Being a good father means rethinking masculinity
AFP via Getty Images Michael Ian Black on how to raise better men. As Father’s Day approaches, I’ve been thinking a lot about my experiences as a dad and how rewarding — and confounding — they can be. Which is why a recent book by Michael Ian Black, called *A Better Man: A (Mostly Serious) Letter to My Son*, captured my attention. Black is a comedian, writer, and actor who you likely know from his roles in *Wet Hot American Summer*, *The State*, and *Stella*. His book — published in 2020 and now out in paperback — is a revealing piece of writing, one that walks the line between f... read more

"Executive Order 14067: Biden Orders US Dollar Replaced with Trackable “Spyware” Version"
*"Biden Orders US Dollar Replaced * *with Trackable 'Spyware' Version"* by Jim Rickards "On March 9, President Biden quietly signed his Executive Order 14067. This Order could pave the way for Democrats holding onto power in 2024. In fact, they may control America indefinitely. The Order demands the government look into a digital “spyware” currency I call Biden Bucks which could eventually replace the US dollar. I believe Biden Bucks would allow for: • Legal government surveillance of all US citizens… • Total control over your bank accounts and purchases, and… •The ability to silence... read more

*"Life Comes at You Fast, So You Better Be Ready"* by Ryan Holiday "In 1880, Theodore Roosevelt wrote to his brother, “My happiness is so great that it makes me almost afraid.” In October of that year, life got even better. As he wrote in his diary the night of his wedding to Alice Hathaway Lee, “Our intense happiness is too sacred to be written about.” He would consider it to be one of the best years of his life: he got married, wrote a book, attended law school, and won his first election for public office.

Obama's DACA disaster
Breitbart: Ten years ago, in 2012, former President Barack Obama created the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program via executive order that has allowed nearly 800,000 illegal aliens to evade arrest and deportation. Standards for the Obama program were set so low that tens of thousands of illegal aliens with prior arrest records for crimes like murder, rape, and kidnapping were able to secure DACA status. In 2018, then-President Trump’s administration released comprehensive data on DACA, previously hidden by the Obama administration, that revealed the extent to wh... read more

Because blaming others for inflation hasn’t worked, the Biden White House is trying yet another new strategy: claiming that inflation is bad (and even worse) everywhere else. This week, Biden claimed that the United States is actually doing better than other countries that are also experiencing inflation. “We’re in a stronger position than any nation in the world to overcome this inflation,” Biden claimed. “If it’s my fault, why is it the case i... read more
