Like a lot of people, I first came across Charlie Kirk when YouTube’s algorithm started showing me short clips of him dismantling woke Leftists at university campuses.
Kirk used politeness combined with simple logic and reason to demonstrate what we all already knew: the Left has no idea what they’re talking about! Continue reading
The Morning of 9/11, 2001
* They said it was for safety.
* They said it was for order.
* They said it was for the good of the nation.
Yesterday I wrote an essay titled WTC Building 7: Sabotage in Plain Sight that generated a great deal of reader commentary, which I have carefully read.
The perfectly symmetrical and simultaneous failure of all main supports in WTC Building 7 is just one of many bizarre features of the September 11, 2001 saga. Continue reading
Michael Cole, Lauren’s father and founder of Lauren’s Wish, visits Lauren’s grave at Fletcher Cemetery in Cheat Neck, W. Va., on Aug. 13, 2025. Samira Bouaou/The Epoch Times
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – The shadows lengthened as Michael Cole walked through the cemetery near sunset to his daughter’s grave, where he dropped to his knees and kissed the cool, dark stone of her marker.
Head bowed, his hands tenderly swept away bits of grass clinging to the headstone’s base, fingers lingering on shells and heart-shaped stones left as tribute to Lauren Cole’s life. She was 26. Continue reading
Stanford University has issued a chilling warning about the impact of artificial intelligence on jobs. The number of job opportunities for young professionals in AI-affected sectors across the United States has dropped by 13% over the past three years.
According to a report from the Stanford Digital Economy Lab, AI is going to reduce the number of jobs available to human beings, and has already done so. Continue reading
How many people do you know who still believe we have too much C02 on this earth?
How many people do you know who are letting their children being taught “sight words” to hinder their reading abilities.
How many people do you know who think fluoride is good for them?
How many people do you know who believe we must cease of all uses of fossil fuels and transit to only so-called Green energies that are destroying our land, water, and crops and killing us and other living creatures on this earth. Continue reading
I’m going to try to keep this as short as humanly possible, but I am not going to make any promises; I do get carried away sometimes. Before I get to the subject matter I wish to discuss, there is something I think I need to clarify. I call these things essays, but that’s not entirely accurate, the are opinion pieces; my opinion. I do not claim to be right, but I do my very best to provide sufficient evidence to support my opinion.
I have found that people do not want to read things that cause them to call into question their own opinions; they would rather read only those things that validate them. That, if you ask me, ensures that one will never grow; for if they refuse to question their own opinions, their own beliefs, then how will they ever know if they are based upon solid evidence; upon the truth? Continue reading
Donald Trump has always been a master of imagery.
From his red MAGA hats to his choreographed rallies, he understands the language of spectacle. Now he has discovered the perfect propaganda machine: AI-generated images.
AI allows the creation of endless variations of Trump-as-warrior, Trump-as-enforcer, Trump-as-savior. These images spread across social media, replicated, remixed, and shared until they become familiar, even normalized.
The latest AI-generated images of Trump, shared on his social media accounts, depict him in the militarized black uniform of a SWAT officer, or in police dress blues.
These memes are carefully crafted signals of how Trump envisions power in America. Continue reading
Is the American dream dead? Well, here’s a shocker!According to a new report from Congresswoman Majorie Taylor Greene, right now – today, only 12% of 30-year-old Americans are married and have a home of their own. Representative Green is working to stop the growing crisis for younger families. Here is her chart that clearly exposes it.
Marriage and homeownership were never just personal milestones. They were sovereignty anchors, forms of decentralized power that rooted individuals in community. They were family. They were the means for building personal family wealth and independence. Continue reading
President Trump is making many valid changes. A major one is doing away with politically deceptive Department of Education (which Reagan wanted to do), thus returning our children’s learning back to the states and counties – where it belongs. The President has also eliminated the Evolution centric UNESCO education. Now, if we are going to have any hope of finishing the job, of removing the Marxist dumbing-down of our children those states and counties should, next destroy every textbook on every subject and start again from scratch. If (most likely the case) they do not, Trump’s action will be worthless – less than worthless – the average parent will think sound science, reason, and logic will have returned to the classroom. This is political deception of the highest order, visible in open leftist opposition.
The same problem holds true with the great scam of Climate Change. Trump pulled the U.S. out of the Paris Climate Agreement. Continue reading
CNN Interrupted Mid-Broadcast for Hardest Blow to Trump Yet as President in ‘Crisis‘
CNN was halted for urgent breaking news in a developing story, as Donald Trump was handed his biggest blow yet in the second term of his presidency. As Trump vows a crackdown on crime in cities like Washington D.C., Philadelphia’s district attorney Larry Krasner has taken aim at the world leader, claiming he “wants to start a coup”.
