Commentary “There is no such thing as a free lunch” is an almost iconic popular phrase. I am reminded of this when reflecting on the current trend in many countries to introduce the four-day working week. For example, on Nov. 21, 2022, Belgium implemented a law that enables willing employees to transition to a four-day…

Mervyn King’s Proposal for Preventing Bank Runs Deserves Another Hearing
Commentary March was a bad month for the Dodd-Frank Act. We now know that Dodd-Frank, passed in the wake of the 2007–2008 banking crisis, doesn’t prevent bank runs. Neither do post–2008 arrangements tell depositors whether large deposits are safe or should be withdrawn with a swipe on a smartphone. This time, uninsured deposits were bailed…
Top Ten Quotes From the NYT Fauci Interview
Commentary Billed as the most in-depth interview yet, the New York Times published a very long piece that contains some rather startling admissions, claims, and defenses from Anthony Fauci, the face of lockdowns and shot mandates. The author and interviewer is David Wallace-Wells, who before (and now after) COVID specialized in writing about climate change, invokes every…

Commentary In 2021, the New York Times reported that the San Francisco Board of Education had approved a plan to rename 44 of the city’s schools that were named after people such as Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, Paul Revere, and Robert Louis Stevenson, due to those historical figures’ connection with white supremacy and patriarchy. The…
Tucker Carlson Has Become the John Milton of the Internet Age
Commentary Tucker Carlson is a determined and courageous advocate for free speech in an age where that right is increasingly challenged and becoming evanescent. He is the John Milton of our era. He might also be the most powerful independent force in a media world that is constantly changing shape, finding new ways to tell…
What Are Illegal Chinese Communist Government Police Stations Doing in the US?
Commentary The Chinese Communist government has been caught operating approximately 100 overseas police stations in at least 53 countries—including at least seven illegal police stations throughout the United States. If it sounds shocking, it’s because it is. A foreign adversary, intent on exerting its influence throughout the world and undermining the United States’ position as the world’s preeminent superpower, covertly set…
Bill C-11: How to Get the Internet, Not TrudeauNet
Commentary What can you do if you don’t want the new government-approved internet? If you want the internet, not TrudeauNet, find a VPN (Virtual Private Network) and you are on your way. VPNs are designed to enhance security but also to make your IP address invisible to the rest of the internet. That means you…
A Cost to Climate Virtue
Commentary All over the developed world, voters identify inflation as a significant concern. They do so for good reason. Inflation is stubborn and brings hardships at all levels of society. If left unchecked, it will stifle growth prospects. As is always the case, today’s inflation stems primarily from faulty monetary policies. But if monetary mismanagement…

Commentary For years, China complained about the development and deployment of American missile defenses, a capability that Beijing didn’t have and claimed would undermine strategic stability and security in Asia. It’s funny how you don’t hear Beijing protesting about the development and deployment of U.S. missile defenses anymore now that China itself is developing and…
Tucker Carlson and the Struggle for Civilizational Sanity
Commentary Last Friday, I attended The Heritage Foundation’s 50th Anniversary Gala, a sprawling and swanky affair featuring many fine presentations, a surprise Dierks Bentley mini-concert for the country music enthusiasts (yours truly among them) and an extravagant post-dinner fireworks show over the Potomac River. But the highlight of the evening, bar none, was former Fox…
