‘Woke’ Behind the Scenes, Fox News No Longer Worth Watching

Commentary Forget about boycotting Fox News for blocking Tucker Carlson, as bad as that was. We’re past that stage. A leaked company handbook—the contents of which were published by The Daily Signal on May 22—reveals that Fox and presumably its parent News Corp. are on the other side of the ideological struggle gripping this country…


The Bud Light Fiasco Rocks the World of Marketing

Commentary It was not supposed to be this way. The idea within Anheuser-Busch was that its traditional buyers were a given, a clan to be taken for granted. The whole point of marketing, as it is taught in the high-end schools (as if professors know about this stuff) is that reaching new and underserved markets…


Corporate Espionage, Chinese Style

Commentary Some consider the very first case of international industrial spying to be the 18th-century letters of the missionary superior general of the French Jesuits, François-Xavier d’Entrecolles, describing the manufacture of the exquisite porcelain of Jingdezhen in southeast China, where what are recognized as the finest ceramics in the world trace their origins to the sixth…


Why the Debate Over the Debt Ceiling Is Critical

Commentary Let’s get one thing off the table. Putting aside the Biden administration’s fear-mongering, the U.S. government will not substantively default on its debt in June 2023. The game of high-stakes chicken being played right now with congressional leadership will resolve before it is too late. In brief, the administration and Democrat leadership want to raise…

The Dark Truth About Finland’s Happiness

Commentary When it comes to TV shows, they really don’t make them like they used to. Today, finding a new TV series actually worth watching is incredibly difficult. Sure, we have unlimited options, but many of these options are, for lack of a better description, thoroughly underwhelming. All hope is not lost, however. Rainn Wilson,…


5 Critical Points About America’s Speech Police

Commentary Recently I testified before the House Homeland Security Subcommittee on Oversight, Investigations, and Accountability for a vital hearing titled “Censorship Laundering: How the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Enables the Silencing of Dissent.” That hearing centered on the role of DHS sub-agency CISA, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, in censoring the speech…


Durham Report Is Idictment of Justice System and Special Counsel Itself

Commentary Special Counsel John Durham’s report represents a trifecta of indictments. First and foremost, it’s a direct indictment of our national security and law enforcement apparatus, suggesting it’s plagued by unfathomable levels of rot and corruption at the highest ranks. Second, it’s an indirect indictment of our justice system. Third, through the special counsel’s own…


There Is No Beauty in Bureaucracy

Commentary One of the great problems that we have here in Australia is that within our arts institutions, artistic decisions are increasingly being made not by artists but by administrators. Take, for example, the symphony orchestra. Where a conductor once largely curated his own artistic affairs, an “artistic planning team” of three to four bureaucrats,…


Unions Robbing Productive Taxpayers

Commentary It’s payback time. The Community Public Sector Union (CPSU), having helped bankroll Labor’s victory by donating its members’ funds to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars, appears to be now expecting a quid pro quo from Labor for its members by the use of taxpayer funds. This is evident from the public…
