The madness that comes regularly from higher education used to surprise me, but no more; I’ve learned to expect it. Here are a few of the most recent examples: As reported by two faculty members in an article in the Wall Street Journal, in a new attempt to monitor its faculty for signs of bias, […]
What Next in Venezuela?
It is pretty clear to me from a distance and with minimal insight that the overthrow of the Maduro regime in Venezuela, thought by many to be imminent a few months ago, has become a very remote proposition.

It now becomes necessary to defend the most productive economic system in world history with many of its leading practitioners. For example, my friend […]

Herman Cain talked and wrote about […]
The William Barr Show-Trial

The Krauthammer Finale
If you are a big fan of Charles Krauthammer as I am, this volume, The Point of It All: A Lifetime of Great Loves and Endeavors, will not disappoint. In fact I think it is better than his last collection of essays before his death. This one encompasses 91 essays and articles covering almost 40 years […]

Who’s Killing Public Education Reform?
My friends Rick Hess and Jay Greene have done a good job recently in the Wall Street Journal, with some good follow up by Jason Riley, in describing the takeover of public education reform efforts recently by progressive Democrats and the difference they believe this has made in the progress of reform going forward. Among […]
