Issues & Insights was founded by seasoned journalists from the IBD Editorials page. Our mission is to provide timely, fact-based reporting and deeply informed analysis on the news of the day -- without fear or favor.
We’re doing this on a voluntary basis because we believe in a free press and because we aren't afraid to tell the truth, even if it means being targeted by the left.
We are 100% reader supported!!

Issues & Insights is run by seasoned journalists who were behind the Pulitzer Prize-winning IBD Editorials page (before it was summarily shut down). Our goal then and now is to bring our decades of combined journalism experience to help readers understand the top issues of the day. I&I is a completely independent operation, beholden to none, but committed to providing cogent, rational, data-driven, fact-based commentary that the nation so desperately needs.

The successes, limited so far, we have seen of Far left, Workers Family Party and Democratic Socialist/Communists demand that we reform two aspects of the way things are done to strengthen and to protect our nation.
1. Remove the oppressive and obstructionist monopoly of the Teachers Union from public education across the US; clearly millions of our own students are being instructed to hate the country and to be duped by the delusional ideology of Socialists and Communists. Use Sherman Antitrust Law to end the Teacher’s monopoly. It is critical.
2. Raise the age to vote so we have a more mature, wiser, and more experienced population of voters to elect more mature, wiser and more experienced representatives. It had been 21 for decades; even that may be too young now considering the damage our public education has done. Does an 18 year old know his backend from a hole in the ground regarding the important positions and issues we vote on? Age 25 to vote could be much better for a stronger country.
