Abortion survivors’ stories of resilience and courage humanize the vague discourse of “choice” and life emerging from the womb. These stories emerge to become inspiring dramas of hope, love, and forgiveness. What about the stories that end differently?

America has been a notably hard-working society for most of its history—but has become much less so in recent decades. Labor-force participation, especially among men of prime working age, has fallen to levels not seen since the Great Depression and is particularly low in certain regions of the Middle West and South. The decline of work has coincided with declining health status and longevity and high levels of drug addiction.

 

The Power Hour is a weekly podcast that discusses the most interesting energy and environmental policy issues of the day with top national experts. Jack welcomes Heritage colleagues Annie Chestnut Tudor and Mario Loyola this week to discuss the tech industry and its projected energy requirements. Annie is a leading expert in technology policy and Mario, a recent Power Hour guest, knows more about energy policy than just about anyone. Together, this duo paints a stark picture of what we are facing when juxtaposing the rising energy demand of the tech industry against the energy supply problems we are sure to face with Biden’s green energy agenda.

 

The Colorado Supreme Court ruled that former President Donald Trump should be struck from the ballot for violating Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which applies to certain officials who have engaged in insurrection or rebellion. Does this Section apply to the former President? Can state officials enforce it in the absence of an implementing statute from Congress? Does this Section still apply in 2024?

The bipartisan, congressionally mandated Strategic Posture Commission issued its Final Report in October, concluding that America’s defense strategy and strategic posture must change in order to properly protect its vital interests and improve strategic stability with China and Russia. In this rapidly changing world, our nuclear policy needs to be reevaluated to most effectively deter and defeat threats from these two nuclear-armed peers.
