The Vanishing Art of Self-Respect Imagine living in a country where one feels compelled to wear their jammies and slippers in public. That, apparently, is where America now finds itself—so much so that the U.S. Transportation Secretary has publicly pleaded with travelers to stop shuffling into airports dressed for naptime.Continue Reading
America has always been a generous nation, and rightly so. A wealthy republic with a vast economy ought to have a social safety net that protects its vulnerable. But generosity without vigilance is an open invitation to abuse—and nowhere is this more painfully obvious than in the unfolding welfare-fraud scandals in Minnesota.Continue Reading
You don’t need to spend long studying geopolitics to see what’s happening. Countries all over the world — left, right, monarchies, coalitions, technocracies, and everything in between — enforce their borders. Quietly. Consistently. Without apology.
