The Biden Administration is crumbling the more the Bidenization of America advances. The country is plunging into disillusioned alarm amid ...Read More...

by Conrad Black The recent actions and revelations of the conduct of Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman General Mark Milley may be the greatest acts of insubordination by a very senior officer in U.S. military history. Milley appears overstuffed in his uniform which is more laden with decorations ...Read More...

Under ...Read More...

by Conrad Black It is not my purpose here to recount to readers as familiar with them as I am the cascade of bad decisions that shamed America in Afghanistan, led to the needless deaths of many people, strained the Western alliance, gravely jeopardized 20 years of social and economic progress ...Read More...

by Conrad Black As we get to the midpoint between the last presidential election and next year’s midterms, all political sides are expending extraordinary effort to ignore the 900-pound gorilla in the formerly smoke-filled room of American politics. This, of course, is Donald Trump.  The Democrats ...Read More...

by Conrad Black This was the most depressingly predictable and redundant federal election within the memory of any living (or dead) Canadian. It was supposed to capitalize upon the government’s professedly brilliant COVID record and enable it to restore its parliamentary majority and then take ...Read More...

by Conrad Black Day by day, as the Biden Administration crashes into utter shambles and a cloud of dust reminiscent of 9/11, the Bidenization of America becomes more stark and horrifying.  I can remember no more pitiful words from a senior American government official in 65 years than Secretary ...Read More...

by Conrad Black As Canada drags itself to the end of one of the most boring and superfluous federal election campaigns in its history, it is time to evaluate the merits of the different parties.

by Conrad Black The greatest significance of the dramatic and evil assault on New York’s World Trade Center and the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., 20 years ago was that it initiated a new form of quasi-military violence against the Western democratic powers that had emerged at the end of the Cold ...Read More...

by Conrad Black As cant and emotionalism subside, it is becoming possible to give a clear and fair assessment of the performance of the Biden Administration and of the president himself: a total failure.  The shortfall of 500,000 in the expected net new job figures for August shows that stagflation ...Read More...

by Conrad Black Pakistani President Imran Khan In the afterglow of the shambles of American and NATO policy in Afghanistan, it is probably a good time to review American strategic thinking in the Mideast and South Asia generally. While the Cold War was in progress and the Nehru-Gandhi Congress ...Read More...

by Conrad Black Maxime Bernier Bleary-eyed and almost gasping for air, I can confirm to the 99.9 per cent of Canadians who don’t read the platforms of political parties at the onset of an election campaign that they are not missing a great deal in profound thought, stylish composition, or uplifting ...Read More...
