There are few places on Earth where you can arrive in the wrong city in the middle of the night and still find a nice hotel room and a hot meal in less than twenty minutes. India is one of them and much, much more. After well over 20 hours of travel, I arrived in India… Continue reading The magic of India, the world’s largest country and democracy, home of some of the world’s oldest languages
Teddy Roosevelt’s foreign policy was based on a fundamental contradiction. He believed in right and wrong, but understood that in the real world might all too frequently makes right whatever we may wish. The tension between the two during World War I and the potential outcomes that may arise serve as lessons for today. Teddy… Continue reading The essential paradox underlying Teddy Roosevelt’s foreign policy and lessons for the modern world
The Biden Administration announced new emissions regulations that require a full two thirds of vehicles sold in 2032 to be electric, nine short years from now. Does anyone seriously believe that we are going to simultaneously increase the number of electric models by a factor of seven, car production by close to 12, and charging… Continue reading In the future, you will no longer be going mobile
President Biden and the mainstream media can trumpet the supposed success of our intense diplomacy all they like, but Russia remains in Ukraine and has no plans to end the war anytime soon.

The President of the United States recklessly and dangerously unleashed F22 Raptors on three amateur balloons in as many days with no explanation. The Founders would’ve considered this an impeachable offense and a subordinate would likely face criminal charges under the Uniform Code of Military Justice. The Biden Administration and the media have rapidly moved… Continue reading Provocative opinion: Balloon-gate is an impeachable offense

It’s been over a week since the US military shot down an… Continue reading Bursting Biden’s Balloon
President Biden ultimately made the right call, shooting down the Chinese spy balloon over the Atlantic Ocean, but questions about the past and the future remain. Why wasn’t he informed for three days? Why was the prior administration never informed? What do we do about it now? Last week witnessed what might have been the… Continue reading Bursting China’s Balloon
The new year begins with the feeling that little was resolved last year. The topics that dominated the conversation from political polarization to the war in Ukraine continue apace without resolution. 2023 should finally begin to provide some answers domestically, internationally, and politically. Future historians might look back on 2022 and identify it as a… Continue reading 2023: A year of continued questions and some possible answers
A recent interview with 60 Minutes’ Scott Pelley serves as a masterclass in how not to communicate. Many of the questions were overwhelmingly obvious, but still the President was unclear, unfocused, and rambling, insulting the American people by denying what is happening before their very eyes. Even when he speaks with clarity and conviction, his… Continue reading Biden is the worst Presidential communicator in recent memory
Dr. Anthony Fauci, a lead proponent of lockdowns, now claims he never recommended any lockdowns while his colleague, Dr. Deborah Birx openly admits she engaged in “subterfuge” in the early days of the pandemic, deceiving President Trump and the American people for her own purposes. When will anyone pay a price for the biggest policy… Continue reading Coronavirus: Lies then, lies now, lies forever
