Media outlets often claim Americans are wealthier than Europeans, but it's not true. Average wealth looks high, but is skewed by extreme inequality. US median wealth is quite low. This is the real data.

It is often said that the United States is the richest country on Earth. This is a myth.
It is certainly true that, in the United States, there are some very, very rich people, including the wealthiest billionaires on Earth, and the first ever trillionaire (Elon Musk).

A failed war does not end when the drones stop flying. It creates a new danger: A government that refuses to admit defeat and a president who, having failed abroad, seeks muscular victories elsewhere.
The war against Iran is a case study in the limits of military power, the dangers of presidential overreach and the enduring wisdom of the Constitution's separation of powers.

I was a fan of the sitcom Barney Miller. My favorite character was Detective Arthur Dietrich, who was played by Steve Landesberg. What I remember were his very dry comments delivered in a deadpan, monotone. (see Best of Dietrich)
Det. Dietrich came to mind while I was watching conversations with Nathan Cofnas. He is the controversial Jewish-American philosopher of biology who outed the youngest black professor in the history of Cambridge, Jason Arday, as an academic fraud.

Soviet... histories of the war.... stated that the "ruling circles" in Britain and the United States wanted Germany and the Soviet Union to exhaust themselves "in heavy and bloody battles."..... The delay (of D-Day) was presented not merely as logistical difficulty but as a deliberate policy to let the Red Army do most of the dying and then li

Do you remember that line ? It was spoken by The Chimp (he will always be The Chimp) 25 years ago, in the aftermath of what we were assured was a dastardly sneak attack by "Islamic terrorists" on the World Trade Center towers in Manhattan and the Pentagon in DC. What ensued was 25 years of terrorism, perpetrated by The Chimp and his successors upon the American people.

Last Monday, a day before the Republican-controlled House passed a resolution condemning socialism, the Pentagon's Office of Strategic Capital announced that it had acquired a 35 percent stake in North American Blue Energy Partners, one of Venezuela's largest private oil producers.
In the deal, the Venezuela government gives the company a hundred years lease for some oil fields.
La confrontation commerciale entre les États-Unis et le Canada s'est encore intensifiée après l'entrée en vigueur, le 8 septembre, de nouveaux droits de douane canadiens visant 27,6 milliards de dollars canadiens de produits américains, soit environ 20 milliards de dollars américains. Ottawa entend ainsi répondre "dollar pour dollar" aux tarifs imposés par Washington depuis le 22 août, tout en refusant de céder face à la pression américaine.

Une nouvelle attaque menée par Ansarullah au Yémen a endommagé trois installations de production pétrolière en Arabie saoudite. La raffinerie d'ARAMCO à Jizan, d'une capacité de 400 000 barils par jour (b/j), a été mise hors service. Les cours du pétrole brut ont augmenté :

Le Canada applique depuis le 8 septembre des droits de douane sur 27,6 milliards de dollars canadiens de produits américains. Washington répond par de nouvelles interdictions d'importation et menace l'accès des entreprises canadiennes aux marchés publics. Ottawa refuse de céder et cherche à réduire sa dépendance envers l'économie américaine.

I spent the past weekend as a participant in the annual Ron Paul Institute conference that takes place in the Washington area, in northern Virginia. This year the theme was "Front Row at the Revolution" and the circa 500 attendees that filled the Hilton Hotel ballroom certainly got what the gathering's theme sought to deliver.
The socialists didn't radicalize the Democrat Party; they simply inherited a party that had already radicalized itself.

The primaries are over, and the November general election looms.
Suddenly, the Islamo-socialist podcaster Hasan Piker-who is now infamous for blaming America for 9/11 and warning Jews that "someone's going to come around and take action, not against the state of Israel, mind you, but against American Jews"-is persona non grata on the Democratic stump.

The American people are not merely dissatisfied with Washington. They have concluded that the government itself is corrupt. A new Gallup poll found that 89% of American adults believe corruption is widespread throughout the government, the highest reading in the 20-year history of the survey. This is no longer a fringe position dismissed as a conspiracy theory.

One of the things I like to do is understand the minds of our lefty friends. If you have studied The Science, you know that socialism doesn't work; the administrative state doesn't work. And last week, with the Clancy decision, we learned that feminism doesn't work.

As the US prepares to mark 25 years since Sept. 11, 2001, Donald Trump has removed top Al Qaeda figures from the US list of designated terrorists. Among those he delisted was Abdullah Muhaysini, a Saudi cleric who recruited child fighters and teen suicide bombers to wreak havoc across Syria.
The administration of President Donald Trump has removed the names of some of the world's most notorious commanders, recruiters and financiers for the Syrian branch of Al Qaeda from its list of specially designated terrorists.

En 1975, encore sous le choc de l'embargo pétrolier arabe de 1973, le président Gerald Ford a signé la loi sur la politique énergétique et la conservation de l'énergie (Energy Policy and Conservation Act).

"Les récits soviétiques... de la guerre... indiquaient que les "cercles dirigeants" en Grande-Bretagne et aux États-Unis souhaitaient que l'Allemagne et l'Union soviétique s'épuisent "dans des combats acharnés et sanglants"...... Le report (du Débarquement) était présenté comme une simple difficulté logistique, mais aussi comme une politique délibérée consistant à laisser l'Armée rouge subir la plupart des pertes, puis à limiter l'influence soviétique d'après-guerre.

L'administration Trump fonce tout droit vers l'abîme, et il est peut-être déjà trop tard.
En apprenant la défaite dévastatrice subie par l'Union lors de la bataille de Fredericksburg en décembre 1862, Lincoln aurait déclaré : "S'il existe un endroit pire que l'enfer, c'est là que je me trouve".
Cette bataille, livrée le 13 décembre 1862, fut un désastre pour Lincoln, déjà soumis à une pression immense en raison de mauvais résultats électoraux et de l'enlisement du conflit dans l'Ouest.
