Poverty

Joe Biden says he'll "advance racial equity" by making "bold investments" in "Affordable Housing," aiding "businesses owned by Black and Brown people," establishing an "Equity Commission," etc. Gosh, that'll do it. Others demand reparations for slavery, more social programs and defunding the police. Yet, economist Thomas Sowell says, "I haven't been able to find a single country in the world…

Many of us will give money to charity this month. Americans give more than any other people in the world. Good for us. 56 years ago, because American charities hadn't ended poverty, politicians said they would end it. They declared a "war on poverty." That "war," so far, has cost $27 trillion. Some people were helped. But the handouts also had a bad effect.

If you’re a proud committed conservative who loves Christian principles and economic freedom in this country, you’ve no doubt had to face the niggling criticisms of the left saying you don’t actually give a damn about the poor or the disenfranchised. You’re not for socialized healthcare or free college for all, do you even care about the downtrodden in the street who need both?

These days a thriller about a global financial conspiracy is practically guaranteed to be permeated by liberal, anti-capitalist attitudes. Devils on The CW is no exception.

I was a teenager, growing up in the Richard Allen housing project of North Philadelphia, when Emmett Till was lynched in Money, Mississippi, on Aug. 28, 1955, and his brutalized, unrecognizable body later recovered from the Tallahatchie River. From 1882-1968, 4,743 lynchings occurred in the United States. Roughly 73%, or 3,446, were black people, and 27%, or 1,297, were white people. Many…

Wall Street veteran and Alpha Investor Editor Charles Mizrahi talked to MRC Business about his frustrations with the media’s leftist agenda using the coronavirus to attack American capitalism.

Journalists can’t handle the truth. The Big Three excuses for evening news shows ignored three major pieces of economic news that happened between September 15 and September 16. Median household income was “$68,703 in 2019, an increase of 6.8 percent from the 2018 median of $64,324,” according to the U.S. Census Bureau September 15.

There is very little new under the sun. The monument and statue destruction that we are witnessing has been witnessed in other times and other places. A tyrant's first battlefield is to rewrite history. Most notable were the political purges of Joseph Stalin. The Soviet government erased figures from Soviet history by renaming cities —  such as the Imperial capital of St. Petersburg to…

On Tuesday's The ReidOut, MSNBC host Joy Reid was joined by contributors Anand Giridharadas and Kurt Bardella as the three trashed Republicans for trying to restrain government spending as the three all went along with the premise that Republicans do so in part out of a lack of concern for minorities.

Washington Post art/architecture critic Philip Kennicott is an insufferable snob. America stinks, our democracy is a disaster...and he's supposed to be describing the makeover of a public library. The Post is so relentlessly liberal, the editorializing against America pops up everywhere.

On Wednesday morning’s CNN Newsroom, co-host Poppy Harlow brought on Democratic Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer to discuss the investigation of the killing of Breonna Taylor and at first, Harlow grilled Fischer over the investigation, but then softened when he endorsed parts of the Black Lives Matter radical agenda. Harlow revealed herself to not just be a Democrat, but a radical…

On Wednesday's Full Frontal with Samantha Bee on TBS, the show gave a forum to far-left minister, the Reverend William Barber, to complain about the attention given to the violence perpetrated by some left-wing protesters in which he ridiculously tried to equate opposition to liberal policy positions to violence.

Appearing as a guest on Sunday's AM Joy, MSNBC weekend host Ali Velshi again rationalized the actions of rioters as he got up on a soap box and preached about "institutional, socioeconomic injustice and racism" against the black population being the motivation for riots in Minneapolis and other cities. His commentary elicited an "amen" from liberal host MSNBC host Joy Behar.

Imagine that you are an unborn spirit in heaven. God condemns you to a life of poverty but will permit you to choose the country in which you will spend your life. Which country would you choose? I would choose the United States of America. A recent study by Just Facts, an excellent source of factual information, shows that after accounting for income, charity and noncash welfare benefits such…
