[ad_1] Ukraine’s accession to the European Union is not only a political process. It is a strategic security choice for Ukraine and for Europe. That is why Russia is attacking it not only with missiles, but also with manipulation, fear, and distrust. A joint report by the European External Action Service (EEAS) and the Center for Countering Disinformation (CCD), Beyond the Battlefield: Russia’s Information War Against Ukraine’s European Future, shows that Russia’s attempts to undermine Ukraine’s EU path are systematic, coordinated, and persistent. They are not isolated ‘fake news’ stories. They are part of a wider Foreign Information Manipulation and…

[ad_1] Yes, I’ve written about it before (and before that, too), but it still strikes me whenever… oh, sorry, this almost 82-year-old just nodded off (like “our” President Donald Trump in the middle of a thought)… I was going to say, whenever I read about him closing his eyes and dozing off during some meeting or at some other moment of significance. I mean, what can you expect from the man who, if he truly lasts until January 2029, will indeed be the oldest president in American history (although give Joe Biden full credit, he at least came close)? On the first day of…

[ad_1] The SAVE America Act has extensive provisions on the requirements for an individual to register to vote in a federal election. The Act is premised on a simple idea: Anyone registering to vote in a federal election should provide proof of U.S. citizenship. On its face, that seems pretty reasonable. But this is definitely a case where the devil is in the details. The Act requires that a person must present “documentary proof” of citizenship to register. That will generally be either a birth certificate, a passport, or a naturalization certificate. (There are some other acceptable documents, but they…

[ad_1] Over 17 days in June 1776, a 33-year-old man bent over his lap desk, putting ink on paper, scratching out words, revising.  His countrymen were at war with their government. His mission was clear: Write a case for separating 13 English colonies from monarchical rule. Thomas Jefferson had advocated a year earlier to take up arms against the government to change the conditions citizens had been subjected to under British rule. Now he was certain the colonies needed to be free and self-governed. His colleagues had chosen him to be the primary author of a statement making clear why.…

[ad_1] Last year, the Supreme Court declined to hear a challenge to Maryland’s “assault weapon” ban, which covers some of the most popular rifles sold in the United States, including the AR-15. “Given that millions of Americans own AR–15s and that a significant majority of the States allow possession of those rifles,” Justice Brett Kavanaugh said at the time, “petitioners have a strong argument that AR–15s are in ‘common use’ by law-abiding citizens and therefore are protected by the Second Amendment.” Although Kavanaugh nevertheless voted against granting that petition, he said “this Court should and presumably will address the AR–15 issue…

[ad_1] Energy Island Long time readers may recall the many articles we wrote over many years highlighting the madness of California planners and policymakers. We were born and raised in the land of fruits and nuts and lived and worked there for over four decades. About four years ago, we made our California exodus. At the time, we thought our coverage of the Golden State’s self-destruction would continue. We still have family and friends there who we visit from time to time. But, as we’ve found, without a front row seat to the big show we’re less inclined to gawk at…

[ad_1] My latest column in Civitas Outlook is a bit personal, and reflects a recent trip to a Houston-area library. It is titled, “Immigration Indoctrination: Story Time For the Fourth of July” Here is the opening: I recently took my young children to the public library for an early celebration of America’s 250th Birthday. Perhaps naively, I expected a patriotic gathering that would help my kids feel proud of America. No such luck. During story time, the librarian could have selected any children’s book about American history, independence, or what made America exceptional. Instead, she chose a book that spent every…
