We ran into a woman whose husband passed away a few years ago. It would have been her 64th anniversary she said. She was deeply sad and on the verge of tears. I have been in her home and seen the photos. He is still very much present. The love and yes the pain are…

The Illusory Independent Leader History is routinely taught through individual biography: a charismatic leader emerges, an organic resistance movement forms, an exile community organizes, or a dissident acquires international prominence. Western audiences are trained to evaluate these events strictly at face value—focusing entirely on the heroic individual or the spontaneous movement while ignoring the external…

The 1986 conviction of Andrija Artuković in Zagreb stands as one of the last major postwar prosecutions of a senior official of the Independent State of Croatia.  For many, it represented delayed justice against a man long portrayed as the “Butcher of the Balkans.”  The context is the establishment of the NDH (Nezavisna Država Hrvatska,…

Excuse me? Have you seen a genocide around? I was looking for a genocide. No? Are you sure? Because everyone’s saying that… Yeah, everyone’s saying there’s this genocide. Oh, okay. You mean it was just Hamas that invaded Israel, brutally butchered, kidnapped, killed, and burned Israeli citizens. So, 250 hostages, and then Israel defended itself.…

Introduction: When Faith Becomes Strategy Religion is often treated as a private matter of belief: a source of meaning, morality, community, and personal identity. Geopolitically, however, religion can function as something much more consequential.

They unfold through think tanks, foundations, universities, law firms, consulting shops, media organizations, advocacy groups, professional associations, and the networks linking former…

Most people have no idea what the “Seditious Six” video is. It’s DC insiders talking to DC insiders. That’s why it doesn’t land. According to DataRepublican’s research, the November 2025 video that went viral was not the story. It was just the visible tip of an eight-year effort to build a playbook to sideline the…

I’m not here to give you financial advice. I don’t represent anyone. This is just me as a private citizen offering some logical analysis. The Democrats do not control the financial markets. They don’t. But they’re very tight with the media. And there are a lot of reasons that people are concerned about a market…

Four flashing yellow lights for the market: Stocks are priced way higher than what companies actually earn. It’s like paying $50 for a lemonade that usually costs $18. When that happens historically, prices eventually fall back down. A lot of investors borrowed money to buy stocks — a record amount. If prices drop a little,…

I don’t think Jewish people should define ourselves by antisemitism anymore. Our identity is positive, not the result of a negative. But I will say this: Online, there are definitely a lot of bots and extremist haters who say the absolute most vile things to produce the sense that antisemitism is everywhere. In real life,…
