Snippet: Joseph McCarthy was right about everything. Communist movements have been playing the long game from inside western nations, exploiting the liberal freedoms westerners enjoy as a backdoor to sabotage free market choice and constitutional checks and balances from within. The players might have changed over the decades, but the ideological goals remain the same.

Snippet: FINANCIAL markets have an unfortunate habit of rewarding drama. A surprise interest rate cut sends traders into a frenzy. A collapsing currency dominates headlines. Yet, some of the most consequential developments are the ones that barely register beyond the business pages. The United States Federal Reserve’s (Fed) decision to once again leave interest rates unchanged, coupled with the US Treasury’s rare move to join Japan in supporting the yen, falls squarely into that category.

A private scientific organization funded by insurance companies, IIHS is regarded by many as a superior font of accurate scientific conclusions compared to the government-run and lobbyist-vulnerable National Highway Transportation Safety Administration.
