OPINION: New Space Capitalism – The Entrepreneurial Path to the Stars

Lipton Matthews — Mon, 14 Sep 2026 02:00:00 +0000

A Review Rainer Zitelmann has built a career making the case for capitalism against its cultured despisers, and in this book he turns that project skyward. The argument is straightforward and, once stated, almost obvious: space is not primarily a government achievement that private enterprise has recently colonized, it is the other way around. The state involvement ... Read more

WARNER: Charlie Kirk – A Lightning Rod Even In Death

Aaron Warner — Mon, 14 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Not many people ascend to the level of an American hero upon their premature demise. The list of our nation’s political assassinations turned national martyrs is short yet distinguished: September, 10th, marked the one-year anniversary of Charlie’s untimely assassination while doing what he felt called to, namely speaking to a crowd of college students, challenging ...

MACDONALD: What’s So Funny?

Steve MacDonald — Sun, 13 Sep 2026 21:00:00 +0000

Don’t stop me if you’ve heard this one. Statistically, the majority of those who died on 9/11 in New York City were probably Democrats. Some of them were rich Democrats. Maybe even old-school Democrats, the sort who would have objected to the brash, youthful, and open embrace of Socialism and anti-Americanism that dominates the young ... Read more

EWING: It’s Worth It

Don — Sun, 13 Sep 2026 18:00:00 +0000

Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it. December 7, 1941 proved America’s vulnerability. Our Presidents mostly ignored Muslim terror attacks so we suffered the World Trade Center attack and 9/11/2001. The lesson: believe and stop an enemy who hates you, attacks and kills your people, declares its intent to destroy you, and ... Read more

CARDELLO: Apparently $40 Trillion Doesn’t Mean Much Anymore

Ray Cardello — Sun, 13 Sep 2026 14:00:00 +0000

I remember driving around with my Dad, and the AM radio was tuned to 850 WHDH. Dad loved that station because it featured a lot of Jazz programming. I recall most news reports ended with the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA), and back in the day, that’s the 1960s, to be more specific-it hovered around ... Read more

MACDONALD: The Greatest Threat In 2026 Is …?

Steve MacDonald — Sun, 13 Sep 2026 11:00:00 +0000

I was pondering what to write about when it occurred to me that we had not yet had our annual fearmongering over Triple E: Eastern Equine Encephalitis. Unless I missed it and I’ve been Johnny-on-the-spot all year with the latest thing. We had the not-so-catastrophic rise in tick bites, Hantavirus, Ebola, Tick bites again (Lone ... Read more
