A Waste of Brainpower and Money
Americans spend more than $50 billion a year on space exploration. This includes not only money spent on rocket ships, space stations, and satellites, but also on scientists and researchers at universities and elsewhere. But a funny thing is happening.

Why Blacks are Fleeing Inner Cities
Gene Veith is a Lutheran evangelical and former cultural editor at World magazine. In a recent article ($), he details what is being called black flight, i.e., blacks leaving traditional inner-city enclaves like Washington D.C., Chicago, and Detroit.

Horowitz on the Chauvin Verdict
by David Horowitz No one in his right mind could have been surprised by the verdict in the Minneapolis trial of Officer Derek Chauvin for the killing of George Floyd.

Thought’s on the Derek Chauvin Verdict?
What the Media Didn’t Tell You about the Chauvin Case
by Andrew C. McCarthy If you did not watch the Derek Chauvin trial, but only heard the inflammatory comments spewing out of the White House and the media-Democrat complex, there are things about it you would never know. And you’d be apt to believe the claims that American law enforcement is systemically racist. I watched the trial…
