The America Report: Republicans for President

Today, Donald Trump is far ahead in the opinion polls for the 2024 Republican presidential candidate. But Ron DeSantis, Tim Scott, and others will make sure that there is no such thing as an inevitable frontrunner.

Immigration: Britain Must Call Time on Tory Trickery

If the electorate had not already done so, it must now accept the reality: the Conservative Party is the party of uncontrolled immigration and it has lied to us, of that there can be no doubt.

Farmers Fighting the Green Revolution

For the last seventy years, agricultural policy in Europe and elsewhere has been driving efficiency and increased production, much to the detriment of societal and environmental health.

The Tories are the First Turkeys to Vote for Christmas

Truss was ridiculed for wearing furs in Moscow during a thaw. It’s an apt metaphor for her—no matter the weather, she’ll wear furs to Moscow because Thatcher did, and no matter the economic forecast, she’ll cut taxes because Thatcher did.

Bringing Europe’s Rural Villages Back to Life

Bringing Europe’s Rural Villages Back to Life

As lovely as it is to see far-flung hamlets of stone houses reinhabited, it is also sometimes difficult to find in their tenuous revival a genuine re-founding of the traditional Europe of which they were originally a part.

Tax Cartel Targets Hungary

Tax Cartel Targets Hungary

Let us call a spade a spade: ending the tax treaty with Hungary is an act of punishment by Washington. If a country refuses to play by their rules, the U.S. administration will exclude, sanction, banish, and publicly flog the incalcitrant nation.
