Iran is understandably the number one news story, with primary focus on the progress of U.S. military and diplomatic engagement and the responses of the Shia Mullah regime in Tehran. Almost no one is thinking or talking about the equally important spiritual and cultural ramifications for Iran, and the region, if the United States prevails—driving the current regime in Iran out of power. There’s even less analysis of the shifting geopolitics resulting from the combined effects of successful U.S. operations restoring control of the Panama Canal, Venezuela and its resources, the collapse of Cuba, and the degradation of narco-terrorism—all in the Western Hemisphere, and the fall of the current Iranian regime—in the heart of the Middle East.

Here Comes $10 Gasoline

When I look at how things are going, I keep coming to the conclusion that we might see $10 per gallon gasoline at your local pump pretty soon — maybe in 2027. It would cost $200 for a 20-gallon fillup. It might not happen, but if it did, it wouldn't surprise me a bit. Basically, it would feel like a replay of the Oil Crisis of 1973. Read More ›

The Trump administration's abrupt move to impose a $100,000 fee on new H-1B skilled worker visa applications has sent shockwaves through America's technology sector and the vast Indian immigrant community that powers it. Announced on Friday, September 19, and set to take effect the following Sunday, the directive sparked panic and confusion for workers, businesses, and families — culminating in a frenzied rush to return to the United States before the new rule's midnight deadline.

The trade deal with Great Britain, unveiled last Thursday, was a definite step in the right direction, but the next steps for the U.S. should take us closer to going all the way to full free trade with the U.K. Dr. Stephen Meyer, Director of Discovery Institute's Center for Science and Culture, has been arguing for this for decades, going back to when he was a graduate student in the philosophy of science at Cambridge University Read More ›

Does President Trump Have It Wrong on TikTok?

_{Scott S. Powell

Trump is mistaken if he thinks that the restructuring of TikTok can be pulled off quickly, given the risk of residual backdoors to China that are likely baked into the system. Everyone understands that Facebook harvests data from users' devices even when they are not on the Facebook site. According to Sam Faddis, a 20-year veteran of the CIA, TikTok is four to five times more intrusive than Facebook in harvesting data from Americans who have downloaded the TikTok app. Read More ›

How to End the Fed

President Wilson enacted the Federal Reserve Act in 1913. This allowed a consortium of private bankers to establish what amounted to a central bank monopoly currency issuer in the United States — although they took great pains to deny that was the goal. The Federal Reserve was never part of the government. It was the fourth attempt by private bankers to establish a monopoly currency issuer in the United States. Read More ›

Trump’s Tax Plan Will Be Fine

The Great Depression got started with the passage of the Smoot Hawley Tariff in the United States, by the Republican Party, which immediately set off a cascade of retaliatory tariffs worldwide. This alone did not cause the Great Depression, but it did cause the initial downturn. This was followed by a long string of bad decisions in reaction to that downturn, such as Republican Herbert Hoover's 1932 tax increase which took the top income tax rate from 25% to 63%. Read More ›
