Commentary Women were notably victimized by lockdowns, masking, and vaccine mandates. The lockdowns yanked many working women with children out of the workforce, closed child care and schooling, and forced them back into the home. Millions were hit by this fate, and many are still not back at work. Labor force participation by working-age women…

The Superwoke Bowl
Commentary If the 2023 Superbowl goes down in history as the “Superwoke Bowl” or the “Supersexist Bowl” it will have earned its title. Some examples: An ad for the TV show “Friday Night SmackDown” opens with a young woman in an office approaching an unaware youngish man from behind. Although unprovoked, the woman smacks him…
The Importance of American Assistance in Ukraine’s Fight Against Russia
Commentary The decisive moment is at hand in Ukraine. While other NATO countries have assisted Ukraine, that country wouldn’t have been able to resist successfully without American military and humanitarian assistance that now exceeds $50 billion. It’s only the United States that could assure Ukraine’s durable ability to resist almost any level of assault by…

Commentary The history of armed conflict reveals at least one truism: wars are more easily started than concluded. Consider the bloodiest conflict of the 20th century, the Great War. The conflict was at a stalemate for years until the Australian General John Monash engineered a breakthrough at Villers-Bretenneux and Le Hamel. For years, the frontlines…

Commentary The California Legislature seems determined to drive out even more residents by erecting “a multitude of New Offices” and sending “hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance,” to quote one of the Declaration of Independence’s charges against King George III, tyrant. Before the Feb. 17 deadline to submit…
Hypocrisy Unlimited: Hollywood’s Secret Counterfeit Vaccine Network
Commentary Last week, I had a remarkable phone call with a man or a woman—I am equivocating to protect the identity, though I assure you he or she was one or the other, not in the least transgendered—from my former home in the Los Angeles area, regarding Hollywood and COVID-19 or, as it is known…
Governments Can’t Blame Inflation on Energy Anymore
Commentary At the end of February 2023, the price of oil (WTI and Brent), Henry Hub and ICE natural gas, aluminum, copper, steel, corn, and wheat, and the Baltic Dry Index are below their February 2022 levels. The supply chain index and the global supply and demand balance, published by Morgan Stanley, have declined to…
John Robson: Lifting the Taboo on Discussing COVID’s Possible Lab-Leak Origin Signals a Return to Sanity and Civility
Commentary So it’s official. COVID came from a Chinese biological warfare lab unless it didn’t. Glad we got that one straightened out. I grasp that in today’s polarized world, those who already thought it was man-made are liable to trumpet this finding while those who did not will brush it off. And that it’s not…
Turkey’s Implosion and Isolation From the West
Commentary Turkey’s strategic collapse had, by early 2023, become unavoidable; it had already begun. And rather than attempt any remedial action, the government of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan merely worsened the crisis, hoping to achieve short-term popularity. However, his apparent paranoia over possible threats to his survival in office meant that he delayed by 48…

Commentary Jordan Peterson’s interview with Jay Bhattacharya is one of the more insightful conversations to come out of the post-pandemic period. It’s fascinating to see Peterson coming to terms with the sheer scale of the lockdown during which time he was rather sick. We could have used his voice then and I have no doubt that he…
