Latest ArticlesBiden's bad foreign policy dealsApril 14, 2021 • The Washington Times Because Barack Obama struck me as a clever fellow, I never understood why, when negotiating with despots, he failed to utilize the leverage available to him. For instance, he might have said to Russian President Vladimir Putin: "I want to reset our relations, but many Americans haven't forgotten the Cold War. So, I need you to make clear that Russia today isn't just the U.S.S.R. 2.0." To Raul Castro he could have said: "It's high time for us to open diplomatic relations but you know the Miami crowd! If you'll just ease up on dissidents a little, we can meet and go to a baseball game together in Havana, and maybe I'll even have my picture taken under a portrait of Che Guevara!"
The brave few on the front line for freedom deserve America's supportApril 7, 2021 • The Washington Times In this already stormy century, freedom has many powerful enemies, and few powerful defenders. That's not just my impression. "Freedom in the World 2021," a study recently released by Freedom House, documents "heavy new losses" in the "struggle against authoritarian foes, shifting the international balance in favor of tyranny." It reports, too, that 2020 "marked the 15th consecutive year of decline in global freedom." If you care about the outcome of this struggle, you should at least know the names and stories of some of those risking – and in too many cases sacrificing – their lives to keep the flickering flame of liberty from being extinguished.
The end of the rules-based order?
