About this site
THESE are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated.

Fitness trackers and smart watches have become a staple of modern life, with well over 100 million Americans using these devices to monitor their health. More recently, they’ve gained popularity with children, many of whom will no doubt head back to school after the holiday sporting their very own unsightly high-tech wristwear.Researchers have uncovered vulnerabilities that allow unauthorized users to track children's movements or even communicate with them directly. But while the health benefits are touted, the risks — both visible and hidden — are mounting.A recent study from the University of Notre Dame revealed a rather shocking truth: These… [...]
Last week, Chinese Communist leader Xi Jinping turned down President Trump’s invitation to his second inauguration. It is easy to understand why. Trump is returning to office pledging to deal with a huge China problem of Xi’s making. An incessant military buildup. Staggering theft of our intellectual property and technology. Predatory trade practices. Corruption of our institutions. Chemical warfare via fentanyl that’s killing hundreds of thousands of our countrymen. Some of Beijing’s aggressive actions require massive, expensive countermeasures. Others can be handled cheaply, sometimes at no taxpayer cost. China won’t play by international norms. The Chinese Communist Party is vulnerable… [...]
Two Japanese giants are teaming up — an alliance that could eventually have a Godzilla-sized impact on the auto industry. Honda and Nissan — Japan's second and third-largest carmakers, respectively — have signed a memorandum of understanding to begin exploring strategic partnership in the fields of vehicle electrification and intelligence.Last year, Honda sold 3.98 million vehicles and Nissan 3.37 million. Their combination could make them the world’s third-largest automaker.This is not a merger per se, although the close collaboration in software platforms and core EV components that it allows could lead to one in the future. Honda and Nissan began… [...]
Dallas Jenkins, creator of the hit TV show "The Chosen," is defending a scene from the show's upcoming new season. The controversial and tense scene, from the unreleased season 5, depicts Jesus speaking with Judas before the betrayal. In the scene, Jesus tells Judas that he has a "choice to make": "Who you belong to. Who has your heart?" Jesus then says, "I want it, and I've had it before. You followed me willingly." Judas responds by telling Jesus, "There is nothing more that I want than that," to which Jesus says, "Then I will pray for you." The scene… [...]
How do you restore a bloated and misdirected U.S. Department of Energy to its originally intended purpose of assuring affordable and reliable American energy? The answer is to appoint a highly knowledgeable and successful energy producer to the position of Energy secretary. Donald Trump made the perfect pick in Chris Wright.A mechanical and electrical engineer by training, Chris Wright is one of the people most responsible for the fracking revolution that freed America from the whims of hostile oil producers like Iran and Venezuela. He is currently the CEO of Liberty Energy, an oil and natural gas servicing company at… [...]
Days before Christmas — one of the most holy Christian holidays — the New York Times pulled a predictable stunt. Ignoring two millennia of Christian tradition holding to the virgin birth of Jesus, the so-called "newspaper of record" published an editorial column with a historian titled, "A Conversation About the Virgin Birth That Maybe Wasn't." The point of the interview with Dr. Elaine Pagels, a scholar of early Christianity, was to sow doubt that Mary was a virgin when she gave birth to Jesus. 'Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth… [...]

Have you ever considered how secular culture has shaped your experience of Christmas?For most Americans, Christmas begins and ends on December 25. After the gifts are exchanged, the Christmas meal is consumed, and the family gathering has concluded, Americans purge their homes — and their hearts — of any evidence that Christmas happened.But Christmas isn't over after December 25.Traditionally, Christians celebrate the 12 days of Christmas, a season called Christmastide. It begins on December 25 and ends on January 6, culminating with the Feast of Epiphany. The word "epiphany" comes from a Greek word that means "appearance" or "manifestation," and… [...]
Take a listen to "Little Deuce Coupe," that joyful tribute to the 1932 Ford Coupe and California car culture. Now try to imagine the Beach Boys writing such a gorgeous song about a Prius. Unfortunately that's the future California's climate-crazy Preach Boys want for us. The explosion of legendary hot-rod brands, builders, and hobbyists came at a time when individual expression, not institutionalized expression, reigned supreme. The California Air Resources Board is exploring a proposal to allow local governments to create "zero-emission zones" in the new future. In other words, no gas-powered vehicles allowed.

