By Christopher DeMuth – A near perfect aspirational agenda to conserve the American nation. – *** Re-establish national borders, reduce our million plus annual illegal entries to zero, and calibrate lawful immigration to the needs of cultural assimilation, social harmony and economic growth; abolish all official racial and other group preferences; liberate the energy sector; return to a balanced federal budget outside of wars and other emergencies; redirect federal spending from personal entitlements and income transfers to public goods such as national defense, basic research and infrastructure; withdraw the collective-bargaining privileges of public-employee unions; institute stable currency; universal school choice; initiatives to mobilize science and enterprise to dominate… Read More

By Lance Morrow – Mr. Trump and his followers…are essentially antifascists: They want the state … to impose the least possible interference and allow market forces and entrepreneurial energies to work. Freedom isn’t fascism. Mr. Biden and his vast tribe are essentially enemies of freedom…. They desire maximum—that is, total—state or party control of all aspects of American life, including what people say and think. …The left yearns for power and authoritarian order. It is Faust’s bargain; freedom is forfeit…. Read More
