Suspect in Paul Pelosi attack was in U.S. illegally, immigration officials say Border security matters. Securing our border is common sense and not an extreme policy position as some politicians and many in the media want you to believe. You’re not racist if you want a secure border. We should want people to come here...

When the Tobacco Control Act (TCA) was signed in 2009, it had the admirable goals of eliminating youth smoking and reducing tobacco-related harms. President Obama called the bill the “kids tobacco legislation,” and vowed that the “law will reduce the number of American children who pick up a cigarette and become adult smokers.” But he was clear that the...
In his inimitable style, the great English essayist, Samuel Johnson, boomed (he rarely spoke) that what is known isn’t always obvious and what is obvious isn’t always present. Before I am charged with stating the obvious, let me remind readers that Alfred North Whitehead said it takes extraordinary intelligence to contemplate the obvious. So, let’s...
BACKGROUND The “Inflation Reduction Act” spends hundreds of billions of dollars on President Biden’s wish list. It pays for it with big new taxes on big corporations.

Even if one only counts Carolina Journal opinion submissions, there is tangible anger over President Biden’s student loan forgiveness order. The administration is receiving plenty of backlash on multiple fronts. Those include the graduates that worked and paid back loans on their own, but the more politically damaging group is the working class that never even went...
President Biden announced on Wednesday that up to $20,000 of individual student loans would be forgiven in the recent move to forgive student debt. The eligibility for debt cancellation is as follows: To be eligible, your annual income must have fallen below $125,000 (for individuals) or $250,000 (for married couples or heads of households). If you received...
Amid crippling inflation and plummeting poll numbers, President Biden threw a Hail Mary this week — announcing a sweeping student loan forgiveness plan of up to $10,000 per borrower, or up to $20,000 for those with Pell Grants. Simply put, Biden’s grasping at more taxpayer dollars to influence the vote before the November midterms. As...
Of all the bad economic policies I’ve seen in government — and boy, let me tell you, I’ve seen a lot — the decision to “forgive” student debt is, by far, the worst by degrees of comparison. It is intellectually dishonest, it is morally indefensible, and it screams louder than any other thing the Biden administration has done, that...
Julien Benda’s classic work, “Treason of the Intellectuals,” appeared on the scene in 1927 but now speaks presciently to those of us living a century later.
