Belousov said Russia’s gross domestic produce would fall by “a little more than 2 percent” this year. That will be followed by a decline of “no more than 1 percent” in 2023, Belouso... read more

Inquisitions for Good Reasons

The left's irrational attempt to criminalize Trump
Andrew West: Just as the left was preparing yet another round of propaganda aimed at tarnishing Donald Trump’s political brand, the DOJ released a relatively powerful new memo, shedding light on their decision not to prosecute the former President at the end of the RussiaGate ruse. Pundits on the left have been feverishly attempting to suggest that Trump’s storage of government documents at Mar-a-Lago was a part of some outlandish scheme to sell information to foreign adversaries. This notion has become comically common among the liberal media elites. Senator Lindsey Graham even... read more

The drug cartels' uncivil war in Mexico
KPBS: The San Diego-Tijuana border region was jolted just over a week ago, when cartel members launched a campaign of terror on the streets of Tijuana, with vehicles being set ablaze and gunmen blocking major thoroughfares. Residents on both sides of the border were shocked by the brazen attacks, and normalcy didn’t return until days later. But, for those who study the cartels, the actions were part of an all-too-familiar pattern. To comprehend what’s happening now, you need to understand the history of the Mexican cartels, said David Shirk, director of the Justice in Mexico pro... read more
