America's crowning achievement was the moon landing. But, since 1972, our nation's priorities have shifted from moon missions to diversity, equity, and inclusion. It doesn't have to be this way.

Time to Share the Foreign Policy Vision (If Any)
The way to have the foreign policy you want is first to figure out what kind of foreign policy you want. It is a task at which American leaders grow less and less adept, possibly on account of Americans’ general inability to figure out what they want: involvement, isolation or variations of the two? What,...
Democracy in Action
As both Drutman and Katz emphasize, before the 1970ās lobbying in America was a paltry enterprise.Ā In the immediate postwar era, under the pro-business Eisenhower and Kennedy administrations, few companies hired in-house lobbyists; instead, they worked through trade associations or independent lobbying firms.Ā Under Lyndon Johnson regulatory legislation addressed a host of social and economic...
Politicians Are Incentivized to Embrace Useless COVID-19 Restrictions
Over the weekend Dr. Ashish Jha, dean of the Brown University School of Public Health, took to Twitter to criticize Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker for not taking more assertive government action to slow the spread of the coronavirus. āMassachusetts has more new COVID cases per capita than Georgia, Florida, or Texas,ā observed Jha, who also...
Rejecting Marriage
Remember āElisaās Lawā?Ā In 1996, New York Gov. George Pataki signed this legislation, which removed, in the words of then Speaker of the New York Assembly Sheldon Silver, āarchaic confidentiality lawsā pertaining to juvenile-court and medical records.Ā The law also extended the period during which records of unfounded reports of child abuse were to be...
Giving Thanks for the Web of Interdependence
Much has been made this year of expressing gratitude to frontline and essential workers. Whether in healthcare, grocery stores, or other industries, these individuals put their lives on the line to serve others, forming a strong link in the web of interdependence we all share. Yet expressing such gratitude often requires us to notice events...
Mea Culpa
Dear Norman, This is the second (and probably the last) time I have written to you. The first time was way back in tumultuous 1968 when, as a kind of review of your book Making It, for the Hollins Critic, I wrote you an open letter entitled “My Silk Purse and Yours; Making It, Starring...
Fear and Loathing in Ferguson
The recent riots in majority-black Ferguson, Missouri have seized the attention of the world.

Moonbeam Returns
California is like a beautiful woman who always falls for losers.Ā In just the past 13 years, voters put on the governorās throne Gray Davis, who was so bad he was dumped from power in the stateās historic 2003 recall.Ā He was replaced by Arnold Schwarzenegger, who promised to āterminateā Californiaās problems, especially its endemic...
Moscowās Weakness
āIt is obvious that the elites of the West ā U.S. government, the EU, NATO and the banking interests wish to overthrow Putin and his government and open Russia to ideological, economic and material exploitation,ā a perceptive reader commented on my December 19 posting. āIt is obvious that there are factions deep within the Russian...
Mel and His Critics
Mel Gibsonās The Passion of the Christ opens in theaters on Ash Wednesday (February 25).Ā It is too early to tell whether Gibson has achieved his aim of creating an artistically compelling account of the last 12 hours of Christās life that is also faithful to the Gospels, although those who have previewed the film...
Courage in Profile
Like Richard A. Epstein’s earlier book Takings, dealing with the defense of property in the Fifth Amendment, his latest one combines legal study and economic analysis with megadoses of political and social theory. Though Epstein explores, for the most part, civil rights legislation aimed at the removal of job discrimination, he devotes the opening section...
America’s Deceitful Elite
Lying is the new normalĀ as far as our governing elite are concerned. Of course, Iām talking about the news organizations, Big Tech, āwokeā billionaires, and the celebrity class of illiterate know-nothings on social media. I smelled a rat way back in 2015 when I read the opening remarks of Hillary Clintonās address to the Women...
The Empire Strikes Back
This is a brilliant and disturbing book.Ā Its opening sentence is āEurope is doomed.āĀ If you think that this is simply colorful rhetoric, read on.Ā Hasta la Vista Europe is not alarmist; it is alarming, making its case in great detail ranging over many issues and countries.Ā The pseudonymous author represents a number of researchers...
Trump vs. Macron at the UN
In his latest interview with Radio Sputnik International, Srdja Trifkovic discusses President Donald Trumpās speech to the UN General Assembly and contrasts his defense of national sovereignty with French President Emanuel Macronās advocacy of multilateralism before the same forum.

The Mythological South
Jim Jarmusch’s Down By Law opens with rolling shots of New Orleans townhouses) tenements, the down and out on a crummy side-street.

Republicanism, Monarchy, and the Human Scale of Politics
The Founding Fathers had to face hard and unprecedented questions about the size and scale of a political order.Ā They occupied a vast region, and conventional wisdom said that such could only be governed by monarchy.Ā They were determined to be republicans, however, and the conventional wisdom was that republics had to be small.Ā The...
