Should a senile old man be the leader of the free world?

NO ONE outside the White House and a handful of top Democratic and Republican leaders knows the full extent of Joe Biden’s control of his own presidency. Ordinary mortals (aka voters) must rely for evidence of his senility on what they see on television during Biden’s unavoidable public appearances. Even then, the loyal media cover […]

Biden’s ruinous foreign policy 2: Gaza

IN THE first part of this essay yesterday I explained how Biden’s unhinged foreign policy precipitated the destruction of Ukraine. Yet while the horrors of Bakhmut and the Donbas were unfolding, another of Biden’s utopian delusions was germinating in the Middle East. His government inherited the region from Trump in a subdued state: ISIS had been shattered […]

Biden’s ruinous foreign policy 1: Ukraine

THE Biden administration is reaping the whirlwind of its deluded foreign policy. On its watch, a dreadful war against the Russian behemoth has essentially been lost after two years of wasteful struggle. And now, through Biden’s years-long appeasement of Iran’s malignant ayatollahs, the Middle East is in flames. As the election approaches, it is apparent that this […]

Dolan’s Digest: Suddenly Trump is in the driving seat

While it might have been expected, the sheer scale of Trump’s victory sent shockwaves through the […]

The ‘shipwreck’ of Brexit, according to the Voice of France

I WAS sent a little vignette about how the French establishment sees Brexit, or rather more accurately how they would like to portray it. Le Figaro is the establishment self-proclaimed voice of La France, their equivalent of perhaps The Times with a bit of FT thrown in – and to them the mad Rosbif have got what they deserved, ‘a total loss […]

Good news for Trump and Capitol protesters

AN Epoch Times report is both exciting and potentially very good news for those who care about the coup against democracy that the Biden administration is perpetrating in the United States. It says: ‘The US Supreme Court could upend more than 330 criminal cases and strike down the most potent weapon in the Department of Justice’s arsenal against January 6 protesters.’  The […]

A very political prison stabbing

ON THE Friday after Thanksgiving, known as ‘Black Friday’ here in America, a 47-year-old former policeman was stabbed 22 times by a fellow inmate in a federal prison in Tucson, Arizona. That former policeman’s name is Derek Chauvin. He was convicted of murdering a career criminal called George Floyd by kneeling on his neck for nine and […]
