped Ireland. I learned that Bernadette Devlin, the Irish firebrand, was in town, so I went to hear her address before a large indoor crowd in midtown Manhattan. I was not pleased by what I heard.
Devlin wasn't the problem: the problem was that although this happening was billed as an Irish event, it was taken over by activists representing every left-wing cause imaginable. The war on Vietnam, the oppression of minorities, Indians, women, prisoners, students—you name it—that's what carried the day. In short, the radicals had no interest in discussing conditions in Ireland. They simply hijacked the event to mouth their own litany of grievances.

Unveiling the Unseen Similarities between GCRP and the Titanic
- By Judith A. Tanzola
Just One Small Thing
As the Titanic attempted to cross the Atlantic, there was a simple problem, that even the most astute seaman could have not realized. Thus, the gigantic vessel, the pride of the White Line and of the British Empire disappeared beneath the surface of the Atlantic, that it so proudly attempted to skim across.
This vessel, a treasure to own and sail on, was forced, full steam ahead into an iceberg. An iceberg, with barely the tip visible, but gargantuan below the surface. -In the vast ocean near Newfoundland, with horizons and sky taking on visual infinity, how could such a white floating object go unnoticed?

Responsible Government Isn't Just for the Tough Times
- By Veronique de Rugy
Some policy experts who, over the last few decades, saw little need for serious fiscal austerity because the government could borrow at low interest rates are now changing their tune. Their argument is that with rates now rising and the government's interest payments set to become extremely expensive, it's time to adjust. While I suppose that's progress, they fail to see that the past calls for austerity were attempts to avoid precisely what's happening today.
Indeed, the need for fiscal responsibility was never based on an inability to afford extra debt back then. It was because the moment was destined to arrive when adjustments became necessary, and rising indebtedness ensured that these changes would become more painful.

No Populists in Sight in the World of Politics
- By Veronique de Rugy
In the grand ballroom of American politics, Democrats have long waltzed to the melody of progressivism while ridiculing Republicans' preference for outdated tax-cut tunes. Ironically, they don't want to pay for their style of big government with higher taxes on ordinary Americans, which their expansionary ambitions would require. Instead, they loudly proclaim that they want to tax the rich. It remains to be seen how true this is.
Indeed, while Democrats profess their devotion to social justice and fight against income inequality, they often push for policies that favor the rich. Take their nonstop battle over the last five years to ease the tax burden of their high-income constituents.
