Commentary The New York Times often promotes socially destructive policies and reckless personal behaviors in opinion columns. The latest example sees self-identified “sex and culture” writer Magdalene J. Taylor promoting promiscuity as a socially desirable cure for loneliness that will benefit society by forging greater levels of “social solidarity.” In, “Have More Sex, Please!” Taylor…

If You Don’t Sell, Did You Lose Money or Not?
Commentary Last year, the stock market was down big. The exchange-traded fund that mimics the tech stocks on Nasdaq (QQQ) was down 19.8 percent. The bond market also took a dive since the Federal Reserve moved aggressively to raise interest rates. For what it is worth, statistically there is only a 9 percent chance of…
The Problem of Conservative Nihilism
Commentary Getting an outside perspective can provide fresh eyes to a situation that has been muddied by conformity and biases. Sometimes people are too invested to be objective about the reality of their situation and it requires an outsider to shine a light on the dark gaps in their knowledge. As a former Democrat, I…
What Could Jacob deGrom and Aaron Judge Have Been Thinking?
Commentary Cheer up, boys and girls of summer. Baseball spring training begins this month. As a fan of both New York baseball teams since age 11 (my Mets fan pastor calls this “schizophrenic,” but I remain undaunted), I’m among millions who especially value those home-grown players who develop into stars and remain with one team…

Commentary Are school trustees politicians? The answer seems obvious. Trustees are elected by the public, held accountable by voters, and conduct their business in open board meetings. This certainly sounds like a politician’s job. Not only that, but many school trustees use their position as a stepping stone to higher political office. For example, Ontario…
The DEI Invasion of Public Universities: Tax Dollars Fund Useless Bureaucrats and Indoctrination
Commentary At the University of Michigan, one of America’s top public research institutions, the average tenured professor makes $93,000 a year, according to data from Salary.com. That’s after a probationary period of around six years as an untenured “assistant professor” proving one’s research and teaching chops—plus the four to seven years it typically takes to…
Inflation: It’s About Much More Than the Price of Eggs
Commentary At the end of January, as America’s egg shortage deepened, news broke that U.S. border patrol agents had been seizing record amounts of eggs from travelers passing into the United States from Mexico. Between Oct. 1 and Dec. 31, 2022, U.S. customs reported a 108 percent increase in seizures of eggs and poultry. Is…
Doctors and Nurses Are Not Racists
Commentary Doctors and nurses are not racists. They’re everyday heroes. But left-wing activists and their media allies, including The New York Times, blame healthcare workers for the poorer health outcomes of black patients. That’s a cheap shot and a lie. On Sunday, the Times published a front-page story based on an analysis of U.S. census…
Social Security Reform About Principles, Not Accounting
Commentary Per CNN and other media outlets, when Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis ran his first campaign for Congress in 2012, he expressed support for “privatizing” Social Security. They predict, with little surprise, that this should provide red meat for attacks from former President Donald Trump and from Democrats, should DeSantis announce a presidential run. If…

Commentary There has been prejudice against the European economy. Previously we have discussed the unreasonably bearish outlook on it compared to the rest of the world, such as the U.S. and especially China. Such prejudice is not exactly fake news but is shaped by popular biased views or outlooks, especially by so-called experts. These are…
