The Spotlight
A personal reflection on why we shouldn’t abandon the faith that has nourished Western civilization
State and federal policies have deepened California’s most pressing environmental challenges.
Misguided policies draw people into California’s fire-prone regions.
The state’s horrific wildfires are a reminder that abstract progressive ideologies impose life-and-death consequences on millions.
Saddled with heavy losses and stifled by a government-controlled system, insurance firms are pulling out of the state or reducing their underwriting.
Rotherham’s child sexual assaults remain shocking—but far from unique.
America’s crime policies and soft border are enabling its enemies.
The assassination of Brian Thompson does not call for a “conversation” about health care—it calls for a reckoning with Americans’ moral breakdown.
The Biden administration should adopt a strong stance against all political violence—including the anti-Semitic mayhem on college campuses.

America is on the verge of a new space age—if apathy doesn’t kill it.
How did college football become indistinguishable from professional sports? Gradually, and then suddenly.
An innovative program combines reading the Great Books with character-building and community.
