At his blog, Pat Buchanan wonders if the liberal hour in the West is over. With nationalism ascendant in many areas of the globe, it may be a good time to question the viability of the liberal world order.

Joe Biden and Influence Peddling
Do you remember when Joe Biden first ran for president? It was 1988. Yes, more than three decades ago. With the caveat that much can change between now and November 2020, Roger Kimball discusses why Joe Biden is an intermittent glimmer – an ignis fatuus – over The Swamp that surprises everyone and then disappears.

Radical Democrats are Terrifying Americans. They’re Running to the NRA for Protection
NRA dues jumped in 2018 as Americans, terrified of extreme proposals of the radical Democrats elected to the House of Representatives, joined the civil rights organization. Many more sent donations, driving total NRA revenue to over $412 million last year. The Washington Free Beacon reports: The National Rifle Association of America and its associated groups […]
What is Wrong with Robert Mueller?
By all accounts, Robert Mueller is a very intelligent man, with a clear mind.

Without Comey, No Mueller Investigation
Special Counsel Robert Mueller and former FBI Director James Comey’s long-standing relationship should have disqualified Mueller from overseeing an investigation into President Trump. Comey has been a fierce critic of the President, reports Julie Kelly in American Greatness. Without Comey, who helped fabricate the Trump-Russia collusion narrative in 2016, “there wouldn’t have been a Mueller […]
GE Stokes the Yellow Vest Fire
In Paris recently, I saw the sad but determined looks on the faces of the Yellow Vest protesters. They are angry about France’s decreasing competitiveness, and that their jobs are being threatened or eliminated. Every Saturday for months now they have assembled in France’s cities to mark their discontent, and they have received little in […]
