Today, as the killing and destruction multiply in Ukraine, we should look at some of the key lessons that can be gleaned from the record of that war.

The Election Won't Change Much in DC. The Real Battle Is Now in the States.[image: undefined] The votes are still being counted, but one thing is already clear: very little will change in Washington after this election. The House of Representatives will likely be controlled by Republicans, but the majority enjoyed by the GOP in the House will be small. This will provide a veto over some of the worst legislation being pushed by the Biden administration, but history has made it abundantly clear that the GOP is more than willing to compromise and “work with” Democratic administrations rather than simply kill bills.

Oswald Spengler’s *The Decline of the West*, written a century ago, deserves this distinction as it reads like it was done yesterday. The German historian-philosopher wrote in 1922 that the centuries old West-European-American civilization was in permanent and irretrievable decline in all manifestations of life including religion, art, politics, social life, economy and science. For him, the political, social and ideological dimensions of this decline were evident in the failings of t... read more

Only six wolverines are thought to live in Yellowstone National Park. The mammal is a solitary, powerfully muscled member of the weasel family.
