The world’s only one man media empire
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
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?
Last year, I proposed the Trump Test, that is imagine your reaction if Trump was the President instead of Biden, and Trump was the one insulting reporters, tacitly granting permission for Russia to invade Ukraine, and claiming he was “outperforming” expectations in the midst of constant crises. The media had a term for this. They… Continue reading President Biden is unhinged, or at least that’s what the media would be saying were he President Trump
The President’s approval rating is at the bottom of the spectrum for the modern era. More people identify as Republicans than at any time since 1995, and the country is beset by challenges and crises from all sides. For a man that promised a return to normalcy, we’ve seen nothing like it. Of course, it’s… Continue reading Did President Biden just have the worst first year in modern history?
Vaccine mandates and the fight for freedom, Critical Race Theory, transgender sports, the continuing crime wave, Russia, China, and inflation all made headlines this year, but are likely to continue as hot topics with long reaching consequences into 2022 and beyond. No one knows the future, but each of these topics might change the world.… Continue reading 2022: Five things to watch for next year
As Russian troops mass on the Ukrainian border in advance of an expected invasion next year, President Biden believes economic sanctions alone can deter the threat, but Europe is so heavily dependent on Russian oil it’s difficult to see how that would be effective. In the meantime, China is threatening Taiwan and strengthening ties to… Continue reading The Russia problem is really a China problem, and there is no easy fix after decades of failure
Will we get our people and allies out safely? What did Biden know and when did he know it? How could our intelligence be so bad? Why did we do nothing while the Taliban marched through the country? What becomes of Afghanistan? How do our enemies and adversaries react? Momentous events like the Taliban’s swift… Continue reading Afghanistan Fallout: The six biggest questions in the days ahead
CNN suddenly discovers that being President is hard and likely to get harder. Who knew? Unfortunately for Americans, President Biden is suffering from an array of largely self-inflicted wounds, from the border to international relations. The solution is simple: Govern how he promised on the campaign and stop pretending to be some radical progressive.… Continue reading Poor, poor, pitiful Biden?
Slipping on the stairs is no big deal, but real stumbles across staffing, foreign policy, and the border that are of much bigger concern. Of course, the media’s reaction to Biden’s stumble is illustrative of the radical difference in coverage we’ve seen between the current and former President. In other words, has anyone called for… Continue reading Biden stumbles, literally and figuratively, face first into Putin
Sometimes, the best defense is a good offense, but we apparently have neither despite years of attacks and billions of dollars in defense, so we’ll just blame Russia and move on In October 2019, a (presumed to be) Russian actor, possibly part of the Russian government, compromised a Texas-based company’s network and systems monitoring software… Continue reading The absurd futility of our cybersecurity strategy
