Engineering Firm HappyFunCorp Eyes More Acquisitions
HappyFunCorp has been living up to its name, according to co-founder Ben Schippers — at least if you associate happiness and fun with profits, growth and acquisitions. Last year, I visited the design and engineering firm's Brooklyn offices for the final episode of our Built in Brooklyn video series. Since then, Schippers said the company has continued to add new team members, with… Read More

Voegelin on America, Part 2
(Steven Hayward) Last Sunday I mentioned appreciating Eric Voegelin's Autobiographical Reflections. Here's another passage that reinforces the point that America is superior to Europe in terms of philosophy and relevant thinking, based on his first extended visit to the U.S. in the early 1920s. (Voegelin could be pretty dense himself at times, but not here.) This literary work in which I assembled the results of the two American years does not, however,

(John Hinderaker) This Associated Press story, headlined "Obama can do Iran nuclear deal even if Congress disapproves," is getting a lot of attention: The September vote on the Iran nuclear deal is billed as a titanic standoff between President Barack Obama and Congress. Yet even if U.S. lawmakers reject the agreement, it's not game-over for the White House. A congressional vote of disapproval would not prevent Obama from acting on his own

(Scott Johnson) I've noted the anti-Semitic themes and canards on which President Obama has unsubtly drawn in promoting the deal with Iran.

Despite its liberalism and its Democratic tilt, the organized Jewish community has to a substantial extent come out against Obama's Iran deal. AIPAC is lobbying against it. The Anti-Defamation
