Week In Review Dec. 27th 2021 - Jan 1st 2022
Republican politics, moms, and little happening in the news
Greetings!
Welcome to the first ever edition of Week in Review! Little happened in the way of news, but plenty of things happened here! We launched our first articles in quite some time, delved into some deep topics, and gained some new followers on Twitter. Big things are coming!
In the meantime take a look at all of our articles conveniently located in one place!
Articles in Review
At the beginning of the week I provided an analysis of Republican politics in three separate pieces while I wrote a fourth piece asking the question “will moms save America from lousy government school?”
The first highlighted the historical/electoral problems that Republicans had historically faced along with justified optimism regarding a new Republican agenda.
The second piece discussed a stumbling block Republicans face in implementing a more republican agenda -- namely their lack of knowledge about the founders’ original political philosophy contained in The Federalist.
The third piece began to lay out a distinctly republican policy agenda. However, after thinking about it, the single biggest barrier to creating such an agenda might be the mandatory fundraising requirements imposed on members of Congress. These requirements appear to give members of Congress an incentive to set up sweetheart deals for their friends and beneficiaries. This will be discussed in detail in a later post.
You can catch on these pieces here:

2. The Difficulty in Creating a Republican Policy Agenda for the Future --
3. A Distinctly Republican Agenda and The Federalist --
4. Can Moms Save America? --
Around the Web -- Interesting News Across the Net
I don’t have a single news article for the following recommendation but I can’t recommend the work of Dan Mitchell enough. Dan’s blog “International Liberty” is one of the few windows into the otherwise convoluted world of global economics. Further the gentleman writes in conversational English -- not the abstract jargon that can muck up an otherwise pleasant read. You can find his blog at the link section below.
And that’s about it. There wasn’t much going on that was all that interesting this week. If you live in Pennsylvania though there’s an upcoming gubernatorial debate that will take place on Jan. 5th which could be interesting.
