I've long believed the majority of the conflicts around us are merely extensions of an eternal war between darkness and light. Dr. Walter E. Williams has a fascinating column on the dark side of one of history's most diabolical philosophical giants--Karl Marx.

Why aren't we hearing more about the South Dakota's approach to dealing with Covid-19? Amelia Janaskie says South Dakota could be favorably compared with Sweden in terms of how it handled the pandemic.

Will further, more restrictive, lockdowns be imposed as we move forward? The answer to that question isn't solely in the hands of government officials. Ryan McMacken warns that governments are likely to impose new lockdowns, if they think they can get away with it.

In case you hadn't noticed, speaking the truth is not getting any easier. This is especially true when dealing with violent ideologies that insist on "purity" and absolute adherence to their line of thinking.

Here's a question not many of us want to consider: What if 2021 is even more challenging than 2020? Scary thought, huh? Robert E. Wright has some things worth considering about what the coming year may bring.

No matter what next year brings, it's essential that we remember that we have great power over where we choose to focus our attention. Barry Brownstein has a wonderful essay explaining why this is so crucial in good times or bad.

As fed up as people are with the two party system, is it likely that anything is going to change any time soon? James R. Harrigan from the Words & Numbers podcast stops by to share his thoughts on the matter. We also discuss how entrepreneurs respond when the financial rug is pulled out from under their feet.

THE NEW NORMAL IS NO NORMAL

Most folks have never heard of critical race theory but they've definitely experienced it. If you've sat through mandatory sensitivity training, you were being told what you can and cannot safely think or believe. If that sounds like a bad idea, look out. Paul Bradford says we're only getting started on woke government training.

When the president instructed departments of the federal government to stop critical race theory training, he was accused of pandering to his base. Dan Sanchez, Tyler Brandt and Brad Polumbo have teamed up with an enlightening explanation of why this isn't simply political football or censorship. It's a refusal to let toxic, divisive neo-Marxist ideologies be spread with taxpayer dollars.

If you were asked to describe American culture, would you use words like "free" "prosperous" or "virtuous"? The current pandemic is revealing a shift that has been taking place for many years throughout society. Jenin Younes explains why American culture in 2020 is likely better defined by terms like "coercive" and "compliant".

Many of us are less concerned about the political players in this 2020 election and more concerned about their followers. Politics makes people tribal and hard times make them desperate. Kent McManigal explains where he sees the greater threat to his peace and well-being.

Why do we cook? It's more than simply a means of keeping our bellies full. As Anders Koskinen points out, cooking is a healthy, unifying hobby that betters our lives and the lives of those around us.

How did so many Americans become misled and misinformed about our nation's history? Jarrett Stepman says, a radical historian named Howard Zinn is responsible for much of the distorted narrative that's driving so much of today's unrest.

We've had a lot of learning opportunities this year. Most of them painful ones. As Ryan McMacken explains, one of the biggest takeaways should be the fact that it's far too late to think lockdowns can make Covid-19 go away.

Speaking of lessons learned, the aftermath of the official response to 9/11 could have been a graduate level course in how to take advantage of a crisis. Helen Buyniski points out that the "new normal" that followed the terror attacks should have been a clear warning for us as the current pandemic unfolded. Instead, history appears to be repeating itself.

A federal judge in Pennsylvania has made official what many of us already understood: stay-at-home orders and mandatory business closures are blatantly unconstitutional. Stacey Rudin has an excellent essay on the judge's statement and why we must not allow elected and unelected officials get away with exceeding their legitimate authority.

As the election draws nearer, there's an undeniable sense that much of the current Covid-19 response is being used as political leverage against the citizenry. John Tamny rightly likens the lockdowns to an election year ransom note. It's as if we're being told, "We'll see about relaxing the restrictions once the election is over." That sounds like politicians who are terrified about being held accountable for the harm they've caused.
