William Smith, writing at The American Conservative, explains to readers Henry Kissinger’s view of what is necessary for a balanced world; enlightened statesmen and restraint.

Trump Powers America
Workers of America Rejoice! You have a new hero, a new leader to promote, support and celebrate YOU! Your great admirer is a highly successful, risk-taking throwback to the old days of “Real America.” Donald Trump promised you during his presidential campaign that he was “all in” for you! President Trump championed you and “America […]
Donald Trump–Leading America’s Great Comeback
The New York Times is speechless? Well, yes, by its own admission it is. A recent NYT’s headline declared: “We Ran Out of Words to Describe How Good the Jobs Numbers Are.” From the article: The real question in analyzing the May jobs numbers released Friday is whether there are enough synonyms for “good” in an online […]
Mossberg 590M Review
Nice review of the Mossberg 590M by Clay Martin at GunsAmerica: In the United States we treat our pump shotguns like we do trucks, as in we tend to stay brand loyal. And we tend to fall into two camps on this one, the Remington 870 and the Mossberg 590. Both sides are equally fanatical, […]
“The Real Crisis of Black America”
Writing at The American Conservative, Pat Buchanan wonders why Roseanne Barr’s recent tweet, though “Offensive, juvenile, [and] crude,” has been given so much attention, while what he calls “the real crisis of black America,” goes relatively unnoticed.

Rep. Gowdy, Senator Rubio and General Clapper claim that the Justice Department and the […]
Work, Live and Save Money in these Three Power States
My take-away from this excellent piece by Joel Kotkin is that keeping more of your money matters. In other words, state taxes matter. Look at the magnetic pulling power of the three power states in the sun belt with no income taxes: Texas, Tennessee, and Florida. It turns out state lines can be re-drawn with […]
Lebron James is the GOAT
Proof that Lebron James is the GOAT? Look no further than last night’s personal-postseason-best 51 points in 48 minutes. Even though his dominant performance wasn’t enough—a reversed call, a free throw miss and a JR Smith gaffe lead to a Cavs loss—the case for Lebron as the GOAT is hard to refute especially when you […]
Will You be Ready When the Lights Go Out?
Originally posted on April 2, 2018. A recent Congressional Research Service report warns that since 2014 “security risks to the power grid have become an even greater concern in the electric utility industry.” The report cautions that the power industry “has not necessarily reached the level of physical security needed based on the sector’s own […]
