Nikki Haley’s allies are running ads in Iowa casting Gov. Ron DeSantis as a Trump wannabee and mocking his campaign as a “dumpster fire.” Mr. DeSantis’ political pals are firing back with TV ads warning that Ms. Haley is a flip-flopper on key issues. They’ve dubbed her “Tricky Nikki.” Former President Donald Trump, meanwhile, is […]
Let’s round out the year with a bit of good news, or at least the potential for something positive following a season where reasons for optimism have been few and far between. Among the many terrible governmental policy shifts seen under the Biden administration, one of the more odious has been the war on gas […]
Running for office sometimes requires navigating tricky questions without coming across as inauthentic. At a town hall in New Hampshire on Wednesday, presidential hopeful Nikki Haley failed miserably. When asked by an attendee what the cause of the Civil War was, Haley replied after an uncomfortable pause, “Well, don’t come with an easy question, right?” […]
For those of us who grew up in the South, race relations is a tricky topic. From slavery through the Jim Crow era, we Southerners are painfully aware of the racism that litters our history as a region. Trust me, there’s always some leftist somewhere who can’t wait to point it out to us. […]
It can be simultaneously true that Ukraine’s fight against Russian aggression is just and that Ukraine will not be able to achieve the objective of completely beating back Russian advances into its territory.

Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley on Thursday sought to clarify her failure to mention slavery when prompted about the Civil War at a town hall in New Hampshire.

“Don’t come with an easy question,” Nikki Haley jokingly said, but there are few questions easier than this. That’s especially true for a former governor of South Carolina, and one who — to credit Haley — handled a political crisis over the Confederate flag with far more aplomb than we see here. While in New […]
World War II: The First Culture War, by Robert Oulds; The Bruges Group (2023) I’M OLD enough to remember when the Second World War was relived daily in the playground, with less popular kids deployed as Germans. Three decades after the conflict ended, the Battle of Britain and D-Day lingered in boys’ imagination, as they read […]
This is the second of two essays by Lieutenant General Jonathon Riley on the lessons the modern-day world can learn from Napoleon’s successes and ultimate failure. These follow on from his review of Ridley Scott’s historically inaccurate film published on Saturday. Yesterday’s Part 1 examined strategy, past and present. Today’s focuses on the limits of power them and now. ‘IT […]
War is a hot political topic. For me, growing up in America has always involved the subject of war. For decades I have listened to rants about the war on poverty, the war on crime, the war on the family, and even the cold war. Throughout my 16 years of education, my studies included the […]
