History moves slowly, then all at once. With that in mind, I am withholding judgment on what the heck is going on in North Korea, other than to note that it could be big, or it could be not much at all. For the geopolitical phrenologists among you, here is the text of the Panmunjom […]

Out of Work? No Problem. Trim Hedges for Uncle Sam
In case you haven’t read, Bernie Sanders is proposing jobs for anyone out of work. That’s right, if you are a displaced factory worker, for example, Bernie wants you to make $15 an hour cleaning up park trails for your municipal government, writes Scott Shackford in Reason. What, you say, that sounds like something an […]
Your Retirement Life: Live like a Billionaire Here
You don’t have to be a billionaire to live like one. In Montana, there are billionaires who own ranches that seem like they’re the size of Rhode Island, but they don’t have a monopoly on: camping, hiking, bike riding, kayaking, fishing or skiing.

France’s Macron’s Wrong Track Before Congress

In both the Nikolas Cruz (Parkland) and Travis Reinking (Waffle House) shootings, the ready explanation is that the authorities “dropped the ball.” Well James Shaw, the man who stopped Reinking, picked up the ball and pushed back hard.

Trump Forces a Korea Breakthrough
After decades of stalemate, North and South Korea seem closer to declaring an end to the stalled Korean War than ever before.

The Keys were hit particularly hard by Hurricane Irma, and now it looks like thousands who weathered Irma may be evacuated from the chain of islands.

The U.S. is “in the most aggressive EW [electronic warfare] environments on the planet,” says U.S. Army General Raymond Thomas at GEOINT 2018. In Syria, Russia continues to fine tune and develop a total package of EW Systems, and like Ukraine, Moscow is using Syria as a test bed to perfect EW systems. Some EW […]
