Nicholas Kristof is entirely unimportant. His laughable article claiming that Israel uses trained dogs to sexually assault Palestinian prisoners is clownish and will disappear without a trace, except for a small group of rabid Jew-haters who will dredge it up occasionally, even though it has been thoroughly debunked. He is a reliable leftist who has…

The prospect of an American Islamist winning the Democrat primary for a New Jersey congressional seat would have been unimaginable just a few years ago. 750 New Jersey residents died on September 11th, 2001, which in and of itself should have made Hamawy’s candidacy a punch line in every bar in New Jersey. But the…

“America First” isn’t just a tag line. It distills a very simple idea that has been lost for a very long time. In fact, it is best seen as a warning to the gaggle of politicians and pundits whose every waking hour is consumed by the notion of a new world order that supersedes the…

There is a vast difference between our allies in Eastern Europe, and the apathetic, post-modern, welfare-addicted haters of Western Europe. According to NATO, Poland spent 4.5% of GDP on defense in 2025, while the UK spent 2.3%, France spent 2.1%, Germany spent 2.0% and Spain spent 2.1%. That is huge gap, and signals a clear…

What has the vaunted United States Senate done for us lately? Remember, they are the self-described “greatest deliberative body on the planet!” They have done nothing. And the only substantive effort they have made has been to keep the Senate in pretend session to prevent a sitting president from recess appointments to the various administrative…

Gee, has anyone noticed that federal legislative districts are in the news? Well, we have been screwing with them for the last 184 years, when The Apportionment Act of 1842 was passed. Some states were still electing at-large representatives, some states had multiple member districts, and it was a bit of a mess. Some states…

Funny how governments obfuscate their financial decisions with high-minded platitudes about the social good and moving forward and building community. The Norwegian government decided to reopen those fields for one reason…tax receipts from the sale of that natural gas will be through the roof. And then they will be able to pay (for a little…

When supposedly conservative organizations reach a certain size, they begin that sad journey into wishy-washy bullsh*t language, so as not to attract the attention of the legal departments of their competition, or the libel attorneys working for the Democrat opposition. Of course there is a different interpretation, and that is they are protecting their carefully…

Several years ago I made the huge mistake of sending some money to one of the organizations that claim to be “Republican.” My usual method is to donate to a particular candidate, and avoid the bloated Republican Party apparatus. But in a moment of weakness and stupidity, I was bamboozled. Or maybe one of those…

The population of the countries comprising NATO is about 980 million people. If one subtracts the population of the United States, it is about 635 million people, or 1.8X the population of the United States. Yet the NATO countries spend far less per capita on their militaries (≈$975) than does the USA (≈$2,800), and far…
