Why Critical Thinking Is Disappearing – The Rise of Collective Stupidity

In a world overflowing with opinions, algorithms, and noise — why is clear thinking vanishing?

This video uncovers the uncomfortable truth behind the disappearance of critical thinking and the rise of what philosophers now call collective stupidity — a condition where we stop questioning, start conforming, and lose our capacity for truth without even realizing it. Continue reading

Why the Left Hates America’s Founders: Education!

Alonzo Chappel – National Archives

If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be.”Thomas Jefferson

That Democrats and other Leftists hate America’s Founding Fathers and the country’s Judeo-Christian heritage is a fact I’m not going to waste time in the article attempting to prove. Everything the Left does is designed to uproot and destroy the principles our Founders tried to build the nation upon. One of those principles, a very vital one, is a correctly educated populace. We have been complaining for many years now, and rightly so, what the Left has done to America’s education system since getting control of it about a century ago. Our Founders warned us about it, but, of course, Americans in general have paid no attention to them on this as on most matters they taught us. Continue reading

Artificial Intelligence and the Devil!

At a news conference discussion of Pope Leo’s Magnifica Humanitas encyclical, Leo was joined in discussing a subtopic concerning the “Threat of ‘Anti-Human Vision’” by Anthropic’s co-founder, Christopher Olah.

Izzat de Pope?

Pope Leo said, “The risk extends beyond the misuse of certain technologies.” He went on: “More gravely, the pervasive technocratic paradigm in which we are immersed, and that is amplified by the digital revolution and AI, threatens to normalize an anti-human vision.”

Olah wisely pontificated: “Some might believe that matters of AI are best handled by computer scientists like myself. They are mistaken. The questions raised by A.I. are bigger than the A.I. research community, not just in their implications, but also in their nature.” Continue reading

Whitehead ~ The Permanent War Government: Who’s Really Calling the Shots in Washington?

You want to defend the United States of America, then defend it with the tools it supplies you with – its Constitution. You ask for a mandate, General, from a ballot box. You don’t steal it after midnight, when the country has its back turned.”Seven Days in May (1964)

Who is actually running the government?

That is no longer a rhetorical question.

As America’s war with Iran lurches from escalation to ceasefire to renewed threats of military force, Americans are being asked to trust that someone, somewhere, knows what they are doing.

But who?

The president who boasts one moment of imminent peace and threatens the next to “finish the job”? The Pentagon officials who insist the war is going according to plan? The vice president who has reportedly questioned whether the Defense Department is giving the president the full picture? The intelligence agencies, defense contractors, war planners, foreign allies, billionaire donors, political handlers and unelected power brokers who operate behind the curtain?

This is the constitutional crisis hiding in plain sight.

The question is not merely whether Donald Trump is fit to lead. The question is whether any president still leads in any meaningful constitutional sense once the permanent war government gets moving.

That war government – the military industrial complex, the intelligence apparatus, the surveillance state, the federal police bureaucracy, the defense contractors, the private-sector profiteers and the unelected functionaries who keep the machinery running – does not need tanks in the streets to take over.

America Had No Income Tax Until 1913 — This Is How Government Got Paid Before That!

America didn’t always have an income tax. For most of U.S. history, the federal government ran without taking a cut of your paycheck – yet it still funded wars, built institutions, paid officials, and expanded across a continent.

So where did the money come from?

In this video, we break down the real pre-1913 revenue machine: the tariff system that turned ports into cash registers, the excise taxes hidden inside everyday goods, the “internal revenue” enforcement that targeted entire industries, and the stamp taxes that quietly made paperwork profitable. And then we show what changed in 1913 – why the system flipped, who pushed for it, and how the new model rewired American government forever.

If you’ve ever wondered how America functioned before income tax… this is the missing chapter.

Dickens: America Needs Enemies When there are none… Invent one!

Enemies Really Do Serve a Crucial Purpose… but there are also significant problems.

First, let’s agree on the definition of ‘enemy’.

