70-year-old Janet Parvizyar should consider herself lucky— she only got a few bruises and a busted lip when a man with 20 prior arrests attacked her on the New York City subway last month. Less fortunate victims of subway violence— up 66% since 2019— include innocent passengers who were thrown
It’s probably unexpected for me to say this, but Arnold Schwarzenegger perfectly summed up one of the biggest reasons America cannot solve its problems right now. On a recent Jimmy Kimmel appearance, Kimmel tried to bait Schwarzenegger into slamming Donald Trump, but Schwarzenegger took a different approach. He acknowledged that
If the Land of the Free wasn’t already divided heavily along ideological lines, it is even more so after the US military bombings in Iran over the weekend. Even on the political right, which would ordinarily be unified over a US military engagement, there seem to be two distinct camps.
For nearly two decades, organized groups of men— overwhelmingly of Pakistani Muslim descent— have preyed on vulnerable underage girls in towns across England. The British public has lived with the uncomfortable knowledge of the “grooming gang” menace… but weren’t allowed to talk about it. The crimes were horrific. The victims
Yesterday afternoon the US government published its annual report stating plainly that America has eight years left before a major financial crisis. This is not hyperbole. This is not conjecture.

On May 28, 2021, a female student was in her school’s bathroom in Loudoun County, Virginia, when another classmate— a boy who identified as a girl— walked in. School policy allowed students to use whichever bathroom matched their gender identity on any given day. So the boy who identified as
We’ve been extremely consistent—practically shouting from the rooftops over the last year—that there was an absolutely outrageous investment trend that was going to make people who were paying attention a lot of money… and it wasn’t going to last. What we’ve been saying over and over is that gold’s bull
On July 9, 1807, after Napoleon’s crushing victory over an entire coalition of European nations, the King of Prussia was forced to sign the Treaty of Tilsit, formally putting an end to the conflict. The peace treaty was devastating for the Prussians; they were forced to pay heavy tribute and
It wasn’t even twelve months ago that America’ political, economic, and cultural tectonic plates started to shift—finally in a positive direction. Joe Biden’s deteriorating mental condition was put on display for the world to see in his one and only Presidential debate; at the time this looked like the final
It turns out that “Liberty and Justice for all” might just still exist in the Land of the Free. While most of the news yesterday was focused on the nuclear Twitter war between Elon Musk and Donald Trump, the Supreme Court issued a landmark ruling in favor of common sense.
Last week when I wrote about America’s new stablecoin legislation (bizarrely called the “GENIUS Act”), a number of readers wrote in asking me to clarify a comment that I made about the Bitcoin company ‘Strategy’, i.e. formerly MicroStrategy. I explained in the article that I am pro-crypto and have been
