Qatar has dumped billions into U.S. universities over the last four decades, The Free Press reported.
The Sunni Gulf State has made headlines after gifting President Donald Trump a splashy $400 million plane dubbed the “palace in the sky,” and has recently hosted him as part of his whirlwind Middle East tour. Continue reading
Would having your brain connected to the Internet 24 hours a day be heaven, or would it be hell? Today, a very large portion of the population is seemingly glued to their phones or their computers much of the time. But soon implantable brain-computer interfaces will allow those people to stay connected to their devices all the time. Apple has partnered with a shadowy tech company known as “Synchron” to develop a “brain implant that allows users to operate digital devices by thinking”… Continue reading
The 47th president seems to wish he were king – and he is willing to destroy what is precious about this country to get what he wants.
The president of the united states appears to have long ago forgotten that Americans fought the Revolutionary War not merely to secure their independence from the British monarchy but to establish a government of laws, not of men, so that they and future generations of Americans would never again be subject to the whims of a tyrannical king. As Thomas Paine wrote in Common Sense in 1776, “For as in absolute governments the king is law, so in free countries the law ought to be king; and there ought to be no other.” Continue reading
“Donald Trump ran on a platform of relentless, thoroughgoing rejection of the Constitution itself, and its underlying principle of democratic self-government and individual rights. True, he never endorsed quartering of troops in private homes in time of peace, but aside from that there is hardly a provision of the Bill of Rights or later amendments he did not explicitly promise to override, from First Amendment freedom of the press and of religion to Fourth Amendment freedom from ‘unreasonable searches and seizures’ to Sixth Amendment right to counsel to Fourteenth Amendment birthright citizenship and Equal Protection and Fifteenth Amendment voting rights.” – Garrett Epps, law professor
If Donald Trump is remembered for anything, it may be his unintentional role in reviving public interest in the U.S. Constitution.
Indeed, few modern political figures have done more to prompt spontaneous national discussions about the Bill of Rights and constitutional limits on government power – if only because Trump tramples on them so frequently.
Through his routine disregard for due process, free speech, separation of powers, and the rule of law, President Trump has become a walking civics lesson.
From the First and Fourth Amendments to the Emoluments Clause, the Constitution has never had such regular airtime.
Ironically, this might be Trump’s greatest legacy: forcing Americans to learn what the Constitution actually says – by violating it.
Unfortunately, Trump himself remains constitutionally illiterate. 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. 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
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
Bill Gates predicted that advancements in artificial intelligence will significantly reduce humanity’s role in many traditional tasks such as medicine and education — and the seismic shift could happen in less than 10 years.
During a recent interview with comedian Jimmy Fallon on NBC’s “The Tonight Show,” the Microsoft co-founder described a future where humans are no longer necessary “for most things” because AI technology will readily perform tasks that currently require specialized human skills.
Today, expertise in fields such as medicine and education remains “rare,” Gates said, adding that those areas depend on “a great doctor” or “a great teacher.”
Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates says that advancements in artificial intelligence will eventually negate the need for doctors and teachers. Continue reading

The healthcare industry is facing a growing crisis as more doctors leave their jobs, citing burnout, financial pressures, and changing work environments. Physician shortages are becoming a concern, impacting patient care and healthcare access. Here are four key reasons why doctors are leaving their professions at an alarming rate. Continue reading
Because we are at such a pivotal point in world history we are going to stand back and consider The Big Picture because what happens in the next few months and even weeks is likely to change everything. What we are going to do is consider where we are now and then “reverse engineer” it to see how we got here. This is important because we stand at the threshold of a nuclear war and gains in the markets won’t help you much if you are dead.
The first key point to understand is that the Western World is in an advanced state of decay and collapse, a situation that has arisen because it is increasingly bankrupt, morally physically and spiritually. Continue reading
“That was when they suspended the Constitution. They said it would be temporary.” ~ Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid’s Tale
This is how it begins.
This is how it always begins, justified in the name of national security.
Mass roundups. Raids. Indefinite detentions in concentration camps. Martial law. The erosion of habeas corpus protections. The suspension of the Constitution, at least for select segments of the population. A hierarchy of rights, contingent on whether you belong to a favored political class.
The meme below perfectly captures the downfall of a once thriving nation, before the Deep State/CIA murdered John F. Kennedy, ushering in the welfare/warfare state, built upon debt, consumerism, egotism, and technological distraction. The image is sad, deeply disturbing, and accurate.
The ongoing degradation and decay are a consequence of the nation turning its back on personal responsibility and service to community as reflected in JFK’s viewpoint of, “Ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country”. LBJ’s Great Society encouraged the destruction of the family – particularly black families, while setting in motion the accumulation of current and unfunded welfare debts. What can your politicians give you to buy your vote. The selling of feminism to females further destroyed the traditional family and has resulted in the state raising our kids in their indoctrination centers, to the detriment of society.

Since the signing of U.N. Agenda 21 in 1992 in Rio, Brazil, by 178 countries, and its implementation across the world, the elements of the agenda which had been transformed into U.N. Agenda 2030, are already in place as well.
The Great Reset was defined by the World Economic Forum’s chairman Klaus Schwab in his book by the same name. His envisioned Great Reset involves the rebooting of the world economy as enabled by the Covid-19 “epidemic” in the form of “sustainable development” that destroys sovereignty, borders, citizenship, wealth, private property, and national economies, to the benefit of a few billionaires who control the globe.
U.N. would control and dictate everything for them, including public health, travel, fiscal and monetary policies, transportation, employment, education, labor, housing, commerce, agriculture, weather manipulation, religion, family, reproduction, birth, life, and death for the planet’s 8 billion humans.

“The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out … without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable.” ~ H. L. Mencken
If the three-ring circus that is the looming presidential election proves anything, it is that the Deep State’s plot to destabilize the nation is working.
Caught up in the heavily dramatized electoral showdown between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, Americans have become oblivious to the multitude of ways in which the government is goosestepping all over our freedoms on a daily basis. Continue reading
“What happened here was the gradual habituation of the people, little by little, to being governed by surprise; to receiving decisions deliberated in secret; to believing that the situation was so complicated that the government had to act on information which the people could not understand, or so dangerous that, even if the people could understand it, it could not be released because of national security… And all the crises and reforms (real reforms, too) so occupied the people that they did not see the slow motion underneath, of the whole process of government growing remoter and remoter.” ~ Historian Milton Mayer, They Thought They Were Free: The Germans, 1933-45
Brace yourself: a tsunami approaches.
While we squabble over which side is winning this losing battle to lead the country, there is something being concocted in the dens of power, far beyond the public eye, and it doesn’t bode well for the future of this country.
Anytime you have an entire nation so mesmerized by the antics of the political ruling class that they are oblivious to all else, you’d better beware. Continue reading
A new study suggests that as many as 2.7 million non-citizens could vote in the 2024 election, leading some to voice concerns about coming election results potentially not reflecting the will of Americans citizens, who are the only ones permitted to vote in federal elections.
Just Facts, a nonprofit research institute found, “that about 10% to 27% of non-citizen adults in the U.S. are now illegally registered to vote,” an overview of the study states. Continue reading
Supporting the First Amendment is now a partisan issue.
Last week, California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed three bills targeting AI-generated political ads. Among other provisions, one bill bans election-related “deepfakes” months before and after Election Day. Deepfakes are AI-generated videos or other content that can be stunningly realistic. Another bill requires social media sites to remove such content. Continue reading
