Dr. Brian Joondeph discusses his recent essay in American Thinker, GOP Can’t Make Its Mind About Abortion. The issue of abortion has historically presented a challenge for the Republican Party, primarily due to difficulties in effectively communicating their stance. On one hand, the party often argues that abortion is a moral issue, one that the government should not attempt to regulate. This perspective suggests a belief in the limited role of government in personal moral decisions. However, a significant challenge arises from the party’s general failure to address the complexities and nuances surrounding abortion. This is in contrast to the Democratic Party, which typically demonstrates a more nuanced understanding and communication of these complexities, contributing to their more cohesive messaging on the topic.

Interview with Kurt Gerwitz

Finance professor Kurt Gerwitz shares his perspective on the economy, our national debt, and AI (artificial intelligence). In Gerwitz’s analysis of Sam Bankman-Fried’s downfall, he attributes the collapse to the inherent weaknesses of cryptocurrency. Gerwitz views cryptocurrency as lacking practical use beyond circumventing anti-money laundering regulations. He believes that this inherent flaw in the nature of cryptocurrency, characterized by its lack of proper structure and reliable backing, made the collapse of Bankman-Fried’s crypto dealings inevitable. Furthermore, Gerwitz extends his skepticism to Sam Altman’s Worldcoin cryptocurrency project, citing similar concerns about the fundamental instability and dubious practicality of such digital currencies.

Ed Deeds, my father, built things. If he could see it in his mind, it could become a reality. He built a house, a farm, a family, children, and grandchildren. Until we meet again, Dad! – Kim.
