Commentary Later in this piece I discuss the HBO series “Succession.” If you are allergic to anything like a very mild spoiler—I don’t think what I’m going to say spoils anything really—you should not read this. It’s about real and fake in the workplace and how to deal with the difference. Tell me if this…

Commentary The idea of a holistic concept of health—that our environment (or “biosphere”) influences our well-being, is far older than written history.

Japan Is Back, yet Still Far From Its Old Days

Commentary I wonder how long King Charles will reign over this realm of Australia. I am in favour of the King, but not particularly optimistic about his future here.

ANALYSIS: Scope of FBI’s Use of 702 Section Data on Americans Revealed for 1st Time
News Analysis The FBI’s use of warrantless “backdoor searches” of a vast amount of information known as the Section 702 database—which is intended for targeted surveillance of foreign persons located outside the United States—to spy on Americans is far more widespread than previously thought, according to a new report from the Office of the Director of National…
Why Faith and Family are the Cure for Loneliness
Commentary A few weeks ago, the U.S. Surgeon General issued an alarming report (pdf) on the state of loneliness in America. While expressing great concern about the toll loneliness takes on a person’s mental health, the report goes on to ignore two of the best antidotes for curing the problem: family and faith.

Taiwan Today Is Eerily Similar to the Sudetenland in 1938
Commentary Over the past several years, the People’s Liberation Army Navy has been saber-rattling in the Taiwan Strait, East China Sea, and South China Sea. Chinese warships were conducting “intensive combat exercises,” as noted by Newsweek, and, more recently, practicing what long-time China watchers James Fanell and Bradley Thayer referred to in The Washington Times on…

Commentary One of the defects in California’s political system is how not just the public-employee unions, but the super-wealthy can manipulation the system.
