Changing of the Guard: Can Musk Deliver on His Promises for Free Speech and Information?

Commentary Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter and his immediate firing of top brass represents a potential weakening of the Big Digital woke cartel that controls information, censers content, censures and bans users, and serves as a propaganda arm of leftist totalitarian statists.

Remember Those Who Cannot Speak

Commentary Being on the administrative/editorial side of Brownstone has been a serious education in information systems. I don’t mean on a technical level. I mean on a social level.

Biden lawsuit, in which the state of Missouri and Louisiana—along with four private plaintiffs (Jay Bhattacharya, Martin Kulldorff, the advocacy organization Health Freedom Louisiana, and yours truly) represented by the New Civil Liberties Alliance—are suing the Biden administration for alleged free speech violations. We now have strong evidence that the executive branch…


My Black Uber Driver in Philly

Commentary I am writing this column in Burlington, Vermont. It is my seventh city in eight days. From my hometown of Los Angeles, I flew to Orlando, followed by Atlanta, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Chicago, and now Burlington. My Salem radio talk-show host colleagues and I went from city to city in “battleground” states to speak on…
