Say this to the DEI radicals who have run higher education into the ground: They’re shameless. A case in point is Santa Ono, the president of the University of Michigan and a current finalist for president of the University of Florida. Ono has spent his entire career building DEI bureaucracies, pushing climate radicalism, and injecting… Continue reading Will Florida’s Leaders Green Light a DEI Radical?

This is the second of a two-part series on the global housing crisis. Read the first installment here. The affordable housing crisis in America and many other advanced countries keeps getting worse because it is largely dominated by the wrong voices talking about the wrong places. For years the YIMBYs and NIMBYs have debated development in… Continue reading Building the Future: Fixing the Global Housing Crisis

Pennsylvania’s latest national rankings are not just embarrassing – they’re a policy indictment. But for Republicans, they also offer something else: a clear political opportunity. U.S. News & World Report ranks Pennsylvania 41st out of 50 states. Of the six states bordering the Commonwealth, five ranked higher. Only West Virginia fared worse.

Like the weather, everyone complains about Pentagon spending and mismanagement, but no one does anything about it. Leaders of the world’s most expensive military have refused to conduct or failed to complete every internal financial audit since Congress first demanded such accountability in the 1990s. The Department of Defense owns over 70% of the nation’s assets and can’t account… Continue reading Unbridled: How Massive Pentagon Spending Happens by Design
