“When the whole world is running towards a cliff, he who is running in the opposite direction appears to have lost his mind.” ~ C. S. Lewis
The globalist ruling caste and their mass media want you to take COVID-19 shots. Right now! Don’t think—just do it. Unfortunately too many are robotically getting the jabs even though there have been many reports of the recipients dropping dead shortly thereafter. Continue reading
Democrats love to talk about “gun deaths,” but they hate to talk about the cultural conditions that cause them.
“Shootings never stopped during the pandemic,” blared the Washington Post headline. “2020 was the deadliest gun violence year in decades.”
The numbers bear it out: According to the article, there were 3,600 more shooting deaths in 2020 than in 2017, the next-deadliest recent year. This marks the highest one-year increase in homicides since such record-keeping began, and much of it occurred in our nation’s big cities, which saw a 30% spike. Continue reading
If there’s one thing the Clintons have always done well, it’s projection. They are masters of accusing their political opponents of doing the very thing they themselves are doing. Decrying the “politics of personal destruction,” for example, was a favorite refrain of the Clintons in the ’90s — all while they personally attacked and destroyed people.
Hillary Clinton made the latest entry in this wretched practice with her vitriol against gun owners and Second Amendment defenders.
In excerpts from a soon-to-be-released interview with her own former campaign spokeswoman, Jennifer Palmieri, Clinton railed against Senator Ted Cruz and other Republicans who oppose restricting gun rights and banning guns. Continue reading
Few political movements can boast of success like the firearms movement in the United States. Often overlooked is how before the 1980s there was no concept of licensed, let alone unlicensed, concealed carry in the overwhelming majority of the country. The sole exception was Vermont, which through an idiosyncratic state supreme court decision in 1903 has had unlicensed carry for over a century. “Vermont Carry,” the concept of unlicensed concealed carry, would be the Holy Grail for Second Amendment advocates for up to a century.
In the intervening decades, in large part motivated by notable transgressions on the right to bear arms during the 1930s and 1960s, activists took to using gradualist methods in their efforts to relax gun control laws at the state level. Starting in the late 1970s, Georgia kicked off the modern licensed carry movement after it joined states like Connecticut, New Hampshire, and Washington in enacting some form of licensed concealed carry. Soon thereafter, states began adopting licensed carry one by one, and by the twenty-first century, most of the nation had some form of licensed concealed carry. Continue reading
It never fails. A split-second after a mass shooting occurs, grandstanders and ideologues issue statements demanding new gun controls – even if the laws already on the books failed or the laws they want would have made no difference. Case in point: the tragic incidents in Dayton, Ohio, and El Paso, Texas, in early August 2019.
The message is clear: Guns cause violence. Tax them, take them, ban them, regulate them. Do something, maybe anything! Such knee-jerk, emotional responses are dangerous, writes Charles W. Cooke in National Review, “for when a nation sets up a direct pipeline between its emotions and its laws, it does not keep its liberty for long.” Continue reading
During the debate over the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, Senator Dick Durbin (D., Ill.) claimed that “undocumented immigrants do not have Social Security numbers, and they do not qualify for stimulus relief checks, period.” He was wrong on both counts.
Millions of illegal immigrants do have Social Security numbers (SSNs), and they will receive billions of dollars in stimulus money. But leave the money aside for now and consider the more basic problem: The U.S. government has chosen to issue SSNs to millions of people who are not even supposed to be in the country. It’s a clear indication that America is simply not serious about enforcing its immigration laws. Continue reading
There’s an old saying in a debate that those who define the terms usually win the argument. That truism has been playing out on the political stage now for at least half a century, as the Right consistently concedes the language to the Left. If it seems like we’re always losing the argument, perhaps that’s because we’re always playing on their home field.
Of course, it’s true that language evolves naturally over time. Think of the word “hood,” which once referred only to a head covering. Now it’s also applied to the front of a car – the part that covers the engine. That’s a natural and logical evolution.
