Commentary When rich nations fall into recession, their governments do what they can—but after 100 years of socialism (the entire 20th century), those governments know now not to intervene in the economy. To prevent a financial crisis, yes, they loan money to banks, but otherwise, they stay back. Poor nations haven’t learned this. Recession or…

The WEF Wants to Hack Your Brain
Commentary Once an idea reserved for the pages of dystopian sci-fi novels, brain hacking is already here. The elites in Davos appear to be interested in harnessing this technology to further their questionable agenda. At a recent World Economic Forum (WEF) presentation, those in attendance were told that attempts to decode the human brain was…
The Rise and Fall of Communist China: Part 2
Commentary The Chinese regime has been on the rise ever since former President Richard Nixon’s “opening” of China in 1972. Some of the accomplishments of the Chinese—as heavily subsidized by foreign investment over the years—were discussed in part I of this two-part series.

Just How Hard Were We Trolled?
Commentary What if Anthony Fauci co-authored an article on vaccines that would have gotten you and I blocked and banned at any point in the last three years? That just happened.

Is the US Economy Climbing Into a Fatal Stall?
Commentary Everybody loves to see egg all over the faces of experts, but the blowout of the Wall Street consensus forecasting 190,000 new jobs for January by an actual number of 517,000 was more yolk than anyone bargained for. The favored media meme is that unemployment, which was supposed to go up, is instead at…
Chinese Spy Balloons Over America

At any one time, hundreds of jet interceptors, many with nuclear missiles, were on alert around the country to take off within minutes to challenge any unknown aircraft attempting to enter the American Air Defense Identification…
The Victim Card Has No Place in Diplomatic Poker
Commentary Australia’s Foreign Minister Penny Wong has discovered that while playing the colonial guilt card might work well with left-wing audiences, the use of such finger-wagging on the international stage may be a diplomatic failure.

Fathers Losing Even More Ground in the Family Court
Commentary Submissions on the Australian government’s draft Family Law Amendment Bill are due by Feb. 27. There is much to be concerned about in Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus’s draft amendment.
