Commentary Just a few hours before President Biden tied his political fate to the economy, embracing the term “Bidenomics” in a Chicago speech Wednesday, June 28, he was still trying to dispel worries about a looming recession. A reporter asked Biden, before he boarded Marine One, whether he believed the worst of inflation was over….
Unravelling the Damage Inflicted by Past Judicial Activism
Commentary Judicial activism. The role of the democratic legislature. The separation of powers. The creative tensions between the two. They are all substantive issues vitally important to the proper functioning of our body politic. It is right and proper that those who make the laws are not the interpreters of those laws.

They Will Pry My Cocktail Ice From My Cold Dead Fingers
Commentary This time, one might say, the Scientific American has gone too far. But actually, that’s been going on for years.

Bidenomics Is a Big Bust
Commentary Word out of the White House is that President Joe Biden wants to tout his economic successes. He’s even embracing the slogan “Bidenomics”—which most people think is a term of as a term of derision and policy flops.

Dave Chappelle Is Still One of the All-Time Greats
Commentary I recently saw Dave Chappelle perform his newest show, which evidently will be his next Netflix special, and yes, it will generate more “bad press” as he would call it, perhaps similar to his last special.
