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.
Americans Learned a Financial-Crisis Lesson. Washington Did Not.
- By Veronique de Rugy
Congress and the Biden administration seem unaware that rising interest rates are about as "transitory" as they told us inflation would be -- meaning, likely to be around for quite a while. Why does this matter? Ask someone who's been enticed by a mortgage with a variable interest rate that starts low and then rises quickly when conditions change.
Over the past month, yields on 10-year notes have risen sharply to 4.8%, well above the prevailing rate over the past 16 years. Meanwhile, two-year Treasuries are paying a 5.2% yield, and three-month Treasury bills are paying 5.5% -- much higher than the rates projected by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) in February. For this quarter, CBO assumed a ten-year yield of 3.9%; it's currently 4.7%.
John the Baptist Vico, Philosopher of Divine Providence
- By Winston McCuen - South Carolina
Nations are mortal. They live and they die. And the United States — as recent mounting crises suggest — is no exception. To weather these storms, Americans need the wisdom and perspective provided by Holy Scripture and by true, Christian philosophy.
The Italian philosopher Giambattista Vico (1668-1744) is a critically important figure in the Western intellectual tradition. He was a true, Christian philosopher who explained, in deep ways, how history is God's providence and how the human mind, to become truly educated, must be cultivated in proper order through the liberal arts and sciences.
The Cult of 'Forever Low' Interest Rates Had to End Sometime
- By Veronique de Rugy
Countless financial soothsayers and Wall Street wizards were once members of a curious cult. Their doctrine? The unshakable belief that interest rates had managed to find something resembling the fabled Fountain of Youth, leaving their numbers eternally low and never rising. The "Forever Low" brigade dismissed those of us who argued that high government debt was unsustainable and, partly because low repayment rates would not last forever, we should control spending.
