President Trump’s Role in the Ukraine War

With his usual braggadocio, former President Donald Trump has promised that if returned to the White House he would end the Ukraine conflict within hours and claims, as many of his supporters do, that the war would never have taken place had he been in office.  Like most of his campaign promises during his 2016 … Continue reading President Trump’s Role in the Ukraine War

Pope Francis the Taxman

  On the heels of calling for a Marxist economic conference this coming March (“Economy of Francesco”), Jorge Bergoglio (a.k.a. “Pope Francis”) has once again opined on financial matters.  The purported head of the Catholic Church has now designated “tax cuts” as sinful behavior on a par, apparently, with stealing, lying, and adultery: Today’s structures … Continue reading Pope Francis the Taxman

Pope Francis Calls Marxist Economic Summit

Pope Francis and his mentor As if there needs to be further evidence that the current occupant of St. Peter's Chair in Rome is a Marxist, the announcement of an upcoming conference at Assisi entitled the "Economy of Francesco" should convince any skeptic otherwise. In his invitation letter to "young economists and entrepreneurs worldwide," Bergoglio … Continue reading Pope Francis Calls Marxist Economic Summit

“We’re All Socialists Now!”

Despite being probably robbed of the Democratic Party’s nomination by the Clinton political machine, the success of the Bernie Sanders’ 2016 campaign with his advocacy of “democratic socialism” was an ominous sign of things to come and, in some sense, more telling of the political climate than Donald Trump’s improbable victory in November, 2016.  The … Continue reading “We’re All Socialists Now!”

What President Trump and the West Can Learn from China

Instead of a demonstration of its overwhelming military might intended to intimidate tiny North Korea and pressure China to lean on its defiant communist neighbor, President Trump and the West should try to learn a few things from China. The President’s trip to the Far East came on the heels of the completion of China’s … Continue reading What President Trump and the West Can Learn from China

In Remembrance of the October Revolution

The Communist monster, Vladimir Lenin This October marks the centennial anniversary of the Bolshevik takeover of Russia and the establishment of Soviet-style Communism which tragically, for the Russian people, would last for some seventy interminable years.  Not only did the Soviet regime liquidate and imprison millions, but its idiotic system of central planning impoverished the … Continue reading In Remembrance of the October Revolution

Pope Francis and Libertarianism

  The purported pope of the Catholic Church recently attacked “libertarianism.”  As a number of theologians have ably shown, Jorge Bergoglio, a.k.a Pope Francis, cannot be a legitimate pope since he was neither ordained as a priest or consecrated as a bishop in the traditional Catholic rite of Holy Orders.  And, since he is not … Continue reading Pope Francis and Libertarianism

Why is North Korea Being So Unreasonable?

On April 28, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson told the U.N. that North Korea “must dismantle its nuclear missile programs” before the US “can even consider talks.”* Sounds reasonable. Why hasn’t the Kim Jong-Un regime responded with open arms and shouts of joy for this generous and fair-minded proposal from Uncle Sam? Maybe it is … Continue reading Why is North Korea Being So Unreasonable?

Fidel Castro and the American Empire

The death of the brutal Cuban Communist dictator Fidel Castro closes the door, in some respect, on another disastrous page in US foreign policy history.  For all the denunciations and criticism of Castro from conservative elements and exiled Cubans, his despotic rule was the outcome of decades of American imperialism which began with President William … Continue reading Fidel Castro and the American Empire
