Current Affairs Editor Attacks Candace Owens and Claims Decay of the American BrainRepublished with permission from AbleChild.This week’s Current Affairs magazine features an article about Conservative podcaster Candace Owens, who author Nathan J. Robinson suggests is so out of her mind and is “on another level entirely,” and that “many of her proclamations are so bizarre, they seem better described as “symptoms” than ideas.”Robinson has a PhD in sociology from Harvard and a JD from Yale Law School, so he at least gets credit for being a dedicated student. But the article reads like a purposeful hit piece rather than a…

Volodymyr Zelenskyy is huddled with European Leaders at the European Council meeting in Brussels. The key effort by the assembly is how to use frozen Russian assets to give money to Ukraine. The EU itself does not want to lend Ukraine money directly because people within each nation of the EU assembly do not support giving Ukraine more money. The issue reflects a political disconnect where the EU leaders want to give money that the EU citizens do not support giving. As a result, the only viable option is for the EU to find a mechanism where seized Russian assets…

The church, meaning all believers, should be emboldened by those examples. We need to be inspired by those who not only talk the talk but walk the walk. We need to see in action what we consider in theory. Christians, after…

Ford Pays a $19.5 Billion Price After Realizing it Fell for Biden’s EV Scam By Bryan ChaiIn terms of both customer demand and production cost, the giant push for an all-EV transition has always felt hackneyed and shortsighted.

The Biden administration offered unsustainable subsidization to producers and consumers to try and prop up a market for EVs, but even that wasn’t enough for their dreams to be visualized. And,…
