Preparing For The Future
The study of strategy and military history is simply disappearing from all the major universities and colleges in the United States. The academic world has enthusiastically embraced the idea that war, strategy, and diplomacy are disappearing from the world. Given what has transpired over the past two decades, such attitudes represent the comfortable assumptions of those with their heads in the sand.

A Welcome Dent in Planned Parenthood
The Trump administration has finalized a new rule that likely will result in the largest drop in federal funding for Planned Parenthood since the group first began receiving government subsidies nearly five decades ago. The rule forbids the use of Title X family-planning funds “to perform, promote, refer for, or support abortion as a method of family planning.” The statute governing the program has always declared that “none of the funds appropriated under this title shall be used in programs where abortion is a method of family planning,” but for much of the program’s history that language was effectively ignored. The Trump administration is insisting that it will no longer be.

Colorado Moves To Bypass Electoral College To Stop Trump: Will Assign Electoral Votes To Popular Vote Winner
Certain political elements within the United States simply can’t deal with the fact that our Founders created a voting system that ensured limitations on mob rule stemming from a handful of cities throughout the country. To protect the rights of all Americans, including those living in smaller rural counties, they came up with the electoral college, a method by which all Americans from varying backgrounds and ideologies can be represented during a Presidential election.
