Hitler’s Nazi regime is almost universally regarded as a fully evil enterprise, with only scattered and marginalized outcasts who deny the monstrosity of the Holocaust or claim that the doctrine of Aryan racial superiority is a positive good. The Soviet Union and its seven-decade run elicit less unanimity among those who would call its reign...
Can you imagine China, Russia, or Iran spending trillions of dollars to remove any fraction of the carbon dioxide they’re pumping into the air? When corporations — and people — misallocate capital, they tend to suffer. Of course, whether capital is misallocated is sometimes only fully understood after the fullness of time. The People’s Republic...
The No. 1 issue in America today is the crisis at the border with some 10 million illegal immigrants crossing into the nation since President Joe Biden reversed President Donald Trump’s border security policies on day one. In a speech that ran 67 minutes, a little short by modern standards and six minutes shorter than his speech last year,...
Green energy policies hold back the developing world, creating a gulf in energy consumption between the West and nations such as Kenya. In mid-December, United Nations delegates from around the world flew their private jets to Dubai to announce a deal to phase out the use of coal, oil, and natural gas to fight climate...
The current president and the once, and likely future president visited the U.S.-Mexico border today — but they said and saw very different things. President Joe Biden visited Brownsville, Texas near the Gulf Coast on Feb. 29, which is oddly appropriate, as Biden’s correct policy prescriptions are about as rare as leap days, a day...
Rush toward green energy consigns Kenyans to continued energy poverty while limiting economic advancement. President Joe Biden’s decree to end permitting for the construction of more liquified natural gas export facilities is clearly aimed at shoring up his support among the left as he heads into a difficult reelection campaign. The move makes Europe more...
In 2084, humanity had finally turned its back on burning the ancient remains of a bygone era, only to find itself shackled to the caprices of the sun and wind. In the year 2084, the world had reached an equilibrium of sorts — a strange, unbalanced balance that no one had aimed for but had...
Investment support services firm MSCI’s corporate leadership should be ashamed of continuing to shill for China. From June 28, 2022, to Feb. 8, 2024, two of China’s most well-known stock indices, the Shanghai Stock Exchange Index and Hong Kong’s Hang Sang Index, have lost 20 percent and 28 percent of their value, respectively. And this...
Biden’s policies in the region represent a restoration of Obama’s policies. American servicemembers are dead, Iran’s proxies killed them, and President Joe Biden’s weak policies are to blame. Iranian-backed militants operating out of Syria or Iraq finally hit their mark over the weekend, using drones to kill three U.S. servicemembers in Jordan while wounding 25 more. The...
He remains a complex figure in American history — a war hero, a president, a man of the people to some, and a villain to others. Andrew Jackson’s place on the $20 bill has about six years remaining until his image is scheduled to be replaced by Harriet Tubman, the pistol-packing Underground Railroad operator. Tubman’s bravery...
Central America could be hit hard if US sends back illegal immigrants because of Biden’s border chaos. President Joe Biden’s border crisis started even before he was sworn into office in January 2021, with illegal immigrants rushing the U.S.-Mexico border in anticipation of Biden’s promised lax border enforcement. And who could blame the would-be migrants?...
Do the mysterious removals of cabinet ministers and generals signal weakness? Paranoia? Or something else? Several high-profile purges are said to have happened in China over the past few months.
