Our best chance at saving America is to open America. Now.
Certainly, states like New York and New Jersey must open at a slower pace than Minnesota and Iowa. But we must ground all decisions in reason and science—or politicians inebriated by power will gain more dominance by peddling fear. Continue reading

The average American child will spend 405 hours this summer watching TV and Internet videos: Be a great example and read. Reading is proven to make us healthier, happier and wiser. So grab a cold Corona (keeping this example to yourself, at least for now) and pick up a book!
One evening while staying at Sea World Orlando, I looked up from dinner to notice a family of four eating beside me. All four were peering at smartphones or tablets (including the children who both appeared to be under the age of six). Continue reading

She feels safe enough to “come out of the woods,” exactly the time for a Trump administration special prosecutor to launch a broadside.
Mentally strong people don’t need five months to overcome setbacks. Thomas Edison famously said: “I have not failed 10,000 times. … I have succeeded in proving that those 10,000 ways will not work.” Instead of dwelling on setbacks, true leaders are resilient and persistent. Their passion for their mission—or goal—is independent of external circumstances. Continue reading

Do you want to be wealthy? Do you also want to end poverty, hunger, and suffering among your neighbors? Abandon your mental roadblocks to wealth.
“I don’t want the help to stop,” 28-year-old single mother of four Tiffane Garza says as tears stream down her cheeks. She feels she would be lost without the $54 million in federal and local aid injected to her San Antonio East Side neighborhood over the past five years via an “anti-poverty” welfare program.
Data, however, paints a different picture: $54 million in government aid may actually have set the tiny, 3.5-square-mile neighborhood back. Continue reading

Deal with it, Democrats: crime is committed by illegal immigrants far more often than legal immigrants.

Sweden is drafting women into the military and endorsing “sex breaks” but, President Trump is right: Sweden has an immigration crisis and it is too late for even extreme measures.
Political correctness is crippling. We must begin telling the truth about why Sweden is struggling to replace its population; to maintain its culture; to create jobs; and to decrease violence. Continue reading

Be wary of those who only destroy. Smoldering embers of emotional environmental extremists can re-emerge as a wildfire.
The Trump administration last week extinguished Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) protesters when they proved only willing to torch and trash the earth; culture; children and animals they claimed to be defending. Continue reading

Watch out—Betsy DeVos is President Trump’s right-hand woman on educational reform—and she’s ready to drain the teachers’ union swamp. Beginning with the biggest: the National Education Association (NEA).
“Shame! Shame! Shame!” protesters chanted as Education Secretary Betsy DeVos made her first public visit to a U.S. public school, Jefferson Middle School Academy, in the heart of the Washington, D.C. swamp. Continue reading
