Yes, the Muslim Brotherhood Is a Terrorist Organization
The White House is preparing to designate the Muslim Brotherhood a foreign terrorist organization, a measure that would impose economic and travel sanctions against the group.  "The president has consulted with his national security team and leaders in the region who share his concern, and this designation is working its way through the internal process," White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in an emailed statement on April 30.

Jesus Criticized For Lack Of Diversity Among Apostles
A leading New Testament scholar working at Unified Unity Divinity School has published a paper criticizing Jesus for a lack of diversity among the apostles He chose in the gospel accounts. The woman, Dr. Diana T. Manger, pointed out that Jesus only chose Jewish males, refusing to implement diversity quotas for his group of disciples. "Jesus chose all Jewish, cisgendered, able-bodied males: white supremacy, much?" she said as she presented her paper before a group of progressive scholars who had promised not to disagree with her. "It's obvious that Jesus was a nationalistic, xenophobic, hate-filled fearmonger."

Breaking up and Regulating Facebook: Unfair, Un-American, Unacceptable
Facebook co-founder Chris Hughes, former publisher of The New Republic, argues in a long essay for The New York Times that the company should be broken up and regulated, and indeed that this would be the “American” thing to do. His essay is full of assertions, half-truths, and misrepresentations that together amount to a very weak case for action. Indeed, if his advice were to be followed we would be left with a very un-American outcome—strong and proactive regulation of individuals’ speech.

Dismantling Free Markets Won't Solve Biodiversity Threat
It’s been calculated that if today’s population were to be fed using the mainly organic yields of 1960, we would have to farm 82% of the world’s land, whereas actually we farm about 38%. The biodiversity threat won’t be tackled by alarmist biologist hype and dismantling capitalism.

Dumbfounded by American Socialism
Why is it that in the United States of America, the country based on the premise of “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,” suddenly enlisted such an army of advocates for communism and socialism? Why do so many people on both the right and the left want to give our powerful and often inept federal government more and more control over our citizens? Why do some of us look to that government and demand such “rights” as a basic income for all, free medical care, and free universities, while at the same time that very government has buried us 22 trillion dollars deep in debt and counting? Let’s allow one survivor of Communism to stand as a witness for the oppression, broken dreams, and tens of millions of murders around the globe.
