Javier Milei’s Gift for Pope Leo A

Principles of Government · September 6, 2025 ·

By Andy Kessler – Anything that interferes with markets and price discovery is dangerous. Unions distort prices. Student loans—and the policy of forgiving them—distort prices. So do quotas, subsidies, green policies and ethanol requirements. Even lockdowns and stimulus checks. Taxes, especially capital-gains taxes, distort the cost of capital. Redistribution is the ultimate market manipulation. And tariffs, which are taxes, distort prices, jobs and currencies. Read More

The Scholar Who Saw Zohran Mamdani Coming in 2003

Principles of Government · August 30, 2025 ·

Mr. Kors lamented that socialism had yet to be held accountable for the scale of its crimes: “No cause, ever, in the history of all mankind, has produced more cold-blooded tyrants, more slaughtered innocents and more orphans than socialism with power.” The failure to acknowledge and come to terms with this reality in the West, he believed, eventually would allow socialism to resuscitate itself, even with millions of skeletons hiding in plain view.

Critical Race Theory Is an Inversion of History

By John Ellis - Jan. 5, 2025

Principles of Government · August 30, 2025 ·

By John Ellis – The Biden administration had quietly implemented policies throughout the federal government based on this theory, and it is being taught in colleges and schools throughout the country. It has overrun much of the corporate world, and it has even secured a place in the training of many professions. The accusations made in closed training sessions are astonishingly venomous: Arrogant white supremacy is ubiquitous; white rage results when that supremacy is challenged; whites hold money and power because they stole it from other races; systemic racism and capitalism keep the injustices going.

DEI Drives Campus Antisemitism A

By Heather Mac Donald - Dec. 6, 2023

Principles of Government · August 30, 2023 ·

By Heather McDonald – The real issue on campuses isn’t antisemitism but the anti-Western ethos that has colonized large swaths of the curriculum. Elite schools once disdained Jews because they were seen as outsiders to Western civilization. Now they are reviled as that civilization’s very embodiment. Students explain that their hatreds come from what they learn in class—that the West is built on white supremacism and oppression. Israel is cast as the Western settler-colonialist oppressor par excellence. Read More

The Public Needs Campus Viewpoint Diversity A

By John Ellis June 16, 2025

Principles of Government · August 29, 2025 ·

By John Ellis – … shutting down woke programs goes only so far; it limits what bad actors in academia can do, but it leaves those bad actors in place.

Without broader staffing reforms, radical left-wing professors will still control higher education. Several states are trying to dictate what professors should and shouldn’t teach, but these efforts similarly don’t reach the core of academia’s sickness—the political monopoly that guarantees its continued malignancy.
