    Nov 22, 2022 | By Will Hurd

    9 min read

    If the debt ceiling issue isn’t resolved before the end of the year, it will be significantly harder to solve it if it’s punted into 2023.

    If you had worked hard to save $200,000 in your 401k and it was invested in NASDAQ on the day Joe Biden became president in 2021, two weeks prior to the 2022 mid-term elections you would have had only around $158,000.

    If You Think the U.S. Blew Up Nord Stream Pipeline, You’re Consuming Too Much Propaganda

    Since Russia’s most recent invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022 the Russian propaganda machine has been working surprisingly well despite Russia’s military setbacks. Putin’s military and intelligence apparatus are experts in creating propaganda designed to misinform and manipulate public opinion. Recent examples have generated global debates on American involvement in sabotage, whether the Pope was advocating for appeasement, and if Elon Musk should stick to just talking about Mars.

    To Understand the Border Crisis, We Must Understand Asylum

    Sep 29, 2022 | By Will Hurd

    The fact that many folks are more upset about Governors Abbott and Desantis’s transporting-immigrants-from-Texas-to-blue-cities antics than they are about the yearslong crisis that has been happening at our southern border is an indication that too many people truly don’t understand the depths of the problem, especially the issue of asylum.

    Why President Biden Is the Worst Border Security President in the Last Two Decades

    Aug 22, 2022 | By Will Hurd

    In mid-August of this year the Biden Administration passed a milestone they are not celebrating — 2 million encounters with individuals coming to this country illegally. This is almost double the previous record of 1,277,177 set last year and there is still a month and a half left in this fiscal year.  Since President Biden took office, more than 3 million people have been encountered/apprehended entering the U.S. illegally from over 150 countries, and this number doesn’t include “gotaways,” the term CBP uses to describe those who enter the U.S. illegally and evade capture.

    The Best Energy Policy Begins with Us Not Listening to Nuts

    Aug 8, 2022 | By Will Hurd
