Kentucky Education Leader Not Surprised by Nation’s Report Card
Kentucky’s top education official said he was not surprised by the state’s results in this year’s National Assessment of Educational Progress, which were released on Monday. Billed as the Nation’s Report Card, the assessment conducted by the U.S. Department of Education’s National Center for Educational Statistics found that 43 percent of Kentucky’s eighth graders had…
Progress and Its Deluded Enemies
Commentary The Biden administration has released a very strange executive order. It hardly makes any sense. It’s called “Advancing Biotechnology and Biomanufacturing Innovation for Sustainable, Safe, and Secure American Bioeconomy.” That’s a lot of bio stuff. Here is a screenshot. This is not English. It’s something else. The only real takeaway from these 5,000 words…
How Seventy Years of Progress Came to an End
Commentary The new inflation numbers are out. It’s 8 percent on consumer prices, or so they say. Not even that is believable. More likely, it’s already double digit. The U.S. president blames Russia, clearly hoping the Americans are too dull to understand timelines or economics. Let’s look at the bigger picture. The United States has…

The Power of Progress
We recently snuck away for a long weekend to Michigan’s Upper Peninsula (UP), which is one of our favorite spots to unwind and reset. It’s one of those places where you can set an “I will have limited access to email” out-of-office reply message and mean it. When we go to the UP, we like…
The Incredible Potential of Daily Practice
I’ve been repeatedly reminded of the power of practicing something regularly. Daily is best, I’ve learned, but several times a week works well, too. You’d be surprised how much progress you can make with even a small amount of practice, applied regularly. Here are some examples from my life. A daily 10-minute yoga practice. I’m very inflexible, and…
Ancient and Lonely Urban Monuments Evoke Today’s Political Division
Commentary PITTSBURGH—The 2.8-mile-long East Street Valley neighborhood, which once flourished here, sure died hard. Drive, walk, or cycle past the remnants of it today, and traces of what used to be are everywhere along the hollow of the rolling Allegheny Mountain neighborhoods that lead out of the city proper from the banks of the Allegheny…
The Long, Slow Path to Progress
I stopped writing for nearly two years. I had intended to return to my Life and Whim blog long ago, but various circumstances too mundane and uninteresting to recount got in the way.
