Commentary The report (pdf), from a consortium of U.N.-backed agencies, is shocking: There’s nothing necessarily wrong with adults having sex with children.

Commentary Fifteen years ago, the entire housing sector sunk from its highs. Because so much debt is involved in this market, carried by banks but then bundled without regard to risk and resold in financial markets, this turn of events precipitated a financial crisis that spread around the world.

Why Isn’t Big Tech Demonized for Polluting?
Commentary When it comes to evil, profit-greedy polluters, the left and its allies in the establishment media have you conditioned to think reflexively of Big Oil.

The Founders and the Constitution, Part 6: James Wilson
Commentary James Madison was the individual with the most influence on the framing (writing) of the Constitution. Some authors rate James Wilson second. I don’t agree with the latter assessment.
