The extreme version of a socialist system is for all property to be owned and controlled by the government. The extreme version of a libertarian system is for all property to […]
Another Congress, another debt limit showdown. It might seem there is nothing new under the sun. But something is different this time: In my conversations with members of Congress in recent weeks, conservatives repeatedly mentioned their willingness to tackle the thorny challenge of military spending reforms, in addition to the out-of-control non-defense spending conservatives typically […]

This sequel to a film many critics found risible in 1986 is a Best Picture Oscar nominee. How did that happen? The surprise hit of 2022 was Top Gun: Maverick, a man and machine heroic picture, sentimental and nostalgic, the sort of thing Hollywood just doesn’t do anymore. At first glance it seemed way too […]
