Pat Buchanan hammers the idea of America’s involvement in another war in the Middle East. The country still hasn’t paid for the last two, another war would only make it harder to ever pay down the trillions in debt accumulated fighting seemingly unending conflicts with no apparent purpose. “One knowledgeable official estimates that the CIA-backed […]
Where Have all the Conservative Professors Gone?
During my time at Babson, political messaging and identity were less prominent among professors. But after the group of student demonstrators who rocked campuses in the 60s decided to become professors and never leave, the cohort of professors has gotten steadily more liberal. Sam Goldman, writing at The American Conservative says this leftward shift makes […]
Thoughtful Cancer Intelligence From U.S. Wellness and Dr. Mercola
Have you heard of ketosis? In 2015 I wondered if it was the “holy grail” of anti-aging. It’s certainly helpful to avoid sugar whenever possible. But now Dr. Mercola points to some evidence that ketosis may help treat cancer. He writes: Each and every day, more than 1,600 people prematurely die from cancer in the […]
Is America Headed for War with Iran?
After some recent bellicose statements from elder statesman Newt Gingrich, Pat Buchanan is worried that America may be headed to another pointless war in the Middle East. Buchanan lacerates Gingrich’s comment that “Containment is appeasement and appeasement is surrender.” Pat makes it clear that there are many people interested in seeing the U.S. military begin […]

Trump Finally Picks an Ambassador to Russia
After a rocky relationship going back to the 2012 presidential election, in which Trump called him weak and a “lightweight,” Jon Huntsman Jr. has been chosen by President Trump as the next ambassador to Russia. Huntsman should have no problem assuming this role. He has been an ambassador in the two previous administrations as well, […]
Chanler House, Newport: Dick Young’s Favorite R.I. Hotel
Debbie grew up literally in the Chanler’s backyard. When I first arrived in Newport in the early 60s, George Wien’s Newport Jazz Festival was at Freebody Park, just blocks away from the Cliff Walk Manor Hotel (pre-Chanler). Duke. Brubeck, Mingus and the Ray Charles Band were early stars at the Festival. Many of the jazz […]
Bleu Provence Wins a Coveted Award
Bleu Provence in Naples is our clear favorite in all of Florida, with the best wine list and food and a great wine shop just next door. Debbie and I count as good friends Bleu Provence owner Jacques and son Clement, and we meet with them every time we are in Naples where our family run […]
Does NATO Subvert the Constitution?
Michael Scheuer makes a great case here for the unconstitutionality of the NATO treaty. The Treaty, signed nearly seventy years ago, binds today’s Congress to going to war against unknown enemies simply because they attack another allied nation. This obligation removes Congress, the only body constitutionally allowed to declare war, from the war making decision […]
Shame: GOP’s Epic Obamacare Failure
Even after offering up a watered-down Obamacare Lite version of their “repeal,” the GOP Senate was too cowardly to fulfill the promise that gave Republicans control of the House, Senate and Presidency in 2010, 2014, and 2016 respectively. For years the Republicans have run on the promise to repeal and replace Obamacare with a plan […]
