There’s been a lot of buzz lately surrounding the UK’s Online Safety Act. While it originally passed back in October 2023, it’s been back in the headlines recently because several key provisions just came into force over the last few days. And not surprisingly, a lot of people are worried. One of the

She will never admit to it. But according to recently-released federal disclosures, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is one of the wealthiest people in Congress. And it’s easy to understand why; she completely dominates every other member of Congress when it comes to fundraising. In fact her total fundraising haul just in the first half of

When King Louis XV died in 1774, nearly all of France breathed a collective sigh of relief. The late king, along with his predecessor— the legendary Louis XIV— had indebted France up to its eyeballs with endless war, waste, and lavish spending. Sure, Versailles was gorgeous. But the interest payments were eating the

In January of 1843, a local entrepreneur in the city of Philadelphia named Alexander Simmons launched a weekly publication called the Philadelphia Dollar Newspaper. (It was named that because the subscription price was a whopping $1… per YEAR.) There was a lot of competition in the media industry back then, just as there

Tucker Carlson spoke at a conservative political conference over the weekend and didn’t hold back on his diagnosis of America’s serious problems. But at one point, he also railed against having a second citizenship. Initially the question from the audience was about US politicians who also hold Israeli citizenship. Tucker found that “obviously

In the woke, radical left fantasy world that Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson lives in, reducing the federal bureaucracy is the ultimate Constitutional crisis. It started back in February when President Trump issued Executive Order 14210, directing federal agencies to lay off government workers and shrink the size of government. Naturally, the

We’ve all heard the legend: there was a beautiful girl, kidnapped, a thousand ships launched, and the mightiest warriors of the ancient world descended upon the city of Troy to win her back. Obviously this was all a myth. But Troy itself existed. And the Trojan War very likely happened as well. Though

US President Dwight D. Eisenhower was absolutely terrified of inflation. And that’s really saying something for a guy who had commanded Allied forces against the Nazis, faced down the Soviet Union during the Cold War, and overseen the dawn of the Atomic Age. Sure, those threats might seem more serious than a 5%

The Senate passed the “Big Beautiful Bill,” and it’s about to make America’s financial house of cards a whole lot shakier. Already today interest on the national debt costs more than the entire— very large— defense budget. The runaway national debt is literally a matter of national security. And the bill will add

It was September 29, 2021— nearly four years ago— that then House Speaker Nancy Pelosi held a press conference about their $3.5 trillion “Build Back Better” spending bonanza. Despite the outrageously high price tag, Pelosi told reporters at the presser, “the dollar amount [of the Build Back Better bill], as the President said,

70-year-old Janet Parvizyar should consider herself lucky— she only got a few bruises and a busted lip when a man with 20 prior arrests attacked her on the New York City subway last month. Less fortunate victims of subway violence— up 66% since 2019— include innocent passengers who were thrown onto the tracks

It’s probably unexpected for me to say this, but Arnold Schwarzenegger perfectly summed up one of the biggest reasons America cannot solve its problems right now. On a recent Jimmy Kimmel appearance, Kimmel tried to bait Schwarzenegger into slamming Donald Trump, but Schwarzenegger took a different approach. He acknowledged that America has a

For nearly two decades, organized groups of men— overwhelmingly of Pakistani Muslim descent— have preyed on vulnerable underage girls in towns across England. The British public has lived with the uncomfortable knowledge of the “grooming gang” menace… but weren’t allowed to talk about it. The crimes were horrific. The victims were numerous… in

Yesterday afternoon the US government published its annual report stating plainly that America has eight years left before a major financial crisis. This is not hyperbole. This is not conjecture. This is not some wild conspiracy theory. In fact, eight years until a crisis is probably the BEST CASE SCENARIO unless Congress takes serious
