If the economy is so good, why do small business leaders feel so bad? (Snip) Amazingly, CEOs of small companies are even more fearful of the future today than during the COVID-19 pandemic, when most businesses were shuttered. “Smaller businesses are being crowded out by complex regulations and direct competition from the $35 trillion national debt,” Malpass concludes. “The Treasury borrowed $23 trillion in 2023 alone, much of it in the expensive short maturities needed by smaller businesses for working capital.” (Snip) “Our members feel as though Biden has declared war on small businesses,” Ortiz said.

Rainer Zitelmann's book, How Nations Escape Poverty, is particularly interesting for American veterans who served as G.I.s in Vietnam or for those who may have lost their fathers or family members in the conflict. The irony of history is that the communists initially won — however, upon establishing their socialist regime across Vietnam, they came to realize what a huge mistake they had made. Today, young Vietnamese in particular admire the USA and capitalism. (Snip) Zitelmann describes how Vietnam, the poorest country in the world in 1990, overcame poverty and became a prosperous country by abolishing the planned economy and introducing private property rights.

Happy Passover, the holiday when American Jews attempt to pass over an Ivy League campus and British Jews attempt to pass over a Central London thoroughfare. (Snip) What Germany was to the Jews of a century ago, America is today. New York is the world's most Jewish city, and Brooklyn is famously the most Jewish place on earth, with more Jews than either Tel Aviv or Jerusalem. As in Germany, Jews are the businessmen, brain surgeons, physicists, film producers. I take it as read that the day is fast-approaching when London, Paris, Toronto, Copenhagen will be Jew-free. But New York?

Former British Prime Minister Liz Truss spoke Monday at The Heritage Foundation about how the United States and the United Kingdom are facing very challenging forces in the global Left, not just in terms of their extremist activists, but also in the power they hold in our institutions. (Snip) She warned that conservatives must create a stronger infrastructure to take on the Left—which is well-funded, activist, and has many friends in high places—by recruiting more conservative activists and candidates who can fight in the trenches in the ideological war that we now face. Excerpts from her remarks are below.

On October 20th 2022 Liz Truss became the shortest serving Prime Minister in British history. In power for just 45 days, she was forced to resign following her first and only mini-budget. In stepped COVID Chancellor, arch-globalist and Roland Rat impersonator Rishi Sunak. The Establishment line was that Truss and her equally short-lived Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng had made a catastrophic economic blunder which spooked the financial markets and caused a run on the pound. (Snip) Here is what Truss said her aims as Prime Minister were. She said she had tried to deliver: “…a vision for a low-tax, high-growth economy that would take advantage of the freedoms of Brexit.”

On Monday, I journeyed from Israel to Brussels for the two-day National Conservatism conference where I was due to speak this morning. I travelled from one war zone. I hadn’t expected to be entering another. National Conservatism, a movement underpinned by the thinking of the Israeli-American philosopher Yoram Hazony, promotes the nation state and the defence of its historic values against the nihilism of the post-moral, anti-western and anti-human ideologies that pass for much progressive thinking. This mainstream position is denounced as “far right” by left-wingers who use this smear to denounce anyone who dares oppose their agenda of destroying the western nation and its historic culture and values.

Soon the government might shut down your car. President Joe Biden's new infrastructure gives bureaucrats that power. You probably didn't hear about that because when media covered it, few mentioned the requirement that by 2026, every American car must "monitor" the driver, determine if he is impaired and, if so, "limit vehicle operation." Rep. Thomas Massie objected, complaining that the law makes government "judge, jury and executioner on such a fundamental right!" Congress approved the law anyway. A USA Today "fact check" told readers, don't worry, "There's no kill switch in Biden's bill." (Snip) The clause is buried under Section 24220 of the law.

What a day this has been. I never imagined that I would witness the banning of a peaceful political meeting in a supposedly free and democratic country. But that’s what nearly happened today in Belgium — in Brussels, the capital of the European Union. I say “nearly,” because despite the attempts by the municipal government, aided by the police and urged on by Antifa, the National Conservatism conference went on, though in a much constrained fashion. After having two venues cancel on us at the last minute, under pressure by both the mayor of Brussels, and two district mayors, police entered the Claridge event space with the intention of shutting

Bear with me as I explain how the arrogant b****** King Charles has stolen one-third of the wealth on this planet, the holdings and donations of every church, temple, sangat and mosque and bent it to his malignant, destructive, egomaniacal, silly, unscientific, nonsensical purpose. (Snip) Charles is the head of state in 15 countries, more than one-third of the world’s population, 2.5 billion people. (Snip) Over the ensuing five decades, St. George’s, for such is it called, under the then-Prince of Wales with his father, has been transformed into something quite other, an outfit meant to promote Philip and Charles’s deep passion for “conserving the earth.”

“I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.” ― Albert Einstein Screw the meek, the nerds have inherited the Earth, Bill Gates thought as he finally emerged from his bunker a year after the nuclear holocaust destroyed the world. Well, not completely but all the good parts were gone. Bill had watched the destruction via satellite. The bombs made such a great show that Bill had his assistant, Leonardo, who he had hired away from Clyde Crashcup, replay the bombings with the 1812 Overture as the audio. The world as we knew it was dead.

Most news outlets rely on The Associated Press style guide—officially known as the AP Stylebook—as the arbiter for grammar, spelling, and terminology in news coverage. While AP puts forth its style guide as an impartial rubric for fair coverage, its rules often exclude conservative views from the outset. Take AP’s latest round of updates, released Friday. (Snip) Yet one of the largest sections of the updated style guide involves “climate change,” a term that AP says “can be used interchangeably” with the term “climate crisis.” “Climate change, resulting in the climate crisis, is largely caused by human activities that emit carbon dioxide, methane and other greenhouse gases into

I have long predicted that normalizing transgender surgeries would be followed eventually by doctors intentionally disabling patients with Body Identity Integrity Disorder (BIID). These patients obsess that their “true selves” are quadriplegic, or amputees, or blind, and they yearn to be made that way. It is a real and anguishing condition. Some are now even calling the affliction “transable” (get it?). Well, here it comes. A doctor in Quebec “treated” a BIID patient by amputating two of his healthy fingers. Otherwise, the patient was threatening to mutilate himself. From the National Post story: The fact that there were only two fingers involved in the Quebec case, as opposed to
