How Do We Stop ESG and DEI From Destroying Capitalism?
Commentary In America, if environmental, social, and governance (ESG) and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) mandates are accepted in their current form, capitalism will most likely be destroyed. The widespread acceptance of ESG and DEI by American business giants is as concerning as it is eye-rolling. Large corporations routinely play games to attract stock buyers’…
How Should We Humans Cope With AI?
Commentary Artificial intelligence (AI) keeps surging to the fore, commanding more and more attention. I wouldn’t be surprised if, by year-end (if not already), it’s one of the 10 most common topics covered by the media. The most elementary question some people ask about AI is, is AI good? Perhaps here we should remember Shakespeare’s…
After Dobbs: Our Work Is Cut Out for Us
June 24 marks one year since the Supreme Court ruled in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization that states have the right to protect the lives of their unborn citizens.

Why We Should Not Be Diverted by the Wagner Comic Opera
Commentary Military mutinies vary in nature and scope, but they can provide stimulus or course correction for the forces that suffer from them.