An enemy is an individual, group, or nation that actively opposes, hates, or seeks to harm, injure, or overthrow another, or that seeks to injure, overthrow, or confound an opponent. It denotes a state of profound hostility, threats, or conflicts, ranging from personal adversaries to opposing military forces in war. Common synonyms include foe, adversary, antagonist, opponent, and rival. An enemy intends to cause harm, unlike accidental hindrance, and usually involves strong emotions such as hatred, fear, or jealousy.

We hate enemies because our brains are hardwired with ancient survival mechanisms that protect our “tribe” from perceived threats.

Ross: There Is A War Going On Inside My Head

A few days ago I was reading from Isaiah 6 and, although I’d read it before, a passage in Isaiah 6 had a profound effect upon me; causing my brain to come to a screeching halt so that it could consider what I’d just read.

The passage in question is the part of Isaiah 6 where Isaiah says that he heard the voice of the LORD ask, ‘Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?’ Isaiah responds by saying ‘Here am I; send me.’ Then, in verse 11 Isaiah asks how long, and it is the LORD’s answer that hit me like a 20 lb sledgehammer, ‘Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate, And the Lord have removed men far away, and there be a great forsaking in the midst of the land.’

However one chooses to interpret the events described in that verse, I don’t think anyone will disagree with me when I say that the overall meaning of the passage is, a very long time. Based solely upon chapters, Isaiah is second only to Psalms; proving that Isaiah did end up serving the LORD for a very long time. According to how I understand it, Isaiah never hesitated, and he never wavered in his commitment to serving the LORD. Continue reading

Johnson: The Emerging End-Times Alliance – Communism, Islam and the Russian Eastern Orthodox Religion

Classic black flag with white Shahada (Islamic declaration of faith): There is no god but Allah, Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah

In our time of fast-moving global changes, a troubling alliance is taking shape. It brings together Russian philosopher Alexander Dugin’s Eurasianist ideas, the Russian government, Communist China, and radical Islamic end-times beliefs.

Conservative podcasters like James Corbett and end times prophecy teachers like Joel Richardson have been trying to alert the world.

Joel Richardson, a well-known expert on Middle East prophecy and author of the book The Islamic Antichrist released a video on March 28, 2026, titled “Is This The End Times Alliance? Dugin, Russia, and Islam Against the West.” Richardson shows how Dugin’s occult background, combined with Islamic prophecies about the Mahdi and black-flag armies marching on Jerusalem, could form the very coalition that the Bible warns will rise against the West, Israel, and biblical Christianity in the last days.

DeWeese: The Coming July Fourth Betrayal of Thomas Jefferson

The Declaration of Independence is the root of the ideals for American freedom. It was the first document to openly define our disagreements with the King of England who controlled the colonies. Even more importantly, the Declaration specifically outlined the foundation of liberty, including limited government overreach in the lives of the citizens, the absolute need for private property ownership to guarantee personal freedom and the ability to build personal wealth.

Smith: Love Like the Sun Is Bleeding Out ~ Find the Courage to Pursue Life

~ Introduction ~

This piece is just a little bit of me reflecting and perhaps waxing a lil’ philosophical, as I considered this thing called “life”.

We look all around us, and My God the waste we see exhibited in people too numbed to their own existence to see the prison bars they have erected around themselves willingly – becoming no better than the show bull with the ring in his nose that enables his owners to more easily handle him. We see slothful, demanding, entitled, greedy, do-nothing wrecks of humanity shuffling all about us each day, not that this is the case for all us mere mortals but more than enough to continuously drag society into the depths of decline and disrepair, plodding along obeying every nonsensical order or demand or “mandate” put out by the so-called “elites” and the powers-that-be without ever offering the first utterance of complaint.

U.S. Senator Hasn’t Forgotten About Fauci, Wuhan, and ‘Gain of Function

Even with a former top aide facing a criminal indictment, a deadline has come and gone for the Trump administration to criminally charge Dr. Anthony Fauci for lying under oath to Congress.

