Will Trump Achieve a Golden Age?

On Tuesday, Peter went live with analysis of this week’s major events. Most notably, he comments on Joe Biden’s controversial final acts as president and on Trump’s return to the Oval Office. He also analyzes the prospects for Trump’s second term and bashes the newly-inaugurated president for promoting a new cryptocurrency bearing his name.

Peter slams Biden’s mass pardons, which constitute a blatant abuse of presidential powers:

The problematic aspect of these pardons is people are not being p...

What Comes Next on the Greater Israel Agenda?

The eminent Roman historian Publius Cornelius Tacitus in a biography of his illustrious father-in-law Gnaeus Julius Agrippa famously wrote “Auferre, trucidare, rapere, falsis nominibus imperium, atque, ubi solitudinem faciunt, pacem appellant.” Which translates in the Loeb Classical Library edition as “To plunder, butcher, steal, these things they misname empire: they make a desolation and they call it peace.” Lord Byron, in his poem the Bride of Abydos, rendered the Tacitus Latin as “Mark where...

The Wellspring of Eternity

In the beginning, there was the photograph, and the photograph was still and without life. And the people lined up for portraits saying, “Behold, these photographs are flat and lifeless. We want three realistic dimensions!”

And so two photographs of the same scene from slightly different angles were caused to be placed in a diaphanoscope, and lo! objects looked real and the images had depth. But the people were not satisfied and cried out as one for motion in their pictures.

Then stacks of sligh...

Trump Reveals Plan for the Ethnic Cleansing of Gaza

Well that didn’t take long. President Trump has said he wants to “clean out” Gaza and relocate its population to US client states Egypt and Jordan, which would of course be a textbook case of ethnic cleansing. It would also align perfectly with longstanding Israeli agendas to remove Palestinians from their homeland so that their territory can be seized and settled by Jews.

Speaking with the press on board Air Force One on Saturday, Trump said he talked to Jordan’s King Abdullah II about taking i...

Ukraine – Organizational Chaos, Commanders Fired

The unusual combat organization of the Ukrainian army is taking its toll.

In a classic military hierarchy Corps, Divisions, Brigades and Battalions each have their own staff and responsibilities. The Ukrainian army is using a more flexible but also chaotic structure of Operational Units with less control. The results are unnecessary losses on the battle field.

After the Maidan coup the Ukrainian government designated the eastern Donetsk and Luhansk areas held by separatists as the Anti-Terrorist...

A Cabinet of the Cancelled

Abigail Shrier writes in the City Journal that the members of Trump’s “Cabinet of the Cancelled” understand the danger of government coercion because they have experienced it firsthand.  And so has Trump and thousands of his supporters.

Shrier does a service by reminding us of the intense attempt of the Biden regime to revolutionize our society by attacking our principles and replacing a merit-based color-blind society with a status-based society of privileges based on race, gender, and sexual p...

It’s Palm Beach or Bust for Me

After a long and purple-haired national winter, something good is finally afoot. Something like normalcy is in vogue again; it’s even okay to say it out loud.

Months ago, when our winds began to shift, we never dreamed the dark fog could lift. We could not underestimate the machine. For years, we were trained to be quiet and sit in our collective misery while the crazed Left beat us into submission. We were herded into the dark non-binary universe of third-world encampments and safe spaces.

The CIA Report: Why a Low Confidence Finding Is the Height of Hypocrisy

Every modern president seems to promise transparency during their campaigns, but few ever seem to get around to it. Once in power, the value of being opaque becomes evident. We will have to wait to see if President Donald Trump will fulfill his pledges, but so far this is proving the cellophane administration. Putting aside his constant press gaggles and conferences, the Administration has ordered wholesale disclosures of long-withheld files from everything from the JFK investigation to, most re...

To Make America Great Again, Separate Money and State

“Delivering Emergency Price Relief for American Families and Defeating the Cost-of-Living Crisis” is the title of one of the many executive orders President Trump issued in his first week back in the Oval Office. This executive order directs federal agencies to “deliver emergency price relief” to the American people by reducing federal regulations that increase the cost or limit the supply of healthcare, housing, energy, and other goods and services.

Repealing regulations is an effective way to ...
