Where’s the Manifesto?

Commentary My home city of Nashville has been in a virtual non-stop uproar since the tragic murders of six people, three of them 9-year-old children, at The Covenant School on March 27. This has been ineffably sad for the family and friends of the victims, who are victims themselves, their grief often overwhelmed in a…


​March Madness: A Great Opening Act for a Busy Sports Season

Commentary It’s a great time of year to be an American sports fan. The just-completed “March Madness”—the NCAA-Division I men’s and women’s basketball playoffs—marked the end of “the winter lull in sports”—the relatively quiet month-and-a-half that comes after the Super Bowl in February. Although the winter lull allows the excitement level to ease off for…


Anti-Feminism: The Men Going Their Own Way

Commentary Warren Farrell, the co-author of “The Boy Crisis,” recently wrote an op-ed criticizing the 57th Super Bowl. Or, as he called it, the “Supersexist Bowl.” The event, which was watched by 113 million Americans, was littered with a number of sexist ads, according to Farrell. To be more specific, it was littered with anti-male…


The New York Times Finally Warms to Sweden’s Pandemic Response—Three Years Later

Commentary Last week The New York Times published an article that would have been unthinkable a few years ago. “How Did No-Mandate Sweden End Up With Such an Average Pandemic?” the headline asked. Times writer David Wallace-Wells doesn’t accept claims that Sweden—which drew intense criticism for refusing to go into lockdown in 2020—had the lowest…


The Nashville Shooting: Blame the Christian Victims

Commentary Was the Nashville school massacre of March 27 an anti-Christian hate crime? We don’t really know—partly because the Nashville police have so far not released a manifesto and other documents that might provide clues to the motivation of the suspect, 28-year-old Audrey Hale, killed by police after breaking into The Covenant School, a small…


The Fed Will Keep Tightening

Commentary With the failures of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) and Signature Bank, much of the financial community seems to think that the Federal Reserve (Fed) will try to ease financial pressures by softening its counter-inflationary policy posture. The Atlanta Fed’s market probability tracker showed a dramatic downward adjustment in people’s expectations of interest rate hikes….


Anti-White Racism Harms Us All

Commentary Justifying one form of racism justifies all forms of racism, historical and to be invented. All advocates of racism claim that their vilifying and persecuting certain categories of people are justified. Today, the fact that certain census categories of people are “underrepresented” in particular categories or groups in relation to their percentage of the…


UN-Sponsored Report Would Destroy Communities by Gutting Criminal Law

Commentary ​If you like the chaos and criminality unleashed in some of our greatest cities by progressive district attorneys refusing to enforce the criminal law, you will love the “reforms” a new UN-sponsored report advocates for the entire world. The “8 March Principles,” (pdf) as they are called, are a woke nightmare. Drafted by the…


Supreme Court’s Decision Will Hurt Patients in Canada

Commentary Recently, the Supreme Court of Canada announced it was not willing to hear an important health care court case. Patients should know, the court’s decision is anything but good news. Dr. Brian Day, founder of the Cambie Surgery Centre in British Columbia, was hoping to build on a 2005 Supreme Court ruling that found…


Our Leaders Should Stop Hiding Behind the Kids

Commentary As legislatures around the country consider a raft of bills relating to transgender issues, Health and Human Services Assistant Secretary for Health Rachel Levine says that “gender-affirming care” has the “highest support” of the Biden administration. The president himself called Florida’s attempts to ban gender mutilation of children “almost sinful” and derided proposed state…
