ANALYSIS – LONG OVERDUE – The new Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government will soon be investigating federal agencies that have abused their power and violated Americans’ rights. The spotlight should be especially focused on those federal agencies in the law enforcement and intelligence arenas. As I have repeatedly argued, this subcommittee is long overdue and badly needed, as the always-growing behemoth that is our federal government has, in recent years, been fully weaponized for partisan gain and abused citizens of all stripes. The active partisan involvement by the FBI in helping cover up Hunter Biden’s laptop,…

ANALYSIS – The ‘Woke Wars’ at the Pentagon will be heating up now that Republicans have taken over the House of Representatives, but few know how bad the problem is. And what exactly do we mean by ‘woke.’ Well, to me, woke is a catchall term invented by the left to describe a full spectrum of leftist and socialist agendas. Among them are diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), better described as DIE. DIE includes Critical Race Theory (CRT), anti-white racism, extreme feminism as well as the radical transgender agenda. All flow from the Frankfurt School of modern socialism and intend…

ANALYSIS – THE NEW SUPERPOWER – India, with its steady population growth, will soon officially become the world’s most populous nation on earth. This, as China’s population has begun to shrink. Even though India’s population growth has slowed since 2011, India’s population is projected to pass China’s 1.4 billion sometime this year. In China, some one million fewer babies were born in 2022 than a year earlier (9.6 vs. 10.6 million), the lowest level since at least 1950. Meanwhile, almost a million more people died than were born (10.4 million). China’s working-age population (16 to 59) has also dropped from 70%…

ANALYSIS – After months of reluctance, the U.S. and Germany reportedly plan to send their top-line main battle tanks to Ukraine, in what Kyiv hopes will be a game-changer on the battlefield. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, who was under increasing pressure, announced the decision to send 14 Leopard 2 tanks – and allow other countries to send theirs, too – at a cabinet meeting on Wednesday. Poland had previously stated it would send some of its Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine with or without Germany’s permission. Team Biden has also announced plans to send 31 M1 Abrams tanks. The $400…

ANALYSIS – The unprecedented NATO proxy war against Russia in Ukraine is necessary and strategically important. Despite some overall quibbling, and German weakness, the West has come together to stop naked aggression in Europe. And that is a good thing for all the aggressors and rogue regimes of the world to see. The West should show the same resolve in any potential Chinese attempt to strike Taiwan. But there needs to be a division of labor. This is why Europe must fully take the lead in facing Russia in Ukraine to allow the U.S. to lead in facing China. While I may have questioned,…
