Clashes in France Accelerating Europe’s Swing to the Right

President Macron has a penchant for talking up the value of greater unity in Europe, going so far last year as to launch a “European Political Community” for no apparent reason other than love of a pointless rendezvous. What the French president failed to bank on is how Europeans’ frustration with entrenched social crises would in the summer of 2023 move the European political needle decisively to the right.

‘We Deal in Lead, Friend’: Nigerian Christians Are Right to Defend Themselves

We should respect the desire of a community to protect itself from destruction.

Christian farmers in Nigeria have a right to protect themselves, despite the Biden administration’s indifference.

Years ago, as I was finding my feet as a national security professional, I became friends with a wise and wonderful man, a retired Special Forces (SF) officer whose experiences reached back to the earliest days of SF, before Vietnam, before John F. Kennedy conferred the seal of presidential authority on the wearing of the Green Beret.

Aftershocks From the Bud Light Debacle

The amazing story of the self-created demise of Bud Light continues to expand as the once perennial king (queen?) of beer brands has toppled significantly in just months. One side component in this disaster has been how many are unwilling to even give voice to the cause of this, and it is something we see playing out in this new development that has come to light.

UN and Arabs Whitewash Atrocities of Bashar Assad, Instead Blame – Guess Who?

Assad rally Queen’s Park Toronto

The League of Arab States (LAS), which represents 22 member countries, has spent several decades issuing statements of condemnation against Israel. Each time Israel launches a counterterrorism operation in response to Palestinian terrorism, including rockets fired from the Gaza Strip towards Israel and shooting, stabbing and car-ramming attacks, it is denounced. The Israeli government is also condemned by the LAS each time it approves the construction of housing units for Jewish families in Jerusalem and the West Bank.

The same League of Arab States, however, has no problem embracing an Arab president whose regime has killed hundreds of thousands of Arabs, including Palestinians and Syrians, since the beginning of the civil war in Syria in 2011.

UFO Claims Demand Skepticism—And Investigation

Congress is advancing legislation ordering government contractors to hand over any information about “non-earth origin or exotic unidentified anomalous phenomena,” or UAP, better known as UFOs. The bill, recently approved by the Senate’s intelligence committee, follows claims by David Grusch, a whistleblower who analyzed UAP as part of a Pentagon task force, that the government has attempted to reverse-engineer craft of “non-human origin.”

Some regard these sensational developments as fresh evidence that Congress has fallen victim to hysteria. Yet to dismiss them entirely ignores the serious work done by lawmakers to yield conclusive answers to this enduring mystery.

The electric car ‘revolution’ is a disaster before it’s begun

Politicians are forcing electric cars on a public that doesn’t want them

The electric car revolution is stalling, of that there can no longer be any doubt. It has left the big global carmakers floundering, uncertain of how to proceed in a race they reluctantly entered in the first place.

Electrification was initially met with fierce resistance. But once politicians held a gun to the heads of company bosses with a series of cliff-edge deadlines for phasing out the combustion engine, carmakers had little choice but to go all-in.
