The 1999 NATO bombing of Yugoslavia over Kosovo was billed as a humanitarian mission—a righteous stand against ethnic cleansing in Europe. But behind the moral pretense was something more enduring and more dangerous
The Great Depression and WWII found us rallying behind FDR’s 3,728 executive orders. By 1945, militarily and economically, we were the strongest of all nations. Our smugness generated an 80-year liberal mindset that fostered the belief: What’s Best for Other Nations is Best of Us. Five factors followed:

The latest Consumer Price Index shows the annual inflation rate hit 2.3% in April, less than expected and the lowest since February 2021 — according to a Labor Department report Tuesday. On #MorningJoe, Andrew Ross Sorkin called the U.S. economy “remarkably resilient” and “more flexible than expected,” despite concerns over how Trump’s tariffs could eventually impact spending and consumer confidence.
I am standing at a bus stop in the unrelenting rain. Although to call this a “bus stop” is being generous. It’s just a highway guardrail. I am alone on this empty highway, waiting to catch a ride out of O Cebreiro.
April’s employment figures are robust, despite the usual blare of alarms about a “tariff shock” and “looming recession” from the usual mouthpieces of the clueless establishment.

Unlike multiple other European nations, France is not experiencing power issues. Germany, after pledging to go all “green,” is reactivated shuttered coal plants (perhaps they should not have relied on Russian natural gas imports).

Abstract: During my doctorate in Leadership and Learning in Organizations at Vanderbilt, there were a few readings and discussions over whether there is even such a thing as a “leader” or “leadership”.
