In Japan, a “hikikomori” defines a person who usually has no job, no wife, plays games all day, and has no future.

There are certain things that one does not do, such as to wish death on somebody who is sick. However, as many news reports are communicating, including Townhall.com, a recent statement from Biden about a “death blow” has some talking if he meant this as a misspeak about something else, or an intentional wish on […]
By Theodore Shoebat As hundreds of people have been slaughtered by shelling, as homes are shattered, the empires of old rise, and the world we have become so accustomed to is deteriorating before our eyes.

While a lot of people view the Catholic Church as a ‘stable’ entity in terms of political leadership, the historical reality for most of Church history is the opposite. From approximately the middle of the fourth century until about 1450, the Church’s leadership was characterized by complete instability, and sometimes chaos unlike anything ever seen […]
There has been a lot of talk about COVID-19, and what one can pull from it is that the effects of the disease have had arguably more impacts than the disease itself, since the ensuing shutdowns to economies around the world have forced debts to come due and exposed long-standing weaknesses in the global economic […]
With so much focus on Trump and COVID-19, some have been asking, is it possible that he may have infected Democrat contender Biden?

Shoebat.com noted for years that nationalism was going to be a major trend to watch, especially in Germany, since the growth of Germanic nationalism directly corresponds with increased prospects for war and violence against her neighbors. It is so common that one might call it cyclical. As such, it is going to continue to be […]
One of the statemetns I have made consistently is that Trump does not really have to win most people. In fact, there is a very strong chance that Trump will lose by potentialy double the popular vote from last time. However, this does not matter to the Electoral College.
