On March 1, facing the highest COVID-19 infection rate in the world, the Czech Republic’s Prime Minister Andrej Babis introduced what was described as the strictest lockdown in the nation to date. “People are banned from travelling within the country, between districts, and cannot visit one another,” Al Jazeera reported. “All retailers, except essential shops such as supermarkets, are closed.” The coronavirus has been hard on everyone, but it has been particularly hard on the Czech Republic. The landlocked Central European nation has the highest COVID mortality rate of any country in the world with more than a million people, with 2,614 deaths per one million people. ... The dark and empty streets devoid of commerce have brought back memories of a past that many Czechs would sooner forget.

The facts show that thrusting individuals with gender dysphoria into a stressful military environment would have devastating consequences. Permitting them to serve also violates the principle of not placing individuals at greater risk of injury in harm’s way. This policy will weaken the U.S. military and signal to our enemies that the force is more concerned with political correctness than in challenging our adversaries.
In their next major spending bill, President Biden and the Democratic majorities in Congress are proposing to lower Medicare’s age of eligibility to 60. Why should employers continue to provide health coverage for 60-year-old workers and their families when the taxpayers can be forced to pick up the tab? A rational and responsible policy would reform and stabilize the troubled program, reduce its deficits and debt, rather than worsen its financial condition.
Medicaid is a joint federal–state program aimed at providing health care assistance to certain low-income individuals. Competing beneficiary priorities, a cumbersome and outdated administrative structure, and a flawed financing model are weakening the foundation of the program. Instead of undermining this federal–state partnership with a one-size-fits-all federal approach, Congress should ensure that states have the flexibility to adapt. In addition, Congress should take steps to address the more fundamental challenges facing the program, including preserving eligibility for those in need, allowing benefits to match the needs of beneficiaries more precisely, and restructuring the financing to target resources and dollars more effectively.
More than one-third of active-duty military personnel reported that dissatisfaction with their children’s education options. Education savings accounts for military-connected children would give families the flexibility necessary to accommodate military service and their education needs. Education savings accounts could have myriad other positive benefits, such as improving recruitment and retention rates.
Technological threats have always been a part of the discussion when assessing global threats, but now they are at the forefront. How do we view the relationship between government partners and U.S. technology agencies at the moment, and what could improve those relationships? As we look at U.S. policies moving forward, a comprehensive strategy must be established to tackle the ever-growing technology threats abroad and at home.
When historians botch the job, it’s not a total loss. Something good can be drawn from even the worst military history. A skeptical reading of the past sharpens critical thinking skills, like how to pick out lumpers and splitters. In an essay entitled “The Burden of Proof,” historian J. H. Hexter described what makes for bad history. Witness the huge controversy that has erupted over teaching the 1619 Project in schools as legitimate history. The great value of military history is not in the greatness of the historian, but in the rigorous critique of the sources and methods behind their histories.
She and the woke left want all women’s professional sports (not just the Olympics) salaries to be artificially inflated to match the men’s. There is no barrier to playing soccer on sex grounds, let alone a justification for the White House to make it its priority to increase access. This one is a lot simpler than politicians care to admit: women’s professional soccer isn’t profitable because there aren’t many people who want to watch it.
Her national reputation comes from her radical pro-criminal, anti-victim policies and a series of high-profile missteps she has made. Questions arose about whether Gardner properly disclosed her activist-sponsored travel around the country. Rather than acknowledging her mistakes and focusing on ways to combat the rising tide of violent crime in her city, Gardner seems to be doubling down.

Additional human beings add to our economic capacity rather than diminishing it, because people are the solvers of economic problems.
