From Start-Up Nation to Platform Nation: Israel’s Real Power in the Global Economy

January 19, 2026

Antisemitic ignoramus Tucker Carlson has been carrying on about how the United States gives so much to Israel and gets so little back. He dismisses it as “a completely insignificant country” with “no resources,” and demands to know, “what are we getting out of this?” In the Free Press, Michael Doran responded ably that crucial […]

Nvidia Entering the Lion’s Den with Groq Megadeal

December 29, 2025

Nvidia built its dominance in artificial intelligence on training workloads. That dominance is visible not only in GPU shipments and software ecosystems, but in the reconfiguration of the memory supply chain.

December 22, 2025

About once per generation, American intellectuals lose faith in liberty and urge us to adopt the statism of our rivals.

August 26, 2025

All eyes are on Nvidia (NVDA), which reports quarterly results after the market’s close today, Aug. 27. NVDA’s quarterlies have become the most closely watched event in technology: Nvidia serves as the bellwether for the entire artificial intelligence (AI) ecosystem as currently established.
