Consequences often don’t show for long periods of time, but when they finally do, they can be incredibly painful. For decades, our leaders have been making incredibly stupid decisions, and for decades, people like me have been complaining about them. But most people thought everything must be okay because the…
Headline in the Sunday editions of The New York Times: “A New Test for Israel: Can It Repair Its Ties to Americans?” What a question. Let us set aside our indignation and think about this. The piece below this head is by David Halbfinger, whose trade over…
Now that the curtain’s getting pulled back more and more on the January 6th setup… and yes, the infamous “Pipe Bomb” hoax that aged about as well as gas-station sushi, the bombshells are coming in fast and furious style. Most of us already knew J6 was less “insurrection” and…
Do you remember when protesters gathered in Washington to protest the stolen 2020 presidential election? The few, who were at the Capitol rather than at the Washington Monument where Trump was speaking, were labeled “insurrectionists” by Democrat liars and whore media.

Wars are windows opened onto history. It is striking to observe, for example, that the West behaves today with Russia as it behaved in the past toward Byzantium. Laurent Guyénot is not wrong in this regard to write that the “American-British geostrategy of the Great Game, which has aimed…
According to both the mainstream media and social media, the forces that will shape the future are 1) AI (i.e. technology’s impact on jobs and growth), 2) geopolitical competition for AI dominance, energy, resources, trade, military and financial power, and 3) finance, which includes cryptocurrencies, stablecoins, Modern Monetary Theory (MMT),…
The older I get, the more suspiciously I look at the causes of war. This is natural. Young people — especially young men — are incapable of properly evaluating risk. Though they are rebellious, they also follow orders from authority figures. There is a reason why eighteen-year-olds are sent over embankments to cross…
