Commentary The Biden administration has passed a 1 percent tax on stock buybacks. A stock buyback is when a public company uses its own cash to buy back its own stock. Sometimes it is financially in the best interest of the company to actually borrow money to buy back stock. Democrats dislike stock buybacks because…

Biden Supports Republicans in Blocking DC Crime Bill
Commentary President Joe Biden announced he will not veto a resolution passed by the Republican-controlled House which overturns a new District of Columbia crime reform law, assuming the resolution passes in the Senate. The district is under federal jurisdiction, so Congress can overturn D.C. legislation. But this is the first time in 30 years that…
College Industrial Complex’s Left-wing Lies
Commentary Families saving for college and encouraging their kids to aim for the top are getting scammed by the left-wing college industrial complex. Colleges distort and outright lie about who gets accepted, education quality, and what it costs. If they were selling auto loans and used the same deceptive tactics, they’d be in jail. Columbia…

Commentary How much affection does the ruling class have for the First Amendment? Not very much if any. Consider the mainstream media’s response to Tucker Carlson’s extended release of January 6 footage that reveals that the simple-minded story told by the Democrats is false. The picture we get is very different from what we’ve been…

Commentary Australia has an acute housing crisis. Mortgage repayments are at record levels of unaffordability, measured by the ability to pay, and the national rental vacancy factor is only 0.8 percent. Government moves to increase taxes on superannuation and uncertainty over whether they will or will not apply capital gains tax to the family home…
Tampering With Water Rights Could Increase Costs in California
Commentary As I’ve mentioned before, “In California, whisky is for drinking and water is for fighting,” according to a quote attributed to Mark Twain. Your water costs soon could be going up even more. That’s because the state is looking to “fix” the current complicated system. Here’s the title of the Los Angeles Times’ “unbiased” news story…
Forget Ukraine, the US Military Should Annihilate the Cartels
Commentary I am not a great fan of Vladimir Putin, to say the least. (I suppose I have to say that for the record.) Unfortunately, although I thought I liked Volodymyr Zelenskyy until he started restricting press and religious freedoms, I’m not much of an admirer of his, either. Moreover, I spent time in Crimea in…
Is This California Pro-Lifers’ Moment?
Commentary Pro-lifers rallied March 6 in Sacramento in front of the Capitol. They numbered “a few hundred,” according to the Sacramento Bee. Given recent events in this state, this would seem not the most propitious time to try to save babies. Last November, voters passed Proposition 1, which wrote abortion “rights” into the state constitution,…
The New Frontiers for the Pro-Life Movement
Commentary After the Supreme Court’s historic Dobbs decision overturned one of the worst decisions in Supreme Court history, Roe v. Wade, the American pro-life movement celebrated its greatest victory for life in nearly 50 years. At the same time, some on the radical left responded by attacking churches, pregnancy centers, and other pro-life institutions across…
Poland: NATO’s New Bulwark
Commentary During the Cold War, the United States counted on a few key European allies to shore up the NATO alliance. West Germany was the Atlantic Alliance’s front line, hosting hundreds of thousands of troops from several NATO nations. Britain was America’s unsinkable aircraft carrier for medium-range bombers. Italy and Spain provided critical infrastructure for…
