Far too many people are unaware of the Khmer Rouge regime, the communist government that ruled Cambodia for several years after the Vietnam War. Some may have heard of its leader, Pol Pot, the monstrous dictator who ruled over the once-prosperous and peaceful nation with an iron fist for far […]
Over the past few years, socialism has gained traction in the U.S. political discourse, primarily due to self-avowed democratic socialists constantly touting the so-called Scandinavian socialist miracle. In reality, the Scandinavian socialist miracle is about as real as Santa Claus or the Tooth Fairy. The Nordic nations that are commonly […]
An examination of human migration patterns over the past several thousand years demonstrates one fundamental truth: People seek places where they can be free and can pursue prosperity. This simple premise explains why the United States, the world’s beacon of liberty for more than two centuries, has been a magnet […]
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), a leading contender for her party’s 2020 presidential sweepstakes, recently released her long-awaited Medicare for All plan.

October is just around the corner, which means Americans are gearing up for two hallowed traditions: postseason baseball and political primaries. Both contests (the World Series and the race for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination) promise to be full of suspense, shenanigans, and splendor. This year, the Boston Red Sox, […]
Despite popular belief (according to Wikipedia and the public school system) that Adolf Hitler was a far-right conservative, he was actually a far-left socialist who used his unfettered power to suppress freedom, murder millions, and instigate the most destructive war in human history. Hitler was the leader of the Nationalsozialistische […]
After more than two centuries of (somewhat) limited government in the United States, is the tide turning against individual freedom and state sovereignty in favor of an empowered collective and unfettered federal power? According to recent polls, a large number of Americans (especially Millennials) prefer the latter. Millions of Americans […]
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Rep.
