In a famous Supreme Court one-liner, reminding the legal community of the finality of the court's rulings, the late Justice William J. Brennan Jr. is reputed to have said that the Constitution means whatever any five of us say it means. This reflects the basic math that five is a majority of nine. It also reflects the theory of realism in constitutional jurisprudence.

Once upon a time there was a magical little country named Lebanon. It was created by French imperialists out of the post-World War 1 wreckage of the Ottoman Empire as a mountainous stronghold for Levantine Maronite and Orthodox Christians.
Imperial Russia sought to assert its influence as defender of Lebanon's Christians. The British and French thwarted Russia's efforts and created two new states, Syria and Jordan.

For the Ukrainian people, the offer is rather simple - kill off your men and women, give your children to NATO occupation forces who will take them away forever and import migrants in exchange. Such a deal is certainly a no-brainer for those with no brains.
The NATO-orchestrated Ukrainian conflict has triggered a profound demographic implosion, marked by massive casualties, near-constant emigration and a rapidly declining workforce.

According to research at Brown University's Watson School of International and Public Affairs, Washington's 21st century wars in behalf of the Zionist agenda of Greater Israel have cost American taxpayers about 10 trillion dollars. Twenty-five percent of the US national debt, the interest cost of which is approaching one trillion dollars annually, is the price imposed on Americans by Washington fighting Israel's wars for Israel.

From the outside, we fail to perceive the metamorphosis of the United States: in four months, it has changed its political ideology (it is no longer "Jacksonian"), its military doctrine (it no longer applies the "Rumsfeld-Cebrowski" strategy), and its faith (it no longer believes in the plurality of religions). We are publishing a study on this transformation, which compels us to completely revise our perception of this country.
Globalism is the philosophy of liars.

rish farmers and truckers are blocking major thoroughfares as part of growing protests against their government's mass immigration policies, "green energy" regulations, and "climate change" taxes. Miles-long convoys of German drivers have blockaded the streets surrounding Chancellor Merz's residence in Berlin to demand his removal from office.

Saturday we commemorated the anniversary of the Great San Francisco earthquake and subsequent fires.
This year, on the final day of February, another tremor struck. Or, rather, was inflicted. The epicenter was an unstable seismic zone half a world away.
But this shock came from above. The U.S. government's sneak attack on Iran unleashed a potential economic calamity, perhaps precipitating global fuel shortages, travel restrictions, and widespread famine.

On Friday's episode of the Peter Schiff Show, Peter walks listeners through a mix of geopolitical flare-ups and what he sees as reckless monetary policy. He ties headlines out of the Middle East to market moves, argues that the Federal Reserve's balance-sheet expansion is quietly inflationary, and contrasts profit-driven private enterprise with costly government-run alternatives.
If Trump Derangement Syndrome exaggerates faults, Trump Devotion Syndrome does the exact opposite. At the present moment, it may be the more dangerous of the two.

Probably my earliest recollection of Donald Trump was his cameo in Home Alone 2. Years later, I recall seeing fragments of the TV series The Apprentice. Unlike many others at the time, I found him too abrasive and impertinent.
Ramona Wadi, 21 avril 2026.- "L'Europe est le plus grand soutien du peuple palestinien", a déclaré hier Kaja Kallas, Haute Représentante de l'UE, devant le Comité de liaison ad hoc. Cependant, malgré l'évolution des positions de certains pays européens vis-à-vis d'Israël, principalement due aux répercussions économiques des attaques US-israéliennes contre l'Iran, Mme Kallas ne peut affirmer que l'Europe soit le plus grand soutien du peuple palestinien.
Rita El Jammal, 22 avril 2026. Alors que le cessez-le-feu au Liban entre dans son cinquième jour, l'armée israélienne étend son emprise sur les villages frontaliers du sud du pays, profitant de l'accord pour contrôler des zones qu'elle n'occupait pas avant l'entrée en vigueur de la trêve, intervenue dans la nuit de jeudi 16 à vendredi 17 avril.
Parallèlement, les Israéliens intensifient les destructions systématiques et les déplacements forcés de population dans le cadre d'une politique de la terre brûlée pour créer une zone tampon.

Quelles règles serait-il préférable d'adopter face aux tensions et disputes internationales dans lesquelles se trouve le monde ? Changer de voie n'est pas simple en ces temps-ci, entre des porteurs puissants de projets parfois très singuliers, qui devisent comme si de rien n'était de l'énergie atomique, dans un contexte déjà plutôt tendu.

Europa o Eurasia ? Cosa sceglierà Nikol Pashinyan ? E cosa dovrebbero fare le organizzazioni eurasiatiche se optasse per Bruxelles?
Recentemente, la Russia ha chiarito all'Armenia la necessità di una scelta esistenziale: Unione Economica Eurasiatica o Unione Europea. Non si tratta semplicemente di un'osservazione tecnica, bensì del riconoscimento tardivo di una realtà politica che non può più essere ignorata: l'Armenia non si comporta più come un alleato affidabile all'interno dell'architettura eurasiatica.
