News

Church Shooting

Shooting

A horrifying tragedy occurred in Charleston on Wednesday night. Nine people were shot to death by a young white man at a black church Bible study. In response, we have seen the Left and Right aligning in their concern and outrage. Glenn Beck announced he would travel to Charleston and that Martin Luther King's niece, Alveda King, would be joining him.

How Partisan Politics Narrows Your Thinking

Bias

When it comes to politics, do you think for yourself? Or do you allow politicians, the media and political parties tell you what to believe?

You may consider these questions ridiculous, if not downright insulting. Of course no one tells you what to think!

Story of the Week: Battling ISIS in Iraq

The President has just authorized sending up to 450 additional troops to Iraq. The stated goal: increase training of local security forces in their fight against ISIS. There are already 3,100 U.S. troops at four training sites in Iraq. Is this move reasonable, too aggressive, not aggressive enough, or missing the mark altogether?

News

Trade

News

Earlier this week Obama's own party resisted his lobbying for a major trade bill, but on Wednesday Senate leaders said they had forged a deal to move forward with the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and Trade Promotion Authority (TPA). Will this bill ultimately be considered a bipartisan success that benefits Americans or something harmful to the economy, jobs, and US citizens? Or, is the answer somewhere in between?
