One of the arguments that has been leveled at our military operations (undeclared wars) in various nations is that the aftermath requires “nation-building” – and that America is not good at nation-building.  In truth, the United States is great at nation-building. But first, we need to understand what the term means — or should mean. The common understanding of nation-building is for the United States to be the primary force in transforming nations to a more positive role in the world community – with emphasis on the expansion of democratic…

US Navy officials this weekend seized a massive cache of weapons part of an Iranian arms shipment. It was hidden aboard a stateless vessel in the North Arabian Sea. Sailors from the USS Monterey discovered the cache during a routine flag verification. “The US Navy conducts routine patrols in the region to ensure the free flow of commerce for legitimate traffic, disrupt the transport of illicit cargo that often funds terrorism and unlawful activity, and safeguard the rules-based international order,” said the Fifth Fleet in a statement. Officials believe the…

In the years since Andrew Breitbart declared “politics is downstream from culture,” something unexpected occurred to a large swath of America’s population: they have been banished from culture. Positive opinions on government health care, increased immigration, increased NATO involvement, public schooling, implicit racism, and increased welfare spending – once debated in arenas of public thought – now find themselves in the sanctified air religious tenets enjoy in friendly ethnostates. They are the bedrock in which all dialogue within the social sciences rests, the ideals of the bloviating elite our youth…

As inflation hits markets across the globe from computer chips to steel, lumber and food, the cryptocurrency craze is no exception. Investor speculation on digital currencies are showing signs of fear that we may be facing a massive bubble that could burst at any time. This week, according to an article from futurism.com, cryptocurrencies have hit an all time high valuation of 2.25 trillion dollars. That alone surpasses the total amount of all U.S. print dollars and hard coin currency in circulation across the entire globe combined. U.S. dollars amount…

One of the facts of politics is that people will surrender freedom for safety.  That is why fear is a major driving force in politics.  That is why politicians concoct crises where there are none – or cling to fearmongering long after the crisis has subsided. The key to success in getting people to surrender freedom is to propagate the sense of crisis. And then convince the public that you are the only person – or political party – that can save them.  Of course, it will require the transfer…

Senator Josh Hawley’s just-published The Tyranny of Big Tech (Regnery, 2021) raises important issues. Hawley asks, for example, Do Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube censor views that that their managers do not like? It seems clear that the answer is yes. Many people who have tried to post Facebook comments that criticize the “official” line on covid-19 have had their posts removed and have been sentenced to “Facebook Jail.” YouTube removed a popular video by Tom Woods that argues lockdowns and masks are ineffective. What, if anything, should be done about…

As American society is working towards reestablishing its sense of normality from the Covid 19 pandemic, citizens are seeing price jumps on everyday materials across the landscape of global production from cars and computers to lumber and food. When consumer demand continues to increase with record backlogs of supply, inflation risks intensify across the market. Semiconductors, steel, lumber, cotton, housing, computers, cars and certain foods are all amongst the industries experiencing the most production difficulty. According to a JPMorgan Chase report, global manufacturing output prices are at the highest levels…

Unless you are a fan of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” you may not know Roger Altman.  He has recently come out of the shadows of oblivion to serve as a spokesperson for one of the left’s latest political narratives – that the business community is breaking with the Republican Party.  It is one of those situations in which the left-leaning media offers a specious opinion in the hope that the mere allegation will make it happen. They are trying to create the schism by reporting it as fact – hoping others…

In a letter to Amazon this week, a group of Republican U.S. senators demanded to know why the retail giant suddenly removed a book by political philosopher Ryan Anderson. The book, “When Harry Became Sally: Responding to the Transgender Movement,” scrutinizes the prevailing transgender orthodoxy we see pouring out of leftist activism, the LGBT movement, the mainstream media, and, increasingly, modern healthcare institutions. Responding to this clear case of partisan censorship, Sen. Marco Rubio and three of his GOP colleagues fired off a letter to Amazon demanding answers. “We write…

The House of Representatives on Thursday voted along party lines to establish Washington, DC as the 51st state. The areas surrounding the National Mall, White House, and Capitol Hill would remain a federal district. The remainder of DC would be granted statehood and be known as the State of Washington, Douglass Commonwealth (named after Frederick Douglass). Democrats claim the push for statehood is in the best interest of the area’s residents. But in reality, it has nothing to do with these folks and everything to do with power. Washington is…
