If you can’t trust the Bluehelmets, who can you trust? At UN headquarters there is both irritation and unease over the BBC story. Irritation because officials regard the allegations of gold smuggling in the Congo by Pakistani peacekeepers as rehashed. Unease because, as the head of UN peacekeeping, Jean-Marie Guehenno, put it in a letter […]

Again, I repeat the statement I first made in 2003. Hillary Clinton will be the next president. Those who point out that she can’t win because she can’t get enough delegates don’t understand that the entire purpose of the superdelegates is to shut down the democratic primary process: With neither candidate able to get the […]

A Voice From the Herd moos about the end justifying the means… because it’s for the children, of course: I went at Vox Day for his inhuman attitude towards a phone call from an abused teenager. It appears that the call could be a hoax, even so I think the authorities had to err on […]

Yesterday, David Frum asked “Who is Vox Day?” The answer is: “The guy who is going to metaphorically kick your impolitic and economically ignorant ass, my dear sir.” It’s nothing personal, of course, that’s just how we roll. Frum has no economics training and it shows, as his charge that Ron Paul is “too lazy […]

In China it is known as the “sacred doctrine” and it has become one of the country’s bestselling books. Yet it has nothing to do with the thoughts of Chairman Mao and its teachings have been in conflict with the forces of Communism for generations. Demand for the Bible is soaring in China, at a […]

If a member of a self-declared minority reports a “hate crime” that is enthusiastically covered by the mainstream media, it is a hoax perpetrated by a member of that minority, usually the “victim” who reported it: A firefighter who reported finding a knotted rope and a threatening note with a drawing of a noose in […]
