We Must Not Take Our Eyes Off the True Threat — China

May 6, 2025/in Demographics, The Economy

By his supreme idiocy, U.S. President Donald Trump has stirred up anti-American sentiment, but largely to the benefit of America’s archrival, China. Read more

The Dangers of a Political Gender Gap

April 26, 2025/in Demographics, Politics

Throughout history, poverty, class and economic self-interest have driven radical political movements. The Bolsheviks harnessed the anger of impoverished workers and peasants to create a movement that controlled the world’s biggest country for seven decades. Read more

California’s Population Bump Won’t Make Up for Its Long-term Slide

April 2, 2025/in California, Demographics

When the U.S. Census Bureau recently revealed a small increase in California’s population, it came as a welcome sign to some that the state was growing again. The data even showed a slightly reduced level of out-migration.

Jewish Geography Points South

March 4, 2025/in Demographics, Religion

You venture to call Ferdinand a wise ruler, he who has impoverished his own country and enriched mine!”

The Ottoman sultan Bayezid II is said to have made this disparaging remark about Spain’s Catholic king upon the latter’s expulsion of Jews and Muslims in 1492. Read more

Immigration the American Way

February 21, 2025/in Demographics, Politics

As the U.S. southern border begins to function once again, it’s time to consider what kind of immigration policy we should adopt. President Trump’s move to deport huge populations, upwards of 10 million just since 2021, could prove to be among the most decisive actions a president has taken in decades. Read more

Democrat Resistance to Mass Deportations Could Push the US to a Civil War

December 13, 2024/in Demographics, Politics

If something approaching civil war occurs in the US, as many Americans now believe, the most immediate cause may be President Trump’s move to deport huge numbers of people, upwards of 10 million just since 2021, who have crossed the border illegally and unvetted. This population swelled as the feckless Biden administration left the border largely unguarded. Talk of resistance to “mass expulsions” is already becoming common in the mainstream media, with some suggesting that migrants will be victims of government “atrocities”. Numerous Democrats, notably Denver’s mayor Mike Johnston, have advanced plans to block federal agents with a “Tiananmen Square”-style occupation. Read more

Jews Are Discovering That Canada’s Multicultural Utopia Isn’t Safe

December 11, 2024/in Demographics, Politics

In the many summers my family spent in Quebec, at the farm owned by my wife’s uncle Morris and his wife Louise, I could see Canada in its best light. Morris, who grew up in the old Jewish ghetto of Le Plateau-Mont-Royal in Montreal, always expressed gratitude to Canada, a country that birthed his own success and provided security his Polish forebears never enjoyed. “Canada,” he would say, almost tearfully, “is a very good country.”

How the Left Betrayed the Jews

November 25, 2024/in Demographics, Politics, Religion

For much of their political history, particularly since the Enlightenment, Jews have identified with the progressive Left. Israel itself, although funded by oligarchs, was launched largely as a socialist experiment, epitomized in the kibbutzim. Read more

The Left’s War on Men is Backfiring Disastrously

November 21, 2024/in Demographics, Politics

Sex is supposed to be fun, and productive, but when mixed with politics it can have some less fortunate societal impacts. This autumn, as the US presidential election moved to its denouement, both campaigns focused largely on their gender bases, hoping to win the chromosomal war.

Elite Arrogance is Fueling the Rise of the Global Right

November 11, 2024/in Demographics, Politics

In a way not seen since the days of Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher and Brian Mulroney, the right is on the march. Donald Trump’s victory Tuesday was the signature event, but also reflective of an already mounting political shift. So, too, are the rising figures in supposedly progressive western Europe including France’s Marine Le Pen, Italy’s Giorgia Meloni, Britain’s Nigel Farage and the Netherlands’ Geert Wilders.
