Exposing Kids to Ideas Outside of Liberal Orthodoxy
Diversity is the battle cry of progressives, who seemingly obsess over sex, race and sexual orientation. In the WSJ, Dave Seminara presents a list on display at Barnes & Noble on “Inspiring Books to Empower Young Readers.” “First Generation: 36 Trailblazing Immigrants and Refugees Who Make America Great,” which lionizes, among others, Univision anchorman Jorge […]
Good Riddance to the Neocons’ Weekly Standard
Scott McConnell, writing in The American Conservative, eulogizes The Weekly Standard for what it was, a neocon rag that helped spur America into the costly and futile war in Iraq, and before its recent demise was attempting to do the same with Iran. He writes (abridged): If the Iraq war was sold to the American […]
Can Europe Preserve its Own Identity in the Face of Immigration?
At The American Conservative, Rod Dreher reviews The Strange Death of Europe, written by Douglas Murray.

Vanguard GNMA and a Winter of Political Polarization
Anyone who tells you politics has nothing to do with investing is simply not paying attention. In this winter of political polarization—a deep freeze—politics matter. Case in point. Look at Vanguard GNMA. For most of 2018, Vanguard GNMA has been sledding from a peak of $10.45 in January. Guess when the trough, or bottom was […]

Donald Trump Buries William Kristol’s The Weekly Standard
The print-media home of the neocon movement in the Republican Party, The Weekly Standard, is closing up shop. The magazine’s founding editor, Bill Kristol, is probably America’s best known and most ardent neoconservative (though there is certainly plenty of competition). But after the magazine’s editors took an explicitly anti-Trump stance, its Republican readers fled. Jeffrey […]
What if Donald Trump Has Had Enough?
A conversation with a high-ranking Republican who himself had been considered a possible president, from Peggy Noonan in the WSJ: He speculated aloud on a hunch he’s had that Mr. Trump might not run for re-election. Think of it, he said. Unrelenting bad news is likely coming—final findings from Mr. Mueller, a new and hungry […]

“The M17 and M18 pistols are manufactured by Sig Sauer, who earned the $580 million contract to produce the weapons in January of this year,” writes Kris Osborn at the National Interest. “The new pistol is built with a more ergonomic configuration to better accommodate the widest possible range of hand grip techniques for soldiers […]
Saudi Government a Liability to the U.S.
At The American Conservative, Daniel Larison plainly states what is well-known to nearly all Americans outside the Washington D.C. bubble, the Saudis are a liability to the United States. He writes (abridged): Outgoing U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley unwittingly summed up the stupidity of the Trump administration’s embrace of Saudi Arabia in a recent interview: “What I can […]
