Commentary Hillary Clinton writes in The New York Times that Republican insistence to link any increase in the nation’s debt ceiling to spending control and cuts threatens our national security. “It’s a sad irony that Mr. McCarthy and many of the same congressional Republicans seemingly intent on sabotaging America’s global leadership by refusing to pay…
Michael Zwaagstra: Let the People Closest to the Ground Decide Education Policy
Commentary All students deserve a quality education, regardless of where they live. However, it would be a mistake to assume this only happens when all students attend the same type of school. School choice is a strength, not a weakness, in our country. Much of this flexibility stems from the Constitution, which explicitly gives the…
The ‘Degrowth’ Movement: Socialism by Another Name
Commentary Last December, the journal Nature published an article bearing the title, “Degrowth can work — here’s how science can help.” The subtitle proclaims, “Wealthy countries can create prosperity while using less materials and energy if they abandon economic growth as an objective.” As the article itself makes plain, these folks aren’t advocating slower growth;…
Drug Reforms? More Like Drug Deforms
Commentary Talk about “drug reform” should always start with the recognition that non-medically prescribed drugs deform. Drug use unrelated to medical conditions nearly always deforms and harms health. Surely the Queensland government is aware of that truth.

Commentary At age 24, at the commencement of his teaching career—coincident with the appearance of multiculturalism, postmodernism, the idea that Western civilization is just one approach—this author understood that the career before him would be in the service of a system in decline. He could have withdrawn and chosen not to serve; instead, he followed…
The Final Brick in the Vaccine Efficacy Narrative
Commentary Two key bricks seem to have already fallen from the COVID vaccines’ narrative—the one about their fantastic efficacy against infections and the one about their superb safety. However, one stubborn narrative brick seems to stand still, leading many people to believe that the booster doses of the vaccines are capable of providing long-term protection…
