Former President George W. Bush has joined the chorus of establishment figures warning against the United States’ plan to withdraw its troops from Afghanistan following two decades of war in the country. “I’ve always warned that no U.S. presence in Afghanistan will create a vacuum, and into that vacuum is likely to come people who treat women as second class citizens,” Bush said in an interview with Fox News.

Most people have heard of Dogma but not many people know what it means. Dogma is another name for what the Church believes. The Catholic Church official teaching is based on The Apostles Creed and Dogma. Dogma is fundamental to the Catholic faith. It is etched on the heart of the Church for eternity because the Church believes it was revealed by God and the Church declared it infallibly. Note that the Vatican has no official list of Dogmas, probably for many reasons, one of which, that Dogmas can be very complicated, and placing them in a few words, could...

For the past several years, the Federal Reserve has been exploring the potential benefits and risks of CBDCs from a variety of angles, including through technological research and experimentation. Our key focus is on whether and how a CBDC could improve on an already safe, effective, dynamic, and efficient U.S. domestic payments system. We think it is important that any potential CBDC could serve as a complement to, and not a replacement of, cash and current private-sector digital forms of the dollar, such as deposits at commercial banks. The design of a CBDC would raise important monetary policy, financial stability,...

Over the last several weeks, a lot of information has been written about Dr. Fauci, the NIH, and the Wuhan Institute of Virology. The information that was written on it is public record, oftentimes found on the NIH’s own website. Yet despite this information being public, Dr. Fauci has insisted on denying the US-funded any gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. As we covered last week, the NIH awarded grants to two people/organizations: Dr. Ralph Baric and the EcoHealth Alliance, both of which either directly paid for or shared NIH-funded research of SARS viruses with Dr. Shi Zhengli...

If Ohio continues its current rate of COVID-19 vaccination, it could take until November to reach herd immunity, according to APM Research Lab, a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that produces a weekly report about vaccination progress across the country. And the nation’s political divide is reflected in its vaccination progress, APM found after analyzing federal data. In general, vaccination rates are higher in states that voted for President Joe Biden, and lower in states that supported former President Donald Trump in the 2020 election. Ayaz Hyder, assistant professor in the College of Public Health at Ohio State University, agrees with APM’s...

In his book Was Jesus a Socialist? author Lawrence W. Reed writes, “Almost everybody wants to help those in need. The crucial question is how to help. Let’s not make the mistake of arguing that to use force, plunder, and dependency is somehow ‘the Christian thing to do.’” [Emphasis his]Today we see the party in power in Washington, D.C. spending recklessly, ostensibly to help those in need. But one suspects they’re really just trying to buy votes by giving away “free” money. They are racking up debts so high they threaten our nation’s future. As Senator Rand Paul, Republican from...

Climate activist Isra Hirsi, the 18-year-old daughter of Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., added the communist hammer and sickle to her Twitter bio and has openly called for a communist revolution online. Hirsi, who co-founded the U.S. Youth Climate Strike and has received fawning coverage from liberal media outlets, added the infamous symbol to her profile at some point in the last three weeks, internet archives show. In addition to this, a year ago she openly called for a communist "revolution" online and is reportedly in charge of writing some of her mother’s tweets. Hirsi will be attending Columbia University in...

NFT Inc., an Israeli/American startup focused on future mobility, has announced it has started taking pre-orders for the ASKA, a folding, electric, street-legal, vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) vehicle that enables the driver to cruise along the city roads or through the air, New Atlas reports. Amid a progressive time where many startups are working on building their drive-and-fly crafts, NFT's SUV-sized ASKA, which means "flying bird" in Japanese, sets itself apart from other vehicles thanks to its teardrop cabin that enables it to take up to four people. The six-cylinder tail and electric lifting system help it to vertically...

Can you remember as far back as the 2020 campaign for President? If you can, you will surely recall candidate Joe Biden carefully positioning himself as the moderate relative to the other candidates from his party. This principle applied particularly to issues of energy and “climate.” For example, candidate Biden repeatedly denied on the debate stage that he had any plans to ban “fracking” for oil and gas. During the presidential debate of October 22, 2020, President Trump directly challenged candidate Biden, on the subject: “Would you close down the oil industry?” Biden responded that he “would transition away from...

TALLAHASSEE — A proposed rule that will be weighed by the State Board of Education aims to control the way history is taught in Florida classrooms and not allow teachers to “indoctrinate” students, as part of what state Education Commissioner Richard Corcoran called a “constant, vigilant fight.” The proposed rule seeks to put strict guidelines on teaching U.S. history. “Instruction on the required topics must be factual and objective and may not suppress or distort significant historical events, such as the Holocaust, and may not define American history as something other than the creation of a new nation based largely...

The European Parliament halted on Thursday ratification of a new investment pact with China until Beijing lifts sanctions on EU politicians, deepening a dispute in Sino-European relations and denying EU companies greater access to China. The resolution to freeze ratification passed with 599 votes in favour, 30 votes against and 58 abstentions. The EU-China Comprehensive Agreement on Investment, agreed by negotiators in December after seven years of talks, aimed to put EU companies on an equal footing in China and cement Beijing's status as a trusted trading partner. But Beijing imposed sanctions in March on 10 EU politicians, as well...
