Commentary Poor Ilhan Omar has been denied a seat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee. “I certainly did not or was not aware that the word ‘hypnotized’ was a trope,” the congresswoman told CNN’s Dana Bash this week. “I wasn’t aware of the fact that there are tropes about Jews and money. That has been…
You’re Being Lied to About the War in Ukraine
Commentary This isn’t a surprise to any honest observer of international politics. It has therefore been frustrating to hear voices that many of us trust repeating the same tropes about “evil Vladimir Putin” and the “fight for democracy.” Likewise, as if reading off reports straight from the U.S. State Department or a CNN teleprompter, they…

Commentary Australia is beginning to tear itself apart at the behest of the clumsy and ham-fisted approach of the government and its determination to shoehorn the Indigenous Voice to Parliament (the Voice) into the Australian Constitution. What is being promoted as healing and reconciling is in practice dividing and alienating. The Voice is a proposal…

George Soros is the notorious billionaire who bankrolls many progressive groups, policies, and personnel. To understand why crime has risen and why the criminal justice system is failing America, you have to follow his money right down to the district attorneys. Soros built a whole philosophy on the reflexiveness of interconnected systems, whereby one system…
How It’s Done
Commentary The Jesuits used to say that if you gave them a child until he was 7, they would give you the man. We can dicker about the time it takes to form a person’s character, but there’s no doubt that those early experiences shape us for life. Which is one reason why we think primary…

Commentary Each city in California has a due date for issuing its annual comprehensive financial report (ACFR), which includes its audited financial statements—but there is no penalty for missing the deadline. So, of course, some cities are laggards. A few cities in Los Angeles County still have to issue their ACFR for the years ending…
Religious Schools and Anti-Discrimination Laws: Are They Incompatible?
Commentary On Nov. 4 2022, Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus requested the Australian Law Reform Commission (ALRC) to report on the reforms that would need to be undertaken to ensure that the Sex Discrimination Act 1984 (Cth) reflects the Government’s commitment to amend the Act “in a manner that is consistent with the rights and freedoms recognised…
Welcome to San Francisco: The New Gotham City
Rampant crime and corruption. A deadly drug crisis. Unprecedented homelessness. Grossly overwhelmed and underfunded police departments. If that is not convincing enough, add a diminishing population that is all but powerless against a crime-infested city. Comic book fans might suggest these conditions are hauntingly reminiscent of Gotham City—a fictitious city in the all-American classic, Batman….
Ukraine’s Nation in Arms: The Unexpected Near-Peer War
Commentary Russia versus Ukraine: It’s an unexpected “near-peer” war. Eleven months of combat and suffering demonstrate that on the battlefield Ukraine can defeat a Russian invasion then launch limited but sustained (and thus effective) local counter-offensives. As Month 12 begins, satellites photograph trenches and shell holes, wire services report artillery slugfests and cable TV experts…
Lifting the Debt Ceiling Is Not a Social Policy
Commentary Every time the United States reaches its debt limit, we read that it’s important to reach an agreement to lift it. The narrative is that the debt ceiling must be raised, or the U.S. economy will suffer a severe contraction. There’s even an episode of a TV series, “Designated Survivor,” where the character played…