“This is just a lie. It’s a lie in DC, it’s a lie in LA, it’s a lie in Chicago, it’s a lie in Philly and it’s a lie by a criminal who pardons criminals. You know, insurrectionists, people who are basically engaging in treason against the United States.
“Simply put, the only crisis here is Donald Trump and that’s because he wants a crisis, he wants a crisis so he can roll tanks in big cities and make it look normal, and he wants that because he intends to try to carry out a coup.”… (Continue to full article)
Court Finds Trump’s Tariffs an Illegal Use of Emergency Power, but Leaves Them in Place for Now
A federal appeals court ruled Friday that President Trump had no legal right to impose sweeping tariffs but left in place for now his effort to build a protectionist wall around the American economy.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ruled that Trump wasn’t legally allowed to declare national emergencies and impose import taxes on almost every country, a ruling that largely upheld a May decision by a specialized federal trade court in New York.
But the 7-4 court did not strike down the tariffs immediately, allowing his administration time to appeal to the Supreme Court… (Continue to full article)
Trump Moves to Rescind $4.9 Billion in Foreign Aid, Earning Pushback From Capitol Hill
Trump is looking to claw back nearly $5 billion in foreign aid funds that Congress already approved, deploying a rarely used maneuver known as a pocket rescission to withhold funding without lawmakers’ authorization.
WTF – Over!
The move has prompted bipartisan pushback from Capitol Hill, with one top Republican calling it “unlawful.”
In a letter to House Speaker Mike Johnson posted on X by the White House Office of Management and Budget, the president said he was proposing “15 rescissions of budget authority, totaling $4.9 billion.” The cuts include funding for the State Department as well as the U.S. Agency for International Development and international development and assistance programs… (Continue to full article)
Clear Majority of US Voters, Including 3 in 4 Democrats, Want to End Weapons Support to Israel
As its genocidal actions in Gaza become more brazen by the day, support for Israel among Americans has reached a record low.
According to a Quinnipiac University poll released Wednesday, 60% of voters across all parties now say they oppose the United States sending more military aid to Israel, while just 32% say they support it. The pollster said it was the greatest amount of opposition it has recorded for the US-Israel alliance since it first asked the question in November 2023.
Opposition is even stronger among Democratic voters: 75% of them now oppose sending military aid to Israel, compared with just 18% who still support it… (Continue to full article)
Senate GOP Braces for Chaos as Trump Moves to Seize Control of the Fed
Senate Republicans are scrambling as Donald Trump escalates his effort to seize control of the Federal Reserve, blindsiding many in his own party by announcing the unprecedented firing of Fed governor Lisa Cook over unproven fraud claims.
The move, fueled by Trump loyalists amplifying accusations on social media, comes as he prepares to install loyalists on the board ahead of a key interest rate vote. While Cook challenges the ouster in court, GOP aides admit they’re bracing for chaos when Congress returns. “We just jumped into the unknown,” one senior Republican aide confessed… (Continue to full article)
Judge Blocks Trump Admin. From Expanding Fast-Track Deportations Nationwide
A federal judge on Friday blocked a Trump administration effort to expand fast-track deportations throughout the U.S. under a process known as expedited removal, indicating that officials are trampling on migrants’ due process through the policy’s expansion.
While it will almost certainly be appealed, Friday’s order is a major setback for the Trump administration’s mass deportation efforts, including its campaign to arrest asylum-seekers at immigration courthouses across the U.S. — an operation that has relied on the expansion of expedited removal.
The ruling by U.S. District Judge Jia Cobb paused a January directive that had expanded the expedited removal policy — long limited to border areas and recent arrivals — to anywhere in the country and to those who arrived in the past two years.
But WHO is going to pick the lettuce and corn for us??? (Continue to full article)
Adidas, Walmart, Home Depot, and Other Major Brands Say Trump’s Tariffs Are Pushing Them to Raise Prices
Prices are expected to go up this year as many companies signal plans to raise them in response to President Donald Trump’s slew of tariffs
While firms raise prices for many reasons, some were blaming price hikes on tariffs long before Trump’s so-called “Liberation Day” on April 2. That’s when he announced a 10% baseline tariff on imports from most countries, except Canada and Mexico, and a host of “reciprocal” tariffs on top of that.
