Donald Trump claims the U.S. presidential election is “rigged,” drawing condemnation from the political/media establishment which accuses him of undermining faith in American democracy. But neither side understands the real problem. The United States is so committed to the notion that its electoral process is the world’s “gold standard” that there has been a bipartisan determination to maintain the fiction even when evidence is overwhelming that a U.S. presidential election has been manipulated or stolen. The “wise men” of the system simply insist otherwise.

Markets Should Guide Mergers, Not Bureaucrats
The torture AT&T is about to undergo will test the libertarian-optimist theory that technology is more powerful than a bloody-minded bureaucrats. Let the merger proceed. It may be a wise business decision. Or it may be a foolish business decision. But that outcome should be determined by the preferences of consumers in a competitive marketplace.
The Zombie Epidemic of Idle Men
How do they support themselves? The short answer is, apparently they don’t. They are supported by parents, wives, girlfriends and government handouts. The death of work has ushered in additional costs at the personal and social levels that may be difficult to quantify but are easy to describe. These include the corrosive effects of prolonged idleness on personality and behavior, the loss of self-esteem and the respect of others that may attend a man’s voluntary loss of economic independence, and the loss of meaning and fulfillment that work demonstrably brings to so many (though admittedly not all) people.
Europe's Cuddly Capitalism Would Fail without Cutthroat America
Many progressive Democrats really have a thing for Scandinavia and its egalitarian social democracies. “I think we should look to countries like Denmark, like Sweden and Norway, and learn from what they have accomplished for their working people,” Bernie Sanders said during one of his debates with Hillary Clinton. Even though many countries may want to be like the Nordics with a more extensive safety net and a more egalitarian structures, it’s not really possible to have “cuddly” capitalism without America’s more high-pressure, competitive, or “cutthroat” capitalism.

Here’s Why It’s Wrong That America Refused to Defend Its Embargo on Cuba at the UN
For the first time ever, the United States abstained from voting on a United Nations resolution condemning America’s embargo on Cuba. This breaks decades of bipartisan support for U.S. law on the international stage. It shows just how far the Obama administration is willing to take its misguided and ill-informed Cuba policy.

WHAT’S PREVENTING A NEW OXFORD MOVEMENT?
"We shouldn’t compromise the traditions of High Church worship. But if we think the reverence that inspires them is important to the spiritual flourishing of the wider church, then we ourselves must practice them with reverence. If we worship with pride, then we will communicate pride. And if we communicate pride, then we cut off the possibility of something like a new Oxford Movement at its root by substantiating the perception of Anglo-Catholics as arrogant, haughty, and contemptuous."

Clinton's State Department Waste and Mismanagement
In 2008, her last year in the U.S. Senate, Hillary Clinton pledged she’d worked to “restore transparency and oversight to the federal contracting process.” But soon she became Secretary of State, with an opportunity to do just that, and failed miserably, wasting billions in taxpayer funds. From failed construction projects, wasted foreign aid, no bid contracts to cronies, and your dollars spent on everything from crystal stemware to buying copies of Barack Obama’s books, Hillary Clinton was a terrible steward of our taxpayer money, and can’t be trusted as President.
