The Battleground of History and PhilosophyWhy is European history and philosophy so rich? Because the European governments have been very rich in the last 500 years. Much of the wealth that the conquistadors and imperialists plundered from the colonies was wasted by the European governments on fighting wars, building palaces and cathedrals, and enabling a lavish and dissolute political culture. A small part of plundered booty went into building new universities and learned societies which started pursuing historical and philosophical research. The history and philosophy that these institutions pursued was intended to propag... read more

We long to be given the next step and the route to the horizon, allaying our anxiety with the illusion of a destination somewhere beyond the vista of our present life. But the hardest reality to bear is that death is the only horizon, with numberless ways to get there — none replicable, all uncertain in their route, all only certain to arrive. Th... read more

Trumpism Is Here To StayIf you were hoping that Donald Trump would go gently into that good night, take a look at a column written by Ron Filipkowski in *The Washington Post*: Not quite a year ago, on Dec. 19, 2020, Donald Trump lit a match. “Big protest in D.C. on January 6th,” he tweeted. “Be there, will be wild!” That night, on the social network Parler, a user posted, “Build the gallows.” No one can draw a straight line from Trump’s tweet to the storming of the U.S. Capitol, but the events of Jan. 6 were born on social media — which makes it a good place to discover what the activists, influencers and... read more

How Biden screwed up the economyCatherine Mortensen: Republicans in the House Natural Resources Committee held a virtual forum this week with small business owners and economists to look at how Congress can address the inflation, supply chain crisis, high energy costs, and labor shortages hurting America’s middle class.

Biden's irresponsible immigration policyWashington Examiner: Unless something drastically changes over the next two months, more than 2 million migrants will have been arrested while illegally attempting to cross the southern border during President Joe Biden’s first year in office. Under Biden’s open-borders policies, hundreds of thousands of these migrants were then released into the United States, often flown at taxpayer expense, to their final destination. There, they will apply for asylum, a process that will take years, and the vast majority of them (more than 85%) will lose their asylum claims. But that doesn’t... read more
