The Nightmare Nickel: 5¢ of Government Waste = $17.7M a Year
The humble nickel has become a casualty of the green energy boom… The U.S. nickel has been the Mint’s quiet nightmare, the raw melt of these coins is very simple math, now costing 13.78 cents to produce and distribute, it’s worth more as scrap than money, a financial loss per coin that’s been transpiring since […]
The Only Time The Washington Post Style Section Wrote Anything Good About Roger Stone
Surely there are defendants more self-conscious and image-obsessed than Roger Stone, who is on trial in federal court in Washington on charges of lying to Congress and witness tampering, but none could possibly take greater delight in transforming the daily slog through the courthouse doors into their own personal fashion show. Stone, who was an […]
The Vindman Brothers and the Ukraine Hoax
The Vindman brothers slithered into the bloodstream of the American government with the quiet subtlety of an infection. Alexander Vindman and Yevgeny Vindman, identical twins born in Soviet Ukraine in 1975, arrived in the United States as toddlers and grew into two of the most self impressed bureaucrats ever to contaminate the White House National […]
The Case for Pardoning Former President of Honduras Juan Orlando Hernandez
I took a particular interest in Hernandez’s case because of how his situation mirrored mine. Last week, President Donald Trump made an announcement that rocked the foundation of Honduran politics when he said he was issuing a pardon for the country’s former President Juan Orlando Hernandez (JOH). True to his word, Hernandez was released from custody […]
The Rigged Trial of Juan Orlando Hernández and the Case for a Pardon
Last Friday, November 28, President Donald Trump pardoned former president of Honduras Juan Orlando Hernández. The mainstream media has systematically ignored the overwhelming evidence that the charges against Hernández were politically motivated and that he endured what was essentially a Soviet-style show trial, in which he was convicted solely on the basis of testimony from […]
The Bannon Betrayals: A Study in Mendacity and Moral Decay
I have publicly challenged Steve Bannon to a boxing match, a fair contest of fisticuffs, a test of courage and stamina in which I am confident I will win. Before we descend into the cavern of Steve Bannon’s duplicity, let us begin where Bannon least expects it. I have publicly challenged Steve Bannon to a […]
Thanksgiving: Why It Is America’s Foundational Holiday
How the Pilgrims’ courage, faith, and hard-won lessons still shape the American character. Thanksgiving is really the holiday that made the other American holidays possible. Were it not for the Pilgrims having courage, absolute faith in their cause and calling, and the willingness to sacrifice and risk everything, they never would have attempted to cross […]
The Money Mystery Out of Ukraine Has Finally Arrived… and It’s Plated in Solid Gold
This November, while Ukrainians face 12–16 hour blackouts and burn furniture for heat, NABU wiretaps expose Zelenskyy’s close associate Tymur Mindich, the 45-year-old Kvartal 95 co-founder, bargaining over 10–15% kickbacks on Western aid meant to shield the power grid. For four years, Americans watched billions of their tax dollars disappear into a war led by […]
The Bannon Problem: Betrayal, Judgment, and the Company He Keeps
I want to return to what I wrote last week about Steve Bannon which, for me, sits at the center of the moral and political fracture that ultimately made silence impossible. It is not rumor. It is not gossip. It is not something whispered in dark corners. It is material that has been publicly reported, publicly discussed, and […]
The eccentric Citroën that saved Charles de Gaulle’s life
A planned assassination on the French president’s life in 1962 became a mere attempt thanks to the DS’s unique suspension. The rear window shattered and bullets rattled around the bodywork of the Citroën DS as the chauffeur floored the accelerator. A world-weary President Charles de Gaulle is reputed to have muttered, “Not again,” but this time, it was serious. […]
