As published in American Thinker on December 14th. I woke up this morning and turned on Fox for my regular morning update on what's going on around the world. Today, I was feted to not one outrage, but two; the Brown University and the Bondi Beach massacres. It's...

The COVID era exposed and significantly accelerated a long-term institutional timidity that, combined with weak legislative processes, has increased the appeal of centralized, personality-driven leadership—an outcome that carries both political risks and governance...
