October 7 War a Perfect Moment for Palestinian Statehood – HotAir

Alternate headline: 19 Senate Democrats Endorse Terrorism As Legitimate Exercise of Politics. How else to describe a memo signed by almost half of the Senate Democrat caucus calling on Joe Biden to be “bold” and unilaterally declare an intent to recognize Palestine as a sovereign state as a direct result of the war Hamas started on […]

A third year of war – and still Putin holds all the cards

UKRAINE is entering the third year of its unequal war with Russia in a worse plight than when the fighting began.  It has begun inauspiciously with the surrender of the besieged eastern city of Avdiivka by its outnumbered defenders. The Russians seem impregnably dug in on a fifth of Ukrainian territory and the military, badly […]

Finland Getting Serious About Preparing for War – HotAir

I must admit that I am fascinated by the sudden uptick in talk about a European war with Russia.  Not fascinated in the “I would love to see what happens” way, but rather “I never expected to hear the mostly pacifist European governments openly discuss the possibility of World War III.” Nobody, I think, is […]

Civil War, Anyone? – HotAir

There has been a lot of dark muttering about a brewing civil war in the United States, and I understand precisely why that is.  Both sides of the political divide deeply distrust the other; Democrats (claim to and often do) believe that Donald Trump and the MAGA movement are dangerous authoritarians who, if allowed to […]

One victim of the war on small retailers

THROUGHOUT the United Kingdom high street retail is dying. Whether its demise is being hastened via an ‘end of life’ pathway orchestrated and administered by government decision-makers is the burning question. The latest nail in the high street coffin is the the Body Shop going into administration, following the 2023 collapse of Wilko. The acceleration began when […]

All the Ukraine war has demonstrated is the weakness of Nato

IT’S NOT just the British Army that is running out of soldiers. According to the Washington Post and Associated Press the Ukrainians are too. Running out of soldiers is another way of saying battlefield defeat. At the same time President Zelensky has sacked his commander-in-chief, who asked for 500,000 more soldiers (whence?) and the Ukrainian parliament is reducing the […]

Biden’s War Against the Internet – HotAir

        It’s a miracle of private sector innovation and the magic of the free enterprise system that technologies that were only the playthings of the super-rich a generation ago are now available and affordable to almost all Americans.         Back in 2000, only half of Americans had internet access.

Democracy in Decay: Tyrant Tusk’s all-out war on democracy

ALL over the West we hear talk of the ‘threat to democracy’ of that progressive bogeyman, the ‘far right’. What this really means is that there is a threat to rule of the managerial elite whose progressive values control our decision-making bodies. The EU has always been a haven for the bureaucratic and managerially inclined. […]
