On Friday, the United States and its NATO allies will meet at Ramstein Air Force Base in Germany to discuss aid for Ukraine. It’s going to be one of the most significant of these monthly meetings, featuring each country’s military chief and civilian defense secretary. For Ukraine, victory may come down to what’s decided during

“Perfectly aligned.” That’s how Japanese Foreign Minister Yoshimasa Hayashi, while meeting with Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Wednesday in Washington, described his country and the United States. The alignment may not be perfect — President Joe Biden publicly referred to disagreements when greeting Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida on Friday — but the relationship

Brian Stelter sighting! The former CNN host resurfaced at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland to moderate a panel on crushing “disinformation.” He made it sound like a European version of his old show Reliable Sources, asking his fellow leftists how they manage a world in which Donald Trump is still proving that “lying

(Reminder: all of the podcast episodes are now in the Kruiser Kabana section of our shiny new podcast page. I will be doing little teaser blurbs here and/or in the Morning Briefing for each new episode.) Because we live in the dumbest of times, leftist idiots have infested some institutions that can’t afford that kind of nonsense, like

If an economist sees the handiwork of God in the economy, does that invalidate his economic arguments from a secular perspective? The great economist Ludwig von Mises, who himself was either atheist or agnostic, noted that: “Many economists, among them Adam Smith and Bastiat, believed in God. Hence they admired in the facts they had

SYDNEY – Last July, the U.S. chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Gen. Mark Milley, visited Jakarta where he said China’s military has become significantly more aggressive and dangerous over the past five years. While the U.S. has seemed fixated on China’s growing verbal threats and military maneuvers around Taiwan, Milley and others, including some in Australia,

Last year, the Supreme Court officially overturned Roe v. Wade, which not only sent the radical pro-abortion left into hysterics, but it also set the stage for a new pro-life movement to emerge. Contrary to the narrative of the pro-abortion left, abortion wasn’t outlawed in the United States — the issue was merely sent back

Retail sales fell 1.1% in December, unadjusted for inflation, with consumers cutting back spending in almost all sectors except food, clothing and hobby stores, according to data from the U.S. Census Bureau Wednesday. Consumers pulled back spending most aggressively on gasoline, furniture and cars, which saw sales flag by 4.6%, 2.5% and 1.2% respectively, the

The bombshells from the Twitter files keep on coming, yet the liberal media elite keep ignoring them. Last month when Tesla founder and Twitter owner Elon Musk began tweeting out former Rolling Stone editor Matt Taibbi’s explosive reporting on how Twitter (under pressure from government agents) suppressed the New York Post’s Hunter Biden laptop story in

As the author of a book called The Worst President in History: The Legacy of Barack Obama, you can imagine how often I’m asked questions like “are you going to write a new version about Joe Biden?” It happens quite regularly, as you can imagine. And in many ways, it is understandable. Though I still

Seemingly every day, there are news reports and political commentators repeating economic fallacies that should have been dead and buried long ago. Unfortunately, these misconceptions are often taken by the public to be true at face value, typically because their frequent repetition has given them an unwarranted sense of legitimacy. It is in fact all

On Tuesday, Fox News’ Special Report covered the dangerous pro-criminal “criminal justice reform” bill that was vetoed by Washington D.C. Democrat Mayor Muriel Bowser and subsequently overridden by the Democrat controlled council. In the so-called reforms, crimes warranting  “mandatory minimum sentences will be invalid except for first-degree murder and those behind bars who’ve served 20

Parece que Telemundo seguirá dando batalla en la Gran Guerra del Latinx tras criticar a la gobernadora de Arkansas, Sarah Huckabee Sanders por prohibir el uso de la palabra inexistente en documentos oficiales, si nos dejamos llevar por el informe ridículamente unilateral que subió al aire el viernes por la noche. El informe ofreció las

