The Boys of America Are Suffering—How Can We Help Them?
Commentary Contrary to popular belief, the patriarchy doesn’t rule with an iron fist. Nevertheless, for some perverse reason, the myth of male privilege still persists. Today, only a fool could look around and honestly say that we live in a man’s world. Every 13.7 minutes, somewhere in the United States, a man takes his own…
The Supreme Court’s New Decision on ‘Taking Property’
Commentary In the next few weeks, the Supreme Court will be finishing up its October Term. The term gets its name from the fact that it begins Oct. 1. The next few columns will unpack some of the court’s most important decisions. I will be focusing mostly (although not entirely) on cases interpreting the Constitution…
Queensland’s Treaty Bill Puts Impotence of Liberal-Nationals on Full Display
Commentary In May, with the support of the opposition and the Greens, the Queensland Parliament adopted the Path to Treaty Act 2023. Although Australian papers and opinion pages are saturated with stories about “The Voice” and First Nations’ claims to sovereignty, there has been little discussion of this potentially divisive Queensland legislation.

How Exploring Family History Can Enrich and Refine Your Perspective
Commentary This spring, I found a card sent to me as a child from my paternal grandmother. In addition to her usual expressions of love and advice, my grandmother suggested that one of my ancestors came across the ocean on the Mayflower. Forgetting she had made such a statement years ago, and wanting to personally…

Thoughts on Liberty, With an Assist From Benjamin Constant
Commentary Writing on the anniversary of the “Tank Man” incident in Tiananmen Square (June 5, 1989), I find myself thinking about some signal anatomists of the totalitarian impulse. George Orwell, for example, would have been surprised to discover that his searing portrayals of tyranny have been adopted as how-to manuals by the new lobotomized left,…
John Robson: The Great Indo-Pacific Rhetoric Patch
Commentary On the contentious doctrine of Purgatory, I do feel that time spent reading government press releases should earn some remission of sins.
