What You Need to Know About the Debt-Ceiling Debate
- By Veronique de Rugy
If you read news coverage about the brewing battle over raising the debt ceiling, you might think it's a fight between demons and angels. On one side, you have Republicans who are willing to risk a default on the government's debt unless they get spending cuts that will starve people. On the other side, you have Democrats who, guarding the interests of ordinary Americans, want a "clean" increase in the debt ceiling with no cuts in spending.
None of this is accurate. The concessions sought by Republicans are relatively small compared to what needs to be done. In fact, the truly problematic position is the one that blindly insists that we shouldn't cut spending or worry about government debt.

Tucker Carlson and the Struggle for Civilizational Sanity
- By Josh Hammer
Last Friday, I attended The Heritage Foundation's 50th Anniversary Gala, a sprawling and swanky affair featuring many fine presentations, a surprise Dierks Bentley mini-concert for the country music enthusiasts (yours truly among them) and an extravagant post-dinner fireworks show over the Potomac River. But the highlight of the evening, bar none, was former Fox News star Tucker Carlson's electric keynote address and his (all-too-brief) colloquy on stage afterward with Heritage's exceptional new president, Kevin Roberts.

Christian Society and the Failure of Capitalism and Communism
- By Winston McCuen
The great error underlying all modern social and economic thought and practice is the assumption that capitalism and communism, as supposed opposites, are the only options.
Since the appearance of Adam Smith's Enquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations (1776) and of the Communist Manifesto (1848) of Marx and Engels, humanity has been locked in a false dichotomy of thought and practice -- wrongly viewing capitalism and communism as thesis and antithesis, and as mutually exclusive and jointly exhaustive theoretical and policy options. The truth, however, is that these two doctrines -- at the most fundamental level -- are kindred creeds that, for kindred reasons, operate in ways contrary both to human flourishing and to Divine favor.

‘Imagine’
- By Rob Pue - Wisconsin Christian News
In 1971, British rock musician and former Beatle John Lennon released what would become the most successful song of his solo career. “Imagine” is one of the most-performed songs of the 20th century, and Rolling Stone magazine ranked it number three in their list of “the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.” It’s been performed during the “Ball Drop” in New York’s Times Square on New Year’s Eve, it was played during the closing ceremonies of the 2012 Summer Olympics, and notably, has become an anthem of the secular humanist and atheist movement, championed by the Freedom From Religion Foundation and the ACLU.

Disney Is Going To Lose (Again) To Florida and Ron DeSantis
- By Josh Hammer
The first round of the "Florida and Gov. Ron DeSantis v. The Walt Disney Company" fight, held last spring, ended in a clear DeSantis victory and Disney defeat. Following Disney's vocal opposition to Florida's commonsense Parental Rights in Education Act, misleadingly dubbed the "Don't Say Gay" bill, Florida passed a law to abolish the Reedy Creek Improvement District, which in 1967 incentivized Disney's initial planting of a flag in Central Florida by giving the corporation unparalleled government-like powers over basic municipal services such as zoning, building codes and waste treatment.
Disney thus paid the price for coming out in favor of indoctrinating impressionable kindergarteners in vogue gender ideology and queer theory by having its gratuitous, extra-legal corporate welfare rescinded, putting it on an equal playing field with every other corporation operating in the state of Florida.

One Stat Rarely Tells the Story
- By Veronique de Rugy
Government debt as a share of the U.S. economy is falling. This must mean the Biden administration and Congress are practicing fiscal responsibility, right? No, it doesn't. The main driver behind the reduction is inflation -- inflation that politicians in Washington created with their irresponsible spending and refusal to engage in austerity after the COVID-19 crisis.
Misleading ideas like this are another reason why we must keep talking about fiscal policy. The missing debt is nothing to celebrate when it's due to inflation, something especially harmful for poorer Americans who see their living standards erode.
All of this might sound complicated, but the solution is not.

Christian Love and Church Over State
- By Winston McCuen
Augustine of Hippo (354-420 AD) became the world's greatest political philosopher when he identified love as the core principle of all historical and theoretical forms of social, economic and governmental organization.
No shallow sentimentalist spouting brainless liberal Lennon lyrics, the great Christian saint insightfully distinguished between good and bad loves, and between good and bad loving. Unlike many, Augustine understood the central importance of loving the right things, and in the right ways. He saw how good loving is about doing real (and not imagined or pretended) good to others (and to self); and he shrewdly pointed out how the true doer of good must first know the real good of others (and of self). The world's greatest theologian, Augustine clearly demonstrated how right loving is impossible apart from spiritual regeneration, when Christ as Savior implants the love of Truth (Himself) in the new believer.
