The Case for CryptoCurrency
Commentary Most people have heard about cryptocurrency. If you listen to Warren Buffet’s partner Charlie Munger, you would have heard it is a fraud. My own problem with cryptocurrency is it’s all promises with no delivery. No one has built anything useful yet. When you talk to proponents of cryptocurrency, they will regale you with…
Why Psychology Is Failing Men
Commentary Daniel de Visé, a writer for The Hill, recently discussed the United States’ crisis of masculinity. “More than 60 percent of young men are single,” he noted, “nearly twice the rate of unattached young women.” This gap, he warned, signals “a larger breakdown in the social, romantic and sexual life of the American male.” He’s right.

East Palestine Reckons With the Shattering of Its Sense of Place
Commentary EAST PALESTINE—Rick Tsai is standing knee-deep in the briskly flowing Lesley Run creek, a mile downstream of where the massive derailment happened in this Columbiana County village.

Commentary Before President Joe Biden entered the White House, he consulted with several prominent historians about how to be a great commander in chief. Their answer: Grow government.
