Commentary In “Armageddon,” Bruce Willis blows himself up on an asteroid to save his daughter and all of humanity. (Sorry for the spoiler, but the movie is 25 years old.) That theme—parents providing for, and sacrificing for, their children—is the deeply moral and moving story that Americans used to love. I say “used to,” because something…
West Virginia AG Morrisey Takes on the Woke and the Swamp
Commentary As attorney general of West Virginia, Patrick Morrisey has been a scourge of the administrative state, combatting what he perceives to be federal government overreach into the life and commerce of the Mountaineer State. On April 4, Morrisey announced that he is joining a crowded field seeking the Republican nomination in West Virginia’s 2024 gubernatorial race….
Scientific Consensus—A Manufactured Construct
Commentary In a recent interview, famed astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson was challenged on his scientific views about COVID-19 and he said “I’m only interested in consensus”—words that would have Nicholas Copernicus and Galileo Galilei rolling in their graves. The appeal to “scientific consensus” is fraught with problems, just like “The science is settled” and “Trust the…
The False Messaging on Vaccines Given to Pregnant Women
Commentary The mRNA vaccines were released globally in early 2021 with the slogan “safe and effective.” Unusually for a new class of medicine, they were soon recommended by public health authorities for pregnant women. By late 2021, working-age women, including those who were pregnant, were being thrown out of employment for not agreeing to be…
Disney Is Going to Lose (Again) to Florida and Ron DeSantis
Commentary The first round of the “Florida and Gov. Ron DeSantis v. The Walt Disney Company” fight, held last spring, ended in a clear DeSantis victory and Disney defeat. Following Disney’s vocal opposition to Florida’s commonsense Parental Rights in Education Act, misleadingly dubbed the “Don’t Say Gay” bill, Florida passed a law to abolish the…
The Worrying Trend of Children and ‘Consent’
Commentary The report (pdf), from a consortium of U.N.-backed agencies, is shocking: There’s nothing necessarily wrong with adults having sex with children. That is, as long as the sex is “consensual” and the young person involved possesses sufficient “maturity” to “make decisions about engaging in consensual sexual conduct.” The document, issued in March by the…
Republicans Need to Stop Being Cowards on Abortion
Commentary How many voters know that the Democratic Party supports legalized abortion through all nine months of pregnancy on demand for virtually any reason? How many voters know this position aligns with only six other countries in the world—three of them, not incidentally, being North Korea, Vietnam, and China? How many voters know that Democrats…
Why Isn’t Big Tech Demonized for Polluting?
Commentary When it comes to evil, profit-greedy polluters, the left and its allies in the establishment media have you conditioned to think reflexively of Big Oil. But as your ears burn from hearing the screams about the burning of fossil fuels sacrificing humanity on the altar of corporate avarice, you might be surprised to discover…
A Boom in US Manufacturing?
Commentary As American firms rethink their sourcing in China, some, it seems, have decided to bring their operations home. In 2022 and so far this year, investment in domestic U.S. manufacturing has risen smartly. Some of this spending aims to take advantage of federal largess, subsidies, and tax advantages for domestic chip making, electric vehicles…

Commentary Are Australian businesspeople being targeted by operatives of the CCP to provide sensitive information and data to the Chinese regime? The question arises following the arrest of a Sydney businessman, Alexander Csergo, following a joint Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO) and Counter Foreign Interference Taskforce (CFIT) investigation. He was charged with selling Australian defence…
