Commentary Gavin Newsom’s commercial advertisement in Florida has been justifiably ridiculed as a thinly-veiled political ploy meant to prime audiences for his 2024 presidential run. “Freedom is under attack,” the governor of the Golden State announced. “I urge all of you in Florida to join the fight.

Commentary The electric vehicle market is growing. Last year, EV sales doubled to a record high of 6.6 million. Is the EV race a sprint or marathon? This question divides commentators.

Defending the ‘Democratic Coup’
Commentary Dictators in China, Russia, Burma (Myanmar), and Ethiopia are today conducting genocide. Others in North Korea, Iran, and Venezuela add to the millions of deaths, arbitrary detentions, torture victims, and refugees. They use force daily to stay in power and, thus, can only normally be removed by force. Sometimes with a helping hand from…
Bill Nelson, Lori Garver, and How We May Lose the Moon to China
Commentary Former Senator Bill Nelson, the current administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), told the German newspaper Bild on July 2, “There is a new race to space, this time with China.” Whether America and the free world will win that race has much to do with Nelson’s budgetary and political battles…

China’s GDP likely shrank in the second quarter, contrary to official reports, as the country is seen making attempts on several fronts to desperately boost its ravaged economy.

Is Twitch Even More Dangerous Than TikTok?
Commentary After two young girls died participating in a viral challenge, TikTok, the most popular app in the world, is being sued for promoting “dangerous algorithms.” Created in China and exported to the world, TikTok is an app that really should be banned.

Biden Administration Is Working to Reduce China Investment and Trade—But Moving Slowly
Commentary The Biden administration is taking steps to restrict China’s investment and trade to slow Beijing’s quest for dominance, but it is slow going with piecemeal and often uncoordinated legislation.

Commentary Is Russia worthy of being called a “great power,” let alone a superpower? Not to kick someone when they’re down, but it’s difficult to argue that Vladimir Putin represents anything other than a middling regional state, albeit the largest country in the world and one with nuclear weapons.

Commentary Each bit of inflation news discredits Washington’s excuses. America recently received still more bad inflation news.
