Commentary As the debt ceiling debate looms, U.S. national security may be at risk while welfare is safe. The U.S. Constitution states that the purpose of the government is “to establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity.”…

Post-Durham Report, Is It Time for GOP Candidates to Stop Campaigning and Support Trump?
Commentary I have registered my discontent with the Durham Report—that it doesn’t go far enough and advocate punishment (indictments) for the obvious evil-doers at the top—although it does a workman-like job of detailing the treasonous betrayal of Donald Trump before and during his presidency and, even more ominously, the similar betrayal of this country, its…
Israel Facing a Multi-Front War of Biblical Proportions
Commentary How will the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) handle emboldened enemies surrounding it? For Israel, in many ways, it’s the best of times. Israel has never been as technologically and militarily advanced or as economically powerful as it is today. The level of development it has reached in the past couple of decades is impressive…
Is Self-Defense Becoming Illegal?
Commentary If someone you love were threatened, or physically attacked, do you have the right to defend them? And even more so, when police are being defunded and when criminals are being released on the streets, do you have a right to protect yourself? Do you have to just let things happen? Must you just…
The Transgressive Road to Slavery
Commentary Picture today’s quintessential TikTok star with her (or is it “zer”?) unheard-of gender identity, unpronounceable pronouns, and glorified mental illness. Picture those woke college professors who rail against “anti-messiness,” “pro-niceness,” and organized pantries. Listen to modern relationship “experts” who basically just say ignore all traditional mores, be as promiscuous as possible, never get married, and never…
Eco-Anxiety Is a Reflection of a Sick Society
Commentary Unless you happen to live under a rock on a distant planet, you’re no doubt familiar with climate doomism, the idea that our planet is past the point of saving. In the UK, a staggering two-thirds of people are worried sick about the environment. In the United States, doomism, a potent mix of fear-based…
Repeal the Quarantine Power
Commentary It was March 12, 2020, and I was sitting on a moving Amtrak train out of Manhattan and headed to the Hudson train stop. From what I experienced in New York City that day—people drinking themselves silly at noon and otherwise scurrying through the streets to get out because of the bad germ on…
De-dollarization?
Commentary The potential U.S. debt ceiling and U.S. dollar status problems reignite the discussion of de-dollarization. The status of U.S. dollar will no doubt be firmly anchored in the financial market, which has already been discussed here previously. But the U.S. dollar share of goods trade is claimed to be jeopardized by the Chinese mouthpieces…
AI Is for Artificial Intelligence, Not Artistic Imitation
Commentary Art is the highest form of human expression; that is, art is most effective in evoking and exploring expressions intrinsic to the human experience. There can be no room for what you might call fake art, art that is, at its heart, inauthentic. I examined authenticity in my Honour’s thesis, and submit that authentic…
Is Liberal Democracy Possible Without God?
Commentary As Western society becomes increasingly secularized, can our liberal democracy survive without God? John Adams wrote to the Massachusetts Militia in 1798 that “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious People. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” The claim made by Adams’ makes eminent sense if we…
