Commentary LONDON—A few days ago, I had lunch with a British friend I have known for many years, and no sooner had we settled ourselves into our chairs in our favorite Chinese restaurant in Soho than she began to rail at me about President Donald Trump.

Commentary I live in a small, faith-based college town. Ave Maria University, Florida, is formally Catholic, and the town is informally but predominantly so.

Recent […]

Commentary There is a marked contrast between several teams of prosecutors currently at work in Washington and elsewhere. One team of investigators has been leaking constantly.

Analysis When it comes to military development, four of the key elements are range, yield, accuracy, and numbers (RYAN). I like to personify these elements as “‘RYAN,’ the world’s most important Irishman.” So why is RYAN so important? Because, he is everywhere, on every military research facility, and present in the fears and hopes of […]

Jordan Peterson might be today’s most influential public intellectual, having achieved that fame in only two years, following a long career as an academic and a practicing clinical psychologist.

What legalese conceals, a heart-wrenching film reveals. Not only does the 2017 film “Little Pink House” show why June 23, 2005, was a grave day in U.S. legal history, it humanizes the victims of this tragedy for the American dream. The Supreme Court’s famous Kelo decision, which narrowly rejected an eminent-domain appeal, went against the […]
