Following the release of two videos showing Democrat operatives planning to disrupt Trump rallies with violence and to commit massive voter fraud, Newt Gingrich has one question. “Where is the FBI, why is the FBI not investigating this?” the former House speaker asked during an appearance on Fox News’ “Hannity” Tuesday. “You have a deliberate willful effort to foment violence, to break up a presidential campaign [and] to intimidate voters.”

The Feds Won’t Buy This $19 Million Stealth Boat—or Let It Be Sold Abroad
Self-made millionaire Gregory Sancoff has spent a decade and $19 million building a highly unusual stealth boat. Called Ghost, it’s designed to be faster, more stable, and more fuel-efficient than anything currently in the U.S. Navy’s fleet, he says. “It’s such a smooth ride, you can sit there and drink your coffee going through six-foot swells,” he proudly told Bloomberg Businessweek in 2014. But there’s a problem: The Pentagon doesn’t want Sancoff’s boat—and also won’t let him sell it abroad.

No, This Isn’t the “Most Important Election in Our Lifetime”
The rhetoric of “most important election of our lifetime” is more than non-falsifiable; it’s misguided and dangerous. In order to weigh our voting options more fairly in the 2016 election, we need to ditch the apocalyptic rhetoric.

Socialism Kills More Babies than War
Economic policy matters. While Venezuela’s socialism has managed to kill more infants than a full-blown war in Syria, Chile’s incredible success story shows us that by implementing the right policies, humanity can make rapid progress and better protect the youngest, most vulnerable members of society.

WikiLeaks Show Rothschilds Grooming Clinton for Presidency — Months Before She Launched Candidacy
Months before Hillary Clinton officially announced her bid for the presidency, the Rothschild family was hard at work helping craft her future economic policy. As Wikileaks reveals in the ongoing hugely-damaging release of John Podesta’s files, Lynn Forester de Rothschild, who maintains an incredibly cozy personal relationship with the Clintons, was already forming Hillary’s economic policy in January 2015 — long before the former secretary of state announced her candidacy.

A Realistic, Positive Picture of the State of Humanity
As we near the culmination of an election season that sees the ideas of classical liberalism, the Enlightenment and free enterprise in retreat, and demagoguery, authoritarianism and protectionism in ascendancy, it is good to remind ourselves of the progress that humanity has made thanks to economic and civil freedoms. As such, I include Norberg's chart showing the extraordinary global decline in child mortality, hunger, illiteracy, pollution and poverty since the fall of communism and rise of globalization in 1990.
