“We can’t repair Syria—and it’s not our job to do it.” That’s what a senior officer told Mark Perry, a contributing editor at The American Conservative.

The benefits will accrue almost immediately, with America’s Air Force and other […]

Can You Afford a 50% Loss?
Can You Afford a 50% Loss? That’s the question I asked readers in March 2014. I wrote: Can You Afford a 50% Loss? It’s impossible to have it all ways.

Can the Recent Obamacare Strike Down Stick?
Obamacare has been on the ropes before, and then saved at the last minute, most notably by Chief Justice John Roberts.

This seems […]

Lack of assimilation of third world immigrants, the demographic challenges posed by a shrinking native population, and globalization feature in his analysis.
