My translation from the German of part of a recent interview with Marine Le Pen, whose anti-EU party Front National is trending to become the most popular in France, follows. This trend bodes ill for the EU but well for the French people. The issue is sovereignty — the right of a people to determine […]
American Enterprise Institute’s International Center on Housing Risk has assembled of a bibliography of historically significant valuation and mortgage risk books and documents from the first half of the 20th century. The oldest book (1903) is Richard Hurd’s Principles of City Land Values. This book is widely considered to be the first United States’ treatise on city (non-farm) land values. A few […]
On April 21, 2014, the Gates-funded data warehouse inBloom publicized that it was shutting down. The New York Times called it a “setback for the nearly $8 billion prekindergarten through 12th-grade education technology software market.” InBloom CEO Iwan Streichenberger calls it “a real missed opportunity for teachers and school districts seeking to improve student learning.” I’m sorry, but making […]
Jon Huntsman wrote an oped article in the New York Times titled “The G.O.P Can’t Ignore Climate Change.” He is a very bright, successful individual but he doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Climate Change is now the new expression. It used to be Global Warming, but Climate Change affords flexibility in blaming both heating and […]
Nigel Farage, head of Britain’s UKIP, has flatly rejected an alliance with France’s Front National. While granting FN president Marine Le Pen’s courage and perspicacity on some crucial issues, Farage says she has failed to rid the party of its endemic anti-Semitism. Coupled with an earlier decision announced by Søren Espersen of the Danish People’s […]

REMARKS TO THE COMMONWEALTH CLUB by Michael Crichton – San Francisco – September 15, 2003 I have been asked to talk about what I consider the most important challenge facing mankind, and I have a fundamental answer. The greatest challenge facing mankind is the challenge of distinguishing reality from fantasy, truth from propaganda. Perceiving the […]
The Boston City Council is proposing to require city employee health insurance to pay for sex-change operations and other “transgender” treatments. On Wednesday, April 16, two members of the Boston City Council introduced an ordinance to require that health insurance for city employees cover “transgender” sex-change procedures, including hormone treatments and “gender reassignment” surgery. This is the […]
Twentieth-century philosopher and mathematician Alfred North Whitehead defined western philosophy as “footnotes to Plato.” Similarly, sexology can be defined as “footnotes to Alfred Kinsey,” whose psychopathologies are writ large in the hetero and homosexual child-abuse epidemic that is touching every corner of the world, particularly in academic settings. My own academic case study illustrates the […]
The Nobel Prize-winning economist, Milton Friedman, once said, “Sloth and lack of enterprise flourish when hard work and the taking of risks are not rewarded.” While I believe this statement to be true, I am grateful it has never characterized the American spirit. Hard work and risk taking are precisely what built our great nation, […]
If Masood Farivar had been a former member of the Ku Klux Klan, would the Voice of America have hired him? If he were calling for members of the Aryan Nations to be “reintegrated” into Western society, would the New York Times have given him a platform? Islamic jihadists are no less violent, ruthless, and […]
If a famine befell us and you couldn’t save everyone, would you withhold the food you had and let every citizen starve rather than endure the inequality of just saving some? If recent history is any guide, certain leftists just might say yes. A good example of this phenomenon involved a multiple sclerosis patient in […]
Ever since the creation in 1988 of the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), it has engaged in the greatest hoax of modern times, releasing reports that predict climate-related catastrophes as if the climate has not been a completely natural and dynamic producer of events that affect our lives. The IPCC was set up […]
Having begun my career as a lobbyist under the dome of the state capitol in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, I know a thing or two about political corruption in the Keystone State and the City of Brotherly Love… I’ve seen it “up close and personal.” So it came as no surprise when the Philadelphia Inquirer published a […]
Today’s sex ed curricula are based on the widely-accepted teachings of depraved human beings. Once upon a time, sex education was a simple biology lesson. Students learned the facts of life, and, with those facts, that sex is part of something bigger, called marriage. Teachers explained that this was the moral and healthy way to […]
