By Terence P. Jeffrey, CNSNews - Americans spent more money in 2022 buying imports from a country governed by a genocidal, communist regime... Specifically, U.S. imports from China last year equaled $536,754,100,000... Congress should pass legislation that gradually imposes a prohibitive tariff on all goods produced in the People's Republic of China. When China stops committing genocide and establishes a government that respects the God-given rights of its people, that prohibitive tariff can be lifted and U.S. trade with China can resume.

By Douglas Andrews, Patriot Post - An awful train derailment in rural Ohio nearly two weeks ago doesn’t seem to have gotten the attention it deserves... It’s been nearly a decade since a runaway train hauling 72 tankers of crude oil derailed near the center of Lac-Mégantic, Quebec. The subsequent explosion and inferno pretty much wiped out the town and killed 47 of its 6,000 residents. And yet, rather remarkably, it ranks as only the fourth-deadliest railway disaster in Canadian history.

By Anthony Esolen. American Greatness - To what extent you can have a nation without a common or dominant religious faith is an anthropological question that Pope Francis, as far as I can gather, has not specifically asked, nor have Americans asked it in my lifetime. Some would gladly do away with both nationhood and religious faith, at one stroke, thinking to bring peace thereby. That would be a blank peace, in which no one fights because no one believes in anything anymore, or loves anything enough to fight for it; the peace of spiritual and cultural death. No true friend of man can desire it

By Timothy Furnish, The Stream - The major flaw in the American treatment of Russia, since the end of the Cold War? An inability, or outright refusal, to grant any validity to Moscow’s perspective on security. True, Stalin did bring down an Iron Curtain after World War II. But only after the Nazis had killed 20 million Russians. And before that, there was Napoleon’s invasion, as well as others. Russia gets invaded. Repeatedly. The U.S. has never had such concerns.
