Donald Trump’s deregulation, tax cuts, and energy expansion will likely increase federal revenue. That’s the good news. But in what Victor Davis Hanson calls the same old matrix (George W. Bush doubled the national debt and Barack Obama doubled it again) Donald Trump’s “various budget concessions and his own proposed increases in defense spending and infrastructure would likely bleed the […]
The Future of Syria is Not in American Hands
Daniel Depetris writes at The American Conservative that Syria was never America’s job to solve, but for some reason there are troops on the ground there anyway. The war is entering its eighth year, and there’s little America can offer up in the way of a solution to the conflict. He writes (abridged): Syria was […]
While American Kids Eat Tide Pods, Swiss Kids are Learning to Shoot
In America, parents are furiously attempting to prevent their kids from eating Tide Pods, an inexplicable “challenge” fad that has sent participants to the hospital. Meanwhile, in Switzerland parents are driving their kids to Jungschützen, or junior rifle courses. The number of Swiss children learning to shoot is growing rapidly. In the last two years, the […]
The American Military Needs Better Leaders, Not a Parade
You’ve got to hand it to Donald Trump: he can wind people up like just about no one else. Last week, the Washington Post reported that Trump had asked the Pentagon to begin plans for a military parade down Pennsylvania Avenue to imitate the French military parade that celebrates Bastille Day each year. Liberals–and others–howled […]

Don’t Blame Trump for the Budget Debacle
Blame the entrenched elites in the Republican party. Trump proposed cutbacks, and plenty of them. The Republican elites voted against the President. Now deficits and debt are front and center topics of discussion. Let’s leave President Trump out of the discussion. The Republican party has been working against Trump from the day he formed his […]
Do You Know How to Make an Untraceable Gun in Your Home?
I have been following the rise of the “ghost gun” movement for some time. It turns out, it’s not so hard to build your own untraceable firearm. Unsurprisingly, people in states with the most restriction on the ownership of firearms are most likely to decide to build their own at home. A whole cottage industry […]
Will Israeli Clashes Pull America Deeper into the Syria Conflict?
Last Friday an Iranian drone flying out of Syria crossed over into Israeli airspace sparking clashes that would claim lives and destroy at least two Israeli aircraft and many Syrian and Irani military vehicles. At The American Conservative, Pat Buchanan wonders, with no clear policy in Syria, if such flare ups in violence could pull […]
Could Boris Johnson Give Theresa May the Boot?
Writing in The National Interest, Curt Mills explains the route Boris Johnson may take to becoming the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. Despite his reckless reputation, Mills says Johnson would be better than the alternatives.
