Commentary You know how dealing with the government can drive you mad, including that pre-emptive warning not to use the language so hard to suppress when told they’re experiencing a “higher than usual call volume” for the 20th straight year? Turns out you’re not alone. And while misery may not love this kind of company,…
John Robson: Even Bureaucrats Are Finding Excessive Bureaucracy Intolerable
Has Donald Trump Returned From the Wilderness?
Commentary A week, as the British Prime Minister Harold Wilson once observed, is a long time in politics. That’s time enough, as T. S. Eliot said in another context, “for a hundred indecisions,/ And for a hundred visions and revisions,/ Before the taking of a toast and tea.” Until Sunday night, I suspected that the…

Commentary When you get older—I’m 67—one of the things that happens is you need more health care. I’ve written hundreds of editorials and columns calling for privatizing Medicare. Never happened.

Can the Right Make a Long Countermarch Through the Institutions?
Commentary Is the Right commencing a long countermarch through the institutions, including the very one—the academy—from which the Left’s own long march began? Judging by the distress shown by some in the educational establishment, and like-minded corporate media, regarding higher-education reform efforts in North Carolina and Florida, one might get the impression that the countermarch is not…
Can Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Win the Nomination for President?
Commentary Before you reject my speculation that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. can run and win against Joe Biden for the Democratic Party, consider this.

Why Student Loan Debt Relief Is a Worse Idea Than You Think
Commentary The U.S. Supreme Court has heard different arguments from supporters and opponents of President Joe Biden’s student debt forgiveness program.

Stagflation Perils
Commentary “The decade ahead may well be a Stagflationary Debt Crisis the likes of which we’ve never seen before,” warns New York University economics professor emeritus Nouriel Roubini, who has the distinction of having forecast the home mortgage-driven 2008 financial debacle as early as 2006. The Turkish-born Roubini is no conservative, having served on President…
Reject the WEF, Reject the Metaverse
Commentary The Metaverse. You’re probably familiar with the concept. It’s just like the internet, but in 3D. Instead of surfing the web, people will inhabit it. Initially, this type of “living” will be done via avatars. However, one day, in the not-so-distant future, according to Mark Zuckerberg, one of the metaverse’s chief architects, humans will…
