John Mac Ghlionn: Britain’s pensions are about to be fed into the Bitcoin casino

1 week ago | conservativehome.com | John Mac Ghlionn

John Mac Ghlionn is a researcher and essayist. His writing appears in CapX, The Hill and The New York Post. BlackRock’s latest move into Bitcoin should set off every alarm bell across Britain. The world’s largest asset manager just secured approval from the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) to operate as a crypto asset firm. Now, it’s preparing to unleash a new Bitcoin ETP across Europe – with Britain front and centre. On the surface, it looks neat, professional, and safe.
America’s Reliance on Foreign Doctors Puts Countless Lives at Risk

3 weeks ago | chroniclesmagazine.org | John Mac Ghlionn

America’s health care system is in a dire state. The country spends more on health care than any other nation, yet its outcomes continue to decline. Life expectancy is dropping, maternal mortality rates are soaring, and chronic disease is rampant. Emergency rooms are overwhelmed, primary care is collapsing, and for many Americans, access to quality treatment feels like a distant dream.
Elon Musk Does Have a Few Conflicts

3 weeks ago | spectator.org | John Mac Ghlionn

Like so many others, I’ve long admired Elon Musk. His ambition, his ability to execute a deal, and his knack for hijacking industries that seemed immune to disruption are undeniable. He made electric cars reasonably cool, dragged NASA into the 21st century, and is building the closest thing we have to a real-life Tony Stark persona. Moreover, in this age of sanitized corporate messaging and sanctimonious satire, his unique style of humor is rather refreshing.
Death of women’s privacy: Proposal to cut red tape for all-gender bathrooms is a foot in the door to disaster

3 weeks ago | skynews.com.au | John Mac Ghlionn

There was a time, not that long ago, when the vast majority of people agreed there were two sexes - male and female. Fittingly, there were two bathrooms: one for men and one for women. For decades, even centuries, this arrangement went unquestioned, unchallenged. It worked. It was rooted in biology, privacy, and basic social order. Those days, however, are gone - long gone. As I write this, Australia is quietly laying the foundation for a future where all-gender bathrooms become the norm.
Is That Cup of Coffee Killing You?

3 weeks ago | spectator.org | John Mac Ghlionn

Americans don’t just drink coffee — they exist on it. The United States is the world’s largest coffee market, valued at over . More than two-thirds of adults consume it daily, with this figure rising sharply— 37 percent more Americans are dependent on their morning (and often afternoon) cup of coffee today than they were 20 years ago. An average American adult about 3 cups daily, totaling around 1,095 cups of coffee each year.
The reality behind Trump's manufacturing revival promises

4 weeks ago | thehill.com | John Mac Ghlionn

President Trump is promising a manufacturing renaissance. Bring back the factories, restore blue-collar jobs, end reliance on China. It’s a powerful message that taps into nostalgia, economic frustration and national pride. In truth, a large-scale initiative to revitalize American manufacturing would likely backfire. The impact would reach far beyond higher prices at the checkout line. Consumers already weighed down by housing costs, debt and rising prices would experience even greater strain.
TikTok Is a Weapon of War-So Why Is Trump Negotiating With the Enemy?

4 weeks ago | discoursemagazine.com | John Mac Ghlionn

Time is running out for TikTok; the deadline for the app to be sold or banned is April 5. That’s when President Trump’s executive order keeping the app alive expires. After that, the future of TikTok in the U.S. hangs in the balance. A sale to an American company is being pushed as the solution to the national security concerns many have raised about the Chinese-owned app. The idea being floated is straightforward enough. Essentially, shift ownership, sever ties with China and move on.
To Beat Trump, Democrats Need Their Own Steve Bannon

1 month ago | usnews.com | John Mac Ghlionn |Max Burns

Steve Bannon is not an honorable man. And for all of his pretensions to be a populist, he’s not fighting for the working-class everyman. He is a former investment banker and Hollywood producer who was indicted in 2020 for money laundering, fraud and conspiracy charges, and was pardoned by President Donald Trump during his first term. Bannon’s refusal to cooperate with Congress’ investigation into the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol insurrection landed him in federal prison last year for four months.
The Happiness Hoax: Are Nordic Nations Really Better Off Than America?

1 month ago | spectator.org | John Mac Ghlionn

Every year, the World Happiness Report releases its rankings. The report seemingly provides a clear, numerical snapshot of where the happiest people live. Finland, Denmark, Iceland, and Sweden, these same countries consistently rise to the top, year after year, with very little variation. In contrast, the United States continues to drop in the rankings.Â As expected, the gullible media jumps on the results, hailing the Fantastic Four as shining examples of happiness.
The media’s latest lie: TikTok stole Kamala’s presidency

1 month ago | americanthinker.com | John Mac Ghlionn

Why did Kamala Harris lose to Donald Trump? Was it a lack of trust? A failure to connect? A habit of spouting robotic, circular nonsense? Did she lose because voters saw through her painfully inauthentic persona? Because her lame attempts at humor landed with the grace of a sledgehammer through a windshield? Was it her dismal record as vice president, her inability to answer basic policy questions, or the sheer volume of word salad she force-fed the American public? Wrong. Wrong. Wrong.
