Who Turned the Lights Out? Joe Biden

Commentary Does the radical climate change agenda know no end? Earlier this year, it was gas stoves—and then lightbulbs.

This Is a Bailout, Not a Market-Based Acquisition

Commentary The weekend brought us the news that JPMorgan bought the failing First Republic bank, with numbers that are truly mind-boggling and further shore up JPMorgan’s megabank status.

Yes Is for Bringing Australia Together and Moving Forward

Commentary Through the Uluru Statement from the Heart, Indigenous Australian communities forged the first ever national consensus on how they want to be constitutionally recognised—they asked for a constitutionally guaranteed Voice in their affairs.

Can Elon Musk Save the Diminishing Value of Twitter’s Blue Check Mark?

Commentary The Bible says, “Thou shall not covet,” but for years I secretly coveted something many had: Twitter’s blue check mark. I know it sounds silly, but I longed to be verified.
