What I tell parents of abnormally short children. I’m very short. At my zenith I was 4 feet, 11 inches. From time to time, worried parents of abnormally short children phone or email me seeking reassurance. I tell them that if they or their children are desperate, they can resort to limb-lengthening surgeries, growth hormone […]

The world has gone crazy… but that’s not news, everyone knows that. The news is that we’re paying for this madness with a credit card and feeling almost happy about it. Have you ever noticed: people have stopped looking at each other. On the subway, in cafes, in line at the doctor’s—screens are everywhere. We […]

The Supreme Court ruled that not all tariffs were illegal, and Trump could introduce others, but he can no longer arbitrarily manage tariffs and use them as a leverage tool. The first thing Trump did after learning about the Supreme Court’s decision and insulting the judges was to announce the introduction of a universal flat […]

Marquis De Sade, jailed for his writings, had correctly observed, that whatever he imagined or practiced is dwarfed in comparison with the violence unleashed by the authorities during the French Revolution. I was thinking about this observation in connection with the anger and abuse that the British public along with other self-righteous dopes direct at […]

The Orthodox teaching is that Jesus Christ will return at an unknown time and in a way we are not able to fully understand, to judge the living and the dead. We do not speculate any further about how and when this will take place. Our main concern is to be always ready, spiritually, for […]

The Supreme Court’s tariff decision extends far beyond tariffs. It stops Trump from deciding not to spend money Congress appropriated, and from going to war without Congress’s approval. A 6-3 majority of the Supreme Court decided yesterday that Trump cannot take core powers that the Constitution gives Congress. Instead, Congress must delegate that power clearly […]

Dragunov developed about thirty different models of small arms, which are used by armies around the world. And his brainchild, the SVD sniper rifle, was called by Kalashnikov “the most perfect of all models of this type”. Yevgeny Dragunov was born on February 20, 1920. He lived in Izhevsk. His interest in weapons began during […]

When ashes fall on the forehead, time seems to slow down — Ash Wednesday — a time when we pause and remember — who are we? Where are we going? What are we doing? Ash Wednesday is a time of preparation for Lent in the Western Church, and everyone who comes is anointed with ashes […]

Why is Lenin remembered all over the world? We are told that Lenin is a thing of the past, yet they continue to vilify him, spending millions on books and films that attempt to discredit his name and distort his ideas. Is it just because he was a great revolutionary and the founder of the […]

The brand-new bridge may never open if Trump changes the previously issued permit. The Gordie Howe Bridge is set to connect the Canadian province of Ontario and the US state of Michigan, separated by the Michigan River. This isn’t the only transportation corridor between Michigan and Ontario. In particular, there’s the Ambassador Bridge, but it […]
