Now that Joe Biden is out of office, many Democrats feel free to tell what was really going on during his term at the White House. Many of us already knew Joe was a mentally impaired puppet, which became all-too evident during his presidential debate with Trump. Continue reading

Many of them also received student loans, tax refunds, and food stamps, according to the Department of Government Efficiency.
Numerous illegal immigrants with terrorist or criminal links who entered the United States under the previous administration received several government benefits, according to the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
“Under the Biden administration, it was routine for Border Patrol to admit aliens into the United States with no legal status and minimal screening,” DOGE said in an April 11 post on social media platform X. Continue reading
Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) said Thursday that millions of dollars in unemployment claims have gone to “fake people” who aren’t even born yet — some not even in this century.
Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer presented the findings to President Trump at a Thursday afternoon cabinet meeting, saying “we’re working with our [inspectors general] … [to] return those dollars to the Treasury.” Continue reading
President Donald Trump’s terrible tariffs are terrific for America, and they are simply one segment of the Trump administration’s economic strategy to save America’s economy, supply chains and rebuild our production base, because he recognizes our current situation as a national security issue.
The goal is to ensure that the U.S. can stay dominant on the world stage without eventually being driven into oblivion by China and other trade cheats, who have taken advantage of our economic largesse for the past six decades, largely due to past presidents’ reluctance and cowardice to do the hard and necessary things to defend America’s interests. President Trump’s actions are his own reset of sorts and a long-needed move to re-balance the relationship between the United States and the rest of the world on trade and many other concerns.

The Trump administration is reportedly escalating its tactics to revoke the temporary legal status of immigrants allowed into the U.S. under the Biden administration. The latest effort includes adding migrants who are here lawfully to Social Security Administration’s “death master file,” effectively blacklisting them from the U.S. financial system, the New York Times reports. Continue reading
The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has identified California, New York, and Massachusetts as the primary states responsible for over half of the fraudulent unemployment claims in the United States since 2020. According to DOGE’s findings, these three Democrat-led states accounted for $305 million out of the $382 million in improper claim payments. Continue reading

We have seen the conflict and tragedy that can follow when an old era collapses. Countries that believe in multilateralism must come together now.
(This is the second in a two-part series on the global response to Donald Trump’s tariffs)
After a week that started with the worst financial volatility in recent history and ended with the most serious escalation so far of the China-US conflict, it is time to distinguish the tectonic shifts from the tremors. If nothing changes, the 2020s risks being remembered as this century’s devil’s decade – the term historians once used for the 1930s. It will be defined not just by seven million people who have died of Covid-19 and rising global poverty and inequality – but also by a dismembered Ukraine, a burnt-out Gaza and little-reported atrocities in Africa and Asia, each testimony to the violent displacement of a rules-based global order by a power-based one.
Indeed, before our eyes, every single pillar of the old order is under assault – not just free trade but the rule of law and the primacy we have long attached to human rights and democracy, the self-determination of peoples, and multilateral cooperation between nations, including the humanitarian and environmental responsibilities we once accepted as citizens of the world.

