The people of Iran made a huge mistake in 1978-1979. Their support for the Ayatollah Khomeini was catastrophic on many levels, especially since the country was meandering toward full modernity and entrance into the 1st World with the Shah in power. What they got for their efforts was a savage religious dictatorship that quickly consolidated…

The Trump administration and the United States military has begun the process of freeing Venezuela from the self-imposed grip of communist dictators. But the goal for us should not be to release Venezuelans from their bondage, but to stop the flow of drugs into America, end Venezuela’s interference in our domestic affairs, and stop the…

Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other. — John Adams He had an excellent point, and the collapse of recruiting for the United States military was indicative of a loss of moral clarity on the part of our government. So why…

We were promised forever wars by the bien pensants, and President Trump has disappointed us greatly. The surgical strike on Iran’s major nuclear facilities was a superb example of American technological superiority, logistics skill, intelligence capability, war planning, and above all, the marvel of the American military unleashed to do what they do better than…

How many times have we heard that the Mad Mullahs are teetering on the brink, and will be driven out of Iran by THE PEOPLE? And how many times have we been disappointed? Sure, Obama had a lot to do with the failure of The Green Movement in 2009, and his convenient $400,000,000 payoff to…

Inflation is a cold-hearted bitch. It steals our paychecks, and we will never recover the loss. Sure, compensation eventually catches up (mostly), but the gap between rising prices and rising wages is significant. And inflation destroys any possibility of planning for many companies. How do you budget for next year or next quarter if you…

Repeat after me: “We are not the world’s policeman.” To paraphrase Otto von Bismarck, “Ukraine is not worth the bones of a single United States Marine.” So the idea of some security agreement with Ukraine that mirrors NATO’s Article 5 is essentially allowing Ukraine into NATO without all of that pesky cooperation and standardization and…

The smug pomposity of Western Europe in the face of overwhelming data that show a rapidly collapsing culture and society is fascinating to behold. Birth rates among natives are far below replacement, church attendance has cratered, tax rates are onerous, crime is exploding, Churches are being burned or turned into mosques, free speech is now…

It’s so easy to blame the Democrat machine for this ridiculous outcome, but the reality is that it is the feckless, spineless, gutless, traitorous Republican leadership in the United States Senate that is holding up confirmations. The Democrats are doing what they always do…use every means at their disposal (fair or foul) and vote as…

[Hyde Park, December 2025] I spent a pleasant Friday evening at a restaurant in Canary Wharf, in the Docklands of London. Yes, those famous docks that were Hitler’s particular target. The area has been built up into a financial center that has become quite an impressive place. It’s far from the center of London, but…
