Seriously, Just Order the Pentagon to Build the Wall
“Forget negotiating with Congress. It’s a dead-end. Just as he ordered the Pentagon to send the troops to the border, he could order the Defense Department to begin construction on the wall immediately. There’s nothing stopping him from doing so. It’s the only way the president will get the wall.”
Only the Gulf States Can Offer a Solution to the Refugee Crisis (Which They Won’t)
“At a time when Saudi Arabia in particular is seeking to create a grand regional alliance to counter the rising Iranian hegemony, taking an open-handed approach to the refugee crisis being kicked up by Saudi Arabia and Iran’s regional proxy wars is one, sure way to win a major soft power victory in that ongoing struggle. It should also be America’s price of admission for dealing with this alliance: if the Sunni Arab states want American backing for this endeavor against Iran, these states must accept the lion’s share of Muslims fleeing the region’s various civil conflicts.”
The True Ambitions of Russian Foreign Policy
Most Western analysts are incorrect in their view on Russian foreign policy intentions. Very often, they focus solely on Russia’s western side and completely ignore Russia’s Far East. This backgrounder seeks to change that. After all, Russia without its Far East is not Russia. It is Muscovy. And that’s not a country, it’s an existential target.

Making Mexico Pay For the Wall
The Trump Administration has promised to not only build a border wall between the U.S. and Mexico, but that Mexico will pay for that wall. Yet, imposing a tariff would likely cause a global reaction against America and simply taxing remittances is insufficient. Therefore, in my newest article over at American Greatness, I advocate for increasing regulations of U.S. Liquefied Natural Gas exports into Mexico until they consent to pay for the wall.
The Canadian Threat to America
My next article over at American Greatness. Canada, once our bucolic neighbor to the north, has become the land where our greatest foes–like the terrible northern wind–may soon emanate from, due to Canadian Socialist Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s open borders mania.
Just Who Is Coming Through Our Porous Southwestern Border?
The United States has become consumed with the issue of Illegal Immigration. Yet, from 2007-14, Illegal Immigration into the U.S. was at “net zero.” However, criminality (and potential terrorism) increased from 2011-15. This article assesses the security risks posed to America by allowing its southwestern border to remain open to all.
