• UK Supreme Court Rules That the Legal Definition of a Woman Is Biological, by Paul Craig Roberts

    The Unz Review - Apr 17th 2025 12:00am EDT

    The UK Supreme Court has ruled that in British Law the terms “woman” and “sex” are biological terms and do not include men who identify as “transgender.” The Court ruled that people with “transgender recognition certificates,” whatever that is, are excludable from biological single-sex spaces. There are interesting aspects of this case that deserve comment….

  • Put the Liberals Last This Election, by Joel Davis

    The Unz Review - Apr 17th 2025 12:00am EDT

    The election is only a couple weeks away, and the prevailing mood seems to be a general lack of excitement for any party or candidate or policy. Australia is in a rapid state of decline in both individual quality of life and general national strength, yet there is no real challenge to the status quo…

  • the Angels of Deliverance – Are Trump and Witkoff Rolling the Stone Away?, by John Helmer

    The Unz Review - Apr 16th 2025 12:10am EDT

    It’s Easter for Christians, and President Donald Trump’s message is a religious one.

  • What Can We Expect from the Peace Negotiations?, by Paul Craig Roberts

    The Unz Review - Apr 16th 2025 12:05am EDT

    Are the peace negotiations leading anywhere we want to go, or are they leading nowhere, or to more conflict? If I had to bet, I would pick one of the last two choices. Most likely more conflict. It is a tendency of peace negotiations to go nowhere except to a ceasefire that is immediately broken….

    Dissociated Press President Donald Trump has ordered Harvard University to increase its current 1000% overrepresentation of Jewish students to “at least a million gazillion percent” or lose nine billion dollars in federal funds. “We must fight antisemitism at Harvard by ensuring that Jews become even more grossly overrepresented than they already are,” Trump announced in…

  • Is Trump Using the “Nuclear Talks” as a Pretext for War with Iran?, by Mike Whitney

    The Unz Review - Apr 15th 2025 12:10am EDT

    Here’s what the media is not telling you about last Saturday’s nuclear negotiations with Iran: There were no negotiations. Not in the conventional sense of the word, at least. What actually took place was more akin to a late-night comedy skit than a gathering of diplomats hammering out a deal on nuclear enrichment. At no…

  • Donald Trump’s Looney Tunes Trade Policy, by Ron Unz

    The Unz Review - Apr 14th 2025 12:00am EDT

    In an amusing display of British pride and solipsism, the venerable Times of London once ran the headline “Fog in Channel – Continent Cut Off.” Overly arrogant individuals sometimes find it difficult to recognize that they are not the center of the universe, and that instead they might actually be considerably less large and powerful…

    The Unz Review - Apr 13th 2025 12:05am EDT

    The Associated Press, like the rest of the presstitutes who are anti-Trump, report all news falsely in order to undermine Trump. According to the AP presstitutes Bernard Condon and Stan Choe, Trump is causing the US to lose its reputation as a “safe haven.” Their evidence is a “freak sell-off of ‘safe haven’ US bonds…

    The Unz Review - Apr 12th 2025 12:00am EDT

    It is said, “each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way,” and so it is with France and Algeria. Relations between France and Algeria have recently deteriorated due to a combination of diplomatic disputes, immigration policies, and historical grievances. France’s 132-year rule of Algeria, ending in 1962 after an eight-year war of independence, still…

  • Confederacy Reborn, by Hans Vogel

    The Unz Review - Apr 12th 2025 12:00am EDT

    Contrary to what many seem to believe, it just may be that Donald Trump is not so much the man who personifies what is Faustian, but in the first place the resurgence of the old American South, the Confederacy. Trump’s fight to drain the swamp and Make America Great Again can be interpreted as symbolic…

    The Unz Review - Apr 11th 2025 12:02am EDT

    Kiev breaks energy ceasefire five times in 24 hours. And these violations of the agreement are on top of previous violations. So why is Russia complying with a non-existent ceasefire? If Kiev will not comply with a partial ceasefire, why would Kiev comply with a full ceasefire? How can Trump expect Putin to agree to…

  • The Tariff Issue Again, by Paul Craig Roberts

    The Unz Review - Apr 11th 2025 12:00am EDT

    The whore media is doing its best to misrepresent the tariff issue and to cause hysteria that causes stock market volatility and fears of world recession. One of the anti-Trump propaganda ministries that poses as financial media went so far as to claim that Trump has caused a “regime shift whereby US Treasuries are no…

  • Trump Concocted the ‘Tariffs Hoax’ to ‘Decouple’ with China, by Mike Whitney

    The Unz Review - Apr 10th 2025 12:02am EDT

    The Trump tariff extravaganza was never about trade deficits, reindustrialization, or bringing jobs back to America. It was always about China. Now that Trump has either eased or lifted the tariffs on 90 other countries, we can see what’s actually going on. Trump is using the ‘tariffs smokescreen’ to implement his decoupling policy, a strategy…

  • The Boundless Power of Black Privilege, by Tobias Langdon

    The Unz Review - Apr 10th 2025 12:00am EDT

    Here’s a fascinating new concept: the one-off rape. It’s a rape committed in a moment of aberration by a special kind of man who is otherwise entirely respectable and worthy. Obviously, then, the man doesn’t need to be seriously punished or censured for the rape, because he has never raped before and he’s never going…

    It is all a part of the same phenomenon.

    Americans have become so accustomed to living under tyranny that they are probably incapable of recognizing tyranny. Once upon a time, April 15 was the annual day of infamy.

    The tariff controversy is being colored in the most scary ways possible, because the Democrats, media, and ruling establishment want rid of Trump. It is also important to understand that tariffs are not the only way to limit imports. There are other means, such as quotas. Quotas on imports into the US of Japanese cars…

  • Ultimately, It Wasn’t Communism or Capitalism But Jewish Supremacism That Undermined Western Nationalism, by Jung Freud

    The Unz Review - Apr 7th 2025 2:26am EDT

    One could make a theoretical case of Marxism or communism as having been opposed to nationalism. After all, Marxism developed as an international movement linking the ‘workers of the world’ against their oppressors, i.e. if capitalists exerted their influence on a global scale, then workers too had to think beyond ‘petty’ national interests. In theory,…