It’s when such shifts in meaning don’t occur naturally and aren’t logical that problems arise – when words are manipulated intentionally to make them mean things they didn’t mean before or aren’t supposed to mean. And this manipulation of language, otherwise known as propaganda, is something the Left is quite good at. In fact, rhetorically speaking, it might be the only thing they’re really good at – their entire game plan – since their arguments are rarely based on logic or fact. Continue reading
“It is easy to go down into Hell; night and day, the gates of dark Death stand wide; but to climb back again, to retrace one’s steps to the upper air – there’s the rub, there’s the task.” ~ Virgil, an ancient Roman poet
Never have so many tried so hard with such little effect. Conservatives have had all the impact of bumper cars at an amusement park. They keep bumping into each other with their own individual ideas, concepts and solutions on how to defeat the socialist Democrat horde but can’t seem to come together on one solution they can all rally around. Continue reading
The Oregon Department of Education is promoting a course for teachers that links math lessons to racism and a culture of “white supremacy.”
The department last week sent out an online pamphlet for a course called “A Pathway to Equitable Math Instruction,” which includes a section on “Dismantling Racism in Mathematics Instruction.” The pamphlet includes materials that are essentially a course for spreading wokeness inside of classrooms.

The United States is very sick. The six tentacles of ENDOPATHIC DISEASE (endo, meaning within) and (pathic, meaning pathology) are now affecting every citizen in the United States. It involves SIX deep-rooted invasive tentacles, greed, money, power, control, lies, and deception. It has metastasized into the media, government, laws, medicine, drug companies, FDA, religion, law agencies, big tech corporations, many government politicians, mayors, and even has crept up to the steps of the white house.
Only intense surgical measures, with truth, knowledge, logic, honesty, love, faith in God, keeping our constitution and amendments, plus many changes in bad judges and bad laws will keep our freedom, and the current constitutional government free from disaster, and possible demise. Continue reading
The concentration camps were a laboratory for the Nazis. They put the minorities and intellectuals in there because the general population wouldn’t mind losing those people. The Nazi leaders knew people needed targets for their own self-hatred. ~ Wendy Hoffman, Survivor of Criminal Abuse
We slow the progress of science today for all sorts of ethical reasons. Biomedicine could advance much faster if we abolished our rules on human experimentation in clinical trials, as Nazi researchers did. ~ Paul Nitze, served under Truman, Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson
The above quote by Nitze is the reality of how the government and medical scientists think of American citizens…we are cash cows to be used and disposed of for their own experiments. Joseph Mengele, the Angel of Death, would be proud. Continue reading
Of all the ways identity politics is used as a tool to sow hatred among people where there should be the potential for friendship, “critical race theory” is one of the gravest offenders. Every person of goodwill should know that judging people based on their physical characteristics is cruel and wrong. Continue reading
“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”~ Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution
“There is no right to carry arms openly in public; nor is any such right within the scope of the Second Amendment.” ~ Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals
Who are you going to believe, the Founders who wrote the Second Amendment or the lying despots seated on the Ninth Circuit? Continue reading
The following struck me personally as I lived just a 1/4 mile from Evanston, Illinois in an apartment in Rogers Park shortly having left the Jungles of ‘Nam in 1970. From there, I was minutes away from my work – in what is now one of the most idiotic cities in America. Enact Reparations? HELL – the American taxpayer has been footing that bill for a very, VERY long time!
A tony Midwestern college town with an abundance of white guilt leads the way toward reparations for slavery.
It was only a matter of time. As repulsive as the idea of reparations sounds, we knew that someday, some leftist college town somewhere — whether Ann Arbor, or Cambridge, or Madison, or Berkeley — would sign on to atone for America’s original sin. Never mind that it’s a sin that no living American was either guilty of or subject to.
The idea itself, as author David Horowitz put it in his 2002 book, Uncivil Wars: The Controversy Over Reparations for Slavery, is both morally questionable and racially incendiary. And the 10-point case he made against reparations nearly two decades ago has aged remarkably well. But since when did bullet-proof logic ever stop a gaggle of do-gooding leftists? Continue reading
The last time or two that my home alarm system repairman was here, we were talking about Operation Paperclip, the secret, illegal ploy used to spirit Nazi scientists from facing charges at the Nuremburg Trials and bring them to the United States. Yesterday, he sent me a video of author Annie Jacobsen (an excellent writer, researcher and New York Times bestseller), giving a presentation on her new book Operation Paperclip. Continue reading
I find it interesting that people can watch films like the Matrix and not see the analogical similarity to their own lives. When Morpheus first frees Neo from the Matrix and takes him aboard the Nebuchadnezzar Neo has difficulty coming to terms with the reality he finds himself in; yet he eventually accepts it and joins Morpheus in fighting against those who had kept him enslaved for the majority of his life. Continue reading
