Washington’s obsession with foreign interference in U.S. elections drove the three-year fixation on Russia and morphed into a compulsive fascination with the darker corners of the Ukraine (are there any bright corners in that benighted land?). Once again the Pharisees strain at gnats but swallow a camel. If they are concerned about a foreign power
What if someone you trusted said you were sick? What if someone you trusted made you sick so you relied on them for support? That’s known as Munchausen syndrome by proxy. It’s considered a form of abuse. Now, what if someone did all of the above to an entire nation? That would be known as what
Niccolo Machiavelli advised there was no end to conflict for the prince. Wisdom consists of choosing the option that places one in the most advantageous position for the next inevitable contest. “A ruler must never imagine that any decision he takes is safe,” the West’s first political consultant advised the prince. “He should reckon that
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has forgotten nothing and learned nothing. The threats leveled at the NBA repulsed all Americans. Perhaps the Chinese Communist bosses expected all of us to respond like Lebron James, who criticized Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey for supporting pro-democracy protesters in Hong Kong.

Nancy Pelosi says her latest impeachment spectacle is “about the Constitution.” That’s laughable since so many of her actions, like those of so many in her conference and their progressive fellow travelers, do violence to the Constitution on a daily basis. The following non-exhaustive list catalogues instances of the authoritarians’ widening assault on our liberties.
America First or lead from behind. That is the starkest contrast between President Trump and his predecessor. And President Trump’s signature achievement could be reopening the question of free trade in general and trade with China in particular. For decades, the leaders of both parties and all of academia told us free trade was an unalloyed
China is waging economic warfare in its bid to replace the United States as the world’s dominant superpower. Beijing uses the dollars Americans send them to buy, build, and steal the military and high-tech hardware it needs to achieve its goal to take over the world. And the money comes from IPOs on Wall Street
In the same way President Bill Clinton gave away hundreds of thousands of jobs to Mexico and Vice President Joe Biden helped send millions more to China, the Democrats vying for their party’s 2020 nomination now plan to outsource and destroy yet another American industry. I refer to the so-called “progressive” Democrats’ opposition to the
