    Opening Our Borders Would Overwhelm America A

    By Dave Seminara – April 16, 2017

    Principles of Government · October 1, 2023 ·

    By Dave Seminara – Rolling surveys conducted by Gallup … estimated that 640 million people wanted to emigrate, with the U.S. being the desired destination for 150 million. …If the U.S. loosened visa restrictions… we’d see the largest mass movement in human history. It would be an epic economic and environmental catastrophe. Read More

    How Adherents See ‘Critical Race Theory’ B

    Principles of Government · July 25, 2022 ·

    By William A, Galston – But one thing is clear: Because the Declaration of Independence—the founding document of the American liberal order—is a product of Enlightenment rationalism, a doctrine that rejects the Enlightenment tacitly requires deconstructing the American order and rebuilding it on an entirely different foundation.

    It’s the Entitlements, Stupid A

    By The Editorial Board - The Wall Street Journal - June 29, 2021

    Copyright ©2021 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 87990cbe856818d5eddac44c7b1cdeb8

    Principles of Government · September 23, 2023 ·

    By The Editorial Board – The Wall Street Journal – Sen. Joe Manchin’s public support Sunday for at least $2 trillion in new spending in a partisan budget bill is a huge win for the political left. This means a giant tax-and-spend bill this year is likely, and the biggest expansion of the entitlement state since the 1960s is now possible.

    The entitlements are by far the biggest long-term economic threat from the Biden agenda. Tax increases can be repealed by a future Congress. Spending on infrastructure will slow as funding falls. The courts may block his racial preferences. But entitlements that spend automatically based on eligibility are nearly impossible to repeal, or even reform, and they represent a huge tax-and-spend wedge far into the future.

    The media won’t talk about this, and Republicans are so far missing in action. But Americans need to understand the stakes. Read More

    Biden’s Cradle-to-Grave Government B

    By The Editorial Board of the Wall Street Journal - April 29, 2021

    Copyright ©2020 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 87990cbe856818d5eddac44c7b1cdeb8

    Principles of Government · September 21, 2023 ·

    By The Editorial Board of the Wall Street Journal – The progressive hits keep coming from the Biden Administration, and the latest is the $1.8 trillion American Families Plan introduced in broad strokes on Wednesday. It’s more accurate to call this the plan to make the middle class dependent on government from cradle to grave. The government will tell you sometime later, after you’re hooked to the state, how it will force you to pay for it. Read More

    Battle Over Critical Race Theory A

    By Christopher F. Rufo - Jun 28, 2021

    Copyright ©2021 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 87990cbe856818d5eddac44c7b1cdeb8

    Principles of Government · July 19, 2023 ·

    By Christopher F. Rufo – Critical race theory is the latest battleground in the culture war. … key concepts, including “systemic racism,” “white privilege,” … have become ubiquitous in America’s elite institutions. Progressive politicians have sought to implement “antiracist” policies to reduce racial disparities, such as minorities-only income…  Read More
