Commentary Does artificial intelligence threaten to conquer humanity? In recent months, the question has leaped from the pages of science fiction novels to the forefront of media and government attention. It’s unclear, however, how many of the discussants understand the implication of that leap. In the public mind, the threat either focuses narrowly on the…
A Voice to Parliament Will Increase Indigenous Dependence on Government
Commentary Australia’s Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, with the support of all the state and territory premiers, has officially backed the “First Nations Voice”—a standing consultative body to advise the government on laws and policies arguably affecting the Aboriginal community but, potentially, the nation as a whole. He says it is a priority for the government…
And Just Like That, Your Rights Are Gone
Commentary “He who controls the children, controls the future.” Whose quote is that? It’s mine. It formulated in my mind over the past several months as I’ve been adding more and more parental rights’ issues into my speeches. Why do I keep adding more and more in? Because the attack on parental rights is gaining…
Stories That Inspire Always Begin With an Everyman Never Giving Up
Commentary This past Saturday, Michael Block, golf’s 46-year-old everyman, was playing shoulder-to-shoulder with the world’s top players at the PGA Championship in New York state.

They want to throw money…
Vote With Your Wallet!
Commentary In graduate school, I encountered the disturbing theory that your vote doesn’t actually count for much. We have a winner-take-all system of voting in this country. That means that one vote for x is always canceled out by a vote for y. So a husband and wife who disagree might as well stay home….
Looking for the Good in People
Commentary Every day, we’re barraged with media reports magnifying negative aspects of human behavior. Whether a story deals with geopolitical friction and conflict on the global stage, the acrimony of shrill, scorched-earth political tussles here in the States, or just the latest local crime, the repetitive din surrounding ugly behaviors can make it too easy…
US Venture Capital Firms, Financial Firms Should Stop Backing Red China
Commentary China’s tech startup and venture capital boom over the last decade has produced some household names while stoking concerns that it would one day surpass innovation out of Silicon Valley. But that momentum has waned recently. Various reasons have dampened international funding into Chinese tech startups, including pandemic restrictions, the communist authority’s crackdown on…
McGowan’s Departure Marks the End of Labor’s Golden Era
Commentary The grind of politics is tough. It requires stamina, commitment, and focus. It is exhausting in every sense. Physically in the long hours. Intellectually with the reading, preparations, and deliberations. Emotionally with the decisions that need to be made not only in public policy but time from loved ones as well. Exhaustion is the…
