In February 2022, I wrote this in my article “What If San Francisco Doesn’t Recover:” “If you go downtown during the day, you can see the difference. The office buildings are empty. Vehicle and pedestrian traffic aren’t half of what they used to be. But what other effect does that have on the city? “Well,…

The Coming Mild Recession
Commentary Debate on recession prospects has three sides. One points to still strong jobs growth and contends that the economy will avoid recession altogether. A second side contends that the jobs numbers are misleading and that a recession is imminent. Yet a third splits the difference, arguing that a recession will wait until 2024. Forecasting…
There Is No ‘Moving On’ From Corruption
Commentary A common sentiment expressed by some voters on social media these days is the need to “move on.” This viewpoint seems to be particularly popular with those deeply desirous of a Republican candidate for president of the United States who is not Donald Trump. They readily admit that Trump’s policies were far better for…
How Censorship Does and Does Not Work
Commentary We are watching the unfolding of despotism in real time. It is giving all of us a lesson in how it works. They locked us in our homes, closed our businesses, told us we cannot go to church or to restaurants, restricted our travel, but then a problem began. Many people started objecting and…
Hong Kong Does Not Care About the United Nations
Commentary This year marked the 34th anniversary of the June 4th incident, a 1989 student-led demonstration in China that resulted in bloody suppression and massacre. Since then, the annual June 4th candlelight vigil has been part of Hong Kong’s history until 2020, when the national security law banned such national security-threatening activities. However, with the…
House GOP Vote to Protect Adam Schiff
Commentary Sen. Adam Schiff? Like the sound of that? Twenty Republican U.S. House members who voted against and three who abstained in the vote to censure Rep. Schiff (D-Calif.) may not either, but, inadvertently or not, they have done their best to ensure not only Schiff’s survival but his promotion. There is nothing more that Schiff,…

Has modern art lost its power when artists are compelled to cater to political standards for the sake of inclusion? Creativity and imagination are the catalysts of an artist’s work, making art highly individual and subjective. The interpretation of art is subjective as well. However, art in 2023 is becoming constricted by woke inclusion standards….
President Trump, Bud Light, Target, and the LA Dodgers
Commentary Millions of Americans’ negative reactions to the indictment of President Donald Trump are not all related to his personal appeal. They are responses to the cultural civil war being waged by an aggressive, immoral, and potentially dictatorial elite minority. There is a parallel between what is happening to President Trump and the American people’s…

Commentary In February of this year, 21 U.S. states asked the Biden administration to officially label Mexican drug cartels terrorist organizations. The states’ attorneys general making the request made this argument: designating Mexican criminal cartels as FTOs, Foreign Terrorist Organizations, allows the United States to use more than that federal police, state police, and judicial…
Leftists Trash US Constitution
Commentary If you own a business, the leftists in Congress are coming after you. The only thing standing in their way is the U.S. Constitution. Whether you own a mom-and-pop diner, an auto repair shop, or shares in a multinational corporation, your property is at risk. The Constitution’s takings clause was designed to protect us…
