In the past two years, two competing groups of conservatives—National Conservatives or NatCons and Freedom Conservatives or FreeCons—have issued competing manifestos. These manifestos reflect a divergent understanding of the progressive challenge to the American way of life.This divergence can best be understood in the context of the history of modern American conservatism, which can be broken into three waves: the first wave, symbolized by William F. Buckley, Jr. and Ronald Reagan, lasted from the mid-1950s to the end of the Cold War; the second wave, symbolized by Paul Ryan and the two Bush presidencies, ran from the 1990s to roughly...

In May, Victoria’s Secret announced their once iconic Fashion Show lingerie extravaganza is “BACK and will reflect who we are today, plus everything you know and love—the glamour, runway, wings, musical entertainment, and more!” But who they are today is basically who they were during their hotness heyday, with a small expansion of their vision of beauty.

Researchers recently investigated the effect of extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) on brain health and memory to determine if consumption of extra virgin olive oil, the main component of the Mediterranean diet, can delay cognitive decline in people with Down syndrome (DS). DS is the most common genetically induced form of physical and intellectual disability, and while modern medical advances have helped to prolong life expectancy from around 40 years to an average of 60, the development of Alzheimer's disease (AD) in DS patients has become more common than ever before. Individuals with DS develop age-dependent cognitive decline and synaptic...

The Biden-Harris administration announced it would not be extending parole for the hundreds of thousands of non-citizens enrolled in a hotly debated migrant flight program, but border hawks say the tough declaration likely won’t lead to any of them being removed from the country.
