Nexus X HumectressBy James Carden, The American Conservative Anyone who has spent enough time in Washington or has even a cursory familiarity with the professional functionaries who staff the foreign policy and national security apparatus here will have encountered, at one time or another, well-intentioned, seemingly humble, painfully earnest bureaucrats […]
Homeless folks are cool. By Rick Moran, PJ Media Echo Park Lake in Los Angeles has been home to thousands of homeless people since 2019. But homeless advocates objected when the city decided to renovate and rehabilitate the park, placing fencing around portions of the lake as the […]
TELOS Press On The Agenda with Steve Paikin, the discussion about governmental responses to the COVID-19 pandemic turned to Thomas Brussig’s recent editorial “Risk More Dictatorship,” originally published in the Süddeutsche Zeitung and translated into English in TelosScope. Listen to the discussion below (beginning at 15:01), and read […]
By Peter R. Quinones As Stateless Productions enters the production phase of our new documentary, “America’s Police Crisis,” I can’t get the subject of police brutality out of my head. When people hear the term “police brutality,” depending on their background, they may start to question whether the […]
By Matt Taibbi The Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) has released a much-hyped, much-cited new report on “Foreign Threats to the 2020 Elections.” The key conclusion: We assess that Russian President Putin authorized, and a range of Russian government organizations conducted, influence operations aimed at […]
This is pretty funny in places. Sky News host Chris Kenny says US President Joe Biden’s first press conference was “a whole lot worse than most of the media would like to tell you”. “Since the press conference, pictures have emerged of cheat notes the president had on […]
Fareed Zakaria must be planning on retiring soon.
During Monday’s House hearing over whether the District of Columbia should become the nation’s 51st state, neoconservative political analyst Bill Kristol offered up quite the head-scratching hot take: Make D.C. a state, and while you’re at it, make Cuba one too. “One reason I’m for DC statehood: The […]
President of the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union, Stuart Appelbaum, discusses updates on Amazon workers’ unionization efforts in Alabama.
As I have predicted, the tech-oligarchs and media oligarchs are starting to eclipse the rest of the capitalist class as the dominant faction in the power elite, although the financial, fossil fuels and armaments industries are still highly significant, of course. The tech-oligarchs and financial industries are primarily […]
So the Republicans are basically adopting the #WalkAway approach: neocon foreign policy and Koch economics, but multicultural and Rainbowized. Team Rising discusses the GOP’s plans to focus on diversity ahead of the midterms.
A predictable liberal internationalist/neocon approach to foreign policy as opposed to Trump’s neo-realist/economic nationalist/only semi-neocon but still hardline Zionist/pro-Saudi approach. Saagar Enjeti explains the negative impacts of Biden’s relationships with the leaders of Russia and North Korea.
This guy’s star has really fallen. Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti react to reports that Gov. Andrew Cuomo arranged for his family members, including CNN’s Chris Cuomo, to receive scarce COVID tests during home visits from NY health staffers.
In this episode of Feudal Future, hosts Joel Kotkin and Marshall Toplansky are joined by Michael Lind. Michael Lind is a professor of practice at the LBJ School. A graduate of the Plan II Liberal Arts Honors Program and the Law School at The University of Texas with […]
By Joel Kotkin, American Mind The Biden Administration is on track to stiff our desperate working class. Bill Clinton may have been lionized as the “first black President,” and Barack Obama actually was half African, but no politician in American history owes more to African-American leadership and voters than Joe […]
Joel Kotkin on the eco-fascist wing of totalitarian humanism. By Joel Kotkin For most people around the world, the Covid-19 pandemic seems a great human tragedy, with deaths, bankruptcies, and fractured mental states. Yet for some, especially among the green Twitterati and in some policy shops, the pandemic […]
Michael Lind nails it again. By Michael Lind, Tablet The bitter debate over lockdowns and mask mandates in America is not just another polarizing culture war between left and right. It also has elements of a class war. But it’s not the class war you might think it […]
Thank you for watching the fully independent Kim Iversen Show.
This is an excerpt from my conversation with Aella.
Today’s episode is a bit different than usual. It’s actually a recording of a talk I gave at Harvard’s Program on Constitutional Government three months ago, entitled The Case for Color-blindness. My talk is about 30 minutes, and it’s followed by an audience Q&A.
