Rod on the Events and Trends Shaping Our Future
Western Capitalist Countries are the Best Places to be Born a Woman
by Daniel Fernández Méndez May 4, 2018 Many times, when a social problem is closed to being solved or has a positive dynamic that signals that the end is near, it is usually when a great part of the population realizes the mere existence of the problem and organizes...
Putin is no Longer a Geopolitical Chessmaster
by Pavel Baev May 4, 2018 The end of April was extraordinarily rich in high-profile international events—and Russia was conspicuously absent from all these dynamics. The president of South Korea and the North Korean dictator planted a pine tree of peace just to the...

Iran’s Regime Under Siege
by Xander Snyder May 2, 2018 It’s hard to shake the sense that a reckoning is approaching for Iran’s regime. The assaults from abroad are very public. Over the weekend, a suspected Israeli missile strike targeted an Iranian military base in Syria, the second such...
The Sorry State of Evangelical Political Theology
by Thomas Bradstreet May 2, 2018 With the election of Donald Trump, the erosion of evangelical unity around shared political goals has accelerated dramatically. Whatever center or core there once was in the evangelical movement, evangelicalism has splintered into...
Why Nazism Was Socialism and Why Socialism Is Necessarily Totalitarian

The Culture of Death and Growing Totalitarianism

Open Letter From Conservative Leaders: Make Congress Work Again
MAKE CONGRESS WORK AGAIN April 27, 2018 Washington, DC After Congress passed, and the president signed, a $1.3 trillion omnibus spending bill, President Trump made a very clear statement. "I will never sign another bill like this again. I'm not going to...
The Revolution of Kanye West
EDITOR'S NOTE: Some conservatives are poo-hooing Kanye's tweets, on grounds that Kanye doesn't line up as a 100% movement conservative. But they're missing the point. If just 20% of African Americans started voting Republican, the Democrats could never win the White...
Trump’s Revenge on OPEC and Russia
EDITOR'S NOTE: We are not as optimistic as Mr. McQuaid regarding oil's short-term price movement. Global demand is strong and U.S. demand is surging, and in the near term, geopolitical risk continues to drive price upward as well. Nevertheless, the thrust of this...
