Jeffrey T. Kuhner Herman Cain continues to soar in the polls. In some, he is leading the presumptive front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination, Mitt Romney. What accounts for Mr. Cain’s meteoric rise? He is the anti-Romney. The media class despises Mr. Cain. The establishment GOP and some neoconservatives dismiss him as a lightweight. Both […]
Lev Navrozov In 1949, Mao named his country the “People’s Republic of China.” Historically, China had practically no foreign visitors, just as practically no Chinese had visited the outside world.

NEW YORK — A crucial defense dilemma is looming under the radar screens, both over the Taiwan Straits and the Potomac; namely seriously upgrading Taiwan’s aging jet fighter force against a fast rising military threat from Mainland China. While Beijing’s double-digit military spending is now focusing on high-tech sophisticated fighter aircraft, tiny Taiwan still relies […]
By Sol Sanders The cacophony from the left [and its politically correct mainstream media mirror] calling for amity, negotiation, compromise and immediate action to solve the current crisis is not only hypocritical and insincere but ahistorical. The American Republic was born and nurtured in conflict, not only on the battlefield but also in the world […]
By Jeffrey Kuhner Is America in its twilight years? Patrick J. Buchanan argues it is. Americans, especially conservatives, should heed his warnings. The very future of our republic is at stake.
