The America Report: Diplomacy, 2024, and the Culture War

The culture war will be important in the 2024 election. The dividing lines separate two very different ideologies about the principles of human civilization: on the one hand, God, life, liberty, and tradition; on the other hand, secular hedonism with no boundary between right and wrong.

The ‘Koranation’ of King Charles III

There are many reasons to be concerned about King Charles III. His general kowtowing to ‘wokery’ is risible, since the Left desires nothing more than his abolition. What concerns me the most, however, is his Islamophilia.

The Shield and the Olive Branch

When it comes to the EU’s China policy, the seeming dissonance between Macron’s appeasement and von der Leyen’s hawkishness is in fact a well-rehearsed symbiosis.

The American Deal With a Hungarian Devil

Biden Administration officials’ hatred of Prime Minister Viktor Orbán drives them into the arms of far more dangerous characters.

Italy: Two Women in Power

The contrast between these two women in Italy is certainly unique in our history. Meloni and Schlein are each trying to fill the leadership void that is lacking not only in Italy, but also in Europe.

Cancel Culture: The Illusion of Justice

It is not activists’ sincere belief in the harm caused by ‘wrong words’ that is the problem, but their ill-founded hubris—their self-assumed role of holy avengers bringing the world to the ‘right side of history.’

French Election, Final Days: Could Macron Lose?

French Election, Final Days: Could Macron Lose?

For many months, the re-election of Emmanuel Macron has been taken for granted. But the French hate it when a scenario is imposed on them in advance.

Who Killed Jérémy Cohen?

Who Killed Jérémy Cohen?

Both Zemmour and Le Pen have tweeted about the possibility that this could be an anti-Semitic second or third-degree murder and that its late arrival on the news cycle could be premeditated.

The System of Dependence: Do We Need Unemployment Benefits?

The System of Dependence: Do We Need Unemployment Benefits?

Why endure work routine, long commutes, and hated bosses if one has an opportunity to sit back and enjoy even larger payments from the government? Not only is it simple, but it is also often more profitable.

The Hurdles to European Prosperity

The Hurdles to European Prosperity

Rather than sinking further into debt to maintain current, high levels of government spending, it is time for Europe’s leaders to fundamentally reconsider their economic and social policies. It is time for them to adopt an entirely new program for economic prosperity.

War: A Hideous Conspiracy against Gender Equality

War: A Hideous Conspiracy against Gender Equality

War plunges us into the depths of the darkness inflicted by man; but it also allows us to resurrect eternal forgotten truths. Among them is the reality that women are the sanctuary of life.

The World Needs a Post-Neocon America

Russia bears the full moral and economic burden for the war, but it is also clear that America’s neoconservative doctrine is one of the losers in that conflict.
