Why Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s Presidential Bid Completely Changes the National Discussion

Commentary Robert F. Kennedy’s leap into the 2024 presidential race is huge. I would go so far as to call it a pivotal moment in American history because Kennedy will bring his fight against censorship, Big Tech collusion, Big Pharma, and vaccine injuries to the forefront of the national discussion—and that’s already making a lot…


Central Banks and the Destruction of Capital

Commentary Inflation in assets inevitably leads to bubbles bursting. In the period when central banks were glad to see limited consumer price increases despite large increases in the money supply, they created massive inflation in assets. Throughout the quantitative easing era, bond prices spiked, equity valuations soared, house prices increased significantly above affordability levels, and…


Destruction of Capital and Central Banks

Commentary Inflation in assets inevitably leads to bubbles bursting. In the period when central banks were glad to see limited consumer price increases despite large increases in the money supply, they created massive inflation in assets. Throughout the quantitative easing era, bond prices spiked, equity valuations soared, house prices increased significantly above affordability levels, and…


Time Is Ticking for Jim Chalmers to Make His Mark as Treasurer

Commentary Australia’s federal treasurer, Jim Chalmers, is a young man in a hurry. While his mentor was Treasurer Wayne Swan, for whom he worked between 2007 and 2013, he appears to have Paul Keating’s trajectory in mind—treasurer to the prime minister. But Keating’s rise was meteoric. Winning office in only March 1983, he had done…


Peter Menzies: Canada’s Descent Into Military Penury and Ungrateful Freeloading Is a Disgrace

Commentary Flying low over the desert at night, their helicopters’ lights out, U.S. Navy Seals zipped in and out of Khartoum on April 23 to safely extricate its diplomats from a country on the edge of destruction. The United Kingdom pulled off a similar operation, while countries such as France, Germany, Spain, and Italy have…


Tucker Carlson’s Departure Means Fox News Doomed to Irrelevance

Commentary Was he fired or did he quit? Maybe it doesn’t make a difference. Maybe, in fact, it was likely a long time coming. We may never know in the world of nondisclosure agreements, but, in an act that can only be seen as corporate suicide, Fox News has let Tucker Carlson go, on April 24,…


US–NATO Tanks—Will They Make a Significant Difference?

Commentary Western tanks will “burn like all the rest,” Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said. The statement by Pesckov must be viewed in the context of the dozens and dozens of articles speaking glowingly about how great Leopard and Abrams tanks are, how easily they will dispatch Russian tanks, and how they will ensure victory for…


Design Flaws in Military Weapon Platforms Harm National Security

Commentary In recent military news, the rollout of the U.S. Marine Corps’ Amphibious Combat Vehicle (ACV) has run up against design and operational challenges. The ACV is meant to replace the well-used Amphibious Assault Vehicle (AAV), a less complex weapons platform in service since 1972. The ACV has been tested since 2019 at Marine Corps…


The Growing Consumer Revolt Against Woke Ideology

Commentary It’s likely true: no executives at Anheuser-Busch knew what the Bud Light marketing people were planning when they decided to deploy an absurdist and deeply offensive transgender TikTok influencer to sell their beer. But soon after it happened, public disgust became rather obvious. The crisis began but for weeks, the company was in denial….


In Praise of the Anti-Feminists Defending Domesticity

Commentary The English TV personality Susanna Reid once said, “Women telling men to step out of roles so they can step into them isn’t going to endear people to feminism,” nor “is telling women they are betraying feminism by enjoying the pleasures of being a traditional housewife.” Wise words. Sadly, in these hyper-modern, ridiculously polarizing…
