Commentary To defend liberty it’s critical to recognize the left’s enormous appetite for the pursuit of unfounded allegations. In early adult life, the iconic communist philosopher Karl Marx mused about being a soul “once true to God,” but “chosen for Hell.” He candidly identified with the “Prince of Darkness,” the Fallen Angel who orthodox Christians…
Los Angeles School Strike Demonstrates Union Focus is Leftist Politics, Not Education
Commentary In recent years we have seen that leftist ideology has infiltrated all elements of American society. What started in the universities has now spread to corporations, the military, the criminal justice system, the administrative state, many churches, and our grade schools. Last week’s Los Angeles school strike demonstrated that the spread to our schools…
Nashville Shootings Create Forceful Pushback Against ‘Pride’ Event in Nearby Franklin
Commentary Nashville, Tennessee, is a city turned inside out—with justification. The multiple murders at the Covenant School on March 27—including three 9-year-olds—are such a great tragedy, it may take years to digest. The perpetrator’s “manifesto” still hasn’t been revealed to the public, perhaps out of civic concern for what it says. Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.)…
The (Block) Chaining of America
Commentary We live in the Age of Deception. Calling something what it truly is, is a rarity these days. Big Lies, Bad Outcomes, and No Consequences For example, the Biden administration’s “Inflation Reduction Act” actually raised prices on fuel and utilities, hurting middle-income Americans the worst. The law did exactly the opposite of what the…
Is America Still a Capitalist Society? The Case for Letting the Market Speak
Commentary In theory, America is a capitalistic society. One beautiful part about capitalism is that everyone gets to participate. If you create value, you get rewarded for it. If you invent something new and create a lot of value, you get rewarded handsomely for your effort. However, the flip side of living in a capitalistic…
An Ominous Decay of Values
Commentary According to a sobering new report, the last quarter-century has seen a huge change in some significant traditional social values among the American populace—changes in attitudes toward patriotism, religion, and having children. But before addressing specific values, let’s examine the concept of “value” itself. “Value” lies at the heart of economics. It’s the core…
Newsom’s Fast-Tracked Oil Bill Will Raise Gas Prices
Commentary Gov. Gavin Newsom’s oil bill to reduce gas prices at the pump actually will increase them. It’s simple economics: Increase regulations, potential tax increases, and uncertainty into any market, and the price of its goods will go up. That’s precisely what will be the result of Senate Bill 2, introduced by state Sen. Nancy…
The Finns Are Ready to Deter Russia
Commentary On March 27, Hungary’s parliament overwhelmingly approved Finland’s application to join NATO. Finland and Sweden, both Cold War neutrals, applied to join NATO in May 2022.

What Is This FTX/CCP Connection?
Commentary There has always been a great deal of fishiness surrounding the blowup of the crypto exchange FTX and its founder Sam Bankman-Fried. The company seemed to appear out of nowhere.

China Controls Your Meds
Commentary Democrats and Republicans battered TikTok’s CEO at a House of Representatives hearing on Thursday—for good reason. The Chinese app poses a national security risk, accumulating troves of data on its American users.
