Many in Washington who are obsessing over the murder of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi are silent on the thousands of civilians killed by US drones and are seeking conflict with Iran. Is this about principles...or just politics?

Silicon Valley used to be technology companies. But it has become the “morality police,” controlling free speech on its platforms.
What could go wrong?
In a speech Monday, Apple CEO Tim Cook said:
De flesta svenskar firar sannolikt Lucia för att det är mysigt och stämningsfullt. Men bakgrunden till festens huvudperson, Sankta Lucia med ljus i hår, är ett helgon som dog för sin kristna tro.
Legenderna om Sankta Lucia handlar om en flicka som levde i 300-talets Sicilien. Hon gav ett löfte om att förbli jungfru och gav bort allt hon ägde till de fattiga.
It is Trump’s misfortune that his Presidency seems to be coinciding with the end to not just ‘any’ super-cycle, but to a turbo-charged, global debt super-cycle.
Till tonerna av Bobby Helms femtiotalslåt ”Jingle Bell Rock” visas vi en nattlig vy över Los Angeles. Det är jul, fastän filmen konstigt nog kom ut i mars 1987. En ung halvnaken blondin, hög på kokain, går ut på balkongen och ser ut över staden. Hon befinner sig högt upp. Efter en kort stund gör hon ett hopp rakt ut i luften, kraschlandar på ett biltak och dör.

This morning I woke up to two news reports in my mailbox that indicated two things to me: Bigotry against Jews can no more nor less be distinguished from bigotry against any other group of people or religion. Sectarianism by any other name is sectarianism. The insistence on making bigotry against Jews (in its sense of sectarianism) a separate or[Read More...]

Près de vingt ans après le lancement de l’euro, le 1er janvier 1999, la situation de la monnaie unique européenne est paradoxale. D’un côté, l’échec de ce projet est patent, étant reconnu par la plupart des économistes compétents, dont de très nombreux prix Nobel. De l’autre, ce sujet est maintenant tabou en France, au point qu’aucun responsable politique n’ose plus l’aborder de front. Comment s’explique une telle situation ?

The rumored demise of the Weekly Standard is yet another of Donald J. Trump’s achievements that will go uncelebrated by his liberal enemies: indeed, they are even now mourning the death of the neoconservative flagship. And of course neoconservatism’s many fellow-travelers are out there with panegyrics. It “stood up for conservative principle” in the age … Continue reading "The End of the Weekly Standard"

Needless to say, the chart monkeys are struggling to get their footing. The S&P 500 closed 2.6% below its 50-DMA and 2.4% below its 200-DMA, but in an end-of-session stick-save it shinnied its noise a hair (o.3%) above the 50-week MA Maginot Line. That is, the market closed at 2696 – eight handles above the … Continue reading "How George H.W. Bush Blew the Peace and Donald Trump Threatens Prosperity"

In spite in a number of signals that the Trump administration has made over the months to indicate that it is prepared to try to take China down alone, the better part of American policymakers have been hard at work behind the scenes, trying to put together a slapdash coalition against Beijing. It’s rather curious that certain American media sources are not even trying to conceal this fact from the general public.

"Trump," Samantha Bee explained on her most recent show, "is a sleazy con man who's been specializing in rich guy crime since the disco era. But law enforcement has always backed off or let him go with a slam on the wrist.

Every summer, the media reports on someone who died after being infected with a brain-eating amoeba. These cases usually occur after a person has visited a pool, waterpark, or a tepid lake. These horrifying infections are exceedingly rare, but they can still occur after a person comes into contact with the amoeba at home. Most recently, a woman died after inhaling a brain-eating amoeba from tap water she used in a Neti pot to irrigate her sinuses.
