    On the Road: Connecting Veterans, Capital, and American Innovation (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    For the past few weeks, my life has resembled George Clooney’s character in Up in the Air — the 2009 film where he’s living out of airports, speaking at a different conference every day. Genine Fallon was there too every step of the way (You can subscribe to her new substack here.)Much of our trip centered on ‘veterpreneurship’ — helping more veterans become founders, owners, investors, and business leaders.Our first stop was Jackson Hole for the Wyoming Global

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    This past Friday, my former congressional colleague, Steve Stivers, and I published a new piece in the Washington Examiner making the bipartisan case for permitting reform.That may not sound like the most exciting topic, but it is one of the most fundamental.

Like many Americans at the time, I initially thought it made sense. That began to change while I was a student at King’s College, when an administrator challenged me for the first time to think

    Excerpt · Critical tone

    This weekend, federal agents arrested a 21-year-old Pennsylvania man from the suburbs of Pittsburgh, who they say was preparing to carry out an ISIS-inspired mass shooting. According to prosecutors, Jonathan Hunter Kramer had repeatedly pledged allegiance to ISIS online, shared extremist propaganda, and told others that he was ready for a “mission” as soon as he could obtain a weapon.

    Cheap Globalization Is Over (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone

    Read excerpt

    For most of the past generation, American business leaders and investors were rewarded for thinking about globalization primarily through the lens of efficiency. Goods moved easily across borders, capital followed opportunity, and supply chains stretched across oceans with remarkably little friction. If a component could be manufactured more cheaply somewhere else, that was usually taken as evidence that the system was doing its job.For a long time, it did.But the assumptions underneath that sys
