The Art in Politics
By Sigrid Weidenweber In the new Democrat Theater of the absurd—a nameless whistleblower with lawyer-scripted complaint—I came, while reading my morning pensum of Wall Street Journal news, upon a truly intriguing and even funny article, astounding in its dramatic perception.

Learning from History | Observations During a Europa Trip (Part IV)
By Sigrid Weidenweber Further travel along the Danube leads to Budapest and Vienna, the two pearls of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

Spotlight | Observations During a Europa Trip (Part II) The Danube
By Sigrid Weidenweber Europe is proud of the Danube. At 1,775 miles long, it is Europe’s longest River after the Volga.

Historical Context | Observations During a Europa Trip (Part I)

Once Again, the European Elites Meddle in the Middle East’s Fate

Germany’s foreign minister was greeted on Monday, […]

On Sunday, June 9, 2019 more than a million people, or one in seven residents in this city, protested in the streets.

Oysters Carrying Herpes Are Slated to Arrive in America

The Democrats in History’s Merciless Eyes
By Sigrid Weidenweber I imagine that in another thirty years historians will, with intense scrutiny, write a review of the Democratic party.
