“It is one of the enduring mysteries of American history—so near-providential as to give the most hardened atheist pause—that it should have produced, at every hinge point, great men who matched the moment,” begins Charles Krauthammer’s essay “Martin Luther King in Words and Stone” in Krauthhammer’s Things That Matter. A roiling, revolutionary 18th-century British colony […]
If You Aren’t Terrified You Aren’t Paying Attention
Writing in The American Conservative, Paul Gottfried details the hysteria taking hold of the House of Representatives, and leaves readers with a dire prediction for more of the same in the future. He writes: The appearance of such splenetic politicians on the national scene as Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib from Southwest Detroit and her equally […]
The Political Structure Dead in the Water
The future of politics may well be that everything will have to get worse before it gets … worse, writes Daniel Henninger in the WSJ. “It won’t be pretty, and for many it may be painful.” In the United States and the United Kingdom—two of the world’s oldest democracies—national governments are at a standstill. This, […]
What’s Good for Thee is not for Pelosi
As Madame Pelosi cools her heels on the tarmac—thank you President Trump—she might ponder why Americans are fed up with her duplicitous stand on the WALL. Because behind her smirk and her walled family compound, is anyone really home? You would think she’s working for the Russians. Maybe she and AOC should get a boots-on-the-ground […]
The Disastrous Versailles Treaty of 1919
Doug Bandow, a senior fellow at the Cato Institute, explains to readers of The American Conservative the long lasting and negative effects of the Versailles Treaty. The treaty was an attempt at global organization by the same types of globalists who believe America can bring order to the Middle East. Bandow writes (abridged): A century […]
When the Wealthy Flee, Who Pays for Government?
It is important to analyze your political situation. Is your state taxing you unfairly? Is there an alternative? I wrote this piece on October 8, 2018 to encourage Americans to think about what happens when wealthy taxpayers flee punitive taxation. Who will pay for a state’s government when there’s no one left with any money? […]
Middle America, The Real America, Has Turned to Trump
Middle Americans, feeling a gap in their lives, have chosen President Trump, much like they chose President Obama in 2008, to fill that gap, explains Timothy P. Carney in The American Conservative. Carney writes (abridged): If you’ve ever been to a Donald Trump rally, you’ll notice it doesn’t match the impression left by the […]
Trump Can Turn Around the SOTU Address
Before there was Obama, there was Woodrow Wilson, “the most dramatically progressive president we’d ever had,” writes Michael Walsh in American Greatness. Wilson morphed the annual State of the Union speech into what it has become today: “the hot air that keeps the Capitol dome inflated,” with its stupefying length and “a laundry list of […]
Tucker Explains: Earning $1 a Year
If America has learned one thing from Tucker Carlson of late, it is that too many citizens are not being heard. They love their country. But have no voice. At the core of Tucker’s message is that in order to change the country, politicians need to understand the individuality/self-interest that makes America great. The simple […]
Liberal Globalists Are “Far From a Majority in France.”
Scott McConnell, writing in The American Conservative, explains to readers that Emmanuel Macron was “elected by voters either at peace with liberal globalism or fearful that Marine Le Pen would be too disruptive. He now knows that the former group, at least, are far from a majority in France.” With the weakness of his mandate, […]
