Commentary So, what does “education” for a warfighter look like? In today’s military, many lament the tremendous amounts of time spent on what seems to be useless teaching—SHARP (Sexual Harassment / Assault Response and Prevention), EO (Equal Opportunity), “don’t-rape-that-person-or-that-one,” etc.—and a lack of relevant training. Whether or not the former examples are pointless is, although…

How Money Moves Prices
Commentary The banking crisis is there, but global inflation does not ease quickly. Breaking down the components tells clearly that the non-core components (food and energy) almost vanish while the core ones (mainly services) are still firm. This is true in most of the advanced economies, including Japan. Housing prices are generally coming down (some…
The Gender Bullies Run Rampant
Commentary Many years ago, as an undergraduate member of our Union board, it fell to me to chair a meeting at my university. After all those years, I can’t honestly recall what the meeting was about, but the “Rads” (radicals, as we used to call them in those days) evidently decided to break it up….
California’s Education Priorities Are Focused on Equity Quotas
Commentary A March 26 front page article in the Orange County Register bemoaned the fact that too few black and Latino males become teachers in the California public schools in proportion to Caucasian men and women. It didn’t mention Asian male teachers, but painted minority teachers as “people of color” as if Caucasians don’t come…
Women Work Harder Than Men? Phooey!
Commentary “Women work harder than men.” That was the sexist headline for an article earlier this year on The Conversation. Hardly unusual, given that the overburdened woman is a favoured theme with our media intent on singing women’s praises and denigrating men at every conceivable opportunity. But this anthropological study takes the cake. It involved…
A Democratic Revival? Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Throws His Hat in the Ring
Commentary Back to the Future, or whatever. As predicted by this column and echoed by Epoch Times senior editor Jan Jekielek, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is running for president. This should be welcome news to all Americans of both parties. The Democratic Party, from Barack Obama to Joe Biden, has been leading our country poco-a-poco…

Commentary The state of California has finally released its latest Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) for the year ending June 2021, months after the previous State Controller left the building. This is supposed to be issued within 180 days, not 21 months. We can assume that the June 2022 report will be available a year…
Banning TikTok Isn’t Racist—It’s Rational
Commentary Congress seems determined to ban TikTok, the Chinese-owned video-sharing app that stands accused of being a Trojan horse for the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The vast majority of Americans, according to recent Pew findings, also support a ban. Some Democrats, however, believe a ban on TikTok would be “racist.” In reality, banning TikTok has…
What Is Hong Kong?
Commentary After Nottingham, I was invited to speak at Solihull, one of the last places in England that presented their Hong Kong March cultural festival. Among the speakers was Timothy Bateman, an activist who helps new immigrants, including those from Hong Kong, settle and integrate into the community. He shared his observations on Hong Kong’s…

Commentary Do you think COVID-19 is bad? Far worse is Oval Office Fever. And Gov. Gavin Newsom has a bad case of it. That explains his national Campaign for Democracy tour—even as the state he governs continues to deteriorate. It’s paid for by a new Political Action Committee (PAC) using funds he didn’t spend on…
