In June 2024, presidential candidate Donald J. Trump said: "You graduate from a college, I think you should get, automatically as part of your diploma, a green card to be able to stay in this country. That includes junior colleges, too." Trump's comments, which were an entry in the ongoing and recently intensified debate on the right about immigration, tapped into a truth. Read More ›

A largely failed attempt to place ads for a pro-Israel book in ten universities’ student papers illustrates the double standard by which many students as well as faculty and administrators treat anti-Israel protestors, on one hand, and Israel supporters on the other. Every university approached recently by Seattle-based Discovery Institute on behalf of The Israel Test by George Gilder, a pro-Israel work published by Encounter Books, has experienced anti-Israel demonstrations. Some had riots. Yet most were treated by authorities with appeasement or even encouragement. Read More ›

The next battle in the Middle East may be played out in the skies above Iran. The outcome obviously is meant to help Israel, but may well assist Ukraine, too. If "the enemy of my enemy is my friend," Israel and Ukraine are friends already, and even quiet allies. Read More ›

"The exploding pagers and radios of Hezbollah point not only to the tactical brilliance of Israeli technicians (who are likely responsible) but also to the largely unacknowledged value of Israel to our own defense." This is the view of Discovery Institute co-founder George Gilder, author of The Israel Test and increasingly a critic of current U.S. and European half-way measures in support of Israel. Read More ›

Discovery Institute Board member Edmund Moy is quoted by The New York Times in an article entitled "America Must Free Itself from the Tyranny of the Penny," (September 1, 2024), noting that he tried, as the Director of the U.S. Mint from 2006 to 2011, to retire one of the oldest, and surely the tiniest, members of the American currency.

After Thursday night's presidential debate, one thing is clear: Joe Biden will NOT be nominated at the Democratic Convention. He will be persuaded to announce that he will not run for re-election — a reversion to his 2020 campaign pledge, made to assuage voter concerns about his age, that he would serve as a one-term president.

Calls abound for the removal of President Biden over his objection, using the involuntary disability provision, with Vice-President Kamala Harris to then assume the presidency. What the text of Section 4 makes clear, however, is than under that provision, she can be Acting President only. Section 3, covering voluntary disability, provides the same. Read More ›
