ROGUE NATION REPORT: Many Europeans consider America more dangerous than China, Politico reports. The US is perceived as a threat by a significant portion of people in six leading European nations, a new opinion poll suggests. In Spain, an outright majority holds this view. Politico, which commissioned the survey,…
Could the people of Kentucky end up with a Governor Thomas Massie? The Republican representative attended a forum at the University of Louisville on April 6, where an attendee asked if he’d ever consider taking up residence in Frankfort. This wasn’t the first time he’d been asked this question. “I…
Review of Sports Illustrated, December 4, 1967 issue. Those who experienced living in the U.S. in the 1960s know that mainstream sources of information were very limited then. We walked across the room to change the TV channel, and our choices pretty much consisted of the local CBS, ABC…
Trump and Israel will make sure the war against Iran continues. During my most recent appearance on Judge Napolitano’s Judging Freedom on Wednesday I expressed the view that the ongoing ceasefire between Washington and Tehran was a scam designed to support Israeli interests in the region and to give both Tel…
The United States did not begin as an empire. The early American vision, articulated by figures like Thomas Paine and John Quincy Adams, emphasized restraint.

The Fed is likely thinking bailout or backstop for private credit, while banks look to monetize its demise. I’ve been saying this for months: despite “experts” just sounding the alarm moments ago: the private credit unwind that started months ago and has now spiraled into a very real liability for…
Most people assume a DUI charge means the person was drunk or high as a kite. The laws on the books are supposed to protect the public from drunken, reckless drivers, not drag sober people into jail because some cop had a hunch when a roadside test went sideways.

The temporary cessation of hostilities across West Asia very much hangs in the balance. Originally, there was to be a cessation of military actions across “all fronts” including Lebanon — that being one of the ten Iranian preconditions to negotiations towards a permanent ceasefire. Trump duly affirmed that Iran’s 10-point…
