PUTIN, STALIN, AND FDR

GERMANY HAS WELCHED ON ITS MORAL OBLIGATIONS BEFORE
Prefatory note: Having traveled on business throughout Germany deploying complex information technology projects, I can vouch for the German predilection with rules, process, programs, and structures.

AMERICA’S ADDICTION TO CHINA MUST END OR IT WILL KILL US
China’s handling of the coronavirus outbreak and its aftermath is evidence, if any further evidence is needed, that the totalitarian regime would rather run roughshod over the community of nations and more perversely over its own citizens than to act with the transparency, honesty, and integrity expected of a presumed superpower.

IS THE UNITED STATES AT END OF EMPIRE?
AMERICA’S ECONOMIC PRIMACY IS ON A SLIPPERY SLOPE
America’s economic primacy is pretty much behind us. And, I don’t believe there is any chance of reversing a trend that began thirty plus years ago. The best-case scenario for the nation is to slow the rate of economic decline – never mind social and cultural decline, which are probably lodged in irreversible decay. Read More…

BOOK REVIEW: SEA POWER BY ADMIRAL JAMES STAVRIDIS

THE MASK OF MAYORKAS: MORE DISINFORMATION FROM THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION
The White House Propaganda machine was working overtime when it labeled its choice for Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas, a “Latino.” A good try, perhaps, but disingenuous in the end.
