US Senator Joseph McCarthy was in the middle of an otherwise boring speech at the Republican Women’s Club of Wheeling, West Virginia on February 9, 1950, when he pulled out a nondescript piece of paper from his jacket pocket. Waving the paper into the air for all to see, Senator McCarthy proclaimed that
Like a lot of people, I first came across Charlie Kirk when YouTube’s algorithm started showing me short clips of him dismantling woke leftists at university campuses. Kirk used politeness combined with simple logic and reason to demonstrate what we all already knew: the Left has no idea what they’re talking about. That’s
In the late third century BC, the Roman republic was locked in a long and brutal war with its mortal enemy, Carthage. Hannibal had only recently crossed the Alps with his legendary elephants and humiliated the Roman military at the Battle of Cannae in southern Italy. Yet in the midst of all that
They got him! British police finally made the arrest of the century. No, not a terrorist they welcomed across open borders. Not the leaders of the immigrants who organized “groomer gangs” to sexually abuse young girls while the British government covered it up for two decades. The heinous criminal was one of Britain’s
In our April edition of our premium investment research service, we told subscribers about a highly promising precious metals company— one that we thought was deeply undervalued. The company had rapidly grown its production nearly 20x in just a few years, not to mention they had also paid off ALL of their debt.
For centuries, the Byzantine Empire’s gold coin, known as the solidus, had been the backbone of global trade in the medieval world; nearly pure gold, the solidus was trusted by merchants from Baghdad to London. But by the 11th century, multiple emperors had chipped away at its gold content—watering it down to pay
I’m sure we all remember the 2020 “Summer of Love.” After months of lockdowns, “mostly peaceful” protesters were in the streets screaming to defund the police. And no one was allowed to have a contrary opinion. Of course, you could support the #DefundPolice movement all you wanted— on Twitter, with Facebook profile pictures,
Welcome to Alligator Alcatraz— the detention center in the middle of the swampy Everglades, surrounded by razor wire, armed guards, and actual alligators. Formally known as the Everglades Transitional Detention Center, it was built by the state of Florida inside federal land managed by the National Park Service, designed to detain illegal immigrants
It was supposed to be a library. Instead, Barack Obama is getting a bomb shelter. The Obama Presidential Center in Chicago’s Jackson Park was first pitched as a community beacon, a temple of hope to uplift one of America’s most beleaguered neighborhoods. Cost: $350 million. Delivery date: 2021. What Chicago actually got was
It was just one week ago that I made a prediction about the Trump administration’s plans to hijack the Federal Reserve. I was discussing how a key Fed official had just unexpectedly resigned. And with Powell’s seat coming open next year, I was pointing out how the administration seemed to be building a
I know it’s cliche, but one of the happiest days of my life was a bit more than four years ago when my daughter was born in Cancún, Mexico. My wife and I chose Mexico deliberately— given all the COVID craziness that was going on (especially in the US), we wanted to be
Did you hear about the crime of the century from this week? A few days ago Vice President Vance joined British Foreign Secretary David Lammy for a day at Chevening House — the stately 17th-century home that doubles as a retreat for Britain’s top diplomat. It turns out that neither Vance nor Lammy
On Friday afternoon last week, the US national debt hit another ignominious milestone: $37 trillion. And there’s absolutely no end in sight. Perhaps the wildest part is how quickly the debt is rising. Just before the One Big Beautiful Bill was passed on July 4th– barely a month ago– the national debt was
Say hello to the new face of Minneapolis politics: Omar Fateh. He’s young, ambitious, and just clinched the city’s version of the democratic primary… which almost assures his final victory. One might assume that winning a mayoral election would require a track record of competence, leadership, or results… But in today’s political landscape,
It wouldn’t be an overstatement to say that global trade is one of the most important issues happening in the world right now. On April 2nd—so-called “Liberation Day”—the President upended decades of established business and trade practices that virtually every major government and corporation on the planet has relied on. All of those
