After May, George Galloway, Biden China

Rating the 10 Conservative MPs vying to replace Theresa May. Here's my take on the best bet to be next prime minister.

George Galloway reminds us he is an antisemitic prostitute for Putin. The former parliamentarian is a disgrace.

Joe Biden's shift on China is welcome but must be matched by more than words. Biden cannot replicate his former's boss's policy.

Ivan Golunov, American fascism, Hong Kong, USS Chancellorsville, Lesbian attack, D-Day

Ivan Golunov and the anatomy of Russian corruption. The journalist's arrest reflects the deep rot of corruption in Russian politics.

Fascism, and why Hillary Clinton needs to read more history. The former Secretary of State is silly to warn of encroaching fascism in America.

China, Hong Kong, and America's better international order. The truth of American leadership is measured by the costs of China's policy.

And... at 4m16s mark my appearance on Fox News Special Report from last Friday.

Oh, and three articles from Friday which I didn't post:

The USS Chancellorsville incident, or how Putin is sucking up to Xi. The alliance of Putin to Xi's belt road is quite striking.

Why the attack on a Lesbian couple in Britain is a big deal. The importance of London's tourist trade is such that the Police had to investigate aggressively.

Vox is wrong, Trump was the right person to deliver the D-Day address. The president is not wrong to complain about European security spending.

Putin DDay, modern DDay, Taiwan arms, Parkland officer, WW2 history, Trump UK

How Vladimir Putin uses D-Day to his own advantage. The Russian leader uses tropes of history and ideological impulses among his population to further his own interests.

Would Americans support a modern D-Day. If we had to fight the Chinese or Russians over beachheads, what would Americans say?

Let China complain, the U.S. should approve a new arms sale to Taiwan. The Chinese only have themselves to blame for new American support to their enemy.

The Parkland school police officer is a scapegoat. Why didn't his leadership take steps to put someone suitable on the watch?

Russia's foreign ministry spokeswoman needs to learn some more WW2 history. The Soviet war machine was not as instrumental to victory as she pretends.

Trump's U.K. trip will earn him slightly improved poll ratings in Britain. The president did a good job in staying classy with the royal family.

D-Day killing, YouTube Nazis, FT China, Sanders economics, DARPA website, Trump protesters

D-Day and the morality of bloody killing. The operation to liberate Europe required a moral dispatch of many Germans.

YouTube is wrong to remove Nazis and demonetize Steven Crowder. There is value in allowing maximal speech on its platform.

The Financial Times mindlessly endorses Xi's propaganda. On what planet can it be said that America and not China is responsible for this showdown?

Walmart, and the Bernie Sanders school of Chernobyl economics. Sanders is a moron on economics.

Why does DARPA put so much online? The DoD should re-read operational security.

Here's how we know many anti-Trump protesters are actually anti-American. The flags on display prove the reality.

Star Trek, UK visit, Secret Service

Why Star Trek needs a new Worf show. The Klingon character is made for 2019.

Trump is winning in the U.K., so far. The president has observed diplomatic protocols.

Why the Secret Service Hawkeye team is unlikely to be in the UK. The counter-assault team is normally replaced on U.K. operations by British special forces.

Kim Yong Cool, Harvard Angela Merkel, Disruption Trump visit, Democrat tax plans

Kim Yong Chol's demotion would be very good news for America. If the hardliner-in-chief adviser has been sent to a gulag, that's a ray of hope for U.S. diplomacy.

Harvard entertains the delusion of Angela Merkel's liberal world order. The Chancellor's words are of shallow meaning.

Democrats want to tax the wealthy but not in blue states. It's a tale of two hypocrisies.

Expect low-level disorder during Trump's state visit to Britain. The protective environment will be impressive, but the protests will be significant.

Everest, Chernobyl, HOI4

Everest the mountain of heroes is becoming the monument of fools

HBO's Chernobyl offers five lessons. From statecraft, to the Cold War, to history

Hearts of Iron IV is broken by its new naval system

Illinois tax, Chris Cillizza, Avigdor Lieberman

Illinois plans to self-destruct. The state’s new tax plan is quite mad.

Why, in 50 words, Chris Cillizza is wrong about Mueller’s statement. Mueller wrote a long report.

Avigdor Lieberman is right about ultra-orthodox military service. Israel requires full conscription.


And finally, my Special Report appearance yesterday:

UFOs, Tariffs, Idlib, Michigan

Why the UFO story is more interesting than you think. Here are four reasons to pay close attention and an open mind to what is going on.

Tariffs on China will cost Americans but Americans must suck it up. The US government has a responsibility to challenge Chinese aggression.

Trump must threaten Putin with sanctions over Russia’s bombing of Idlib governate. The Russian attacks are evident war crimes.

Conservatives need John James to run in Michigan. The former Senate candidate represents a much needed brand of young, dynamic conservatives.
