When Joe Biden came into office, he promised to end the chaos of Donald Trump’s first term. Seasoned political observer and Director of Domestic Policy Studies Matthew Continetti explains how Biden’s failure to accomplish that objective has poisoned his standing with voters.
The anti-Israel protests across America’s colleges are one of the most visible disorders of Biden’s presidency. In the latest American Dream Lecture, Ruth Wisse, one of the world’s most distinguished scholars of Judaism, laid bare the disturbing roots of today’s campus antisemitism. The protests have also put the ideological biases of American higher education front and center. In a new AEI report, AEI’s Director of Education Policy Studies Frederick M. Hess and Joe Pitts reveal that the taxpayer-funded Rhodes and Truman Scholarship programs exclude right-wing viewpoints. Amid this disorder, Congress’s recent passage of Ukraine aid is a political bright spot. On his podcast, AEI President Robert Doar interviews Marc A. Thiessen, Washington Post columnist, former George W. Bush speechwriter, and AEI scholar, to better understand how aid was passed after months of delay and the broader shape of the political landscape. Even as the US faces conflict in Europe and the Middle East, Asia remains a central strategic challenge. Nicholas Eberstadt, who has been studying East Asian demography since the 1970s, evaluates how the US should respond to the region’s coming population collapse. |
