Commentary Massive election interference by the U.S. intelligence community to benefit the Democratic Party over the past decade is an actual threat to liberal democracy. Drastic reform is needed to keep our liberties from vanishing behind a veil of secrecy. The community is tasked with protecting the homeland from foreign adversaries. The intel community reportedly…
Release the Manifesto
Commentary On March 27, a transgender lunatic named Audrey Hale shot up a private Christian elementary school in Nashville, Tennessee. The shooter, who tragically killed three adults and three children before being neutralized by well-trained Metropolitan Nashville Police Department officers, was a 28-year-old biological female who had “transitioned” to a public-facing male “gender identity.” Nashville…
John Brennan, Enemy of the People
Commentary The just-released Durham report confirmed that the FBI not only failed to corroborate the Steele dossier, Hillary Clinton’s oppo-doc against former President Donald Trump, but it regularly ignored existing, sometimes dispositive, evidence to keep the investigation alive. Some officials were credulous. Others were devious. But no one “stole” our democracy—other than perhaps intelligence officials…
The High Dudgeon of the Debt Debate
Commentary “Debts and lies are generally mixed together,” said Francois Rabaleis. It was true 500 years ago when he said it and it has never been more true now. People hide their debts because they reveal a great deal of stupidity, profligacy, and miscalculation. Certainly that is true in personal finance. It is even more…
Are Fears of AI Justified?
Commentary Artificial intelligence (AI) has created some enthusiasm and even more fear. The fears center partly on matters of privacy and the upending of social relationships but mostly on job destruction. Such concerns are far from new. They have emerged with every technological advance since the industrial revolution began in the late 18th century. They…
DeSantis Reminds Public Universities of Uncomfortable Truth About ‘He Who Pays the Piper’
Commentary “He who pays the piper calls the tune” is a familiar proverb. Wiktionary tells us it means that “The person paying for something is the one who gets to say how it should be done.” It’s difficult if not impossible to argue against its wisdom. What’s the alternative? I suppose it would be something…
Nashville Coverup Escalates: Tennessee’s Governor Must Cancel Special Session
Commentary I was doing my usual Thursday morning stint on Tennessee Star Report radio, when host Michael Patrick Leahy read aloud the latest news from the Metro Nashville Police Department (MNPD) regarding the ongoing controversy concerning the dreadful slayings of six people, three of them 9-year-olds, at the Covenant School that has become something of…

First, the federal Dept. of Education ought to minimize its influence on local education,…
The America I Loved Is Leaving
Commentary The America I grew up in is leaving, spiraling down into the gutter of history like the Roman Empire. My father was a career military enlisted master sergeant who believed in discipline, and structure. I was raised to clean my room and make my bed before leaving the house. I attended elementary school in…
London Ontario’s Public Library Bans Society for Academic Freedom
Commentary In mid-May, True North columnist Andrew Lawton reported that the London Public Library in Ontario refused to rent space for an annual public lecture organized by the Society for Academic Freedom and Scholarship (SAFS).
