House Speaker Mike Johnson may not last long. He quickly went from MAGA to swampy morass. Instead of sending money to close our southern border, he wants even more billions of tax dollars sent to the lost cause that is Ukraine. Continue reading
Not unlike the famed tree of Shel Silverstein’s divisive children’s book, teachers don’t have much left to give. Operating in a infamously demanding and poorly paid sector, many educators have reached a breaking point over the last couple of years as they navigate an increasingly broadening workload. Continue reading
Abortion may still be front and center in the power struggle between the Left and the Right over who has the right to decide – the government or the individual – when it comes to bodily autonomy, the right to privacy, sexual freedom, the rights of the unborn, and property interests in one’s body, but there’s so much more at play.
In the 50-plus years since the U.S. Supreme Court issued its landmark ruling in Roe v. Wade, the government has come to believe that it not only has the power to determine who is deserving of constitutional rights in the eyes of the law but it also has the authority to deny those rights to an American citizen.

This historical parallel from the Roman Empire is the perfect analogy to the situation today – the US appears far weaker than it was even just a few years ago. And that has some pretty substantial implications for the future.]
When the barbarian king Rugila died in the year 434 AD, Roman Emperor Theodosius II likely rejoiced that his mortal enemy was no more.
Rugila (and his father Uldin) had been invading and terrorizing Roman territory for decades; but the Empire was so weak at that point that Theodosius was powerless to stop them. Continue reading
It will beg, steal or borrow if necessary, but it wants your money any way it can get it.
This is what comes of those $1.2 trillion spending bills: someone’s got to foot the bill for the government’s fiscal insanity, and that “someone” is the U.S. taxpayer.
The government’s schemes to swindle, cheat, scam, and generally defraud taxpayers of their hard-earned dollars have run the gamut from wasteful pork barrel legislation, cronyism and graft to asset forfeiture, costly stimulus packages, and a national security complex that continues to undermine our freedoms while failing to making us any safer.

“Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.” ~ Matthew 5:48
The human mind is a fascinating organ. Aside from being the control center for the body that houses it, it is because of our ability to think that we have cars, airplanes, computers, and all the other gadgets and gizmos that make our day-to-day lives easier. That is why I find it so bewildering that people are not able to look at the issues that face us with the same critical thinking skills that have given us all these technological advancements. The thing is, I shouldn’t find it bewildering; I too was just like that; until I freed my mind of the shackles of its ignorance and taught it how to think critically. Continue reading
NOTE: Last week, on April the sixth, we published an article entitled, America ABANDONS The First Amendment. What you are about to read picks up where the original column left off and posts its own discussion – POINT BLANK. It would appear that the current bunch of scum in the U.S. Congress (collectively) are doing their utmost to attack the entirety of the Bill of Rights. ~ Editor
Government censorship has shifted to the forefront of American conversation with the recent passing of H.R. 752, which would essentially ban TikTok; this development, which has passed the House and is on its way to the Senate, is igniting debating on how much involvement the government should have in social media.
This debate is not new, considering the government has been intervening in social media for years. For example, this is not the first time the federal government has tried to ban TikTok. In 2020, then-President Trump famously attempted to ban the uprising app but was challenged and ultimately blocked by the courts. Continue reading
A week after the Biden administration’s March 20 edict on auto emissions – a proclamation heralded by some as the death knell for the internal combustion engine in the next decade – a disquiet has insinuated itself into the corridors of commentary. Even Washington Post columnists are worrying that the Biden administration may have gone too far.
In a March 25 opinion piece, the Post’s Megan McArdle – whose political leanings cannot by the even most imaginative stretch be construed as sympathetic to Donald Trump – observed that the administration “risks a political backlash” as it seeks to force out gasoline-powered cars and force in electric vehicles (EVs). In McArdle’s words of warning, “consumers revolt against a technology that’s not ready for prime time.” Continue reading
Texas’ state flag. In hypothetical referendums, 25 states would vote for full independence from the U.S., according to a leading Texas nationalist. ~ AARON M. SPRECHER/GETTY
A leading Texas independence campaigner has said the United States is “breaking apart,” with over 50 percent of the population in 25 states ready to secede based on his interpretation of two recent surveys by the polling company YouGov. Continue reading
OH – how RARE – NOT!
Has anyone noticed lately how often someone in a government position has been shown to be lying to us? With the Biden/Obama regime the amount of political BS has proliferated astronomically. Just about anyone from this regime that gets a ten second spot on the news, from Biden’s press secretary to the man “who does more work in an hour than most people do all day” himself has been caught in egregious falsehoods, to the point where they don’t even try to convince you they are telling the truth anymore. They just spin their horrendous political windys and almost dare anyone to contradict them. Continue reading
The website https://www.heritage.org noted, back in March of 2023, that: “In President Biden’s first two years, the administration requested and received significant funding to further its open borders agenda. The Biden administration (used) hundreds of billions of federal dollars to shift federal agencies and personnel further away from enforcing the nation’s immigration laws and toward processing and accommodating millions more illegal aliens. This policy agenda defies federal law and abuses American taxpayer dollars and Congress should act to halt it.”
…das ist Auschwitz!
The government never cedes power willingly.
Neither should we.
If the Covid-19 debacle taught us one thing it is that, as Justice Neil Gorsuch acknowledged, “Rule by indefinite emergency edict risks leaving all of us with a shell of a democracy and civil liberties just as hollow.”
Today being Maundy Thursday, the day before the crucifixion of the Lord Jesus Christ, I felt it was a good time for this article. Andrew Torba, the CEO of Gab.com, seems to have committed the “unpardonable (antisemitic) sin” because he has written “Jesus Christ is King” and he continues to do so. You just can’t have Christians running around stating obvious truths like that that rob the state of Israel of its desired grandeur. So what to do? Label such truths as “antisemitic.” That should shut those Christians up!
I did an article not too long ago noting that not all who have embraced the religion of Judaism are Semitic by birth. In fact, most today are not. Their ancestors came mostly from Western Russia and Eastern Europe and they have no more claim to being Semitic than the man in the moon! In fact, many of those they claim to be antisemitic are really Semites racially, while most Jews today are not.
Christians should have no problem proclaiming that Jesus Christ is King. Unfortunately, whether some Christians realize it or not, they are really busy stating that “the state of Israel is king–and don’t you forget it.” Looking at some Scripture on this Maundy Thursday, the Scripture is quite clear regarding the actions of Israel’s religious leaders during the Lord’s time on earth.

