- June 29, 2022
Too many of our nation’s young men use guns for evil. One knee-jerk response is to restrict gun ownership. But this solution ignores the most important question: What drives these young men to murder? I’m personally all for trying to keep guns away from people with criminal records, mental illness, and histories of making violent threats.

The Cowardly American Corporation5
I no longer bubble with rage when a new outbreak of corporate wokeness erupts across our fruited plain. It’s just another day in the pathetic life of the Land of the Greedy and the Home of the Enslaved. To wit: this week’s parade of U.S. companies ostentatiously trumpeting “health care coverage” for employees who want

- June 28, 2022
If the push notifications on my computer are any indication, an alarming trend is unfolding before our eyes: young, seemingly healthy individuals are dropping like flies, dying suddenly.

The Child I Almost Had8
I sit down to write this as yet another person expresses support on social media for those talking about how the Supreme Court overturning Roe vs. Wade is a tragedy.

Nobody was better looking than anybody else. Nobody was stronger or quicker than anybody else. All this equality was due to the 211th, 212th, and

Out of the Mouth of Babes: The Unseen Abortion Fallout6
That day Julie decided they would eat lunch on the deck. She carried out a tray with peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, baby carrots, grapes, a cup of juice for Libby and a bottled water for herself, and put them on the picnic table. “There,” she said. “We won’t even need forks or spoons, and

WaPo Paints a Grim Picture of America’s ‘Abortion Deserts’ … or Not?0
As the world awaits the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision on Roe v. Wade, America’s media has been colouring in the details of an apocalyptic landscape without access to abortion. It’s terrifying, or, to be more precise, TERRIFYING. Article after article argues that poor women will be denied lifestyle choices, be sicker and sink even deeper

Extra! Extra! Boy Walks to School!0
A Michigan story getting a lot of attention for reasons you can probably figure out on your own is headlined: “10-year-old Grosse Pointe Park boy walked to school every day for 4 years. He plans to keep the streak going.” Yup. Real headline, real kid, real indication of all sorts of rather depressing things about

Keeping Children Safe Is the Most Dangerous Thing You Can Do0
When my three sons were young, they were all good at skateboarding. They built their own short ramps all over our property, but especially enjoyed the ramp a neighbor built in his barn. It was against the rules to go on this ramp alone; nevertheless, my 10-year-old went over there one day unnoticed, had a
