THE HIDDEN COST OF HOLIDAY GIFTS: HOW FORCED LABOR ENDS UP ON OUR
SHELVES
[[link removed]]


While out holiday shopping in Washington, D.C., recently, we picked up
a small toy for our nephew: a miniature Washington, D.C., city bus,
officially licensed by the city government. It was charming,
well-made, and the perfect gift. Yet, when we turned the box over, we
saw the toy was manufactured in Guangdong Province in China, […]

MODERN ROMANCE COULD USE A LITTLE JANE AUSTEN
[[link removed]]


This month marks the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen’s birth, and
across the country and the world, Austen fans are promenading forth
to mark the occasion with balls, tours, and fetes. There is no
denying that Austen’s influence, even all these years later, is
immense. But, on the surface, it’s hard to fathom why. Austen’s
novels present a […]

DEMOCRATS ARE CHOOSING CARTELS OVER AMERICANS
[[link removed]]


I recently came across an amusing meme: President Donald Trump,
dressed as a magician, lifts his wand and declares, “For my next
trick, I’ll make Democrats support the drug cartels.” And indeed,
he has. Over the past 10 months, Trump has forced Democrats into
defending some of the most indefensible, anti-American positions
imaginable: fierce opposition […]

THE POPULARITY OF ‘BUY NOW, PAY LATER’ IS A PRODUCT OF CONSUMER
PROFLIGACY, NOT POVERTY
[[link removed]]


If the economy is truly as abysmal as the pundit class claims it is,
consumers evidently have not yet gotten the memo. Half of all holiday
shoppers told PayPal that they would finance their purchases with
“buy now, pay later” schemes, spending over $10 billion in
November. According to Adobe, total holiday spending financed by […]

HOW NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS PERPETUATE THE CONFLICT IN GAZA
[[link removed]]


Gaza-focused nonprofit organizations and the United Nations are
infested with terrorist collaborators and sympathizers, perpetuating
the conflict in Gaza that necessitates more aid to be funneled through
those organizations. Internal Hamas security documents acquired by
Israel detail how the terrorist group planted operatives inside
U.N.-affiliated nonprofit organizations. Hamas requires that aid
groups put loyalists in […]

WHY GEORGIAN DREAM ISN’T TRUMP’S ALLY
[[link removed]]


Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze reacted with anger to my
latest article in the Washington Examiner this week. That article
considered the Georgian government’s possible use of a World War
I-era chemical agent during last year’s protest crackdowns. Why did
this strike such a sensitive nerve in Tbilisi? The primary answer is
that it appeared in a conservative U.S. media outlet. […]
