Conversation with a Media Icon: Dr. Roberto Savio
ROME, Feb 07 (IPS) - We are sitting in the heart of Rome, Via Panisperna, where Dr. Roberto Savio has had his office for the last 58 years. His energy and activity, both mental and physical, belies his age. At 87, he walks the 7 kilometres from his house to his office building and climbs two flights of stairs to reach his office. When I caution him about the traffic on the roads of Rome as he walks home every evening, he is very relaxed about it. “Look here, Rome is over 2,000 years old, and these roads were meant for pedestrians, not cars.” Read the full story, “Conversation with... read more

The left resorts to slurs rather than dialog with opponents
Vasko Kohlmayer: When thousands of truckers drove toward Ottawa in protest against the vaccine mandates, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau described them as “the small fringe minority” holding “unacceptable views.” As the movement gained momentum and the truckers were joined and cheered on by scores of their compatriots objecting to Canada’s regime of Covid oppression, Trudeau implied that they were racists and Nazis.

The sugar runs out
At the beginning of January, I posted my economic forecast for the world economy in 2022. I argued that, although the major capitalist economies were likely to expand during 2022, real GDP, investment and income growth was likely to be much slower than the fast rebound in 2021 from the global pandemic slump of 2020. Last year had seen a leap back, as economies reopened after the first and second COVID waves of 2020. In the major economies, especially the US, that rebound had been helped a significant injection of easy credit, zero interest rates and considerable fiscal spending. ... read more

In announcing his retirement from the absurdly powerful U.S. Supreme Court during a press event at the White House, the gabby octogenarian Stephen Breyer recently held up his pocket copy of the U.S. Constitution and waxed sentimental on the greatness of the nation he loves.

Defending Biden's goofy energy policy?
Sullivan and Biden are just wrong on energy. Their focus on so-called "clean energy" is a strategic sinkhole. Wind and solar are inefficient and unreliable. Even Europe has learned its lesson on those energy sources and is more focused on natural gas and nuclear energy. What Biden has done is enrich Russia by limiting the supply of oil and gas pushing up the price and in effect funding Russian aggression in Ukraine and elsewhere. Biden has also made Europe more vulnerable to Russian energy supplies by embracing the Nordstream pipeline instead of using US LNG. Biden's energ... read more

The Covid despots of the left
Red States: Bill Maher has been on fire lately in terms of his critique of COVID restrictions and the liberal establishment. Two weeks ago, he had on Bari Weiss, who excoriated the restrictions and how much they had hurt kids — she called it a “catastrophic moral crime.” Last week, Maher himself tore into the left and how they had “gone mental” with their crazy policies and rules. Maher said Americans were just tired of Democratic rules — even before COVID came along. Democrats have become a parody of themselves. Just making rules to make rules because it makes you feel like yo... read more

History lesson: Putin warned west about U.S. missile deployments
' *FRN* 2016 St Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF), Vladimir Putin urged international journalists to report genuinely on the impending danger that is a nuclear arms race. Back in 2007, Putin informed the Western world that Russia will develop its defensive weaponry to counter US advances eastward. This was stated in response to the US 'missile defense' MD system in Europe that was being developed at the time (and previously prohibited in international law.) In 2002, the United States unilaterally and without consultation with Russia, withdrew from the landmark... read more

Hemispheric Gangsterism: The US Embargo Against Cuba Turns 60
It all seems worn, part of an aspic approach to foreign policy. But US President Joe Biden is keen to ensure that old, and lingering mistakes, retain their flavour. Towards Cuba, it is now 60 years since President John F. Kennedy’s Presidential Proclamation 3447 imposed an embargo on all trade […] read more

Biden search for black woman Supreme Court justice trouble
Nicholas Rowan: ... It was enough of a headache to get Breyer off the court, but finding a replacement for him will be even worse. There are not that many black women in the upper reaches of the federal judiciary, and those who are could be tough sells for centrists in both parties. And Biden’s campaign promise is not the sort that he can quietly take back. The administration has repeated it over and over again, and when Breyer made his intention to retire official, the promise became the central focus of what is shaping up to be a bitter fight in which racial identity is pitted... read more

Biden's open borders is a boon for cartel fentanyl imports
*Epoch Times:* *Border Patrol Union: Lucky If We Seize 5 Percent of Fentanyl Pills Coming Across Border* Biden's open borders policy is directly responsible for the deaths of young people who are victims of this dangerous drug that the cartels are bringing in along with illegals. It is another deadly aspect of Biden's soft-on-crime approach at the border. See, also: *New Cartel Killing Field Found in Mexican Border State* read more

Accidents will happen
I accidentally listened to Nick Robinson grilling James Cleverly on the Today Programme one morning last week. As others have mentioned a few trillion times, surely opposing the government is the role of Her Majesty’s Most Loyal Opposition and not the role of the Beeb. Maybe someone could remind Nick Robinson that the BBC is not yet officially amalgamated with the Labour Party? Or am I missing something? ll I was surprised to see this programme at lunchtime the other day, while the TV was accidentally tuned in to the BBC. I hadn’t come across Jiyar Gol before.

President Biden Wants to Build an Army of IRS Auditors
*Peter Suciu* *Internal Revenue Service, * The proposal could lead to an additional 1.2 million IRS audits, nearly half of which could hit middle class families making less than $75,000. While few people like paying taxes, they are necessary to keep the country running. Unfortunately, many Americans try to skirt the system, and they aren’t just big-name actors or deceased New York tycoons. That is exactly why the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is ramping up its enforcement efforts this year. One part of President Joe Biden's Build Back Better initiative was an effort to require ... read more

Biden soft on crime by illegals
Washington Examiner: What exactly does an illegal immigrant have to do to get deported by President Joe Biden? Because apparently, vandalizing Union Station in Washington, D.C., with swastikas isn’t enough. Last month, swastikas were drawn near entrances to Union Station, just blocks away from the U.S. Capitol. The usual suspects instantly blamed former President Donald Trump for creating an environment in which white supremacists feel free to intimidate minorities. As usual, that wasn't it. Surveillance cameras helped nab the real culprit — Geraldo Pando, a 34-year-old illegal... read more

I learned about my government, its politicians, and military leaders. I learned about the lies, the high explosive and chemical bombings, our superior fire power, villages bombed and burned, the payoffs we made to our ranking Vietnamese allies and the reasons for our losing the war. The enemy fought to unite their country and... read more
