It reminds me of Bastogne, the Alamo, Thermopylae, and Masada. Those were battles where defenders were crazily outnumbered, but refused to quit. Like Ukraine today. The 101st Airborne, the Screaming Eagles, were surrounded by Nazis in the Belgian town. When the Germans demanded U.S. surrender or face annihilation, Army

Welcome to Tucker Carlson’s lies, part of a continuing series. I can’t help watching Fox News Channel’s highest-rated asset because he is conducting a master’s class in political disinformation, lies and propaganda. His specialty is white lies, misdirection, and walking the tightrope between legitimate opinion and

In war, everyone lies. 500 years before the birth of Christ, military strategist Sun Tzu laid down the pillar principle of deceit in his still-read treatise, “The Art of War.” In addition to tactics such as seize the high ground, retreat when outnumbered, the use of diplomacy and spies, Tzu

I gotta stop doing this. Watching Tucker Carlson, I mean. I got 5 minutes into Tuesday night’s show before turning it off. That’s 3 minutes earlier than Monday. First, the positive. On occasion, Carlson’s essays function on actual government excess. I don’t know if he writes

The war rages on in Ukraine, but Vladimir Putin and Russia have already lost. Not the physical fight — Russia’s armed-to-the-teeth military may prevail on the battlefield -- but Putin has lost the PR war. The world has turned against him. Even his new ally China did not vote with
