How a Stint with COVID Changed My Perspective

By Amy Holmquist Charlemagne Institute December 29, 2020 I was stricken with COVID last month. You probably expect me to now explain how awful it was, how I laid around in bed, suffering in agony, and was nearly carted off to the hospital. But that would be a lie. The real story? I had some […]

The Systemic Racism Argument Ignores Free Will

By Anders KoskinenIntellectual TakeoutJune 26, 2020 In college I took a course on debating and argument.

Boy Brains, Girl Brains. Yes, They’re Really Different.

Bernie Sanders Has Done it Again

By Annie Holmquist Christian Action League March 6, 2020 In an age when old, rich, white men are heavily maligned by the Left, it’s rather remarkable that Sanders has risen to such prominence in not one, but two presidential contests. Given Joe Biden’s lead in delegates, Sanders may not win the nomination; nevertheless, it’s hard […]

What’s Driving America’s Suicide Problem?

By Annie Holmquist Guest Columnist Christian Action League January 3, 2020 “Why Is America So Depressed?” was one of the first headlines I saw as I jumped back into work after the holidays.  “Well, there’s a cheery way to start the New Year,” I thought to myself as I read through the New York Times […]

Inoculating our Children against Socialism

By Jeff Minick Intellectual Takeout November 15, 2019 For the first time in our history, many politicians and candidates label themselves socialists, as if that title were a badge of honor.
