Andy Young: A famous celebrity and what I know for sure
Given America’s cultish fascination with celebrity and the prominence of contemporary “newsmakers” (think Bill Cosby, Harvey Weinstein, Roseanne Barr, and the numerous sycophants, kleptocrats and aspiring tell-all authors in and around the White House, to name just a few), it is easy to conclude fame, without due caution, may be every bit as dangerous as […]
Scott Rasmussen: Contrary to media coverage, most Americans aren’t that into politics
For many obsessed with politics, the upcoming midterm elections are perceived as a fight between good and evil that will determine the fate of the nation. In the narrative framed by true believers and much media coverage, it’s a fight between those who are convinced that President Donald Trump can make America great and those […]

Mark Hendrickson: Trump on Trade: The Latest on the Tariff Strategy
When I commented in March about President Donald Trump’s plan to impose tariffs on imported steel, I was hoping that he would back off from imposing tariffs on our allies.

The first billionaire in U.S. History was John D. Rockefeller. He and J. P. Morgan dominated late 19th and early 20th centuries economic and political history, more especially after they teamed up to create The Council on Foreign Relations in 1921 — quickly becoming the most powerful political special interest group in U.S. History. Recently we published […]
Joseph Horton: We need to stop eating the marshmallows
In a classic psychological study, hungry 4-year-olds were offered a marshmallow. They were told that if they could wait about 20 minutes before eating, they could have two marshmallows instead of one. Only about one-third of the children successfully delayed gratification and got two marshmallows. This ability to delay gratification as children predicted success in […]
