The Latest ‘Mission Impossible’ Is a Movie That Missed the Vibe Shift

1 week ago | chroniclesmagazine.org | Gage Klipper

We’ve come to expect very little from our “big summer blockbusters.” Gone are the days of Jaws, E.T., and Indiana Jones, films as visually exhilarating as they were culturally resonant. Today, you’re just lucky to escape tone-deaf politics and a tedious three-hour run time. Yet Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning, the eighth and capstone installment of the Tom Cruise-led franchise, fails to deliver even that much. It’s not enough to say Final Reckoning is bad; it certainly is.
No Amount Of Dem Donor Cash Can Create A 'Liberal Joe Rogan'

1 week ago | thefederalist.com | Gage Klipper

By now, it’s conventional wisdom that Democrats would love nothing more than to find their very own Joe Rogan. Yet there’s a fine line between pundits’ wishful thinking and full-scale political suicide — one which party operatives seem increasingly unable to grasp. Democrats are pursuing not one, not two, but a whopping 26 initiatives aimed at replicating Donald Trump’s appeal with podcasters and influencers in the digital space, The New York Times revealed on Tuesday.

"Give us your poor, huddled masses, yearning to be free," the Democrats chanted, as they called us callous racists for daring to suggest their professed humanitarianism was anything but.
Outcry Over South African Refugees Exposes Anti-White Bigotry

In the Biden era, we saw about infinity pseudo-refugees stream across the southern border from every corner of the third world. “Give us your poor, huddled masses, yearning to be free,” the Democrats chanted, as they called us callous racists for daring to suggest their professed humanitarianism was anything but. Yet in the Trump era, all it took was a handful of Afrikaners to lay the real intent of their immigration program bare.
Common Law and National Identity – Adam M. Carrington

3 weeks ago | lawliberty.org | Benjamin Clark |Adam Carrington |Mike Watson |Gage Klipper

Affirmative action, abortion, and LGBTQ rights: Americans debate the approach we should take to these issues along Constitutional, policy, and moral lines. Each matter holds distinct elements. However, when you strip the arguments for and against to their foundation, you find a common root. They all concern the meaning of the assertion, made in the Declaration of Independence, that “all men are created equal.”This example displays a broader point. First principles wear many clothes.
What Should Be Said About China – Ralph L. DeFalco III

3 weeks ago | lawliberty.org | Tom Cotton |Gage Klipper |Tal Fortgang |James Diddams

In March, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence released the 2025 Annual Threat Assessment (ATA). For the first time, the ATA identified the People’s Republic of China as the most capable threat actor that now confronts the United States. The reasons for ranking China as the top threat—militarily, economically, diplomatically, and informationally—are made clear in Seven Things You Can’t Say About China, a crisply written new book by US Senator Tom Cotton.
From Ballots to Bots – Rachel Lomasky

4 weeks ago | lawliberty.org | Rachel Lomasky |Charles T. Rubin |Gage Klipper |Tal Fortgang

In his forum lead, Charles T. Rubin worries that turning human governance over to artificial general intelligence (AGI) will cause immense problems. The world, in particular the United States, has many incompetent government officials. We don’t need to worry, though, that soon some of them will be robot overlords—that technology is nowhere in sight.
Heroism in Banking Regulation – James E. Hartley

1 month ago | lawliberty.org | Mark Carlson |James Hartley |Gage Klipper

There has been much discussion of late about the role of independent regulatory agencies set up by the Federal government. The legislature makes laws, but someone has to figure out how to implement broad laws in particular cases. When it comes to areas requiring technical expertise, can and should the legislature set up agencies outside of the control of the executive branch? The Federal Reserve, created in 1913, is one of the oldest of these independent regulatory agencies.
Liberty Against Liberalism? – Max Skjönsberg

1 month ago | lawliberty.org | Quentin Skinner |Max Skjönsberg |Gage Klipper |James Diddams

Quentin Skinner is surely the most prominent living historian of political thought. In a career spanning over sixty years, Skinner has written about the history of political thought from the Renaissance to the eighteenth century. His oeuvre includes landmark studies on Machiavelli, Thomas Hobbes, and ideas of the state and liberty, as well as pathbreaking works on historical methodology and hermeneutics.
Liberty, Freemen, and Slaves – Aaron N. Coleman

1 month ago | lawliberty.org | Quentin Skinner |Aaron Coleman |Gage Klipper |James Diddams

In Liberty as Independence: The Making and Unmaking of a Political Idea, renowned historian Quentin Skinner traces how a republican vision of liberty, one all but forgotten today, was eclipsed by its modern, liberal counterpart. This is not his first foray into the idea of liberty. In 1998, he published Liberty before Liberalism; in 2008, he followed with Hobbes and Republican Liberty. Both books confined their examination of liberty’s meaning to mid-seventeenth-century England.