Real Causes
Ask any trendy student of history today and he will tell you that, without question, the cause of the great American bloodletting of 1861ā65 was slavery.Ā Slavery and nothing but slavery.Ā The unstated and usually unconscious assumption is that only people warped by a vicious institution could possibly fight against being part of āthe greatest...
Comment
If familiarity were the same thing as understanding, it would be supererogatory to raise the question of what the media mean. Nothing is more generally familiar in our time, nothing deals more consistently with the familiar, and nothing familiarizes masses of men more rapidly with certain classes of events. Surely it should be enough for...
Dare to Be a Daniela
In early July, the United States Supreme Court, acting on a plea brought by two unidentified families, one Mormon and one Roman Catholic, ruled the practice of prayer at high-school football games unconstitutional (Santa Fe School District v. Jane Doe). Although the prayer was delivered by a girl designated by her fellow students, Justice John...
Blame America First
“America First,” he said, whereupon the skies opened, the thunder cracked, the rains came . . . who knew the empire was so sensitive? The corporate-media response to Patrick J. Buchanan’s A Republic, Not an Empireāand when is the last time a presidential candidate wrote his own campaign book?ārivals the Two-Minute Hates directed at Goldstein...
THE NEW WORLD ORDER
. . . [T]he central issue in American politics at the end of the century is what might be described as “The National Question”āwhether America is that interlacing of ethnicity and culture we call a nation and whether the American nation-state, the political expression of that nation, is going to survive. It’s a problem that’s...
And I Solemnly Promise You
Beto O’Rourke’s pullout from the presidential race leaves the Democrats with, oh, a mere dozen and a half or so candidates available to run the country. The country’s corresponding task is to keep awake for the remainder of the race. The pressing question is, or should be, what goes on here? What’s the missionāto can...
Werenāt We Supposed to āLearn to Code?ā
An undercover video exposed IBM's CEO pressuring his executives to hire based on racial quotas that discriminate against whites, Asians, and males. Such apparent violations of the Civil Rights Act are now standard practice in America.
Sexual Perversity West of Chicago
This summer, Lagado University established itself as a major player at the cutting edge of American theater. Angels’ Hair for Rent in Calcutta, OH, written and directed by Jonathan Raspberry, LU Professor of English and Musicology, opened July 24 at the Galaxy Theater and Opera House in Bismarck, North Dakota. This was its first performance...
AIDS Capital of the Nation
San Francisco, the AIDS capital of the nation, is presumably a city that should be open to a variety of views on how to combat the virus. As the experience of Dr. Lorraine Day of San Francisco General Hospital suggests, the greater the concentration of homosexuals and AIDS carriers in an area, the narrower the...
Hot Topic
Gays in the military is a hot topic with the American people. I know this firsthand, for in addition to my law practice and my duties as director of the Heartland Institute of Missouri, I host a Friday afternoon call-in show on a St. Louis radio station. WGNU, notorious in St. Louis for having been...
The War of Nihilisms
The first English translation of Ernst JĆ¼ngerās journals from the Second World War is a cause for celebration. The journals were like treasures stashed away in an old castle, behind a door that could be unlocked only if one learned to read German. Itās open now, and whatās inside are literary gems on every page....
A ‘Read-My-Lips’ Moment for Trump?
“Having cut a deal with Democrats for help with the debt ceiling, will Trump seek a deal with Democrats on amnesty for the ‘Dreamers’ in return for funding for border security?” The answer to that question, raised in my column a week ago, is in. Last night, President Donald Trump cut a deal with “Chuck...
On Agrarianism
I enjoyed Mark Winchellās āTracts Against Capitalismā (Vital Signs, January) when it presented facts regarding the Agrarians, but I must take issue with a number of his opinions. Peaceful Valley residents have more than two options regarding Wal-Mart.Ā They could, for example, form a corporation (non-profit or otherwise) to buy the land in question, or...
NAFTA Approved
NAFTA was approved by Congress in November 1993. That year, the United States had a $1.6 billion trade surplus with Mexico, down from $5.7 billion the year before. The proponents of the new agreement argued that the “opening” of Mexico would reverse this trend. Home to 90 million people, Mexico was portrayed as a “big...
Raptures of High-Mindedness
Barnard College’s “First Year Seminar Committee” has decided to use a grant from the Ford Foundation to encourage the faculty to use the works of “minority women” in their courses. So reports Herbert London in the Spring 1990 issue of Academic Questions, the journal of the National Association of Scholars. It seems that faculty members...
