Europe hasn’t seen a war like this in over 80 years, but so far the response from the United States and the rest of the world has lacked any coherent strategy as we impose sanctions for the sake of sanctions and search for a “free lunch” approach that both maximizes and minimizes economic pain. In… Continue reading Ukraine: Our response to the Russian invasion is incoherent and confused, but the bravery of the Ukrainian people themselves could be the deciding factor

Ukraine reveals the sad impotency of the international establishment
The establishment is obsessed with meaningless words and “constructive dialogue,” but all Vladimir Putin cares about is power. We’ve wasted decades talking about containing Russian aggression while increasing Russian power by granting them access to European energy markets. Words will not change this dynamic, only the application of power in the form of US energy… Continue reading Ukraine reveals the sad impotency of the international establishment
Parents across the country are on the march, fighting pandemic restrictions and CRT even in liberal enclaves like San Francisco
Three School Board Members were ousted by huge margins in a never before seen recall for keeping schools closed while pursuing woke policies. We can expect more of the same across the country if progressives continue to insist radical ideology belongs in the classroom, but parents do not, pushing the narrative that America is irredeemably… Continue reading Parents across the country are on the march, fighting pandemic restrictions and CRT even in liberal enclaves like San Francisco
Russian Collusion: The Durham investigation continues apace and the media continues to deny the reality of Hillary Clinton’s role
Last week, the Special Counsel released another round of indictments which the media dutifully ignored and then promptly pretended didn’t mean anything, but one thing is clear: The Clinton campaign was behind the hoax the entire time, funneling false reports to an incredibly naïve and corrupt FBI and the media including the original Steele Dossier,… Continue reading Russian Collusion: The Durham investigation continues apace and the media continues to deny the reality of Hillary Clinton’s role
Ukraine: Why are we hyping up an invasion we can do nothing about?
President Teddy Roosevelt once said, “speak softly and carry a big stick.” This is the exact opposite: We have no stick at all, and yet we’re carrying on as if we had a baseball bat. So long as Europe is dependent on Russian energy, Russia will do what it wants in Eastern Europe. We should… Continue reading Ukraine: Why are we hyping up an invasion we can do nothing about?
Canadian Truckers: This is the people’s lockdown and the elites can’t stand it
Some of the same government officials in the United States and Canada who shut down businesses and closed borders for years by executive edict, putting tens of thousands out of work, are decrying the negative impact of a peoples’ blockade of the Ambassador Bridge and even threatening their children. Last week, the Freedom Convoy 2022… Continue reading Canadian Truckers: This is the people’s lockdown and the elites can’t stand it
No, unaccountable government agencies aren’t “democracy in action”
Some progressives are openly claiming all power resides with federal agencies, and your power is limited to voicing your opinion. They say they care deeply about democratic norms and assaults on democracy, while they assault every norm there is and redefine democracy at a whim, outright proposing technocratic authoritarianism and calling it democracy. Recent Supreme… Continue reading No, unaccountable government agencies aren’t “democracy in action”
AOC is deeply confused about capitalism, socialism, and just about everything else
The progressive firebrand defines capitalism in a way no one actually believes in the 21st century, if ever. Next, she confuses government power with corporate power, and finally she calls for “alternative ways of doing businesses” which have already been a part of capitalism for generations before demanding even more government control. “I believe that… Continue reading AOC is deeply confused about capitalism, socialism, and just about everything else
Joe Rogan, Whoopi Goldberg, the Canadian Truckers, and free speech
Jon Stewart and Bill Maher defend free speech for fellow celebrities, but I can’t help wondering if they are speaking up more in sympathy than in support of free speech as a universal principle when few if any are concerned about the truckers in Canada protesting cross-border vaccine mandates under the name Freedom Convoy 2022.… Continue reading Joe Rogan, Whoopi Goldberg, the Canadian Truckers, and free speech
Progressives versus liberals, the battle begins, and the fate of America might hang in the balance
Bill Maher is the latest liberal to start taking aim at the left instead of the right. Normally, this might be nothing more than an interesting squabble between two factions of the left and the far left, but the principles underlying the battleground are far too essential and the stakes far too high to simply… Continue reading Progressives versus liberals, the battle begins, and the fate of America might hang in the balance
