SIMI VALLEY, CALIF. " The era of "feckless nation building" is over, War Secretary Pete Hegseth told a room full of legislators, military personnel, and defense industry executives, as he delivered the keynote address at the Reagan National Defense Forum Saturday. He explained that, since the end of the Cold War, an entire generation of warmongers has used Reagan"s name to justify endless foreign intervention while destroying America"s domestic industrial base and economy. Hegseth outlined a plan to build up America"s defenses so other countries perceive them as insurmountable and forego war. He also laid out a shift that means the historically top defense manufacturers " referred to as "primes" " would not necessarily be a shoe-in…...

5+ hour, 5+ min ago (162+ words) To watch the Hollywood celebrities walking the red carpet at the Red Sea Film Festival in Saudi Arabia speaks so much to their lack of education. There's actually a Page Six video report from the red carpet. You can see it below. Have any of these people read " yes, I mean read aside from a script " the Human Rights report about Saudi Arabia? Maybe someone can read it to them. It's right here. The need for adulation is so pathetic. If any of these celebrities touched down in Riyadh for an hour as a regular tourist they'd be arrested, if not chopped up for a salad. The locals they're talking to on the red carpet have no rights whatsoever. The Red Sea Festival isn't happening independently of the royal family. If that's what these actors think, they're really more clueless…...

(Third column, 3rd story, link) Paganism is the obvious religion for post-faith Britain "It is a different kind of religion that seeks neither converts nor members." Credit: Getty Can Trump win the affordability debate? EU market reforms won"t bring back growth Paganism might be the obvious choice of religion for post-Covid Britain, where not only places of worship but also in-person voluntary groups of all kinds are suffering from a crisis of commitment and participation. This doesn"t mean that people no longer have an interest in religion. Rather, cultures of religiosity in an increasingly online world are steadily shifting away from the Victorian model of bums on pews; church attendance, for instance, has yet to return to its pre-pandemic level. Understandably, people who select their own communities are drawn to "unorganised religion" " wholly…...

The vote marks a major victory for Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.s "Make America Healthy Again" effort to overhaul the childhood vaccine schedule amid questions over the exponential rise in childhood autism. The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices voted 8 to 3 to advise that mothers who test negative for hepatitis B should decide with their doctor "when or if" their newborns receive the vaccine.

If it did that for you, I hope you'll consider supporting our efforts to keep reaching'and creating'the next generation of libertarians.

10+ hour, 53+ min ago (271+ words) The court's rationale for dismissing the case simply ignores the plaintiffs' allegations. David Bernstein | 12.7.2025 7:51 AM I recently read the complaint and district court opinion in Yakoby v. Trustees of University of Pennsylvania. The plaintiffs brought several claims against Penn, including that Penn tolerated a hostile environment for Jewish students in violation of Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. The case is currently on appeal to the Third Circuit. In June, district court judge Mitchell S. Goldberg dismissed the Title VI complaint with the remarkable assertion that "At worst, Plaintiffs accuse Penn of tolerating and permitting the expression of viewpoints which differ from their own." I say remarkable, because the plaintiffs did in fact make a series allegations that went well beyond (and in most cases had nothing to do with) Penn "tolerating and permission the expression of viewpoints" the plaintiffs disagreed…...
