Cole Stangler, a Paris based journalist, explains to readers of The Nation, that the so-called Gilets jaunes, or Yellow Vest movement in France has caught every political party by surprise. It is a shock that Macon has landed himself in such a mess, after promising to maintain a business friendly agenda while campaigning. It can hardly […]
Paris Facing Marauding Nighttime Young Men From the “Banlieues”
Is there anything Emmanuel Macron can do to stop the Yellow Vest movement, short of resigning? Would even that be enough? Macron has failed to quell the riots, even with brute force. His plan to remake France looks dead, and it’s possible he won’t even serve the remainder of his term. As Noemie Bisserbe and […]
Parisian Slums Keep Expanding, French Villages Gradually Disappear
At The Federalist, Auguste Meyrat makes the case that France’s “Yellow Vest,” riots aren’t solely about gas prices, but instead are about the decline of the West.

Blown Away by Tucker Carlson!
I know Tucker through both of our associations with the Cato Institute. Tucker has moved on to the big time national stage and comported himself with aplomb, dignity and distinction. You may be taken aback by what Mr. Carlson concludes in the following Swiss interview. I sure am! Here’s a brief analysis of the Trump […]
Democracy Crusaders, Globalists, Open Borders Progressives, and Interventionists?

Bush), “the Republican nominee has lost the popular vote in six […]
Can Politics Predict the Markets in 2019?
I have written in the past that politics can have a great effect on market performance. Today America is enduring one of the most contentious political climates in memory, and at the same time the stock market has become volatile. The best year in the four-year presidential election cycle is the year before the election. […]

Originally posted February 1, 2018. Paul Gottfried, a professor of humanities at Elizabethtown College and author of Fascism: The Career of a Concept, explains in The American Conservative that neocon Bill Kristol has incorrectly lumped in Tucker Carlson with the paleoconservatives on the subject of immigration. Gottfried explains that in Carlson’s view, it is the will […]
French “banlieues” Breeding Grounds For Failed Muslim Assimilation
In The American Conservative, Will Collins outlines the deep divide between Paris and its suburbs, known as “banlieues,” where much of France’s immigrant population has settled. Collins warns that France’s immigrant-heavy suburban housing complexes have become a breeding ground for gang violence and Islamic radicalism, and that between 15 and 20 percent of French citizens will be Muslim by […]
The Sommelier’s Atlas of Taste: Buy it Today
Here The New York Times offers it’s breaking news roster of The Best Wine Books of 2018. I ordered Rajat Parr’s The Sommelier’s Atlas of Taste as soon as the book was released. In that I view Rajat as #1 on today’s international wine scene (Mr. Burgundy) ordering his seminal new atlas was a no […]
Woodrow Wilson: “America’s Most Left-Wing Progressive President”
At The American Conservative, Bradley Birzer explains the racist and bigoted past of the American Progressive movement, and the views of its earliest champion, Woodrow Wilson, who as Birzer writes, “might have been America’s most left-wing progressive president.” He explains (abridged): Toward what do the progressives of today believe they are progressing?
