Putin and Xi Chat About Living, and Ruling, for a Long, Long Time
Earlier today, from atop the Gate of Heavenly Peace in Beijing, Chinese dictator Xi Jinping presided over a 70-minute parade to mark the end of World War II, flanked by two other menaces to peace and stability, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin and North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un. It was basically a board of directors meeting for the Axis of the Devils.
The Prospects of a ‘Reverse Nixon’ to Split Russia and China Grow Dimmer
Like Jim, I don’t doubt that Xi and Putin see the world similarly. However, I think there’s a more concrete reason that the Trump administration will find pulling a “reverse Nixon” — drawing Moscow close to Washington to isolate Beijing — so difficult: The Chinese and Russian dictators believe that the Sino-Russian alliance is mutually beneficial. They think that it’s in their interest to form a united front against the American-led free world.
America’s Secret Navy SEAL Mission on North Korean Soil
On the menu today: In a world full of troubles and simmering foreign conflicts, it says something that Kim Jong-un and North Korea have slid to a second-tier issue for much of this year. The North Korean dictator’s sister, Kim Yo Jong, said earlier this year that the “personal relationship between our head of state and the present U.S. president is not bad,” and South Korean President Lee Jae Myung would love to see another Trump-Kim summit. But this morning, the New York Times revealed that back in Trump’s first term, the U.S. was so hungry for insight into what Kim was really thinking that they authorized a secret mission that sent U.S. Navy SEALs into North Korea, attempting to install a listening device. Read on.
Weakening the Baltics
One of the reasons that the West prevailed in the Cold War was the willingness of, above all, the U.S., to play the long game. One small example of that, although it was not so small to the people who lived there, was the American refusal to accept the legality of the Soviet annexation of the three Baltic states, Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia throughout nearly half a century of Moscow rule. So far as the U.S. and a number of other Western countries were concerned, the interwar independence of the Baltic trio lived on, at least legally. As a practical matter, this spared many Baltic refugees from being handed over to the Soviets at the end of the Second World War, and, when these nations eventually regained their freedom, it helped smooth their return to the West.

ICE to Gain Access to Paragon Spyware After Biden Order Dropped
US Immigration and Customs Enforcement is on track to gain access to spyware designed to hack phones and read private messages after the Trump administration reactivated an ICE contract for spyware from Paragon. The Paragon software has allegedly been used to target activists and journalists in Europe, and is designed to hack into mobile phones and secretly record messages sent using encrypted apps such as Signal and WhatsApp. The contract renewal gives ICE a powerful new spying tool in its crackdown on undocumented immigrants, as it attempts to deliver on President Donald Trump’s promise to carry out the largest mass deportation in US history.

Tony DiMare’s family owns 4,000 acres of tomato farms across Florida and California. Sadly, his Florida crops have been mowed over and left to rot, as with many tomato vines across the state. But the reason has nothing to do with growing conditions and everything to do with the economy.

The Tariff Power Still Belongs Only to Congress
For the second time, Donald Trump’s worldwide 10 percent tariff and retaliatory “liberation day” tariffs have been found illegal by the courts. Trump has lost a lot of lower-court cases in the past eight months, and the district courts in particular have been wrong as often as they’ve been right. But in this case, the scholarly opinions of the full, en banc Federal Circuit (which voted 7–4 against the tariffs on bipartisan lines) are well reasoned.

The Dramatic Drop in the Dollar Changes Everything
One of the big market stories this year has been the rally in US stocks. The market surged at the beginning of the year, when investors expected a business-friendly agenda from the incoming Trump administration.

Labor market growth slows dramatically in August with U.S. adding just 54,000 jobs, ADP says
U.S. private sector hiring rose less than expected in August and significantly cooled from the prior month, according to the ADP. Private payrolls increased by just 54,000 in August, well short of the 75,000 estimate from economists polled by Dow Jones and down from the revised gain of 106,000 jobs added in July. Thursday’s release adds to an already concerning picture of the labor market.

Tariffs Were Supposed to Revive US Manufacturing. So Far, They’re Having the Opposite Effect
Although manufacturing activity showed some improvements in August, a survey of manufacturing managers showed that tariffs are pressuring their businesses. Manufacturers said import taxes were impacting supply chains, and the uncertainty of changing tariffs kept many customers from making purchases. Higher material costs caused by tariffs made it more challenging to fabricate products in the U.S., survey respondents said.
Gold: Central Banks Vote with Their Bars
It is not exactly a secret that gold is seen as a “safe haven” investment. This helps explain the increase in the metal’s price, fueled in part by diminishing confidence in the dollar’s ability to fulfill that role. That reduction in confidence has been reinforced by the Trump administration’s policies, most recently the attacks on the Fed’s independence. These have added fresh fuel to the inflation worries that have been tarnishing the dollar’s appeal since the “Biden” era. Aggressive U.S. sanctions policies have also been gnawing away at the greenback’s bolt-hole charm for a while now. The effect of the latter may also be influencing the decision by various central banks to repatriate some or all of their bullion.

Don’t Let the AI Nostalgia Bait Get You
If you came of age in the 1980s and 1990s, you probably encountered the popular culture’s depictions of the tail end of the 20th century. They were, on balance, not good. To survey the cultural landscape, the late ’70s and ’80s were a period typified by rampant drug use, collapsing marriages, street crime, urban decay, and, of course, the Hobbesian social atomization that followed the Reagan revolution. That was, after all, that generation’s experience.
The Hoax that Broke the Conservative Internet
On December 3, 2024, James Lindsay revealed to the world that he had perpetrated a hoax against the nominally “Christian Nationalist” magazine American Reformer in which he had rewritten a significant portion of the Communist Manifesto to flatter their “Woke Right” ideology. In the ensuing days, the hoax has caused quite a stir on the conservative side of the internet, generating a completely unexpected response in which, in addition to deflecting from the hoax and bashing James, many ostensible conservatives launched into robust defenses of Marxist analysis, critical theory, and postmodernism. How good was the hoax, though, and what did it actually say? In this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay reads through a rough side-by-side comparison text he prepared showing how close the hoax actually was so you can hear and decide for yourself. Join him and see if you agree that the hoax was good.
