THE CHINESE BALLOON STORY IS EVEN BIGGER THAN IT SEEMS. The Chinese spy balloon matter has become far more serious in recent hours — and it was serious enough to begin with. Of course, there are lots of questions in the aftermath of the U.S. Air Force shootdown of the balloon off the coast of South Carolina on Saturday. Questions such as what, specifically, was it spying on? What information had it gathered? When was the United States aware of its existence? Will experts be able to secure enough of the wreckage from the ocean floor to answer those and other questions?

One question always kept coming up in interviews, articles, and in everyday conversation in the months after the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade: Will there be a national March for Life this year? With Roe overturned, some wondered if there was a need to March for Life in Washington, D.C., and perhaps doubted the strength of the pro-life movement.

President Joe Biden claims the economy is strong. In reality, his economic policies have kept our economy mired in a slow-growth rut. The economy is growing less than half as fast as it was when Biden took office. In the first quarter of 2021, when Biden had just arrived, the economy grew at a sizzling 6.3% rate as it rebounded out of the COVID-19 shutdown. Last year, the economy grew at a middling 2.1% rate, and the Atlanta Federal Reserve is now forecasting that GDP growth in the first quarter of this year will be only 0.7%. The economy has been stuck in this slow-growth rut for nearly 20 years. Since 2005, economic growth has averaged about 2% a year, the slowest extended growth rate in our nation’s history.
