In August 1945, the United States unleashed the power of the atom and leveled two Japanese cities.

In the summer of 2023, I fell in love with poetry. I was living overseas, struggling to navigate a job teaching English and a new life in a third-world country. Amidst the external and internal chaos, Saturdays were a reprieve. I’d mount my moped, drive to a nearby coffeehouse, and spend several hours reading and

In a recent article, Annie Holmquist maps out the twisting path leading eventually from liberalism to communism. She points to Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn’s 1978 Harvard Address in which he declared, “Liberalism was inevitably pushed aside by radicalism, radicalism had to surrender to socialism, and socialism could not stand up to communism.” To avoid this slide, she urges a

I’ve been working as a copywriter for several years now, so I’ve watched the conversation about AI in the workplace go from theoretical to practical concern. There’s real anxiety there.

In 2023, a group of individuals and organizations, with the most prominent at the time being psychologist, speaker, and writer Jordan Peterson, founded the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship (ARC).

My daughter has intensely blue eyes, bright, cerulean, sky, and turquoise all mixed and glittering in mesmerizing orbs. Life, light, and laughter shimmer there, along with the hints of her own kind of wisdom. Where did this depth come from? Where this character, this soul? She is both mine and not mine.

Hollywood can’t make a good movie anymore. This is partially because of its own preoccupation with wokeness, which comes at the expense of artful excellence, but it’s also partially a lack of storytelling genius. The only movies people get really excited to watch these days are smut (“Wuthering Heights,” “The Housemaid”), viral sensations (“It Ends

Recently I watched my two-and-a-half-year-old granddaughter at play. She toddled up and down the side porch, stopping to eat a bite of the apple slice her mother had given her, fingering some Play-Mobile figurines, pausing to gaze out across the small side yard.

I’m proud to be an American. I write those words because, somewhere along the way, to be a proud American felt more like a confession than a point of pride. In recent years, many Americans have been made to feel ashamed for being, well, American. As we mark 250 years of independence this July, it’s time to
