The WHO Does Red China’s Bidding: How the CCP corrupted the WHO

The World Health Organization serves as the directing and coordinating authority on international health work. According to its organizing principles, it connects 194 member states, partners, and people to promote health, keep the world safe, and serve the vulnerable populations. U.S. voluntary funding given to the WHO has dwarfed China’s contributions, yet China exercises out-sized influence on the WHO.

A story the media won’t cover

Pravda reported, “Ex-deputy head of Zelensky’s office remanded in custody with bail set at $447,000.”

AP reported nada. In fact, Grok said in the wee hours of this morning, “No major US news outlets appear to have reported on the arrest (or court-ordered pre-trial detention) of Irina Mudra as of August 26, 2026.”

So I am stuck relying on Russian propagandists for information. Isn’t that swell?

Fixing The Golf Rift Between The Professional Golf Association And the Renegade LIV/Saudi Arabia Sovereign Wealth Fund Imbroglio: A Solution For The Supporting Public Part 3

Which Arnold Palmer wanted nothing to do with. In truth it was an ill-thought-through idea that would not demonstrably benefit the members of the most dominant tour in the world that all golfers aspired to that Palmer had been instrumental in building, the PGA tour: Why mess with a winning formula?

If I Were Dr. Evil: I’d Skip the Shark Death Ray and Start Three Wars

If I were Dr. Evil, I wouldn’t build a death ray—I’d build three crises. Light up the Middle East, keep NATO and Russia occupied in Europe, then watch China eye Taiwan while America tries to put out three fires with one garden hose. The nightmare isn’t one enemy defeating America; it’s several adversaries realizing they don’t have to take turns.

The Principles of Javier Milei’s Revolutionary Success

Libertarians and limited government/free market-oriented conservatives should be thrilled about what is happening in Latin America generally and in Argentina in particular. The latter lit the fuse to the Revolution that is now engulfing the former.

Some New Life in the Uranium One Scandal: Could there POSSIBLY be an Iranian connection?

The Uranium One scandal was a 2010 controversy in which the Obama administration approved the takeover of Uranium One—a Canadian company with significant uranium mining assets in the United States—by Russia’s state-owned Rosatom corporation. Critics alleged a pay-to-play scheme, pointing to large donations (roughly $145 million) to the Clinton Foundation from individuals connected to Uranium One and its investors, as well as a $500,000 speaking fee paid to Bill Clinton by a Russian bank involved in the deal.

“Trump’s Luck” Explained: When preparation meets opportunity

There is an old formulation, often attributed to the Roman philosopher Seneca, that luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity. It is a useful lens for examining the last eighteen months of the Trump administration, because it exposes the intellectual laziness — and, more often, the cynical political motive — behind the Democrat-media complex’s favored explanation for nearly every Trump-era success: that he simply got lucky.

Australia’s Thirty-Year Experiment in Turning Rights into Permissions

Australia’s latest firearm reforms raise a question that reaches far beyond guns: when does regulation become permission? Thirty years after the Port Arthur reforms, law-abiding Australians who followed every rule are discovering that Parliament can simply move the legal line beneath their feet. Yesterday’s registered property can become today’s prohibited property—not because the owner changed, but because the law did. Supporters call it public safety. Critics see a government that increasingly decides what citizens may own, what it’s worth, and under what conditions they must surrender it. The real debate isn’t over rifles. It’s over whether rights are inherent… or merely temporary permissions granted by the state.

Trump Delays 50% Tariffs on Canadian Products

The Trump administration delayed 50% tariffs on billions of dollars of Canadian products for three days, saying the two sides had reached a tentative agreement to resolve a broader trade dispute that had plunged relations to a fresh low. President Donald Trump announced the decision less than two hours before the tariffs were set to take effect. Bloomberg’s Derek Wallbank reports.

Trump Shouldn’t Rush Iran Strategy: Rep. Issa

Republican Congressman Darrell Issa of California reacts to President Trump’s threats against Oman, saying the President’s comments should be taken “in context.” Issa describes the confrontation with Iran as a 47-year problem and says Trump shouldn’t feel pressured to resolve it on a political timeline, arguing that appearing to be in a hurry would play into Iran’s hands. He also discusses conditions aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln as the USS George Washington makes its way to the region to relieve the carrier. He speaks with Kailey Leinz and Joe Mathieu on the late edition of Bloomberg’s “Balance of Power.”

Australia, Firearms, and the Canary in the Coal Mine

Australia’s latest firearm buyback isn’t just a debate about guns. It’s a debate about the relationship between citizens and the state. Supporters see a legitimate public safety measure. Critics see a government placing a price tag on a fundamental human right: self-defense. The controversy reaches far beyond firearms and into larger questions about media, regulation, taxation, and the expanding role of government in modern democracies. Whether Australia represents a successful model or a warning sign depends entirely on where you stand. But the canary in the coal mine has already begun to sing.
