Ranking first this last week was the Saker’s discussion of the prospects of a looming war in Ukraine, and the related, possibly disingenuous Internet attacks on Russian President Vladimir Putin by those arguing that he has been too soft in his reactions to NATO provocations.  This quickly attracted nearly 400 contentious comments, totaling over 40,000 words.

Holding second place was Philip Giraldi’s discussion of the strange case of Congression Matt Gaetz of Florida, a vocal Trump supporter now publicly accused of under-age sex-trafficking who claimed he and his family had been blackmailed, with some indications that the case was somehow connected with Israeli activities.

Our third most popular featured article was Fred Reed’s column on America’s current military confrontation with China, and the possibility that war might result, which quickly drew nearly 350 comments totaling over 35,000 words.

Ranking fourth was Andrew Anglin’s discussion of the massive media coverage of anti-Asian violent “hate crimes” in America, noting that although nearly all the attackers have apparently been blacks, the dishonest media still seems to portray the situation upon whites, with more than 300 comments arguing these issues.

Holding onto fifth place in its third week was Mike Whitney’s article on the growing sanctions being visited upon those Americans reluctant to be vaccinated, attracting more than 450 comments totaling over 50,000 words.

Finally, rounding out our most popular featured articles was a discussion of the severe and increasingly hysterical ideological climate of “political correctness” in our academic institutions, with traditional notions of “racial equality” now increasingly condemned as inherently unfair.
