Commentary It seems that Chinese leader Xi Jinping is particularly sensitive to being described as a “dictator.” When U.S. President Joe Biden used the description, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) was outraged, with its mouthpiece, the Global Times calling it a vicious attack. If Biden had said that Xi was the “leader of a dictatorship,”…

News Analysis The Supreme Court’s six-member conservative-leaning majority flexed its muscles in its recent term that wrapped up on June 30. It adopted a conservative or pro-limited government position in a series of closely watched rulings dealing with affirmative action, student loan relief, religious freedom, immigration, and property rights. The term came after last year’s…
John Robson: What Would George Washington Say About the Current State of Affairs?
Commentary What would George Washington say? I can ask, even about modern politics, this July 4 because America’s first president was a man of such studious self-control that his answer, though furiously indignant, would be printable. As a Canadian I should also ask what Sir John A. Macdonald would say about our southern neighbour pondering…
Schools Can’t Compete with Youth Culture
Commentary When reading and math scores came out last month and showed an alarming drop in academic achievement, nobody should have been surprised. What else was going to happen when schools locked down, planted kids in a room at home, and attached them to a screen six hours a day? Did anybody but the most…
Veterans and the Power of Positive Thought
Commentary In 2019, I basked in the darkness and dined with my demons. They poured my favorite whiskey and my forever place at their dark dining table was set to welcome another fractured veteran. My cozy reservation at this somber dinner party was within grasp. When squared-up and standing face-to-face, I gave a subtle nod…
As We Celebrate Freedom, Let’s Keep the American Spirit Alive
Commentary In his eloquent and prophetic January 1989 farewell address to the nation, President Ronald Reagan gave us a somber warning, saying, “If we forget what we did, we won’t know who we are. I’m warning of an eradication of the American memory that could result, ultimately, in the erosion of the American spirit.” In…
SCOTUS Wakes Up
Commentary The Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) hasn’t given conservatives a straight flush. Justices John Roberts and Brett Kavanaugh broke ranks with their conservative confrères in the so-called voter rights case in Alabama. I say “so-called voter rights case” because, in fact, it had nothing to do with the law, which stipulates that…
Restoring the Meaning of Independence
Commentary In light of the United Kingdom’s 2020 decision to withdraw from the dysfunctional European Union, we might reflect on the historical context of our Independence Day and why we celebrate it. Two hundred and forty-seven years ago, the American Colonies severed the bonds with Britain, and our forefathers crafted a visionary document they called…
The Titan Disaster: Blame Techno-Complacency?
Commentary “This operation will be conducted inside an experimental submersible vessel that has not been approved or certified by any regulatory body.” “Travel in and around the vehicle could result in physical injury, disability, emotional trauma, or death.” Those are quotations from a waiver signed by a 2022 passenger on OceanGate Expeditions’ Titan submersible, the…
All About Prigozhin
Commentary There’s no doubt that the brief, but significant armed mutiny by Wagner group leader Yevgeny Prigozhin damaged Vladimir Putin. Indeed the Moscow Times described Putin as being “seen as weakened.” Russia Today asked the question, “Was it a one-off or an ominous sign?” And the Russia Post headline identified “The Prigozhin Mutiny as a…