“Those who organized the disaster will take advantage of the inevitable discontent arising from efforts to overcome it, for if there is one thing that they are skilled in, it is demagoguery.” ~ Theodore Dalrymple
Can you feel it? The tension rising to the red-line? It runs clear through all of Western Civ. We are ruled by governments of fiends. But now, the sun rides higher in the sky. The sap is rising in the northern forests. The earth heaves. The buds swell and blush. Something is in the air. The animals are waking from their long winter sleep. The natives are restless.
The two traditional political divisions, liberal and conservative died with Covid. Now there are simply the sane versus the insane. The sane have had enough of being pushed around by the insane. The insane don’t register much of what reality tries to tell them. They have a body of insane ideas to comfort and protect them from reality’s rigors. To call that body of ideas an “ideology” is way too polite. Continue reading
“Dictators are not in the business of allowing elections that could remove them from their thrones.” ~ Gene Sharp, political science professor
The high court’s decree that the power to remove a federal candidate from the ballot under the Constitution’s “insurrectionist ban” rests with Congress, not the states, underscores the fact that in a representative democracy, the citizenry – not the courts, not the corporations, and not the contrived electoral colleges – should be the ones to elect their representatives.
Unfortunately, what is being staged is not an election. It is a mockery of an election. Continue reading
Taste is a funny thing. It changes so incrementally, we barely notice, except looking backward over time. Take my falling out of love with going to the movies. For decades, it used to be a weekly thing, sometimes more. I’d see the big blockbusters, plus whatever indie flicks looked interesting.
Now it’s Academy Awards time. Ten films have been nominated for Best Picture. I’ve seen precisely one. Barbie. Let me save you an hour and 54 minutes: It’s a movie about a doll who wears a lot of pink. She hangs out with a diverse group of fellow dolls. The men are dolts, or oppressive. The patriarchy sucks.
The movie ends – spoiler alert! – with Barbie being dropped off at the gynecologist.
Driving Miss Daisy it ain’t. Continue reading
You may not like to read about the Enemy – but you need to understand the difference between it and Joe Buy Deng’s ‘merica! There is good and bad in every nation – but at the present time – America is on the loosing side of LIFE! ~ Editor
A series of busts of Russia’s rulers, including Vladimir Lenin, second right, and Josef Stalin, third right, are on display in Moscow, Russia
You definitely don’t want to speak out against the war or the current regime — it’s an almost guaranteed way to lose your job or end up in a prison.
That’s why everyone is so careful about what they say, and to whom they say it. Unless you know someone really, really well, you have to avoid any potentially controversial topics.
The TV blasts propaganda on a daily basis, effectively brainwashing millions of people. It’s surprising how many Russians seems to believe the news… or at least pretend to believe it.
The national elections took place this past weekend. Despite the official numbers reporting 77% voter turnout, most people I spoke to didn’t plan on voting since, “the result will be the same anyway.”
This is all eerily reminiscent of the Soviet Union. Continue reading
The Democrat Party’s propaganda media once again reported news that was a bald faced lie. They claimed that that Trump said there would be a bloodbath if he’s not re-elected. In fact, he said the US auto industry would face a bloodbath if he’s not re-elected. Biden’s Green New Deal would spell the end of the gasoline powered engines of the US auto industry and destroy countless jobs – an economic ‘bloodbath.’ Continue reading
