Reversing Industrial Suicide

Spiked
March 9, 2026
Read The Full Story

Following the loss of 5 million U.S. industrial jobs from 2000 through 2017, Joel Kotkin in Spiked writes of the growing consensus – alone among Western countries, and despite the U.S. left’s hatred of Donald Trump – to revive America’s industries by “reshoring” manufacturing. Today, writes Kotkin, even some of the famously globalist “tech bros” are opening new facilities back home to manufacture tangible, advanced products. One sign of success: China is measurably bleeding in its manufacturing output.

A Man Who’d Do Anything to Evade the Truth

Spiked’s Matt Ridley details Anthony Fauci’s “public-sector version of insider trading.” Subpoenaed by the U.S. Senate to “discuss” the origin of Covid-19, the longest-serving and highest-paid U.S. bureaucrat instead invoked the Fifth Amendment (protecting against self-incrimination) some 111 times. Strange; he’d been pardoned by President Joe Biden. Nevertheless, it’s clear Fauci lied to the American people about nearly everything – starting with Covid’s true origins in the Wuhan lab. Further, his bizarre diary (saved to a government computer) details his “nauseating narcissism and gobsmacking greed,” says Ridley, and shows he cared more about his own fame than about ailing Americans.

The Enemy Within

The invasion of Spain’s Ceuta enclave by 60,000 “mostly young military-age men” from Morocco is a dire warning for America, warns The Federalist’s John Daniel Davidson. Comparing this instance of “hybrid warfare” to the open-borders policy of the Biden Administration, Davidson finds the latter even worse. Unlike the Moroccan regime, which may simply want more land, the U.S. Democrats in welcoming 12 million illegal immigrants were operating “on behalf of the Global South” and “effectively launched a foreign invasion…to wrest control of the country from its native inhabitants.”

Speaking Power to Truth

Benjamin Kerstein, writing for Jewish News Syndicate, notes how many anti-Semites “see themselves as hapless victims of Jew[ish] oppression.” Not since Hitler, who blamed them for all Germany’s problems, have we seen such rampantly self-sympathizing Jew-hatred. These “weeping antisemites,” Kerstein notes, have no time to discuss events in Jewish history – the centuries of persecution, the need for a sovereign homeland for protection – but plenty to brag how compassionate and kind they themselves are. Kerstein ain’t buying it.

The Frigid Isle

Íris Erlingsdóttir shines a light on the world’s first wholly feminized state. Women, she writes in The European Conservative, run everything in Iceland: “the presidency, the prime minister’s office…[the] national state church…schools, municipalities, police…newsrooms and [the] ever-expanding public bureaucracy.” As for the men, Erlingsdóttir observes, they describe themselves ruefully as (bad-taste alert) “pussy-whipped.”
