Daniel McCarthy NY Post, Mar. 12, 2023 “The capture of American higher education by students and administrators with a Maoist mentality has caused a great deal of soul-searching among moderates and conservatives.” A university president never enjoys being forced to apologize, especially to a conservative.

Ashley Rindsberg Tablet, Mar. 22, 2023 “SVB’s collapse, far from being an unforeseeable “black swan,” represented “a very classic event in the very classic bubble-bursting part of the short-term debt cycle.” It should go without saying that we are now in a financial crisis.

Paul Sperry NY Post, Mar. 17, 2023 “SVB’s board is packed with Trump-hating Hillary, Biden and Obama donors obsessed with “equity and diversity.” Wokeness has replaced competence and merit across the banking sector, and San Francisco Fed Chief Mary Daly is the poster child of this pernicious trend.

Jason Zweig WSJ, Mar. 17, 2023 “Even as rules have proliferated and bailouts multiplied, the U.S. stock market has suffered four crashes of least 20% since the year 2000.” Don’t panic.

Gerard Baker WSJ, Mar. 20, 2023 “The promulgation of the WMD fictions, the Abu Ghraib horrors, the catastrophically inept initial occupation and administration—all undid in a matter of months the post-Cold War authority and heft the U.S. had earned over decades.” Some of those who supported the invasion of Iraq 20 years ago this […]