Enter Scott Galloway, an articulate, successful, and self-assured commentator who has positioned himself as a voice for this growing demographic.

Another report said Trump wants European troops to deploy to Ukraine to monitor a future ceasefire. Meeting in 2017, via Russian Foreign Ministry "Judging by numerous leaks and Donald… [...]
2025 Will Be... Authored by Peter Tchir via Academy Securities, 2025 Will Be... A week ago, who would have thought that there would be anything interesting to write about concerning markets on December 29th? A short trading week in the U.S. and an even shorter one in Europe. Even Academy guest hosting Bloomberg TV (first hour) seemed unlikely to move markets. Everyone seemed pretty settled in for the Santa rally, which was delivered last Friday, Monday, and Tuesday. But a funny thing happened on the way to cruising through to the new year – a solid 1% loss on Friday… [...]

Biden's "Obvious Mental Decline" Most Underreported Story In 2024: Veteran CBS Journalist The most underreported story of 2024 was President Biden's "obvious mental decline," according to veteran CBS News reporter Jan Crawford, the network's chief legal correspondent. "Undercovered and underreported, that would be, to me, Joe Biden’s obvious cognitive decline that became undeniable in the televised debate," Crawford said during a discussion on "Face the Nation" Sunday. Crawford then noted that White House staffers covered it up - limiting his in-person interactions, and calling genuine videos of Biden's stumbles "cheap fakes." "And yet he insisted that he could still run… [...]
How Chronic Inflammation Accelerates Aging And What You Can Do About It Authored by Jennifer Sweenie via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours), As time marches on, our bodies can gradually enter a state of chronic low-grade inflammation known as inflammaging. This process accelerates the aging process and increases the risk of age-related diseases, from heart conditions to diabetes to cognitive decline. Pheelings media/Shutterstock Inflammaging is a portmanteau of “inflammation” and “aging.” It can burn years off our lifespan, leaving us sick and suffering. However, emerging research shows you can combat inflammaging by adopting simple lifestyle strategies. Adding high-quality protein to… [...]

Ukraine FM In Damascus: Two Countries Which Have Halted Elections Indefinitely Find Commonality International media sources are calling it one of the most consequential foreign visits to Damascus since the fall of Assad: a Ukrainian delegation led by Zelensky's foreign minister Andrii Sybiha met with Hayat Tahrir al-Sham in Damascus on Monday. Syria's newly appointed foreign minister under Jolani, Asaad Hassan al-Shibani, told the Ukrainian FM that he hopes for a strong "strategic partnership" with the new Syria. Ukraine was reportedly key in helping the jihadist group HTS, a US-designated terror organization, storm across Syria in the days leading up… [...]
Cheney's Pending Immunity Whiplash Authored by Julie Kelly via Declassified with Julie Kelly (subscribe here), Few people worked harder over the past few years to put Donald Trump behind bars than Liz Cheney, the former (alleged) Republican congresswoman from Wyoming. Seeking revenge for Trump’s longtime criticism of her father’s “weapons of mass destruction” lie, Cheney sought to settle a family score by imprisoning Trump over the events of January 6. “No one is above the law!,” Cheney, in her grating sanctimonious style, frequently insists. Well, except for her. It now appears Cheney is preparing to fight any federal and/or congressional… [...]

Trump's Going Places With Energy, But Biden's The Backseat Driver Authored by James Varney via RealClearInvestigations, For four years, President Joe Biden has described climate change as an existential threat requiring a whole lot of government response and trillions of dollars in new spending to force America off fossil fuels. President-elect Donald Trump, on the other hand, opts for a three-word approach: “Drill, baby, drill.” Energy is just one of the areas – from foreign policy and law enforcement to taxes, immigration, regulation, and almost every other issue – where the two leaders have sharply divergent views. But even as… [...]