The situation is fluid, as various countries continue to negotiate potential trade deals with the US.
Some economists have said that Trump’s tariffs — and the uncertainty with his overall trade policy — could lead companies to raise prices on the goods they produce…. (Continue to full article)
Trump: 275,000 Illegals Booted Off Social Security
Trump said Thursday that approximately 275,000 illegal immigrants have been purged from the Social Security database, as well as tens of thousands more beneficiaries over the age of 160 who were still receiving checks.
Trump spoke at the Oval Office to mark the 90th anniversary since the taxpayer-funded safety net for seniors was signed into law by Franklin D. Roosevelt.
“We’ve already kicked nearly 275,000 illegal aliens off of the Social Security system. Many of them have already left the country, and yet we were sending them checks all the time.“… (Continue to full article)
In Trump’s Year of Cost-Cutting and Efficiency, National Debt Soars Past $37 Trillion
U.S. national debt has topped $37 trillion, drawing warnings from economists and business leaders. President Trump’s plan to repay the debt centers on tariffs, cost-cutting, and growth programs. Critics argue the impact is likely to be minimal. Meanwhile, White House deputy press secretary Kush Desai told Fortune the debt-to-GDP ratio has fallen under Trump and will keep improving with pro-growth policies and record tariff revenues.
Trump has got plenty of ideas about how he’ll address national debt: He’ll pay it down through tariffs, or offset some of the borrowing thanks to proceeds from his “golden visa” program.
He’s also said he’ll rebalance the debt-to-GDP ratio by growing the economy, and would reduce the need for as much borrowing thanks to initiatives like the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)… (Continue to full article)
Zohran Kwame Mamdani
That’s exactly what has happened in Chicago. And New York City is also facing fiscal Armageddon shortly after the almost-certain next mayor, Zohran Mamdani, has to propose his first budget.
There aren’t enough “rich people” to “pay their fair share” or “greedy corporations ” to “pony up” for the two cities to balance the books without huge tax increases. The budget shortfalls facing New York City, and especially Chicago, are historic and horrifying. Continue reading
In Memorium
Cancel culture – political correctness amped up on steroids, the self-righteousness of a narcissistic age, and a mass-marketed pseudo-morality that is little more than fascism disguised as tolerance – has shifted us into an Age of Intolerance.
Nothing illustrates this more clearly than President Trump’s latest executive order calling for criminal charges for anyone who burns the American flag – a symbolic act long upheld by the Supreme Court as protected political expression.
This push is not about patriotism – it is political theater. Continue reading
I like pancakes as much as the next person. In fact, I like them better when I can order them alongside meatloaf and mashed potatoes at 1:30 in the afternoon while buying a Kenny Rogers CD (for a CD player I haven’t had in a decade) in the gift shop. That, my friends, is one of the privileges of being an American.
But let me be clear: I could not care less what the Cracker Barrel logo looks like. Continue reading
I have to admit that I am feeling pretty frustrated today. Last week, there was so much optimism that we could finally see peace, but now “war fever” has returned with a vengeance.
The situation in the Middle East threatens to spiral out of control, there is a very real possibility that the U.S. military could soon be conducting operations in Mexico and Venezuela, and it appears that our last chance for peace with Russia could be going up in smoke.
I was writing about a coming war with Russia many years before it became fashionable, and I continue to warn in the strongest terms possible about what will happen if we do not reverse course. But of course world leaders do not listen to people like us, and they continue to make decisions that could drag us into the unthinkable. Continue reading
In the age of Trump, even the most boring of political positions can find themselves in the center of the political news cycle. In recent weeks, it has been the Bureau of Labor Statistics. After severe revisions to previous job reports, Trump fired BLS Commissioner Erika McEntarfer and has nominated E.J. Antoni, who – if nothing else – has claimed to be a fan of Murray Rothbard.
Usually a changing of the guard at a position such as this would go on with little fanfare. In fact, one of the reasons why BLS Commissioners typically overlap from presidential administration to presidential administration is that it has traditionally been seen as a low-priority position for a president’s agenda.
So why has this become an issue now? Continue reading

This is the age of science. We are led by facts and data, not faith and superstition.
That’s what we’ve been told for centuries. And mostly we have believed it. We have good medicines, tremendous technologies, and instant information about everything. This is the product of science.
And yet, every orthodoxy is subject to abuse when it is no longer questioned. This is what we’ve experienced for some years now. When the scientists come along with schemes to change our lives in ways that contradict intuition, we are right to question them. Continue reading
