Thucydides Trap Big moves are being made to embrace Xi’s totalitarian leadership and throw Bidenism into the dustbin of world history. France, as I mentioned a few days ago, has pivoted off the U.S. dollar, made LNG deals with China, and now their WEF leader Macron is heading to China to kiss Xi’s scepter of NWO supremacy along with EU President Ursula Von Der Leyen, according to Reuters.….. The European Union is about to abandon their alliance (or allegiance) with United States. Working out a deal with Xi is in their long-term best interests - but it has to be...

@marklevinshow Ukraine’s in trouble! Russia must be beaten back!

A detention lieutenant was fired from the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office in Texas for attending the Trump rally in DC on January 6, even though she never entered the Capitol. Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar, who fired Roxanne Mathai for attending the rally, campaigned for Joe Biden during the 2020 election. Mathai had posted about being at the rally on social media, but never entered the building. She even specifically posted that she had no desire to enter the building and break the law. Though she was simply exercising her First Amendment rights and attending a rally hosted by the...

(Reuters) - A U.S. judge on Wednesday ordered the release of a prominent member of the far-right Proud Boys group while he awaits trial on charges stemming from his role in the storming of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6. Calling her decision a “close call,” Chief Judge Beryl Howell in Washington said the U.S. government failed to show that Ethan Nordean posed such a danger to the public that he must be jailed while his case unfolds. During the court hearing, Howell said federal prosecutors had “backtracked” and failed to substantiate allegations that Nordean was a ringleader of the...

Joe Biden, at a campaign event today said, "There's never been a day in the last four years I've been proud to be his vice president."

Joe Biden's zig-zagging odyssey on Iraq is a variable primer on how the political class reinvents itself depending on the current pulse of the battlefield, both overseas and in D.C. “I am very optimistic about — about Iraq. I mean, this could be one of the great achievements of this administration.” Joe Biden, February 12, 2010. Just Politics?All politicians hedge and backtrack, as the daily news proves their previous assertions and boasts wrong. That somersaulting is part of American politics. But even the most astute triangulators know when to go silent, especially in the age of the Internet when one’s...

Earlier this month, Vice President Joe Biden was explaining the administration's efforts to work with local governments to distribute stimulus money. The law doesn't give the federal government the authority to force cooperation between states and municipalities, he said, but the administration was trying to—well, best to let Biden's statement speak for itself:

Try this on for size: Palinism. What is it? It is an updated version of McCarthyism, which takes its name from the late Sen. Joseph McCarthy, the Wisconsin liar, demagogue and drunk, and means, according to Wikipedia, "reckless, unsubstantiated accusations, as well as demagogic attacks on the character or patriotism of political adversaries." As far as we know, Sarah Palin is not a drunk. But she certainly shares McCarthy's other attributes -- and this one as well: the ability to drive the debate. In McCarthy's day, it was anti-communism coupled with national security, and it hardly mattered that he frequently...
