Nine Months of Javier Milei as President of Argentina: A Critical Assessment

In office for just over nine months, Argentine President Javier Milei continues to face enormous economic and political challenges. His support from Congress and the Senate is fragile, and the president’s opponents are trying to mobilize the masses against his policies.

Government Gaslights People about the Economy

The Abortion Lobby Wants Taxpayer-Funded Abortions

There’s a new ballot initiative in Colorado that shows what the “progressive” Left wants as the next step in abortion policy. Coloradans are now in the process of voting on Amendment 79 which paves the way for taxpayer-funded abortions and for protecting pro-abortion mandates on private insurance. The amendment would also create a legal right to an abortion in the state constitution. For many years—especially during the 1980s and 1990s— the...
