Commentary The Guardian’s Oliver Wainwright recently discussed a new “international socialist conspiracy” that has taken the world by storm. “Fringe forces of the far left,” he noted, “are plotting to take away our freedom to be stuck in traffic jams, to crawl along clogged ring roads and trawl the streets in search of a parking…

Commentary The announcement by the federal government that it intends to change the tax structure on superannuation (pension funds) should be of concern to all Australians. Indeed, it should be concerning to all Australians as it is arguably retrospective. We are once again seeing a federal treasurer targeting a soft target (superannuation) in an attempt…

Commentary After witnessing the stunning recall of three trustees in a very progressive San Francisco Unified School Board in February 2022, many in the media began to marvel at the political power disenchanted parents and public school advocates were capable of wielding. After all, San Francisco has the fewest number of children per capita of…
The Calamitous Consequences of Weakening the Criminal Justice System
Commentary They say that a conservative is a liberal who’s been mugged. That could be one way to describe Minnesota Democratic Rep. Angie Craig, a one-time House progressive who in 2020 and 2021 voted to support the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, a bill that would have made it significantly easier to hold federal,…

Commentary Last year, we were treated to astonishing hearings on the Jan. 6, 2021 protests on Capitol Hill. The Democrats running the show portrayed an insurrection, sedition, and even an attempted coup d’état. The theater was selective and manipulative but it was very effective and implausibly so. It made it impossible to publicly suggest that…
The Perils of Confusing ‘Privilege’ and ‘Victimhood’
Commentary Given the left’s recent push to redefine concepts such as “privilege” and “victimhood, let’s take a moment to examine the lives of two very different Americans. Consider Shelby Steele, whose paternal grandfather was born a slave. His father was a truck driver with a third-grade education, and his mother was a social worker. Steele…
The UN Promotes Abortion as a ‘God-Given Right’
Commentary In the 2021 Commission on the Status of Women conference held at the United Nations in New York City, the UN unveiled a renewed strategy for advancing “Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights.” In an event called, “Reclaiming Gender Justice: Countering National, Regional, and Global Backlashes,” Ib Peterson, deputy executive director of the UN Population…
Socialist Security
Commentary Social Security is the third rail of U.S. politics. President Joe Biden has recently made great hay out of Rep. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) daring to even hint that this sacred program could be altered in any way, manner, shape, or form. Nor have the Republicans dared to challenge our president on this matter. Instead,…
Disobeying Valid Laws: When Is It Justified
Commentary In 1970, the Sydney Morning Herald published an article entitled “How should we react to unjust laws?” The author, Ilmar Tammelo, argued that defiance of an allegedly “unjust” law leads to “awkward practical consequences” because “on critically important occasions, it may be extremely difficult to ascertain what is just and what is unjust.” In…
Is Fox News Inadvertently Responsible for the ‘Trump Bump’ in Polls?
Commentary Axios is reporting a “Trump Bump” in the polls for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination. Indeed, this seems to be true since the 45th president has jumped up significantly in four of the most recent polls against his putatively most important opponent, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who has yet to declare his candidacy but…
