    By Mark Skousen Nov. 11, 2025 – …These economically destructive measures are unnecessary and would disrupt the positive changes happening in capital-labor relations. The private sector is quietly solving the inequality problem without more redistribution and wage controls….How? Companies both large and small offer generous profit-sharing programs for employees—401(k) plans, stock options and discounted stock-purchase plans. Read More

    By Eric Schmidt and Dimitris Tsementzis Nov. 18, 2025 – The release of Chinese artificial-intelligence company DeepSeek’s R1 model in January 2025 renewed debate over the technological rivalry between the U.S. and China. Less widely noted is that DeepSeek began as a spinoff from a quantitative trading firm’s application of early AI techniques to financial markets. That connection highlights the immense promise of AI applications to the financial industry. It should remind us that in this domain, the U.S. has an unparalleled competitive advantage because of the depth of its capital markets, the talent that trades in those markets, and the technology they run on. So how do we use that advantage to drive the next wave of AI developments? Read More

    By Ben Sasse July 19, 2026 – The filibuster prevents the dramatic pendulum swings that are the natural result of simple-majority lawmaking. Every election and every vote becomes an existential crisis in a system that no longer plods through checks and balances but instead rushes to European-style referenda…. It’s a partisan’s dream: Court packing, new states, federal takeover of state elections…Sweeping changes to nearly every aspect of national and local life….The reality is that once the dam breaks, the stakes will climb endlessly higher.

    By Thomas Sowell Jan. 15, 2026 -Tragically, the AI impersonation fraud is part of a much larger and much longer lasting undermining of the very concept of truth…. If there are no serious consequences for either individuals or institutions that create frauds—whether by AI or by silencing other viewpoints—we will have no basis for settling our inevitable differences other than violence.,,,And once violence takes over, it may not matter what issues set it off, as violence and counter-violence take on a life of their own. At that point, the issue is no longer which vision will win, but whether we shall survive as a free society, or survive at all. Read More
