Originally posted January 24, 2014. Sounds dramatic and scary, I know, but Debbie and I witness this riding our Harleys around the country, especially in liberal New York and New England. We are aware of two culprits: one, the Internet; and two, political fair trade delusions. The bought-and-paid-for politicians in Washington apparently believe that passing […]
Your Newport Summer Getaway, Part I
Debbie and I live in Newport, R.I. part of the year, not far from where Debbie grew up off the Cliff Walk and close to the best hotel/restaurant in Rhode Island, The Chanler at Cliff Walk. Our close second choice is Castle Hill Inn, with its rolling lawn overlooking the East Passage and Narragansett Bay. […]
What Now For NATO?
Cato Institute senior fellow Ted Galen Carpenter writes in National Interest (Online): Erdogan’s victory over an extraordinarily inept coup plot did not signal a victory for a truly democratic Turkey. Instead, his government has used the incident to purge not only the military, but the judiciary and the educationalsystem of thousands of opponents. The extent and speed of […]
Jay Nordlinger’s Take on Terrorists
The American Conservative’s Andrew Bacevich tells Americans that “the West today finds itself caught in a paradox of its own making.” The murderous attack earlier this month in Nice, France, prompted Jay Nordlinger, senior editor at the ostensibly conservative National Review, to propose a new approach to dealing with terrorism. His strategy is simplicity itself: […]
A Festival of Death in Europe
I am aware of no one who does a better job of alerting Americans to the abject cancer of radical Islam than former CIA bin Laden unit chief Dr. Michael Scheuer. There is no question in my mind that any incoming American president should headline on his “America First” “Defend America at all Costs” team […]
Republicans: Reckoning Day Has Arrived
Pat Buchanan drives home the point that a Trump-led GOP is not going to be about open borders, free trade globalism, or reflexive interventionism. About Cruz, a prediction: He will not be the nominee in 2020. He will never be the nominee. If Trump wins, Cruz is cooked. If Trump loses, his people will not […]

German Tsunami of Unaccompanied Minors
The Wall Street Journal analyzes the outcome of Germany’s decision to allow waves of “unaccompanied minors” to pour into the country. BERLIN—A 17-year-old asylum seeker’s rampage on a German train has thrown the spotlight on a subset of migrants seen as particularly susceptible to crime or radical extremism: unaccompanied minors. The attacker’s age hits directly […]
Cato on America’s Global Role
My Cato Institute friend Chris Preble, author of The Power Problem: How American Military Dominance Makes Us Less Safe, Less Prosperous, and Less Free, and his associates concentrate on America’s vital interests. The end of the Cold War ushered in a unipolar world, cementing U.S. dominance over a generally liberal international order. Yet where once it seemed […]
Cato Institute on the EU
The Cato Institute’s Marian L. Tupy explains to Americans that The EU’s claims about prosperity and stability are at odds with reality. The EU started as a free trade area and a customs union. Over time, it has become a supranational entity that resembles a federal state and is governed by a byzantine bureaucracy in […]
