Right to Faith-Based Education Sacrificed at the Altar of Progressivism

Commentary If, like most of us, you are under the impression that parents have a “right” to see their children educated within their own values system, you are mistaken. In practice today, mainstream religion, and all the values that it connotes, are being erased from our national education system. Every child in Australia has the…


The Prize for Supporting Women’s Rights: Expulsion in the Name of ‘Inclusion’

Commentary A political observer might be surprised by the ability of the Liberal Party to condemn itself to a long period in the political wilderness. Although the reasons for this are complex, its inability (or unwillingness) to serve its conservative support base is a contributing factor. This was most visibly demonstrated in the event that…


Real Reason Trump Surges and DeSantis Declines in Morning Consult Poll

Commentary Like almost all polls, Morning Consult gets mixed reviews. FiveThirtyEight gives it a “B-“ while Media Bias/Fact Check anoints it with its “Leased Biased” rating, deeming it “very high” in the factual reporting department. Go figure. Whatever the case, we can assume the poll you like is the one that shows you winning, especially…


California Bill Would Boost Investment in the State

Commentary The key to economic growth is investment in new businesses and jobs. But all investments are risks. You might make a lot of money—or lose it all. The way to boost investments is to reduce risks. One way to do so is to cut taxes to boost profits. That’s the idea behind Assembly Bill…


Evidence Overwhelmingly Pointed to Leak From Wuhan Lab From Day One

Commentary A recent assessment from the U.S. Energy Department found that the COVID-19 virus likely emerged from a Chinese laboratory. News of this development has caused major media organizations to sharply pivot in their coverage of the origin of the pandemic. Previously, any information about a lab origin was rigorously avoided, but now corporate media…


America’s Broken Health Care: Diagnosis and Prescription

The following is adapted from a talk delivered at Hillsdale College on March 5, 2023, during a Center for Constructive Alternatives conference on “Big Pharma.” I developed a serious cardiac arrhythmia, ventricular tachycardia, seven years ago. It worsened over the past summer and early fall, and over the past six weeks I’ve had several ambulance rides…


The Day the Sunrise Was a Curse

Commentary March 17, 2020, was the first day of the end of civilized life, the one for which Western peoples had been fighting for one thousand years. It was the first full day following the lockdowns that ended all rights and liberties, including even the right to have friends for dinner or go to community…


US Real-Time Intel Helps India Deal China a Defeat

Commentary In December 2022 I wrote a column titled “India and China Clash on the Roof of the World.” The Himalayan terrain and history where the incident that occurred Dec. 9, 2022, is obscure and complex. However, conflict between Asia’s two giants has global significance. The clash rated headlines throughout east Asia and the Pacific—headlines…


Sex Ed Is Getting Too Extreme

Commentary The facts of life haven’t changed, but sex education is entirely different now from what you likely learned in school. Sex ed in middle school now includes graphic lessons on anal sex, oral sex, and masturbation, with stick figures to illustrate body positions. Supplemental reading in middle school libraries includes “Sex, Puberty, and All…


Biden’s Job Is Running US, Not Israel

Commentary Widely reported in the press is that President Joe Biden called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to express his concern about judicial reforms that are currently being considered in Israel. We must wonder why Biden, who demonstrably cannot run our own country, feels behooved to tell others, particularly one as successful as Israel, how…
