Three years ago today, Russia invaded Ukraine. As we now stagger towards a possible negotiated end to the conflict –or at least a pause to rearm– the world around us is vastly changed even if some politicians and many in markets still don’t fully grasp just how much. Inflation was supposed…

Gamergate Won, Except in Video Games
You can make a case that contemporary politics is downstream from Gamergate. If you think that is too strong a claim, back in 2014, I said that Gamergate showed that what we thought of as organic developments in a niche industry — which games were considered good, which developers…
Death, Taxes, and the Common Cold
The Left loves to lecture us about climate denialism and election denialism, but I am here to report on a far worse flight from reality: common cold denialism. Happily, in the household in which I grew up, mild upper respiratory illnesses were not regular occurrences, but our family-wide refusal…
One of Biden Regime’s Darkest ‘Ukraine War’ Secrets Was Just Revealed
Ukraine is back in the spotlight—and for once, it’s not because we’re laundering another $300 billion. This time it’s because President Trump has finally cut off Zelensky’s gravy train and called for peace—something the Biden regime should’ve done long ago but refused. However, there’s a bigger, darker twist to this…
Newer World Order? Is Trump’s U.S. Now Closer to Russia Than ‘Soviet’ Europe?
It was more than a decade ago now that I wrote about “Soviet Sweden.” The focus was that nation’s suicidal multicultural and immigrationist policies and suppression of free speech. Even if Sweden then “led” its continent in this regard, however, all of Western Europe exhibited the…
Trump is the Only Western Statesman Who Wants Peace
Over the last quarter of a century, the West has become a really weird place in which virtue signaling has almost completely replaced actual virtue in the public forum, and the most brutal sentimentality has largely replaced genuine feeling. For years in the West, we have been strangely bereft…

In reality, they could care less about the…
Could the U.S. Military’s Recruitment Problem Be a Good Thing?
Is it possible that collective humanity is actually turning against war – seeing it more as the primary problem than the solution to our global ills? Some experts worry that, if the country went to war, many reserve units might be unable to deploy. A U.S. official who works…
1,500 FBI Agents Banished from Washington
Dear Kash, I read that you are sending 1,500 FBI bad apples from DC into the states. Please keep them out of red states. Perhaps you are hoping they will resign. Otherwise it is a bad idea. The FBI are the Democrats’ secret police. They frame red state politicians, sheriffs, and attorneys…
Trump is Unlikely to Pull All U.S. Troops Out of Central Europe or Abandon NATO’s Article 5
The era of Europe freeloading off of the US and its liberal-globalists manipulating it into doing their geopolitical bidding against Russia might soon end to the benefit of peace-loving people and businessmen on all three sides. Germany’s Bild cited unnamed members of Western security services to sensationally report that Trump…
