With CHIPS on Table, Leave It to Congress to Drop Ball on Semiconductor Subsidies <[link removed]> – The U.S. cannot beat China by becoming more like China. The U.S. should further examine government-imposed barriers that are preventing American companies from competing, rather than awarding industry-specific subsidies. Semiconductors will not be the last technological paradox faced vis-a-vis China, but we have an opportunity to create the best fundamental economic conditions to thrive against all these challenges from Beijing while resourcing proper national security measures. The underlying issues and concerns regarding America’s technological might against China as a current and future adversary warrant more serious and difficult policy prescriptions. Unfortunately, Congress missed an opportunity to put runs on the board. It has struck out looking. Heritage Expert: Dustin Carmack <[link removed]>


What You Need to Know About Biden’s Climate ‘Emergency’ <[link removed]> – The left’s anger at those developments exposes a disturbing impatience with representative government and a preference for control to be concentrated in the hands of an unelected, select few. That Americans’ constitutional system of government and elected representatives are disdainfully, shrilly considered as obstacles to this (or any) president’s agenda is something that should concern every American, regardless of political party. Ends justified by means, regardless of the rule of law, is not a sustainable way to run a country. In reality, Biden’s problem is that he and his administration have never bothered <[link removed]> to make the case for, and earn the consensus of Americans or their elected representatives for, the extreme, unrealistic, and deeply flawed climate commitments <[link removed]> the president unilaterally made to the U.N.’s Paris Agreement.

Biden’s New Title IX Rule Guts Protections for Women and Girls. Here’s How to Fight It. <[link removed]> –  A few days after the momentous golden anniversary of Title IX—the federal civil rights law that prevents sex discrimination in any educational institution receiving
government funding—the Biden administration has proposed a new rule to radically rewrite that law by, among other things, adding provisions for individuals claiming to be transgender and gutting the protections for women and girls that were originally intended. But this simple law has provided a platform for a proposed rule from the Department of Education that is replete with problems. These problems, if left unaddressed, promise to fundamentally overhaul the state of American education as it exists today. Heritage Expert: Sarah Parshall Perry <[link removed]>  
Biden’s broken border is a gift to violent criminals <[link removed]> – Biden and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas can pretend there is no cost to having an open border, but the news and numbers show otherwise. Until we can regain control over the flow, we will continue to admit many illegal aliens who present a clear, proven risk to Americans and others. Securing the border is not only desired by a majority of people. It's required by law. The Biden administration and prosecutors everywhere should start doing their jobs.

‘Game of Thrones’ Spinoff Blackwashed to Avoid ‘Another Bunch of White People on
Screen’ <[link removed]> – There is a fundamental misunderstanding as to why this assault on culture <[link removed]> matters. Many on the left will say it’s just a TV show, so why do you care so much? Because this is a repeated pattern of conquest. Like the Targaryens in “A Song of Ice and Fire” not stopping at conquering just one kingdom, the radical left does not stop at just one show. The left expands its domain until everything you watch, read, or hear pays homage to its dogma. In addition to making for terrible entertainment, it can redefine the culture. The culture defines who we are. Losing it to the left means generations to come will be raised and molded by racist and hateful people. The right should take a page from “Game of Thrones” and rebel against the leftist overlords in our culture. It won’t be easy, but the stakes are far too high.  And with any luck, we might just be able to reclaim the kingdom. Heritage Expert: Douglas Blair <[link removed]>
