Commentary When I was in 5th grade, I woke one morning to the news that my school burned down. But as a kid, I thought it was a dream come true. No more walking one and a half miles from home to school carrying books (would parents even allow that now?) and no more sitting…

News Analysis Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) failed in spectacular and sudden fashion on March 10, becoming the second largest bank to do so in our nation’s history and triggering panic in our banking system in the process.

Bearing False Witness Is a Signature Tactic of the Left
Commentary To defend liberty it’s critical to recognize the left’s enormous appetite for the pursuit of unfounded allegations. In early adult life, the iconic communist philosopher Karl Marx mused about being a soul “once true to God,” but “chosen for Hell.” He candidly identified with the “Prince of Darkness,” the Fallen Angel who orthodox Christians…

Commentary In recent years we have seen that leftist ideology has infiltrated all elements of American society. What started in the universities has now spread to corporations, the military, the criminal justice system, the administrative state, many churches, and our grade schools.

Nashville Shootings Create Forceful Pushback Against ‘Pride’ Event in Nearby Franklin
Commentary Nashville, Tennessee, is a city turned inside out—with justification. The multiple murders at the Covenant School on March 27—including three 9-year-olds—are such a great tragedy, it may take years to digest. The perpetrator’s “manifesto” still hasn’t been revealed to the public, perhaps out of civic concern for what it says. Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.)…
Afghanistan: When ‘Humanitarian’ Projects, Aren’t
Commentary Engineers, especially civil engineers, build things. It’s what we do, and we consider each project, large or small, “our” project. Being a civil engineer in the Army engineering branch was especially rewarding. We played with bridge sets, construction equipment, and building parts. Army combat engineering also meant building structures for war: runways, fighting positions…

Commentary In theory, America is a capitalistic society. One beautiful part about capitalism is that everyone gets to participate. If you create value, you get rewarded for it. If you invent something new and create a lot of value, you get rewarded handsomely for your effort. However, the flip side of living in a capitalistic…
An Ominous Decay of Values
Commentary According to a sobering new report, the last quarter-century has seen a huge change in some significant traditional social values among the American populace—changes in attitudes toward patriotism, religion, and having children. But before addressing specific values, let’s examine the concept of “value” itself. “Value” lies at the heart of economics. It’s the core…

Commentary Gov. Gavin Newsom’s oil bill to reduce gas prices at the pump actually will increase them. It’s simple economics: Increase regulations, potential tax increases, and uncertainty into any market, and the price of its goods will go up.
