Beggar websites, I call them, exist by hounding the reader for constant donations. These sites are clogged with off-the-mark advertising promoting themes such as plastic surgery run amok (you know, the sausage-sized-lip thing), scantily clad women, and the latest roster of top 10 hottest one thing or another. Debbie and I fund richardcyoung.com in the […]
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 […]
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.

Are You Prepared for the New Money Crisis?
Crisis at Vanguard Dear Friend, Hard as it is for me to believe, a massive hoard of over $600 billion (yes, with a B) is clogging Vanguard’s Total Stock Market Index Fund like a grease-trapped drain.

Founding editor of The American Conservative and author of Ex-Neocon: Dispatches From the Post-9/11 Ideological Wars, Scott McConnell explains to readers that violence should now be expected in France as radical leftists have joined the riots there, using the cover of the Gilet Jaunes (Yellow Vests) protests to loot and destroy private property.

I wrote: Your Focus: Dividends & Interest In this issue, I re-emphasize why I think conservative investors must focus laser-like on fixed-income interest and dividends from common stocks. No matter what […]
Robert W. Merry–a Wake Up Call for President Trump
America cannot stand another anti-capitalist, progressive administration in Washington. It is for this reason I am loathe to post this stinging rebuke of Trump from the most erudite Robert W. Merry. In the final evaluation, I found nothing to quibble about with Mr. Merry’s analysis. As such I hope that joining Bob Merry in prodding […]
Progressives Turn Their Guns on the Supreme Court
At The Federalist, Ryan Fazio explains how the Supreme Court, now solidly in conservative hands, is the arbiter constitutional interpretation. The political left is attacking the court’s legitimacy because it has no other avenue to do so. Fazio warns though that one “ill-advised alteration” to the constitution could upend everything.
