Canada’s economy is in the toilet, has an electorate that is overwhelmingly left wing, and a healthcare system that encourages physician assisted suicide over basic treatment. Canada’s systemic problems have meant that Canadian voters were slowly starting to wake up, and were on track to deliver a blow-out for the conservative party in the next elections.

President Biden’s foreign policy record is viewed unfavorably by most Americans and has been for more than three years now as a string of failures and disappointments. Normally, any vice president is considered a member of the existing administration, inevitably associated with its weaknesses and strengths. However, the problem for Kamala Harris is that the president’s inability to stave off chaos overseas is held in wide contempt—and she knows it.

Original ArticlePosted By: Moritz55, 10/18/2024 11:43:18 AMAmerica's enemies aren't afraid of ethical scolding from Democrats, and U.S. allies don't view it as especially helpful. In a Gallup poll released this September, voters in the United States revealed they trust Republicans as the "party better able to keep America safe from international threats" by a margin of 54 percent to 40 percent.

In a Gallup poll released this September, voters in the United States revealed they trust Republicans as the “party better able to keep America safe from international threats” by a margin of 54 percent to 40 percent. In today’s hard-fought U.S. political system, a fourteen-point edge for one party over the other is something close to a landslide. Yet, most academics believe that the superiority of the Democratic Party’s foreign policy approach is self-evident.

One of the many left-wing lines of attack against vice-presidential nominee J.D. Vance is that he’s “not authentic.” Biden’s former press secretary Jen Psaki recently used those words when she warned that “the American public can sniff inauthenticity.”They certainly can. So by all means let’s discuss J.D. Vance, his liberal critics, and the issue of authenticity.

In part one of this series, I suggested that political parties in most Western democracies are realigning along the schism of Court versus Country. This new division does not replace but instead cuts across the familiar cleavage of Left versus Right. That leaves four distinct factions in play: Court Conservatives, Court Progressives, Country Conservatives, and Country Progressives. The shifting alliances and tensions between these four factions play out differently in each nation.

The spectacle of recent electoral shifts in Britain and France, together with looming ones in the United States and elsewhere, raises the question of whether there is any common pattern here. The Left seems to be winning in some cases and losing in others. Clearly, incumbents are unpopular, regardless of ideology. Is there anything more to it than that? One way to understand all these cases is to refer to the old English idea of a Court Party versus a Country Party.

Implementing the legislatively approved, simplified Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) has been disastrous for many families and institutions. While the Biden administration has pursued other goals on higher education—namely, loan forgiveness—FAFSA’s launch was three months late, the portal had glitches, call lines were long, and students and families were left in the dark about what grant and loan packages they were eligible for.

Despite over a decade of policy promises, patients still face myriad paper forms and PDFs while doctors spend up to 87 percent of their day typing. Care remains expensive, inaccessible, and incomplete, with a primary care physician’s day estimated at 27 hours if they complete all recommended tasks. Many processes in health care delivery remain human-driven and manual, akin to a Boeing 747 without digital controls or autopilot.
