Between China being riled by Trump and the UK departing the EU, this could be the start of a new alliance. As Brexit negotiations formally begin next month, we must look to the subtle Sino-Anglo alliance that may be slowly forming between Beijing and the City of London, a quasi-pseudo-city-state within Greater London.
Many people in America and around the world may disapprove of Donald Trump’s posture on a wide range of domestic and foreign issues, but perhaps few can disagree with his view on China’s military posturing in the South China Sea.

FOIA Productions: An Incomplete Story
Like other watchdog groups, perhaps more actively than most, CEI has for years sought release of public records, to help inform the public who owns them of important details related to the creation and implementation of major policy proposals — as well as policymakers and the courts who should be guided by such information. Many of these documents were improperly redacted and should be subject to further review by the Trump administration as they rightfully belong to Americans as public records.
FCC Stay of Privacy Rule Prevents Irreparable Injury to Businesses and Consumers
This week, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) issued a temporary stay of part of its privacy rule for internet service providers. The Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI) argues the decision was correct because the FCC’s privacy rule produces poor outcomes for consumers, oversteps its bounds, and unlawfully expands the agency’s authority in an area that is and should be under the jurisdiction of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).

Medicaid is a Growing Mess
The United States is going to become another Greece, and it’s largely because of poorly designed entitlement programs. Medicaid was never supposed to become a massive entitlement program. It was basically created so the crowd in Washington could buy a few votes. Yet the moment politicians decided that the federal government had a role in subsidizing health care for the indigent, it was just a matter of time before the program was expanded to new groups of potential voters.

How Soros Money Is Corrupting Politics in This Small European Nation
In the economy of world politics, George Soros has billions at stake. He is pushing his leftist agenda even in the remote nation of Macedonia—with the assistance of U.S. grants.
This News Network Could Shake Up the Media Scene in Putin’s Russia
ussian propaganda and influence operations have escalated over the past decade, and have especially intensified after the invasion of Ukraine. Plain and simple, the Kremlin has declared war on the concept of objective news reporting—on the airwaves as well as on the internet. Years in the making and with a modest budget of $10 million, the U.S. government has finally produced its own response: a 24/7 news network called Current Time. It is aimed at giving native Russian speakers facts and news in their own language and at challenging the false narratives imbedded in much official Russian news and entertainment.
Why Trump Should Fund This Vital Diplomatic Program, Despite International Cuts
As the Trump administration considers cuts to the budgets of the State Department, U.S. Agency for International Development, and other international affairs agencies, it must not sacrifice programs that are tangibly preventing conflict and promoting peace. As Defense Secretary James Mattis was quoted as saying when he served as CENTCOM commander, “If you don’t fully fund the State Department, then I need to buy more ammunition.” The U.S. Institute of Peace does vital work on the ground that prevents foreign conflicts and saves U.S. defense dollars.

Christians have lost the culture wars. Should they withdraw from the mainstream?
Conservative Christians in America are enjoying fresh winds of political favor. In his first month in office, President Trump upheld his promise to nominate a conservative Supreme Court justice. Last week, his administration rescinded former guidelines allowing transgender students to use the public school bathrooms of their choice. And evangelical leaders report having direct access to the Oval Office. For all his clear foibles, Trump seems to be heeding concerns that drew much white evangelical and Catholic support during the 2016 election. So it’s an interesting time for conservative Christians — traditional Orthodox, Catholic, and evangelical Protestants — to consider withdrawing from American public life. And yet in the coming weeks and months, expect to hear a lot about the Benedict Option. It’s a provocative vision for Christians outlined in a new book by Rod Dreher, who has explored it for the past decade on his lively American Conservative blog.
