The latest developments mark a sharp and consequential turn in the conflict. The United States has declared the war “won” while simultaneously abandoning ongoing peace negotiations.

War Update: A Failed Strategy and a Shifting Balance of Power

Rather than weakening Iran, the conflict has arguably strengthened its geopolitical position and expanded its influence across the region. Before the recent escalation, Iran was widely viewed as a regional power with significant influence in the Middle East, but […]

The latest economic data paints a troubling picture for consumers and the broader economy. Inflation accelerated again while personal income declined, creating what is effectively the worst of both worlds for households already struggling with high costs.

Tariffs, Courts, and the Growing Deficit: The Fiscal Fallout of an Illegal Trade Policy
The U.S. federal budget deficit continues to widen at an alarming pace. During the first five months of fiscal year 2026 (October 2025 through February 2026), the deficit reached $1.004 trillion, highlighting the growing fiscal imbalance facing the United States. Now, a major legal ruling on tariffs threatens to add tens or even hundreds of […]
Climate Change: Is It Too Late?
Well, no. It will never be too late. That is the part the ecofascists are depending on. The physics limits warming to roughly +9°C. At that level, much of the planet would be uninhabitable — oceans would rise dramatically, heat extremes would make large regions lethal to humans, freshwater scarcity would be widespread, and agricultural […]
