5 Years In, What The Daily Signal Has Achieved

Plus: There Is No Evidence Weather Is Increasingly Threatening to Human Lives

Jun 03, 2019   Good morning from Washington, where The Daily Signal is grateful that we're about to mark our fifth anniversary of covering and commenting on public policy that makes a difference in Americans' lives. Our editor-in-chief, Katrina Trinko, looks back—and ahead. In Laredo, Texas, Fred Lucas finds a border barrier that works. (It's not what you think.) Josh Nelson talks with the artist behind a mural depicting an inspirational abolitionist. Plus: Bill Walton on standing up to China, David Harsanyi on climate alarmists, and John Stossel on the "unsafe" epidemic.     Commentary Five Years In, What The Daily Signal Has Achieved Five years ago today, we launched The Daily Signal because we believed there were too many stories of how policies affected Americans never being told by the mainstream media. More News There Is No Evidence Weather Is Increasingly Threatening to Human Lives Last year saw below the 30-year average in deaths not only by tornadoes and hurricanes, but also from heat, flooding and lighting.

He's helping to train the next generation of leaders to be solutionists in their own communities More Special Feature Harriet Tubman Mural Stops Onlookers in Their Tracks "I wanted to capture that moment, that moment when Harriet Tubman reaches out to the enslaved person and offers that hand and says, 'Let's go. Take my hand,'" says the mural's artist. More Commentary China Continues to Violate Human Rights Americans' theory that more trade with China would open up the country to more democracy has been proven wrong.