At a political fundraising dinner on Tuesday night, President Donald Trump said he plans to announce tariffs on pharmaceuticals soon.
“We’re going to tariff our pharmaceuticals, and once we do that, they come rushing back into our country, because we’re the big market,” Trump said at the National Republican Congressional Committee dinner in Washington, D.C. Continue reading
For far too long, the US has endured unequal trade with countries around the world. Other countries charged us significant tariffs while expecting the US not to reciprocate. This unequal playing field should have been made level shortly after WWII, but no president wanted to upset the economic applecart. Trump is willing to cause shockwaves to remedy the trade situation by means reciprocal tariffs. Continue reading
The goal of the healthcare industry in the United States is to take as much money away from you as possible. I truly wish that I was exaggerating, but I am not. Can you guess which nation spends the highest percentage of GDP on healthcare? Without looking it up, you probably already know that it is us. Gigantic pharmaceutical corporations and massively bloated health insurance companies are raking in colossal mountains of cash, and yet the quality of the healthcare that we receive in return is rather quite poor. Continue reading
What we’re witnessing is the calculated use of emergency powers to concentrate power in the hands of the president, enrich the Deep State, and dismantle what remains of economic and constitutional safeguards.
Nearly 250 years after our nation’s founders rebelled over abused property rights, Americans are once again being subjected to taxation without any real representation, all the while the government continues to do whatever it likes – levy taxes, rack up debt, spend outrageously and irresponsibly – with little concern for the plight of its citizens.
Nothing has changed for the better with Donald Trump. Indeed, it’s getting worse by the day. Continue reading
President Donald Trump has announced that tariffs on pharmaceuticals are incoming, which means Americans will likely have to pay more for their medicines.
“We’re going to be announcing very shortly a major tariff on pharmaceuticals. And when they hear that, they will leave China,” Trump said Tuesday at a Republican fundraiser.
Aboard Air Force One last week, he told reporters that “pharma” tariffs would come “at a level you haven’t really seen before.” He added that the tariffs would be revealed “in the near future.” Continue reading
I have been warning that the global forces are working on new tactics to keep their agenda of control moving forward even in the wake of President Donald Trump’s efforts to stop them at the federal level. Trump has shocked the nation as he has exposed the massive amount of federal funds that have been flowing into the coffers of non-governmental organizations (NGOs). These are the well-trained shock troops that lead the charge to push the agenda piece by piece. Continue reading
It means that despite superficial changes, things’ underlying or fundamental aspects often remain constant. Turbulent changes do not affect reality on a deeper level other than to cement the status quo.
Did Alphonse Karr define the partisan political climate in the United States?
Consider the gilded turd analogy – you can dip a turd in gold, but it’s still a turd; it’s not a solid gold bar, what’s counts is just below the surface. Continue reading
The Last Judgment – Gustave Doré (1832 – 1883)
I’ve lived my life with a vitality and an intensity, that I’m always in constant amazement that I haven’t burned and crashed like a moth that just flew into the flames. At times, it felt as though I was about to break myself apart, as I threw myself completely into every important battle on multiple fronts and every major issue of the day, but at least I fought – at least You fought, Jeff, along with so many other of our kindred spirits and fellow Americans. And I lived a life worth living – at least for me it was.
It should go without saying, each American has the freedom, the right and the obligation to rebel and fight against those evils that would destroy our freedom and rights, to fight against everything that is cruel in this world, but in today’s reality with education such as it is and in tatters, I find myself repeating this very thing at least once a week, if not each day, in order that some young person’s mind might grasp hold of the notion and grow to understand its meaning. For our freedom is meaningless, nothing in fact, without our right to fight for it and defend it intact.
And it’s a very personal thing for every American to choose at a time that may make their choice an easy thing – to rise up and hang the traitors from tall trees. Especially all those who had the slightest hand in the Biden regime’s Open Border treason against America. Continue reading
The freakout over President Donald Trump‘s executive order instructing the administration to begin eliminating the Department of Education has nothing to do with learning or teaching. It has everything to do with the Left’s dream of centralizing education and indoctrinating children with trendy, progressive cultural values.
Indeed, it’s unlikely that most people are even aware that the Education Department has virtually nothing to do with their local schools. It doesn’t provide funding for the buildings, textbooks, or teacher salaries. Nearly 90% of all K–12 public school spending comes from state and local sources.
What the federal government does is fund some low-income schools and special-education needs, money that can be easily meted out by the Treasury Department. Or, even better, it’s money that can be block-granted to states to administer as they see fit. Continue reading
The Supreme Court blocked a district court judge’s order barring the Trump administration from deporting Venezuelan migrants to El Salvador, making the ruling as lawyers of some of the migrants sent away from the U.S. say their clients have no criminal records.
The Supreme Court said in a filing U.S. District Judge James Boasberg, who is based in Washington, D.C., should not have handled the case because the deportation flights at the center of the dispute originated in Texas. Continue reading
In today’s turbulent times, it seems as though world leaders are constantly at odds with each other, leading to conflicts that have global implications. Nostradamus, the famed French seer and astrologer, has long been known for his prophetic visions of the future. Could his predictions offer insight into the current state of affairs and the potential for a new world order to emerge? Continue reading
It was sometime in the spring of 323 BC when Alexander the Great – the “King of the World” – passed through the gates of ancient Babylon for the last time.
He had already conquered the city nearly a decade before. But his men were worn out from fighting in India and Persia, and Babylon was a secure place to give his army a much-needed rest.
They remained there for a few months, until, quite suddenly, Alexander became extremely ill on either the 10th or 11th of June and then died.
The cause of his death is unknown. Some say he was poisoned. Others blame malaria, typhoid fever, or complications from his battle wounds.
What is certain, however, is that he left behind no legitimate male heir, as his wife was still pregnant at the time of his death. So almost immediately a power struggle broke out as to who would succeed him. Continue reading
