If you’ve had anything to eat in the last few years, surely you’ve experienced sticker shock. I knew there was something up when I couldn’t do a modest grocery run without my pocketbook being lightened by over two hundred bucks.

Joe Biden’s plan to occupy the White House for a second term has most likely been upended by by Special “Emperor has no clothes” Counsel, Robert Hur. He officially opined recently that the President is too old and his memory much too defective to be tried before a jury.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán set himself a very high rhetorical bar with his speech in Transylvania in July. In one sense it could be seen as a sort of “coming attractions” for his Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) speech in Texas, which he gave less than two weeks later. (more…)

In June 2016, in what seems like light-years away in the continuing coming apart of American society, The Unz Review posted a piece by Israel Shamir, “The Untouchable Mr. Browder”.

Enemy of Vladimir Putin,” which he expounds upon in a 2020, 25-minute audio-only YouTube interview hosted by the University of Chicago. (more…)
