"Everything has changed but the way We think." Attributed to both Leslie Groves and Albert Einstein right after the Hiroshima explosion, We humans still think as We always have about pretty much everything. It may be the source of Our present anxieties. Respect and Responsibility, with their sibling Justice, have seemingly become lonesome doves, as near to extinction in some manner as so much wildlife and Our stable atmosphere. Government policy and...

In my 10 plus years of teaching, I have found that students struggle with two major challenges in writing a quality capstone paper. First, they have difficulty creating a rigorous analytical framework. Too often, the papers tend to be more descriptive in nature, which means that the final policy recommendation may be flawed. This book attempts to fill that gap by discussing in detail the various components of the framework as well as their interdependence....

America's immigration crisis is out of control!
Unregulated immigration has led to an increase in crime, a loss of working class jobs, an inflated welfare state, and an elevated amount of terror threats on our home territory. The clash of differing emotions, facts, and opinions reveal that this issue is not simply a nationwide disagreement; it is an American crisis.

"Este pregón al progreso tiene su origen en Mendoza, pero fluirá por las provincias de la franja central para terminar con eclosión en la CABA y, desde allí, diseminarse al resto del país. Hemos vivido casi 40 años ininterrumpidos de Democracia. Sin embargo, los problemas socioeconómicos no solo han persistido, sino que se han agravado. Es mi interés que estas ideas vuelen alto, de modo tal que sobrepasen las oscuras y cargadas nubes de la...

Liars-Al Gore, the United Nations, the New York Times.

Al Gore is bad for the planet... Talk about really inconvenient truths--that's one of the many you'll find in Iain Murray's rollicking exposé of environmental blowhards who waste more energy, endanger more species, and actually kill more people (yes, that's right) than the environmental villains they finger. Did you know that estrogen from birth control and "morning after" pills is causing male fish across America to develop female sex organs? Funny...

In his stunning new book, Marriage and Civilization, author William Tucker looks at the evidence from biology, evolution, anthropology, history, and culture to come to a remarkable conclusion: it was the monogamous pairing of male and female - unusual among mammals - that led to human evolution. Moreover, it is monogamous marriage that has shaped Western Civilization, giving us our sense of justice, undergirded Western democracy, and is the greatest...

Throughout America and around the world, the United States has been known as a beacon of hope and opportunity, the land of the free and the home of the brave. Sadly, from the crumbling urban ghetto of Detroit to the cash-strapped shores of California to the rust belt of the Midwest, America is not living up to that promise.

In late 2018, the First Step Act was signed into law by President Donald Trump just hours before a government shutdown. It was one of few major pieces of federal criminal justice reform since the 1970s to move toward reversing the incarceration frenzy that had characterized United States policy. While it did not amount to revolutionary reform, in Reform Nation, Colleen P....