“David Morens, Dr. Fauci’s top advisor, was indicted, but Fauci himself still walks free,” Sen. Rand Paul, warning about the deadline that came Monday, wrote in an X post on May 7.

Dr. Morens, a key advisor to Fauci, was indicted in April on federal charges he concealed research and medical records from the public during the Covid-19 pandemic. He faces five totals counts, including conspiracy, falsifying records, and concealing records. Continue reading

Amid Indictments, Investigations, SPLC Faces Backlash From Its Branded ‘Hate Groups

A longtime target of a self-described “catalyst for racial justice in the South and beyond” is giving the Southern Poverty Law Center a chance to make its case.

Last month, the Department of Justice indicted the Montgomery, Alabama-based Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) on 11 felonies, including charges of wire fraud, false statements, and conspiracy to commit money laundering to fund the racism it claims to fight.

On Monday, three weeks later, Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall (R) subpoenaed the SPLC for donor information, fundraising solicitations and other internal documents.

He told Tony Perkins that attorneys general have oversight involving charitable organizations, and in the SPLC’s case, which he called a “fundraising operation under the guise of something very different,” his office wants to know who they were funding, the purpose of that money, what information they gained, and how they utilized that information to raise money across the country.

The Real Reason America Created Public Schools — It Had Nothing to Do With Education

“The real reason America created public schools… had nothing to do with education.”

It’s a bold claim – but the truth is more complex, and far more interesting than the headline suggests.

Public education in the United States began taking shape in the 19th century, especially during the Common School Movement led by Horace Mann. His goal wasn’t to avoid education – it was to expand it. At the time, schooling was inconsistent, often private, and inaccessible to many families. Public schools were created to provide free, basic education to all children, regardless of social class.

But education wasn’t the only purpose. These schools also aimed to create a more stable and unified society. In a rapidly growing nation with waves of immigration and industrial change, leaders saw schools as a way to teach shared values, civic responsibility, and basic skills needed for work and participation in society.

McCullough: The Quiet Power No One Applauds!

Modern America has a strange way of measuring importance.

If it trends, it matters. If it makes money, it matters. If it gets applause, builds a brand, lands a television contract, or goes viral online, then we’re told it has value.

Meanwhile, some of the most civilization-shaping work ever done happens every single day in near-total obscurity.

No cameras. No standing ovations. No audience rising to its feet.

Just mothers quietly holding entire worlds together while the culture barely notices. Continue reading

We The People

Larry Schreiber wrote this song to remind us all that Government serves you and me! We have power over the Government, not the other way around.

Dickens: The Pernicious Problem in Politics

Words and actions have prodigious corollaries…

My subtitle highlights the immense and far-reaching consequences of what we say and do. It suggests that even small gestures or brief comments can trigger a massive “ripple effect” of logical or incidental outcomes. These outcomes can be far larger than their initial causes; careful consideration of both speech and behavior is essential to creating positive change.

Groucho Marx famously described politics as “the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedies“. Julius – Groucho’s real name – was a self-described liberal Democrat who supported left-wing causes in the 1930s. He often mocked authority, politicians, and political institutions with cynical, witty humor, famously claiming he wouldn’t belong to any club that would accept him as a member. Continue reading

Winning War on Poverty Has to Include Better Decisions From Those the Left Is Trying to Help

Notice something about those steps. The government can’t purchase them. They are choices each individual must make.

The Left’s compassion has inflicted a terrible price on America’s poor.

In 1964, former President Lyndon B. Johnson declared an “unconditional war on poverty.” He warned it “will not be a short or easy struggle,” but that “the richest nation on earth can afford to win it.”

He was right that it wouldn’t be a short or easy struggle. Johnson and Congress created a host of new federal programs, including the Job Corps, Head Start and the Office of Economic Opportunity. His “Great Society” programs included Medicare and Medicaid. In 1965, he signed a housing bill that included rent subsidies. Continue reading
