Swimming against public opinion, Michael Lind in Tablet lays out the diplomatic and economic case for tariffs. While noting the “chaotic and inconsistent nature” of U.S. President Donald Trump’s trade policy, Lind says tariffs can make a lot of sense, especially when it comes to Chinese electric vehicles. Even Adam Smith, he notes, wrote in 1776 that “There may be good policy in [tariff] retaliations” of the sort Trump is implementing.

Residential School Denialist – “Dad” for Short

The CBC et al have courteously minimized Mark Carney’s father Robert’s long career as an Indian day school principal and superintendent of native schooling programs – presumably to help the Liberal Leader more easily sluff off this “problematic” family history.

An Insoluble Crisis – 97% Gone

Practically from the day Donald Trump entered politics, the Left claimed his vow to halt the flood of drug smugglers and illegal immigrants from Mexico was as futile as it was heartless. But not even two months after Trump’s second inauguration, reports Todd Bensman in The American Mind, the border crisis is effectively over.

Truth: A One-Word Oxymoron

Winston Churchill once noted that “in wartime, truth is so precious that she should always be attended by a bodyguard of lies.” But the UK’s WWII PM always played it straight with the British people regarding the war’s risks, costs and the country’s overall goal. In Racket, Matt Taibbi deconstructs the web of lies Biden Administration officials told the American people, other countries and themselves about every aspect of the West’s escalating involvement in Ukraine – most of all, the Big Lie denying the risk of nuclear doomsday.

The Slavery that Dare Not Speak its Name

In an interview with The European Conservative, author Simon Webb discusses the modern myopia surrounding the enslavement of white, male (and frequently castrated) Christians by Islamic empires throughout history. “It is taken for granted that white people are always the villains of the piece,” Webb says. “This is a pity, for it precludes a wider discussion of the topic, one which might shed light upon the essential nature of slavery.”
