  • The 21-Year Drinking Age is Dumb and Should be Repealed

    The 21-Year Drinking Age is Dumb and Should be Repealed0

    The national discussion on prohibition has centered almost exclusively on pot, and whether states will or should be allowed to proceed with legalization. Largely forgotten is federal legislation that incentivizes states to make it illegal for young adults—those aged 18, 19, and 20—to drink alcohol.   The U.S. has one of the most stringent drinking

  • The 2017 Atlantic Hurricane Season Has Not Been Historically Unusual0

    The 2017 Atlantic hurricane season got an early start with Arlene in April, but the most powerful storms didn’t start to hit until the last week of August, when Hurricane Harvey flooded Texas and Louisiana.

    The 2010s: A Decade of Disappearing Youth in America0

    As we enter the 2020s, the world has become increasingly cognizant of the need for more babies after a decade of worryingly low growth.

    I recently wrote about an old 1984 interview with former communist Yuri Bezmenov, who described the “ideological subversion” which could eventually take down America. It sounds like the stuff of conspiracy theories – until one realizes that his predictions of “demoralization,” “destabilization,” and “crisis” are all unfolding before our eyes.

    The 1619 Project and the ‘Reframing’ of History0

    There are many reasons why Indiana Jones became an iconic character after his debut in the 1981 Raiders of the Lost Ark, but one of them is because he is an archeologist and a historian. The contrast between the whip-wielding adventurer and his chosen profession made a beautiful irony, since the stereotype of the historian is
