European Problems Require European Solutions
A full scale Russian imperialist invasion of Ukraine began on February 24, 2022. No one imagined that another international war would take place on the European continent. (The devolution of the former Yugoslavia was accompanied by wars between the various former constituent states of that ultimately artificial nation but did not reach the level of an international war.) The horrible destruction of World War II was enough of a lesson for Europe! The downfall of the Soviet Un

The Democrat Party is Under Attack: It Must React Urgently
The Democrat Party is under attack on numerous fronts. Its most serious threat comes from a subtle group of people who identify themselves as democratic socialists and adhere to a movement of the same name. The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) identifies itself as a movement and seeks, successfully at this time, to infiltrate the Democrat Party by means of a technique previously described in this blog known as entryism. The DSA is actively aided by a party known as the

Democratic Peace Theory and Oil: The West's Hypocrisy
With the collapse of the Soviet Union (USSR) and its satellites in Eastern Europe, it appeared that history was over and liberal democracy would be the new world order. Francis Fukuyama’s celebrated book “The End of History and the Last Man” ushered in this new era of peace on earth and the triumph of liberal democracy over any and all forms of totalitarianism, Fascism, Nazism and Communism. They were dead and buried and would not be missed. Alas, it was not to be. But let’s

Quote of the Day: On Morals and Interests
Much of the news that is disseminated through various media today refers to issues in terms of morality. How is the reader or listener to react when one invokes morality? Is “morality” an absolute? Does one side have a monopoly on morality? It is referred to in all issues, domestic, international, commercial, personal and inter-personal. Politicians, professors, students, theologians, demonstrators, activists, even criminals feel free to invoke morality in defense of their

Thoughts About Jack Schlossberg (JBKS)
On November 12, 2025, Jack Schlossberg, age 32, announced that he will seek the Democrat nomination for the House of Representatives to succeed retiring Rep. Jerry Nadler. Rep. Nadler, the “Dean” of the New York congressional delegation announced that he will not seek reelection when his current term ends Jan.1, 2027. This “open” seat has attracted a number of would-be representatives who will most likely face off in a primary election sometime in 2026. The winner will be the

1,221,000,000,000.00: What Does This Number Mean?
Thirteen figures! That's a Trillion! With a capital T. That's one big number. Americans should get used to it. It's the amount of annual interest on our national debt, currently at a mind boggling $37.5 Trillion and growing daily. This annual interest payment equals 17 pecent of the federal budget and is the single greatest expenditure at this time, easily exceeding the defense budget. What, if anything, does this mean? Firstly, we should note that no one in Washington is b
