China’s Xi Will Kill the Golden Goose
Commentary Although China can look back on an economic miracle, its future seems highly encumbered. Even with the best policies coming out of Beijing, aging demographics and the natural tendency for development to slow the pace of growth would have their effects, as would the legacy of past policy errors, such as residential overbuilding. Still,…
The Flood of Illegal Immigration Into the US Continues
Commentary The illegal immigration numbers continue to rise. Despite the continuation of Title 42 by court order, the disaster on the U.S. southern border continued unabated and accelerated during May. Title 42 is a Trump-era public health provision that denies asylum requests under U.S. law and international treaty to prevent the spread of COVID-19 (the…
TikTok: The Digital Equivalent of Crack Cocaine
Commentary ByteDance employees in China have repeatedly accessed the private information of tens of millions of American TikTok users, according to a recent report from BuzzFeed News.

The Jan. 6 Committee Is After More Than Midterm Votes
Commentary Everyone knows the common adage that “those on the left think that the right is evil, whereas those on the right just think that the left is wrong.” Our current political landscape might be better summed up as a battle between those who constitute the Washington-ruling class establishment—including members of both parties—versus those who…
Team Biden’s Gas Inflation Disaster
Commentary The Democrats are in trouble—big, big trouble. Gas prices are up—way, way up. See the parallel? It’s been said that “it’s the economy, stupid.” Now the most obvious economic problem that Americans have is filling their tanks. So we can change the saying. It’s the gas, stupid. And gas prices won’t come down for…
