So Vlad the Terrible is now occupying Ukraine’s version of the Sudetenland. As with 1938 Czechoslovakia, the rest of the country will follow in due course. Both the 2014 seizure of the Crimea and Russia’s current actions violate the Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances, in which Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States promised …

Those Who Forget History’s Lessons…
“How horrible, fantastic, incredible it is that we should be digging trenches and trying on gas-masks here because of a quarrel in a far away country between people of whom we know nothing. It seems still more impossible that a quarrel which has already been settled in principle should be the subject of war.” — …
Biden’s Voting Wrongs Bills
It now appears that in a frustration-fueled rage, the empty suit that is Joe Biden will try to rip down one of the last props of the Republic to achieve his puppeteers’ dream of single-party rule. It’s not just that the “John Lewis Voting Rights Act” and its evil clone the “Freedom to Vote Act” …
On The Abolition of Man
Here’s a way to tell one is in the presence of genius: they can foretell the future. In 1947 British author C.S. Lewis completed and published “The Abolition of Man.” The slim volume was a collection of three lectures he gave at the University of Durham focusing on education. It makes chilling reading today because …
A Fatal Fecklessness
Anyone watching the Donbas region? We should – it’s likely the spot where the match will be struck that starts the next Great-Power conflict. The Donbas is an eastern part of Ukraine, immediately on Russia’s western border. It is occupied by pro-Russian separatists armed and supported by Russia, who have been in a state of …
Arbitrary, Cruel, Bloody and Diabolical
“…Despotism…is the same in a Majority of a popular Assembly, an Aristocratical Counsel, an Oligarchical Junto and a single Emperor. Equally arbitrary, cruel, bloody and in every respect, diabolical.”
-Letter from John Adams to Thomas Jefferson, November 13, 1815.
The Climate Grift
As we watch the ongoing clown show in Glasgow, a thought. Instead of beating up Joe Manchin for wanting to share facts with a slogan-spouting Green Guard ideologue, or pressing for confiscatory taxes so the government can “spread the money around” to its favorite corporate cronies and other petitioners, perhaps everyone hyperventilating about the “climate …
Educational Malpractice
The figures are in, and they ain’t pretty. Now that the National Assessment of Educational Progress – known colloquially as the “nation’s report card” is out, we know that fourth-grade students have made no advances in math or reading since 2012. Thirty-four and thirty-one percent respectively were “proficient” then, thirty-four and thirty-one percent now. For …
Crazy Joe’s Pet Communist
Joe Biden’s nominee for Comptroller of the Currency – the person responsible for managing risk in our banking system – is Saule Omarova. A Professor at Cornell University’s Law School, she is a self-proclaimed “radical” and a product of the former Soviet Union – the system that gave the world a worthless sorta-convertible currency, a …
Bad and Dangerous Math
“Look, here it is.” Joe Biden is lying again. In his Monday morning press conference on raising the national debt, he echoed the argument, oft-heard from Democrat lawmakers, that we have to “raise the debt ceiling to pay for money already spent by both parties.” Which is an outright lie. According to the Treasury Department, …
