The increasing arc of instability running across Africa today resembles less a series of isolated crises than a single, widening belt of state collapse, insurgency, proxy war, and foreign intervention stretching from the Atlantic coast to the Red Sea. From Mali and...
Austrian economics gets its name not from a particular connection to the country in technical terms, but rather because it was born there in the 1870s from great minds such as Carl Menger, Eugen von Böhm-Bawerk, and Friedrich von Wieser. One generation later, another...
American political successions in recent years happen counterintuitively: implicit hand-offs between two nominally opposing sides. This strange reality is where we derive our notion of “the uniparty” and the media its notion of “partisanship.” Through the “partisan”...
As the U.S. and Israeli governments flirt with peace with Iran while preparing to unleash Armageddon, the struggles within the American Mainland continue to percolate. In March, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents were deployed at major U.S airports as...
The Trump administration maintains that the government of Iran can never be allowed to develop a nuclear bomb. The reason? Because the leaders of that land are allegedly lunatics. The primary concern appears to be that dissident factions sponsored by Iran—including...
Americans have been fed a comforting fairy tale about Islamic terrorism. Radical jihadists attack the West simply because they despise freedom, democracy, and the American way of life. This narrative flatters domestic audiences while conveniently obscuring a far more...
On an evening at the end of December 2025, a woman in Switzerland opened a grocery-delivery app on her phone. She filled a basket and typed in a delivery address in Brussels—a flat she had visited many times, whose owner could no longer leave Belgium and could no...
President Donald Trump’s recent two-day summit in Beijing with Chinese President Xi Jinping concluded much as anticipated. In an article written ahead of the trip, I noted that expectations for substantive breakthroughs in the fraught Sino-American relationship were...
Critics of the May 2026 summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and Xi Jinping, president of the People’s Republic of China (PRC), widely condemned the outcome as being long on pomp and ceremony but short on meaningful substantive results. They noted that most of...
If Thomas Massie were president, there would be no American involvement in the war in Iran. Rep. Massie (R-KY) introduced a bipartisan resolution barring “unauthorized hostilities” against Iran and said flatly that, “The ongoing war between Israel and Iran is not our...
Representative Thomas Massie (R-KY) is one of the good guys. In fact, he’s one of the very few members of Congress who believes what he says about limited government, individual freedom, and the U.S. Constitution. If you support these things, you’ll support Thomas...
Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-TX) tweeted on May 4, 2026: For nearly six decades the U.S. has voluntarily remained in the dark on Israel's nuclear capabilities. The ambiguity ends now. There is too much at stake to accept ignorance. We are at war alongside Israel against...
Advances in what is often depicted as AI (artifical inteligence) have been immense, from the clumsy animation of Will Smith gorging on spaghetti, to the photo realistic images of unreal personalities, to the short clips promising to change cinema. Social media has...
When Donald Trump ran for president in 2024, he promised, among other things, no more U.S. regime change wars, no more of America sending its citizens’ dollars to fund foreign nations, and that he and Elon Musk would drastically cut federal departments and overall...
“I saw also that there was an ocean of darkness and death, but an infinite ocean of light and love, which flowed over the ocean of darkness.”- George Fox, Journal (1647) While war chaos and carnage in the Middle East distract the American public from Jeffrey Epstein’s...
You don’t even have to turn on the financial news. You can tell whether oil prices will be up or down in the morning by simply reading the president’s midnight social media posts. If he announces confidence in the ceasefire with Iran, oil will be down in the morning....
When President Donald Trump arrived in Beijing yesterday for his summit with Xi Jinping, much of the American foreign policy establishment framed the meeting through the familiar lens of “great power competition.” Analysts will scrutinize every handshake, communiqué,...
Washington and Moscow both enthusiastically celebrated the victory of the Allied “Grand Alliance” over the fascist powers at the end of World War II. Since then, however, the two capitals have typically been on opposite sides of numerous nasty geostrategic struggles...
