Commentary All over the developed world, voters identify inflation as a significant concern. They do so for good reason. Inflation is stubborn and brings hardships at all levels of society. If left unchecked, it will stifle growth prospects. As is always the case, today’s inflation stems primarily from faulty monetary policies. But if monetary mismanagement…
Beijing’s Hypocrisy Hits New High With Missile Defenses
Commentary For years, China complained about the development and deployment of American missile defenses, a capability that Beijing didn’t have and claimed would undermine strategic stability and security in Asia. It’s funny how you don’t hear Beijing protesting about the development and deployment of U.S. missile defenses anymore now that China itself is developing and…
War Threatens Ukraine Auto Empire of Biden Megadonor Urging Greater US Role
News analysis Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky isn’t the only one demanding more military assistance from President Biden to protect Kiev from Russian forces.

Tucker Carlson and the Struggle for Civilizational Sanity
Commentary Last Friday, I attended The Heritage Foundation’s 50th Anniversary Gala, a sprawling and swanky affair featuring many fine presentations, a surprise Dierks Bentley mini-concert for the country music enthusiasts (yours truly among them) and an extravagant post-dinner fireworks show over the Potomac River.

With Rights Deprived It Is the End of Hong Kong as We Knew It
It took less than three years since the enactment of the National Security Law (NSL) in Hong Kong, for the totalitarian regime of Hong Kong and communist China to turn the city into something that is almost unrecognizable.

Media’s Gorsuch Hit Continues to Delegitimize SCOTUS
Commentary As with ProPublica’s recent smear of Clarence Thomas, there’s a lot of excitement across the left-wing Twittersphere over a Politico hit on Neil Gorsuch. But even as a transparent piece of partisan propaganda, it is poorly conceived. Politico kicks off the piece, “Law firm head bought Gorsuch-owned property,” with a purposefully deceptive claim: “For…
Productivity Slows to a Crawl as Recession Sets In
Commentary For reasons I cannot explain, there was widespread shock at the new GDP numbers for the first quarter. They revealed a 1.1 percent growth rate, which is a crawl and much lower than the experts anticipated. And the new data points to an inexorable reality. Certainly the recession will be obvious by the summer…
China Enters EV Trade War
China is boosting its economy with new subsidies that promote auto exports at the expense of jobs and industrial strength in the United States, the European Union, Japan, South Korea, India, and other allied countries.

The Dangers of Upcoming Policy Changes at the WHO (Part 1)
Commentary The U.S. Constitution is first and foremost known for the God-given rights and freedoms that it protects. A recent webinar series by the Committee of the Present Danger: China sounded the alarm that these freedoms are now coming under attack from a very unexpected side: the World Health Organization (WHO).

AOC is Wrong—Deplatforming Never Works
Commentary Soon after Tucker Carlson left Fox News, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, more commonly known by her initials AOC, celebrated on social media, telling her followers that “deplatforming works.” Deplatforming, the practice of preventing an individual with specific views from voicing those views, might work for her, but it’s a disaster for broader society, according to a…
