- No surprise US patriotism is sinking; Americans at war with themselvesIn this hedonistic ‘Me generation’, Americans are folding up the proverbial flag and checking their patriotic impulses at the door of their diverse agendas. Does the US require a constant enemy to keep patriotism alive?

- Brexit implosion made in Britain... as Johnson blames everyone elseThe political implosion that is Brexit is a legacy of recent and past British lies and imperial malfeasance. Boris Johnson casting blame on Ireland and the EU for his country's woes is just more guff from Perfidious Albion.

- Invite Trump but not Putin? WWII anniversary without Russia is just rewriting historyHaving US and former Axis leaders attend the 80th anniversary of WWII, but not inviting Russia, shows the event in Poland has nothing to do with paying respects to history, and everything to do with present-day politics.
- Turns out Jim Comey is a weasel after all“We are not weasels!” FBI chief James Comey told Congress back in 2016. His behavior outlined in the DOJ watchdog report, as well as the memos he wrote himself about meetings with President Donald Trump, points otherwise.

- Macron plays Russian card as part of strategy to place France at center of international stageMacron’s recent unilateral actions, far from ending any supposed isolation of Russia, are clearly designed to end what has sometimes appeared to be France’s isolation in Europe.
- SJWs vs. reality: Tech conference didn’t fit progressives’ gender fantasy – so they destroyed itModern-day activists show again that they do not care one jot if they decimate beneficial endeavors and strip well-meaning people of jobs for the sake of a cause.
