US Position on Syria Deteriorates
Commentary The U.S. position in the Middle East is weakening quickly. Nowhere is this more obvious than in Syria, where a pro-Russian dictator has waged a brutal civil war against his people with increasing impunity.

Sacrificing Success on the ‘Altar of Equity’
Commentary Somewhere around the mid-1960s the conventional conservative model of the English grammar school was finally over-turned by a new-age, liberal-progressive intellectual alliance of “progressive educators.” This shift of power and influence to the left led to changes in education that have had enormous effects on the worldview and behavior of recent generations.

Bill Barr Is at Fault in the Unresolved Election of 2020
Commentary In the aftermath of this month’s CNN town hall event with former President Donald Trump—largely viewed, even by the beleaguered network, as a fiasco—it may be time to again examine whether the 2020 presidential election was legitimate.

Dutton Makes Bold Move in Catch 22 Budget Reply
Commentary The lot of a first-term opposition leader is hell on earth.
