Where did America go? Not the land. Not the flag. Not the idea. The people. In this powerful and unfiltered letter, a U.S. Navy veteran asks the question many are thinking, but few are willing to say out loud: Why is it easier to fund war than to care for our own people? When did silence become acceptable in the face of what we know is wrong? And how did we become a nation that looks away instead of speaking up? This is not a political argument. This is a moral confrontation. This letter cuts through distraction, challenges complacency, and forces the reader to examine not just leadership, ...

President Donald J. Trump’s second term in office will be the most consequential administration in history because of the people and the policies that are markedly different than his first term. While the Left and their conspirators in the media thought they had vanquished Trump after the 2020 election, the leader of the Make America Great Again movement didn’t disappear as they had hoped. During President Biden’s administration, Trump was assembling the people and building the policies that will forever change the direction of this country.

As revelatory as Atul Gawande’s Being Mortal, physician and award-winning author Louise Aronson’s Elderhood is an essential, empathetic look at a vital but often disparaged stage of life. For more than 5,000 years, 'old' has been defined as beginning between the ages of 60 and 70. That means most people alive today will spend more years in elderhood than in childhood, and many will be elders for 40 years or more. Yet at the very moment that humans are living longer than ever before, we’ve made old age into a disease.

In the summer of 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court decided in Dobbs v. Jackson that it had made a mistake in the early 1970s when it found in Roe v. Wade that the constitution guaranteed a right to abortion. Everyone but the faithful, and the fearful, were stunned. In the years that will follow, Americans will surely come to doubt the wisdom of the ruling, to doubt the need to have ended abortion, and maybe even to doubt the fact that over 64 million unborn Americans died before Roe was overturned. Those who can remember must not forget, and must forever remind those with eyes to see and ears to...

Postwar New York City famously expired in a tableau of burning Bronx tenements, subway graffiti, crushing debt, and the tabloid headline “Ford to City: Drop Dead.” The city reemerged from the ashes to reach new heights, whether in stock averages or the gleaming pencil towers punctuating midtown. But at ground level, the city’s basic institutions—its housing, its schools, its public safety—were cracking. The city was rebuilt on a foundation of deep inequality.

There is a peculiar discomfort that arises when intelligent, serious people — scientists, military officers, intelligence analysts — claim to have witnessed something that should not be possible. The instinct, especially for those trained in rational inquiry, is to reach for an explanation that makes the problem go away: fraud, self-deception, wishful thinking. And sometimes that instinct is correct. But sometimes the discomfort itself is the most important data point. This book is about remote viewing: a claimed human ability to perceive information about distant locations, objects, or...

The machines are already here. They diagnose diseases, trade stocks, drive trucks, and manage the supply chains that keep civilization running. Most of us barely notice. But the quiet accumulation of autonomous capability is approaching a threshold beyond which everything changes: the nature of work, the distribution of wealth, the quality of our collective decisions, and even what it means to be a person.