Fish or Cut Bait
President Obamaās nationally televised speech announcing an increase in troop levels in Afghanistan was everything we have come to expect from one of his speeches: vapid, dishonest, puerile, andāmost of allāconfused.Ā Speaking grandly of an exit strategy he never defined, he did not once address the more serious question of an entrance strategy.Ā What possible...
Neoconservative Ideology
The neoconservative ideology of Western (preferably American) democracy and free markets is a form of secular religion.Ā The door to this secular church begins to open to the sinner when he starts surfing the internet, watching CNN, eating at McDonaldās, and reading the gospel according to Tom Friedman.Ā And he (āor sheāāadding that is itself...
Swan Song From Our Second Worst President
President Obamaās final State of the Union address was long on themes and short on specifics.Ā It clearly was an attempt to secure a legacy of accomplishment.Ā That attempt is at best questionable.Ā It is important to divide Obamaās record between what he failed to do and what he has succeeded in doingāmost of it bad. Either...
Fear of Crime Is the Real Problem
Crime is back in the news and hardly a day now passes without headlines about shootings at largely peaceful funerals and all the rest. The obvious question is whether this soaring criminality will render big cities like New York City unlivableāa return to when movie audiences cheered Charles Bronson inĀ Death Wish. Todayās crime is deceptively...
Pound Foolish
The question arises very early on and looms ever larger as one progresses through this thousand-page-long life: how did Humphrey Carpenter stand it? Pound’s range was from loathsome or contemptible at the beginning to hateful at the apex of his career, and finally to pitiable at the end. To have continued with this distasteful project,...
Life, Immigration, and the Pursuit of Consistent Conservatism
Congressman Chris Cannon of Utah and his open-borders cronies at the Wall Street Journal, who have embarked on a smear campaign against mainstream immigration-control groups, should learn to differentiate between real xenophobes (as found in an August 2004 Tennessee primary election) and the vast majority of people with legitimate rationales for favoring lower, tighter immigration....
A Tale of Two Cities
Many American Jews suffer culture shock when they first visit Tel Aviv.Ā Having grown up watching reruns of the movie Exodus, they imagine Israelis as yarmulke-wearing cowboys valiantly defending their land against attacks from vicious tribes of Arab terrorists.Ā Arriving in Tel Aviv, they find a bustling city full of secular, middle-class Israelis practicing their...
Trump Is Right about NATO, Brussels Attacks
This week Donald Trump ignited another furor, this time for asking the simple question of whether Americaās commitment to NATO is worth it. The following day, Brussels was hit by jihad terror attacks. Ā Johnny on the spot, Senator Ted Cruz accused Trump of surrendering to ISIS and to Putin in the face of the...
Sounds of the Sixties
To address the main question first: Yes, they really can. Thatās the definitive answer to Americaās burning cultural debate of the 1960ās about whether or not the Monkees could actually play their musical instruments.Ā Perhaps you remember the general contours of the arguments pro and con: on the one hand, that the Monkees were four...
Trumped-Up Document Dump
āCanāt we just drone this guy?ā Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is reported, by several sources, to have asked in a meeting at the State Department in 2010.Ā The āguyā in question was WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, and after the stunt he pulled in the early morning hours of October 4, Donald Trump and Hillary...
The Impotent Hegemon
āThings are in the saddle, and ride mankind.ā Emersonās couplet comes to mind as the New Year opens with Pakistan, the second largest Muslim country on Earth, in social and political chaos, trending toward a failed state with nuclear weapons. Former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, whom the White House pressed to return home from exile...
A Great Non-Event
The presidential election of 2000 is one of the great non-events of modern history. Paradoxically, it may have a powerful effect in waking people up to the reality of what we laughingly call our “democratic institutions.” So far from this election calling into question the “wisdom of the Founding Fathers,” it proves they were right...
Losing Our American Minds
America is becoming an open-air insane asylum. Something about modern life is driving people crazy and nobody really knows what to do about it.
The Libyan Stalemate
Ā The Libyan operation is being quietly aborted, barely three weeks after its ill-conceived onset. There will be no mission creep, no American boots on the ground, and no arming and training of the rebel forces. The impending stalemate is the least of all evils. It is preferable to an open-ended escalation or to an...
Sex Scandal du Jour
Remember Gwen Dreyer? No, of course not. She was the poor, unfortunate midshipman who was “chained to a urinal” at the United States Naval Academy in the winter of 1990. The incident came at the end of a long day of snowball fights and practical jokes, in which Ms. Dreyer had willingly taken part. Sometime...
Organized Coercion
The more it changes, the more it's the same, hmmm? In this present instance, meaning our country's seemingly fresh-scented wrangle over union power. The scent isn't fresh at all, nor is the wrangle. The arguments are old, the question at stake is old: namely, when is the public interest served ...
