Being an American is a wonderful thing. It means inhabiting a vast nation whose habits, inventions, and tastes shape the world. But that creates an illusion that everything in the world is about us. And it’s not. Especially these days when we often resemble a declining power. The battle between Russia and Ukraine is not…

The Biden administration keeps touting electric cars even though hardly anyone can afford them and the chip shortage continues because of our dependency on Asia in general and China specifically for tech components. If you loved the previous disruptions of China’s COVID shutdowns, enjoy this latest one. Mainland China is facing its worst Covid-19 outbreak…

 Judge Christopher Cooper isn’t just an Obama judge, he was on the Obama transition team. And he’s still acting like it. Cooper complained that the Durham filings had created a “sideshow” and actually urged the team to correct “misrepresentations”. A federal judge delivered a warning to special counsel John Durham on Thursday after recent court…