Today’s episode is a bit different than usual. It’s actually a recording of a talk I gave at Harvard’s Program on Constitutional Government three months ago, entitled The Case for Color-blindness. My talk is about 30 minutes, and it’s followed by an audience Q&A. Just a warning the […]
My view on China is simply that they’re just another province in global capitalism that largely functions as an economic colony for the hegemonic powers. China’s role in the global economy is to provide cheap labor for Western corporations and cheap loans to Western governments. Its “social credit […]
A social media poster writes: The problem with Keith is he treats idea-sets as if they’re fungible and takes people at their word. He takes the ideological content of things too seriously. Better predictors would be those who said everything will ultimately boil down to biological race. The […]
I could see this becoming a thing. If anti-gun policies get tighter, the pro-gun states could simply say, “Our whole fucking state is a militia! Just like Switzerland.” By Jeffery Collins, AP News State Sen. Josh Kimbrell, R-Spartanburg, left, asks questions of Sen. Tom Corbin, R-Travelers Rest, right, […]
By Güney Yildiz, German Institute for International and Security Affairs Russia and Turkey are backing opposing warring parties in three active conflicts. However, this adversarial positioning has not hindered cooperation between Moscow and Ankara. They reign in opposing sides and, in effect, stage-manage their respective theatres of wars. […]
Almost a year to the day that Louisville police officers killed Breonna Taylor during a no-knock raid, the Kentucky Senate passed a bill which makes it a crime to insult and taunt cops. If S.B. 211 becomes law, you could get up to three months in jail and […]
And what taxpayers can do to stop it.
“We don’t need to use a faulty model and apply it to the very real terrorism problem that we have at home,” says terrorism expert Max Abrahms.
The Polk County Sheriff’s Office says three deputies are facing charges for evidence tampering in relation to a December arrest.
A crack on the right? Fragment, fragment, fragment…
Yes, it is. And the America of Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan can’t die soon enough.
Here it comes. Maybe we’ll see what the “cold, dead fingers” crowd is really worth. By Tyler Olson, FOX Vice President Harris and multiple top aides to President Biden previously said they support mandatory gun buybacks, which would force Americans to surrender certain types of firearms in exchange for […]
Clinton and Netanyahu: A Tale of Two Scumbags.
The recent public shootings will likely be utilized by the Bidenists to expand a crackdown on guns.
If this happens, it will be interesting to witness its political ramifications.
Which is why Systemists are calling for more censorship.
Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti discuss Sen. Tammy Duckworth’s calls for more AAPI representation in Biden’s cabinet.
Krystal Ball explains why Silicon Valley is a perfect breeding ground for sociopaths.
The way I think the gun control issue will play out is like this. The more liberal areas of the US, like large cities and blue states, will continue to impose stricter gun laws over time. The federal government will tighten the laws as well. However, the deep […]
A civil war in the US wouldn’t be regional in the way depicted in that image. It would be more like Lebanon in the 70s and 80s and Syria today. Street by street, block by block, neighborhood by neighborhood, family by family, etc.
Saagar Enjeti explains the long-term mental health repercussions of COVID and lockdowns.
Well, this ought to be a howler. Team Rising discusses this Friday’s Clinton Global Initiative event.
Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti react to Sen. Bernie Sanders’ comments on cancel culture and Trump’s ban from social media.
No. The Republicans are and always have been a “business first” bourgeois liberal party ever since they were founded in the 1850s. Some of their politicians may adopt some faux-populist, faux Christian Democratic, or faux Ordoliberal rhetoric for tactical reasons, maybe throw a few crumbs here and there, […]
Increasing the minimum wage is overwhelmingly popular. The system will have to raise it eventually as a means of pacification for the purpose of deflecting more serious uprisings. Host of the Bad Faith podcast, Briahna Joy Gray, explains why progressive Dems pushed for unemployment benefits over minimum wage […]
Does anarcho-syndicalism have a future? The traditional anarcho-syndicalist position was in favor of “open shop” unionism, which would mean upholding the “right to work,” but I doubt many of today’s “anarcho-syndicalists” would hold to such a view. Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti discuss the latest updates in the […]
Sometimes I get asked questions like “What exactly do you mean by neocons?” I’d say the term “neocons” can be used on several levels. The most narrow level is as a euphemism for the right-wing Trotskyists and social democrats originally associated with tendencies like the Schactmanites, Social Democrats […]
The “War on Drugs” has always been a tool of imperialism and the construction of a domestic police state. The liberal wing of the ruling class may have to decriminalize marijuana in order to pacify its boomer/hippie/youth constituencies and enact very modest “criminal justice reforms” in order to […]
It’s about increasing the size of the Democratic representation in Congress in pursuit of a one-party state.
Years from now, they will probably be talking about the 25th wave or whatever.
