Commentary At one time or another, every politician—local, state, and federal—promises to help create “affordable housing.” The issue has become especially critical of late with rents and housing prices rising and higher interest rates making it more difficult to support a mortgage. The Biden administration has responded with a five-point program. Some of its elements…
‘The Last Generation’ Reflects the Dehumanization of China by the CCP
Commentary Despair is a powerful force. It’s the complete loss of hope. Without hope, there’s no meaning in life and no reason to go on living. That’s where the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has led China’s latest generation. Or, as they call themselves, “The Last Generation.” The Young and the Hopeless This is more than…
Michelle Bachelet, Prove Us Wrong (Please) or Resign
Commentary To much fanfare from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its state-run media, the United Nation’s human rights chief, Michelle Bachelet, concluded her visit to China and its Xinjiang region on May 28. The outcome is a complete travesty, at least at first glance. The consistent murmur within the civil society sector from the…
Cancel All Debts to China
Commentary One of the many threats to America from China runs through Sri Lanka. In that South Asian country, there are ongoing food riots. Sri Lanka owes so much to Beijing that it had to surrender one of its ports, plus 15,000 acres, for 99 years. Beijing doubtless seeks to turn the port, about 250…
The Establishment Wins in Sussmann Case—And No One Is Surprised
Commentary The acquittal of Michael Sussmann is undoubtedly a travesty for American justice. It proves not only that the country’s intelligence agencies have been thoroughly politicized, but also—and perhaps worse—that the citizens of this nation are rapidly losing the ability for legal recourse to hold our institutions accountable. So much for “consent of the governed.”…
US Counters China With Indo-Pacific Economic Framework
Commentary The Indo-Pacific Economic Framework is America’s way of “presenting Indo-Pacific countries an alternative to China’s approach,” said U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo, as reported by CNBC on May 25. Joe Biden made his first trip to Asia on May 20–24 since assuming the presidency. On this visit, Biden inaugurated the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework…
Communist China’s Global Plan Emerges
Commentary Communist China’s violations of Taiwanese airspace and sea space are a physical indication Beijing targets Taiwan as the world’s next Ukraine. At the tactical level—the level where a shooter seeks a target—Beijing’s sorties probe Taiwan’s frontline air and sea defenses, seeking weaknesses and assessing reaction time. At the strategic level—the Big Picture, which includes…

When President Barack Obama received his Nobel Peace Prize less than 11 months after his inauguration in 2009, supposedly for, among other things, establishing “a new climate in international politics” in which “dialogue and negotiations are preferred as instruments for resolving even the most difficult international conflicts,” the young, new president with close to zero…
Want to Freeze Your Eggs? First, Face Reality
Commentary In a recent op-ed for the Washington Examiner, I outlined the reasons why a number of major U.S. companies are in favor of abortion. Interestingly, many of the very same companies are also in favor of egg freezing. For example, Facebook, Apple, Google, Uber, and Yahoo all offer female employees the option of freezing their eggs….

Commentary The cryptocurrency market valuation is less than half of the $2.9 trillion it was worth in November. What’s going on with the cryptocurrency market? More people than ever before have been holding “cryptos” as a safe-haven asset to hedge against inflation and other central bank offenses. It wasn’t very long ago that investors were…
