A massive increase in foreign money and students on American campuses is driving radicalization and subsidizing institutional failure Something new and peculiar stands out about the wave of anti-Israel student activism that has rocked American university campuses since October: There is a visibly more radical element to these protests.

Big Tech, federal agencies, and corporate media are working together to undermine the country and control your thoughts. It’s tempting to look at Big Tech, corporate media, and federal agencies as distinct industries and entities with their own goals and organizational structures, but that’s not the right way to analyze them in 2024.

Are there settler-colonial states in the modern era? Of course, there are. The best example of such a state is Tibet. The Chinese invaded Tibet in 1959. In the past 40 years and counting, 1.2 million Tibetans have been killed constituting one/fifth of the population. The occupiers have destroyed 6,000 monasteries arguably exceeding the total […]

The New York Times reports that the entire corruption case against the Biden family in the U.S. House of Representatives was dealt “a stinging setback” after special counsel David Weiss obtained this indictment against a key “whistleblower” for lying about the Bidens.

Editors’ Note: Without discussing the wisdom of Ukraine’s military aid, the author is correct in taking on the persistent myth that defense spending is always good for the economy.
