Commentary As nearly every standardized test is showing, our schools are doing an abysmal job teaching kids how to read or do math. In some cases, kids graduating from high school can barely read their diplomas. But the schools are wildly succeeding with their climate change indoctrination program. When I speak to kids on high…
Double Standards on Aisle One
Commentary One of the funniest and most original Monty Python skits finds a man paying a receptionist to have an argument with one of her fellow office workers, who does this for a living. But he enters the wrong door. “This is abuse,” he is told by another employee whose job it is to insult…
Bankers and Regulators Fail Money and Banking 101
Commentary During the 2008 financial crisis, banks failed because they assumed too much credit risk by holding complex assets that defaulted. So far during the 2023 crisis, banks have failed because they took on too much interest rate risk by holding too much long-term fixed-rate debt, including U.S. Treasuries.

Commentary It is consoling to learn that the Chinese ambassador to Australia is concerned about how we spend our taxes.

We Hope Freedom Will Come Someday For Tibet, Democratic China and Hong Kong
I have become an “accidental activist” since the Occupy Central/ Umbrella Movement days of 2013-2014 in Hong Kong.
