Tim Scott Silences The View: His Life Counters Their Lies
Is It Equal Rights or Special Rights?
Commentary Bravo to the Orange County Board of Supervisors for exercising some backbone by limiting the amount of flags that can be flown on county properties. This is how it ought to be in every American city, county, and state. The Pride flag will not be raised on these properties but can be flown on…
A New Attack on California’s Prop. 13 Tax Cuts
Commentary The Proposition 13 tax limitation from 1978 is the foundation of California’s private-sector economy. It’s always under attack by those who want to raise taxes even higher. It makes owning property the only activity in the state that’s not taxed at a high rate. Specifically, its main part limits property taxes to 1 percent…
Normalizing the Abnormal Has Consequences
Commentary If you haven’t completely lost patience, you’re far more patient than I. If you’re still sympathetic to degeneracy, you and I are at opposite ends of the empathy scale. That means, you deserve what’s happening. But because we’re literally all in this together, I and many others are grudgingly along for the ride. Here’s…
High Interest Rates, High Inflation, and Record Debt
Commentary Financially, it’s going to be an interesting summer. At the moment mortgage rates are hitting 7 percent, median rent prices are at $1,850 per month, and the average car payment is around $950 per month. Household debt is currently at $17.1 trillion, mortgages are at $12 trillion, and auto loans are at $1.6 trillion….
It’s Time to End Permanent Normal Trade Relations With China
Commentary Decoupling. Derisking. Strategic competition. Call it what you will, but politics, public policy, and many private sector actors have shifted decisively away from deepening economic engagement with China. We’ve seen some significant executive actions from the White House, a new Congressional committee, and heaps of rhetoric and analysis from the punditry all directed at…
There’s No Such Thing as ‘Government Stimulus’
Commentary Money has no purpose absent production first. Say it over and over again. Money is abundant in the United States not because the Fed decreed it so, but because productivity is a magnet for investment. If ever there comes a time when Americans cease their productive ways, the money will exit. And the Fed…
Health-Care Innovation Will Be Key to Smith’s Success as Premier
Commentary It’s time to move on. The Alberta election is over: Danielle Smith is the premier and that means it is time for the politicians to put aside the campaign’s empty rhetoric and face the realities of how they can best fix a broken health-care system. It is estimated that as many as 800,000 Albertans…
Remembering the Horrors of D-Day
Commentary Seventy-nine years ago this week, the Allies assaulted the Normandy beaches on D-Day, June 6, 1944. Their invasion marked the largest amphibious landing since the Persians under Xerxes invaded the Greek mainland in 480 B.C. Nearly 160,000 American, British, and Canadian soldiers stormed five beaches of Nazi-occupied France. The plan was to liberate western…
For True Inclusivity School Boards Should Only Promote the Canadian Flag
Commentary York Catholic District School Board’s (YCDSB) decision not to fly the pride flag this June is the right decision. It should be the same for all public schools, and all government and municipal properties. Why? For the simple reason that the only flags that truly represent all Ontarians without controversy are Canadian, provincial, or…
