The Impending Death(s) of Vladimir Putin

A recent U.S. intelligence report claims that Vladimir Putin is “definitely sick,” received cancer treatment in April, and survived an assassination attempt in March. But this isn’t the first time such rumors have been voiced.

Finally: Europe’s Economic Recovery

Compared to the American economy, Europe is slow to get through the post-pandemic recovery, but these GDP numbers show that it is actually happening—almost everywhere, that is. The paltry numbers out of Germany, Italy, and Spain, three of the largest economies in Europe, tell us that these three countries have become a drag on the European economy.

National Conservatism: A Statement of Principles

We see the tradition of independent, self-governed nations as the foundation for restoring a proper public orientation toward patriotism and courage, honor and loyalty, religion and wisdom, congregation and family, man and woman, the sabbath and the sacred, and reason and justice.

Minimum Wages: Mandatory Socialism

Although this new minimum-wage agreement is not legally binding, it will in all likelihood be treated as such by the EU institutions. We can expect the price floor on labor to be frequently updated and rise regardless of whether businesses can afford it or not.

The Meaning of Monarchy

Activist lecturers like this belong to a small minority of people within Britain, but it is worth going through her fierce assault on the recent Platinum Jubilee, if for no other reason than to expose the hostile activism that now passes for teaching at our publicly funded universities.

The Values We Teach Our Children

As Ronald Reagan put it: “Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation from extinction.” This requires no explanation for us Hungarians—we have learnt this from repeated experience.

Joining the Euro: Stern Advice for the Croatian Government

As Croatia’s lawmakers enter the final stretch toward euro membership, it is essential that they understand exactly what happened in Greece, and why. In five short years, 2009-2014, the Greek economy imploded: one quarter of it vanished. This was a direct result of the austerity packages that the EU and the ECB forced upon the government in Athens. What will Croatia do to avoid ending up in the same trap as Greece?

New Consistory: What Will the College of Cardinals Look Like?

Consistories usually take place in February, June, and November. This time, the pope stepped a little ahead of schedule, as if he wanted to anticipate and name—as soon as possible—those who will compete for the election of his successor.

Flurry of Studies Exposes Dangers of COVID-19 Vaccines

New studies exposing the dangers of the COVID-19 vaccines are published on a weekly basis. But, along with the mounting number of vaccine-related side effects, they are routinely met with silence by the media and politicians.
