Commentary Rowan Atkinson or as many of us know him: “The guy who played Mr. Bean,” has more experience with EVs than most.

Biden Admin’s Weak China Strategy
Commentary U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken is bending over backwards to extend a friendly hand to China. He may slip on the ice.

Instead of acknowledging its failure to follow tried-and-true forest-management procedures, the government instead points the finger at climate change. “We’re seeing more and more of these fires because of climate change,” Prime Minister Trudeau tweeted. “These fires are affecting everyday…
Cory Morgan: The Mounting ‘Yes Minister’ Moments Are Not So Funny
Commentary Satirical comedy is at its best when it can straddle the fine line between believability and comical exaggeration. A British sitcom in the 1980s called “Yes Minister” struck the balance perfectly as it followed the follies of a fictional cabinet minister named Jim Hacker. The show is carefully crafted to never identify the party…

From Neglect to Nurturing: A Father’s Day Transformation
Commentary For most Americans, Father’s Day is a time to show their appreciation to the man who helped raise them, guide them in life, and is a role model for healthy masculinity. However, for me, as a child, I saw Father’s Day as a day to ignore, because my father ignored me. My father had…

Commentary The promise of franchise businesses is that any schmuck with the money to buy one, the grit to do it, and the extraordinary work ethic required to run a business can be successful—and even become wealthy beyond their wildest dreams.
