The Abundance Agenda by Jeff Steele, last updated: Jun 14, 2025 11:17 AM: The current focus of many liberal political pundits on the so-called abundance agenda is misplaced and potentially counterproductive.

Update on Kilmar Abrego Garcia by Jeff Steele, last updated: Jun 12, 2025 09:21 AM: In the challenge to determine whether actions by the administration of cult leader, convicted felon, and failed President Donald Trump are explained by incompetence or malice, the answer is always both.

Has U.S. Policy toward Israel and the Palestinians Changed? by Jeff Steele, last updated: Jun 12, 2025 08:48 AM: U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee has suggested that the United States no longer supports a two-state solution, instead suggesting support for ethnically cleaning Palestinians and carving out a state for them within a Muslim country.
