“Guatemala,” according to Reuters, “is considering reaching out to develop formal trade ties with China.” We know what happens next. The Chinese Communist Party will do what it always does and attempt to condition trade relations on Guatemala’s denial of Taiwan’s legitimacy (as well as its support for China’s other geopolitical goals). The question is: will Guatemala succumb, or will President Bernardo Arévalo resist Beijing’s bullying?

What is needed is not another crusade but a realistic strategy that prioritizes U.S. interests, avoids needless escalation of regional conflicts, husbands resources for our most vital interests, and, to paraphrase Walter Lippmann, brings into balance our commitments and resources.

U.S. Senator Dr. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) this week joined U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. (R-La.), ranking member of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee, and 15 other Republican senators in raising serious concerns to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Director Monica Bertagnolli, M.D. following President Biden’s proposal that attempts to allow agencies to seize drug patents under the Bayh-Dole Act if the administration views the price the company is charging as too high.   

How can a treaty that won’t call out malign behavior of even non-member states like Russia – or hold accountable one of its actual signatories like Kazakhstan – be expected to resolve disputes in the event the major powers somehow join its ranks and warily give up their nuclear bombs. The answer is plain, it cannot, which is why those powers boycott it.

Why would we, as a capitalist, free-market society, want the government to dictate the terms of private market contracts and negotiations?

Put simply, each time President Biden announces more student loan cancellation, he is giving away free government money to an abundance of high-salary professionals.

We’ve long been warned about robots taking our jobs, but now they’re coming for our opinions as well.

For several years now all the services – save for the Marine Corps – have failed to meet their recruiting targets. Last year, the Army missed its recruiting goal by 25 percent—some 15,000 soldiers; the Navy missed its target by 19 percent; the Air Force by 10 percent, and the Coast Guard by 8 percent.

We know what a problem unfair foreign competition is – particularly by countries like China, where companies are always finding new ways to cheat. One current loophole allows these companies – along with drug traffickers – to evade U.S. taxes, fees, and inspections when packages are worth less than $800. It’s known as the “de minimis” loophole.

Complacency is spiritual poison that makes you blind. What is complacency and how does it hurt you? It is defined as "a feeling of being satisfied with yourself so that you do not think any change is necessary."

"The Supreme Court's 9-0 unanimous decision to keep President Trump on the ballot is a major win for American democracy and the rule of law. The American people decide who our president is, and this decision upholds that most basic principle," Ohio Republican Party Chairman Alex Triantafilou said.

All of this inability to influence Israel's conduct of the war while continuing to push aid to Tel Aviv makes Biden look foolish, weak and ineffective. D.C.'s continued financial support for the war paints a portrait of Netanyahu leading Biden around by the nose in front of a global audience. 

It seems that no sooner do we light our burn pile and step back to watch our woody scraps go up in smoke, then we are adding to it once again and watching it grow. It really is a very hungry thing, and simply does not wish to lie bare for very long, so we oblige and gather more wood scraps and feed it.

“NACs have no place in America. The Protect America’s Lands Act is critical to protect our lands from foreign adversaries and woke billionaire climate activists.”

The Biden administration may soon gut the Bayh-Dole Act, one of our nation's most important and impactful laws that also supports nearly $2 trillion in economic activity.