As an economic conservative, I do not consider myself a boat rocker. That means avoiding 11th-hour deals to shut down the government and raising the debt limit as a matter of course. No good can come from these battles because all they end up doing is adding or subtracting a couple of zeroes from a

President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice (DOJ) continued its fight to implement a nationwide mask mandate on airplanes and other forms of transportation in federal court Tuesday, according to Reuters. The DOJ asked the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals to reverse a federal judge’s April 2021 decision striking down the mask mandate, according to Reuters. Biden declared that “the

All three evening news networks continued covering the rapidly metastasizing scandal involving President Joe Biden’s irresponsible mishandling of classified documents. ABC’s World News Tonight & CBS Evening News each led with the story, while NBC Nightly News covered it after they did their obligatory panicking over drought-stricken California receiving badly needed rain.  “President Biden today

It’s become quite clear in recent years that the transgender cult is the biggest threat targeting our children. The cult isn’t limited to the United States, but it should come as no surprise that when it comes to transgenderism, there is no country more permissive. We know that school districts across the country have been

Joe Biden and his administration are transforming our country, setting new standards, and redefining essential parameters. We have seen how it is more important to have diversity in our leaders and staff than competence. We have the elderly, people of color, gays, transgender people, and even cross-dressers from the President to Directors in our Nuclear

Late last week, CNN and MSNBC both hyped Democrat complaints about changes to the Missouri state legislature’s dress code, and parroted the liberal spin that women were being unfairly targeted with stricter rules. On Friday afternoon, the CNN duo of Alisyn Camerota and Victor Blackwell gave the story four whole minutes as they also had

Do you remember the good old days when any criticism you’d make of Barack Obama or his policies made you a racist by default? Why am I even talking about that as if it were only in the past? Frankly, you still can’t criticize Barack Obama without the left accusing you of being racist. In

As we enter 2023, there are at least three major problems that economic policymakers will have to deal with. We have high inflation, a likely recession, and a very serious problem with the debt ceiling. Actions will be taken in the next month or so that will impact how severe these problems are. Annual inflation

These people need Jesus.  An “all-ages” drag show event in Dallas had a great audience turnout, including local legislators, parents and children, according to Taylor Hansen of the Texas Family Project.  The event opened with audio that condemned “far-right” protesters who think that drag queens shouldn’t interact with children. Yeah … those crazy right-wingers …

I’m not here to review Velma, the new Scooby-Doo spinoff for adults currently streaming on HBO Max. But I am here to tell you that it’s so bad that lefties who ought to love the show’s woke themes are now claiming the entire thing is an enemy psyop to make them look bad. When I

The Wisconsin State Legislature’s new session will vote on a state constitutional amendment that would allow judges to weigh alleged violent offenders’ past violent convictions in setting their cash bail amounts and change the standard for allowing alleged offenders to be released before trial. Many Democrats have opposed the measure, with state Sen. Chris Larson

Telemundo appears to signal its intent to continue fighting the Great Latinx War by smearing Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ ban of the non-word in official documents, if Friday night’s laughably one-sided report is any indication. Look closely at how anchor and climate activist Vanessa Hauc frames the ban: as an “obstacle affecting the Hispanic

The White House has had a very bad week — so bad, in fact, that they’ve been struggling to keep up with the ongoing classified documents scandal. For example, one Democrat strategist wants Jean-Pierre off the Garage-Gate beat entirely, so it won’t be a distraction at daily briefings. “The White House should consider appointing a separate

A number of years ago, I met Kathryn and Galen. They’d won a contest sponsored by Woman’s Day magazine. The prize? A money makeover and financial coaching with … me! From our first meeting, we became fast friends. Not only were they drowning in debt but Galen was also dealing with a protracted season of

Finally, finally after two recent stories about California Congresswoman Katie Porter first pondering and then announcing her bid for the U.S. Senate, Politico has at last gotten around to revealing the already well known embarrassing employee scandal in her office. A scandal almost as embarrassing as pretending it doesn’t exist as Politico absurdly tried to
