Hawley Op-Ed: No to Neoconservatism
By U.S. Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) | May 24, 2022 | Compact Magazine Not so long ago, Republicans said they had sworn off nation-building. Following the failure of the neoconservative project in Iraq and Afghanistan, GOP leaders seemed to have learned their lesson. But apparently not. Now nation-building is back with force, with a massive aid package to Ukraine that makes that country a US client state. Up next: a debate over expanding NATO. Many Republicans in Congress have already lined up to support both, almost reflexively. Why? Perhaps because they have forgotten their foreign-policy heritage. They have traded the nationalism of Theodore Roosevelt for the globalism of Woodrow Wilson. That’s a mistake. What America needs is not nation-building, but...

Hawley Op-Ed: It’s time to end economic handouts for woke corporations
By U.S. Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) | May 12, 2022 | Fox News Big business is no friend to conservatives—that’s been clear for years. And it’s increasingly no friend to America. In the postwar era just a few decades ago, many corporate leaders could honestly say that they loved this country. Now that seems a stretch. Today’s multinationals have embraced a toxic blend of offshoring and woke politics, selling out American workers even as they attack American values. But conservatives don’t have to take this behavior any longer. [...] CEOs now regularly release jargon-heavy statements denouncing conservative social policies across the board. One Disney higher-up even bragged recently about "adding queerness" to children’s programming wherever...
