Stand up for federal investment in historic preservation

4 weeks ago | restorationnewsmedia.com | Corey Friedman |Claire Edwards |Benjamin Briggs

As our nation approaches our 250th anniversary in 2026, it is clear why we celebrate historic preservation. Our built environment embodies the craftsmanship, investment and ingenuity of citizens who came before us. They built and defended the nation we enjoy today. We honor them by preserving the sites and buildings of their creation so those who come after us will […]
You Decide: Where are we on the inflation battle?

4 weeks ago | restorationnewsmedia.com | Corey Friedman |Mike Walden

Price inflation was one of the top issues in the 2024 presidential election. People were tired of seeing big price jumps, especially if those increases were more than their income rose. Candidates promised that — if elected — inflation would be reduced. Recently, the latest inflation rate was released. Many cheered the report because the annualized rate of 2.3% […]
Time to pull the plug on solar subsidies

4 weeks ago | restorationnewsmedia.com | Corey Friedman |David Larson

Last week, President Donald Trump’s “Big, Beautiful Bill” passed the U.S. House. And because it was so big (and in many parts beautiful), people have been busy since, discussing all its various elements. The fact that the bill eliminates subsidies for solar energy, and instead favors more traditional energy sources, is certainly among the most-talked-about elements. As a matter of […]

1 month ago | restorationnewsmedia.com | Corey Friedman

When was the last time both Republicans and Democrats voted to pass a state budget? It happened last week when the N.C. House passed its two-year budget. Twenty-seven Democrats voted with the Republican majority to pass the House biennium budget; even Gov. Josh Stein had some nice things to say about it. House Speaker Dustin Hall (R) and Minority Leader […]
Hubris, denial and deceit

1 month ago | restorationnewsmedia.com | Corey Friedman

All we Democrats knew Joe Biden was a good man, but too old to run for a second term. When we saw his performance on the debate stage, it was a clear as day that he — as good a guy as he was and as good a job as he had done — simply no longer could function in […]

Just released online (and to be published June 12) in the peer-reviewed journal Cell, genetic research by Jonathan Pekar of the University of Edinburgh in the U.K. (and 18 other international scientists, including 10 Americans) found that both the SARS-CoV-1 (SARS-1) and SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) coronaviruses “…descend from bat viruses that circulated as recently as one to six years before their […]
Fiscal fantasies threaten economic future

1 month ago | restorationnewsmedia.com | Corey Friedman |John Hood

I wrote my first book — about what’s now called corporate ESG (for environmental, social and governance criteria) — in 1996. After six subsequent works of serious nonfiction, I redirected my authorial energies in 2020 toward writing historical-fantasy novels set in early America. Patriot soldiers battle flying demons. Daniel Boone hunts fire-spitting salamanders. Shadowy mages ensorcell Washington politicians into committing […]
The answer to the $3B Trump-Harvard question is ‘markets’

1 month ago | restorationnewsmedia.com | Corey Friedman |Thomas L. Knapp

In early May, Reuters reports, the U.S. government revoked “virtually all” of Harvard University’s federal research grants — nearly $3 billion worth — because they “no longer effectuate agency priorities.” Now, President Donald Trump says (in a post to his Truth Social platform) he’s “considering taking Three Billion Dollars of Grant Money away from a very antisemitic Harvard, and giving it to TRADE SCHOOLS all across our land.” Mainstream media coverage of the whole matter seems focused...

This should make things cheaper (no marketing! no package design! no celebrity endorsements! no product mascots!) but you know it will be run by Apple and this ish will become a status symbol
