Evergrande was once China’s top real estate developer, but ever since it defaulted on loans in 2021 the company has been in a kind of slow-motion collapse. With more than $300 billion in debts and contractors who hadn’t been paid, there seemed to be no way for the company to recover. The central problem at […]
Continuing my popular series of Things I Like, I wanted to turn you on to some of the best history podcasts you can find: Mike Duncan’s two podcasts, The History of Rome and Revolutions. I discovered Mike’s first podcast, The History of Rome, for the same reason he started it: the paucity of alternatives when […]
The craziness at airports around the world continues apace, but the latest incident being reported comes with a bit of a twist. It took place at the Mexico City International Airport on Friday and it probably created quite a spectacle. An Aeromexico flight to Guatemala was awaiting takeoff when a male passenger opened one of […]
Whom does Ilhan Omar serve as a member of the House of Representatives? Depends on who you ask … and where the Minneapolis Democrat is speaking, apparently. At a recent event in her home district among fellow Somalians, Omar asserted that Somalia was her top priority in Congress, and that she intended to make sure […]
Billionaire George Soros has donated $3M to at least five left-wing groups in Texas recently. He’s up to his usual behavior, using his vast fortune to put socialists and other progressives in office.

Germany is contemplating reinstating conscription because war with Russia within the next 5 years is now considered a distinct possibility. That sounds insane despite the fact that European countries are seriously underprepared to defend themselves. Germany barely has a functional military anymore, despite promises to radically increase military readiness. German Leopard tanks are failing in […]
Don’t expect to hear a lot about this from the MSM or the Ukraine-loving politicians in Washington from both parties. It turns out that some money has once again gone missing in Kyiv. And we’re not talking about chicken feed here. Members of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry reportedly conspired with a local arms firm to […]
Three senators are working together to put together a border security agreement that is acceptable to both Democrats and Republicans. Senator James Lankford (D-OK) is the lead Republican in the negotiations. Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) and Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ) are the others. Let’s be clear from the start – the language of the border […]
Alternate histories are always speculative, so I cannot prove my assertion. But let’s face it, most rational people know–even if they won’t admit it–that Biden has been extraordinarily weak when it comes to foreign policy. Even in Ukraine, where he has the best claim to being assertive in his foreign policy, Biden’s evident weakness in […]
Two articles of impeachment against Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas were released by House Republicans on Sunday. Republicans said they will quickly move forward to try to oust Mayorkas from office. Mayorkas faces impeachment due to his failure to manage the southern border. Democrats claim it is an election year stunt, politically […]
