Western imperialism, Hilton politics, Johnson conservatism

What western imperialism, Ilhan Omar? The Congresswoman does not seem to understand geopolitics very well.

Why Steve Hilton transformed from liberal British conservative to ardent Trumper. It’s about chasing the revolution of political style.

Boris Johnson needs to remember he’s a conservative. The prime minister seems to have forgotten small government idealism.

and.. a guest piece at The Independent

In Washington, the establishment is all in for Boris Johnson. Brexit aside, Jeremy Corbyn is seen as a risk too far.

Ukraine policy, Iran idiocy, China strategy

Trump’s Ukraine call betrays his Ukraine policy. The president had a great record on Ukraine until that phone call.

Iran overplays its hand in Iraq, again. The Iranians think they can dictate Iraqi politics to Iraqis. But Muqtada might have a surprise or two for them.

China’s ludicrous new Hong Kong strategy. It will reinforce the protests it aims to end.

Spain Venezuela, Vindman hypocrites, Visit Georgia

Yes, sanction Spain over Venezuela. The Spanish government continues to support Nicolas Maduro’s child-killing regime.

Criticizing Republicans over Vindman, Democrats are masters of hypocrisy. The Democratic record in betraying CIA officers is a stain they can't ignore.

Trump should visit Georgia - the other Georgia. The small nation is pro-American and needs American support.

Trade deal, Airbnb wars, Brexit election

The Chilean summit is cancelled, but we're still going to get a near-term trade deal between the U.S. and China. The key is that both Trump and Xi need a deal for their own reasons.

First Uber, now Airbnb. How the left is trying to kill of the gig economy with half-truths and open deception.

Brexit and the election. What will each possible outcome mean for the future of Brexit?

British election, Lebanon's lesson, Navy secretary

Americans should pay close heed to Britain's election on December 12th. It will be the most important in many years. If, that is, you care about the special relationship.

Lebanese and Iraqi protesters are proving the great lie of Khomeinism. They are rejecting a corrupt governance model that is built on brutality.

Trump must fire Navy Secretary Richard Spencer. He has manifestly proven he is incapable of leading this most important institution.

Mocking Baghdadi, Eastern Syria, FFF, ISIS Revenge, AND other stories from last week

The strategic utility of mocking Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. ISIS ideology rests on the principle of ordained courage. Baghdadi’s dog-enabled demise doesn’t serve that narrative.

America must decide whether eastern Syrian oil is used by our enemies for evil or our friends for peace. It’s really up to us to pick winners and losers.

Salute the finishers, but remember the finders and fixers. Others must work hard to ensure that counter-terrorism teams are victorious.

ISIS revenge attacks are likely. The terrorist group will want to show continuing energy in the aftermath of Baghdadi’s blowup.

From last Friday/Thursday

What would a Peronist Argentina mean for the Falkland Islands? Likely, more rhetoric and harassment of U.K. interests.

Trump should throw out the first pitch, armor and all.

The president has a role to fulfill.

Lori Lightfoot's Chicago is a warning alarm against Democratic governance. The mayor is making the easiest and most dangerous choices.

Why France is holding out against a Brexit extension. France wants the Brexit issue resolved rather than reverberating.

Trump Syria, SCIF Studpitiy, WeWork Idiocy

Trump's Syria speech was a pageant of absurdities. The president presented reality as it most certainly is not.

Why it's stupid to bring cell phones into a SCIF. The Republican caucus on Capitol Hill needs to attend some remedial security briefings. 

Why on Earth is Soft Bank investing more money in WeWork? The work space firm does not seem to offer a good business rationale for its own existence.

Putin Syria, Boris Brexit, Military Border, Alzheimers Drugs

Vladimir Putin manipulates Erodgan, plays the Kurds, and weakens America. The Russian leader’s new ceasefire deal is a gem.

Boris Johnson throws Brexit back into the EU’s court. Winning one battle in parliament but losing another, Johnson escalates with his opponents.

Yes, the US Military can fire on threatening vehicles. Arguments to the contrary are delusional and at odds with the established situation.

There’s a new Alzhemeirs wonder drug, but hold your excitement. Don’t make America subsidize the world to access it.

Prince Harry. Brexit, Gabbard Russia, Lebanon protests

Prince Harry needs to get a grip or else abdicate. The British royal is trying to have his cake and eat it.

Britain needs an election to resolve its Brexit blockage. There is no obvious way to find a route out of the Brexit mess.

Top Democrats are hypocritical on Tulsi Gabbard and Russia. The congresswoman might support policies in Putin’s favor, but many other Democrats do the same.

Lebanon reverberates under protest earthquake. Those taking to the streets are furious about corruption and mismanagement.

Army UFO, Brexit, Syria Iraq, Gabbard asset

U.S. Army signs contract to study UFO material and make better weapons. Seriously, it’s a strange but exciting time to be alive!

Britain’s huge Brexit Saturday. Boris Johnson faces a last ditch vote to get Brexit enacted.

A tale of two failures: Obama’s Iraq arrogance, Trump’s Syria ignorance. Please don’t confuse the two.

Tulsi Gabbard isn’t a Russian asset. She’s a Congresswoman whose views align with Russian strategic interests. The difference is important.
