“As I wrote last month, Trump has led us into a path of chaos, and as I predicted, the mutual agreement lasted five minutes, and the Strait of Hormuz is still not moving trade. Both sides accuse the other of breaking the ceasefire in bad faith. This war risks dragging on longer than most Americans will tolerate.” (07/15/26)

“British Steel has been taken into public ownership in what the government said was a bid to ‘protect UK steelmaking’. The future of the steelworks, which employs roughly 2,700 people in Scunthorpe and supports many other industries in north Lincolnshire, has been dogged by uncertainty over recent years. ‘Today’s decision secures the future of steelmaking in the UK, protects skilled jobs and safeguards a vital national capability,’ Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said. The UK government took control of British Steel operations in Scunthorpe last year, though it has since remained under the ownership of the Chinese firm Jingye Group.” (07/16/26)

Many ways have been sought and tried to limit the power of government, to prevent the rise of the all-powerful state. However, humans are perversely ingenious and are inventive when it comes to enslaving their fellows. And usually in convincing the slaves that they are still free.” (07/15/26)
