Forget Everything I Said, or Backing Slowly out of the Echo-Chamber

Climate catastrophism suffered a Category 5 event with the recent confessional by Ted Nordhaus, among the world’s foremost prophets of doom, that he had it wrong all along. The models that forecast runaway global warming, Nordhaus writes in The Free Press, assumed simultaneously soaring populations, booming economies and flatlining technological improvement which, Nordhaus has belatedly recognized, simply can’t all occur at the same time.

Greatness Throughout the Americas

Dan McCarthy sees clever strategic calculation in Donald Trump’s seemingly haphazard bullying of Latin America. In going relentlessly after drug-funded thugocracies like Venezuela while buttering up – and if need be propping up – friendly leaders like Argentina’s Javier Milei, writes McCarthy in Jewish World Review, Trump is attempting to shape a Latin America that isn’t “forever plagued by cartels, communists and Chinese influence.”

There Will Be Blood

Victor Davis Hanson draws parallels between the current left-wing violence aimed at derailing the Trump Administration’s policies and the bitter, deadly struggle over Kansas Territory before the Civil War. Then, as now, writes Hanson at American Greatness, Democrats and their allies used threats and blood to pursue a goal – making Kansas a slave state – that they couldn’t achieve via the ballot box. Then, it led to 600,000 deaths.

Toppling a Communist Empire for $2.7 Million

Though widely thought of as focused on waterboarding terrorists or poisoning foreign potentates, it was by smuggling paper that the CIA achieved its most monumental triumph. R.M. Gerecht in a book review for The Washington Free Beacon charts how the late Cold War-era operation to flood Poland with Western books, magazines, printing supplies and audio recordings fatally weakened the country’s Communist dictatorship, setting the stage for the downfall of the entire Soviet empire. Total cost: US$2.7 million.
