It has been clear for months that Joe Biden is not physically up to the job of President of the United States. Of late, concern has grown that he’s not actually doing that job, either. Last week, Mr. Biden engaged in perhaps the most bizarre behavior of anyone who has ever occupied the Oval Office:…
A Communist was elected to the presidency of Chile on Sunday. Gabriel Boric will now pull his country fully into the camp of Marxists who run most of our hemisphere – and intend to take over the rest next year. Such “fundamental transformations” generally involve a radical leftist rewrite of the national constitution. Power is…
Winston Churchill described the run up to World War II as “the Gathering Storm.” Today’s geostrategic “atmospheric” conditions suggest that another global conflagration is in the offing in our time. Consider the following indicators of heavy weather inbound: Communist China is building up its forces for attacks on Taiwan and/or India. Russia has massed 100,000…
Ronald Reagan correctly observed that “Personnel is policy.” And Team Biden has repeatedly proven that bad appointments result in terrible policies. Fortunately, the U.S. Senate has a chance to prevent additional harm by blocking the nomination of an advocate for Islamist policies to a senior State Department post. Unfortunately, its Foreign Relations Committee yesterday approved…
Bad news for millions of Americans whose lives have been upended – or destroyed – by the Chinese Communist Party’s pandemic. Or who hate the idea of legitimating the CCP’s Genocide Games in February. Or its bid to dominate the world and take down our country in the process. John Solomon’s “Just the News” reports…
The Biden wrecking operation’s most devastating legacy could be its destruction of the value and reserve currency status of the U.S. dollar. The inflation wracking Americans today is but a small foretaste of what will ensue if the dollar is dethroned. Yet that disaster now looms, thanks to the Democrats’ reckless determination to add $5…
The terrible conflict in Korea sixty years ago is properly described as “the Forgotten War.” Especially lost to memory is the strategic mistake many experts believe precipitated South Korea’s invasion by the North. We may be poised to make an equally fraught mistake in our time. In 1950, then-Secretary of State Dean Acheson publicly drew…
Keith Krach is a largely unsung hero of the Trump presidency. Like the President he served as the Under Secretary of State for Economic Growth, Energy and the Environment, he didn’t need the work. He earned billions of dollars as an entrepreneur before turning his considerable talents to public service. Arguably, Mr. Krach’s most important…
President Biden is convening this week a virtual Summit of Democracies. Of course, what matters is not a nation’s nominal political system, but its commitment to freedom. Adolf Hitler is among the many totalitarians who came to power following an election. Peru is the most recent example of this phenomenon, yet it’s among Mr. Biden’s…
Joe Biden spent two hours yesterday on a high-stakes phone call with Russia’s Vladimir Putin. Unfortunately, such diplomatic heavy lifting – like Biden’s recent, four-hour “virtual summit” with China’s Xi Jinping – constitutes elder-abuse for a man in his declining cognitive condition. Worse yet, it may put our country and its vital interests in significant…
In light of the Chinese Communist Party’s ongoing genocide and record of other human rights abuses, U.S. officials will engage in a so-called “diplomatic boycott” of the Beijing Olympic Games in February. That action is at once a confirmation of our nation’s treaty obligation to punish the Chinese government for its genocidal conduct, and a…
Our financial war with China is escalating. The Securities and Exchange Commission finally required actual audits of Chinese Communist Party companies in U.S. capital markets. And China’s counterpart to Uber known as Didi became the first to delist here. Beijing expects, however, that its “old friends” on Wall Street will still invest Americans’ money in…
Didi, China’s counterpart to Uber, exemplifies the dangers of investing in companies controlled by the Chinese Communist Party. Following its Initial Public Offering on Wall Street last summer, a CCP investigation sent the stock plunging, inflicting losses of $22 billion in market value. Now, the CCP is compelling Didi to delist from the New York…
Russia’s Vladimir Lenin may not have said “The capitalists will sell us the rope with which we hang them,” but it’s been a guiding principle for Communists worldwide. Those in China have actually gotten capitalists to pay for the purchase of the Chinese-made rope, as well. Worse yet, if you participate in pension plans or…
Webster’s Dictionary recently announced that the Word of the Year was “vaccines”. My candidate would have been “gaslighting” – a term that describes deliberate lying to mislead and control its target. For example, the American people have been relentlessly gaslighted about: the Russia collusion hoax, Dr. Anthony Fauci and the Chinese Communist Party virus, Hunter…
As evidence mounts that the gene therapies being called “vaccines” are of declining effectiveness against virus mutations and with increasing adverse side effects, officials are insisting that all of us need to get “fully vaccinated.” That now means being jabbed not just twice, but with the first of what will, evidently, be a number of…
A particularly egregious example of Joe Biden’s wrecking operation is his administration’s disregard for religious liberty. Oh, he and his minions like Secretary of State Tony Blinken pay lip service to this foundational freedom. But their actions betray an indifference to its abuse and those being denied it. For example, Secretary Blinken recently enthused about…
Communist China and Russia just announced an ominous ramping up of their strategic military cooperation. The truth is that Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping have been intensifying such collaboration for years, including in simulated joint nuclear attacks against this country. Even more ominous is the extent to which both of these adversaries have been assiduously…
Thanksgiving is a time when people of every faith and no faith celebrate their blessings. It’s also an appropriate moment to reflect on the many millions worldwide denied religious freedom. That’s especially so as the Senate will soon consider the nomination of Rashad Hussain to be America’s top diplomat responsible for promoting that fundamental human…
The U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission was established by Congress to provide a second-opinion on official estimates of the threat posed by the Chinese Communist Party. Its work has never been more needed, because that threat has never been greater. For example, the U.S.-China Commission just called fresh attention to an aspect of the…
