During my time at Southern Methodist University, I had the privilege of studying under Herbert Simon, the polymath whose work on decision theory shaped Cold War strategic thinking. Simon critiqued idealized rational actor models and emphasized prudence over ideology. That education remains urgently relevant today as voices in Washington…
In order to understand the magnitude of the position in which we find ourselves, we must first understand the magnitude of the deception and the machinery. We must look back at all of the components and contributing factors that may have seemed unrelated, but which we can see today…
My Dear Friends, It’s a hard time to be a liberal. I know, because I used to be one. Or rather, I still am one, but a true liberal, unlike the many fake liberals out there. Allow me to explain. Long ago, as an idealistic college student, I valued my high…

Are you old enough to remember when our government operated like a serious institution? Say what you want about our sketchy past, but at the very least, the USA government once projected strength, confidence, and some semblance of order. But fast-forward to today, and now we’ve got grown federal…
That would greatly complicate Russia’s goal of demilitarizing Ukraine and thus imperil the peace talks… The US and Ukraine finally signed their minerals deal after amending the draft agreement to remove a proposal for Ukraine to pay back past US military aid. A clause was added though whereby future US military aid,…
The New York Times runs a jaw-dropper: Elon Musk may be stepping back from running the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, but his legacy there is already secured.
