  • Biden promised Sanctions Would Cripple Russia. So How is That Working Out?

    • There are a variety of reasons for the failure of U.S. sanctions, but the primary causes are the miscalculation of Russian resourcefulness and a booming defense industry. As a major oil exporter, Russia has found creative ways to sell its energy products in the international marketplace, establishing strong relationships with China, India and Turkey among others. Incredibly, Russia is still selling some natural gas to European countries, including Belgium and Spain.

  • Ramaswamy Outs Nikki Haley

    • By outing Nikki Haley as just another party hack that benefited financially and abused her political privilege, Ramaswamy has drawn the ire of the party establishment and the donor class. They would rather lose elections than reflect the will of their constituents.
    With that attitude controlling the upper echelons of the party, is there any doubt why we keep losing?

  • Bungling Biden Helps Facilitate the Hamas Attack on Israel

    • Lost in the discussion and teeth gnashing over the Hamas attack is the strange development that occurred immediately prior to the start of the action. On October 3rd, Biden signed off on a $75 million payment to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA). Ostensibly, the purpose of the aid is to provide food and other essential items for the residents of Gaza. However, the organization has a questionable history that includes dealings with affiliates of Hamas and other radical anti-Israel factions operating in Palestinian territories. In 2021, UNRWA’s Deputy Commissioner, Lenny Steinseth, thanked Hamas leader Yahya Al-Sinwar for his “positivity and desire to continue cooperation in facilitating the Agency’s work in the Gaza Strip.”
