What Was the Benefit?

Ben Shapiro declares that Abdul El-Sayed, Zohran Mamdani, Hasan Piker, and Cenk Uygur are all ‘anti-American, Islamists‘ who ‘shouldn’t be in the country‘

The Daily Wire’s Ben Shapiro took aim at Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani, streamer Hasan Piker and Young Turks founder Cenk Uygur on Monday, accusing all four of undermining American democracy

Conservative podcaster Ben Shapiro has claimed that Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, New York’s Zohran Mamdani, and far-left influencers Hasan Piker and Cenk Uygur don’t belong in the US.

The Daily Wire founder made the declaration Monday on The Ben Shapiro Show.

‘Meanwhile, the West continues to import these people,’ Shapiro griped at a point, pointing out how all are either foreign-born or have parents who are immigrants.

None of the people I just mentioned should be in the country. None of them.’  Continue reading →

“I Will Defend My Country Against ALL Enemies, BOTH Foreign and Democrat!“

The Democrat Party [nuthin’ “democratic” about it] has largely been the enemy of America, since 1913 with the election of Woodrow Wilson to the presidency and the passage of the Federal Reserve Bank Act and the Income Tax — and they have grown progressively worse through the FDR, LBJ, Carter, Obama and Biden years to the point that they are essentially authoritarian communists demanding the complete overthrow of our American system and the eradication of our constitutional republic and traditional America Herself, along with the virtues and principles that built Her — hiding the true horror and malicious and evil intent behind their agenda in the soft, comforting term of “the fundamental transformation of America”.

Their fundamental transformation will ultimately result in Hell on Earth and the reduction of every person in America to the lowest common denominator of “equality” in poverty — except of course for those holding the reins of power. ~ Justin O Smith

New Mexico Supreme Court Halts AI Data Center Permit Process, Handing Residents a Rare Win “a Rare Win“

A pair of unanimous New Mexico Supreme Court orders has put a key part of Project Jupiter — a major artificial intelligence data center project in Santa Teresa — on pause, handing opponents a significant, though likely temporary, victory.

Here’s what to know

Willie Nelson, 93, Is Telling His Texas Hometown to Fight the Data Centers “Invading Our Land“

Willie Nelson has owned a home and farmland in Abbott, Texas since he was a kid, and he says he can still see the stars there at night. Now he’s asking his neighbors to stand up to the AI data centers moving in on rural land.

He called data centers “loud, water thieving, light polluting” in an open letter posted July 28 urging his hometown of Abbott, Texas to push back against the construction spreading across the state.

“The strength of rural America has never come from big industrial footprints,” the 93-year-old wrote. “It comes from generations of people, open spaces, local businesses, and a connection to the land.” Continue reading →

Speaker Johnson Predicts Americans Wants ‘Common Sense‘ Over Socialism

While Jeffries’s lieutenants speak out of both sides of their mouths about the creeping communist agenda — “Democratic Socialists aren’t part of the Democratic Party,” but “we’re a broad caucus” — conservatives are making it clear that the party has already been ideologically captured.

The Year of the Democratic Socialists took another twist Tuesday when the House went on the offensive to paint Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries’s (D-N.Y.) party as a dangerous force of anti-Americanism.

While the New Yorker has desperately tried to put some distance between Democrats and the DSA (somewhat unsuccessfully, others would add), the party’s drift toward mind-boggling radicalism is putting the entire country on edge. Continue reading →

Marquardt – AGENDA 21: Cancel Culture on a World-Wide Scale; Take 2

This article was originally written when Covid hit. We knew very little about the machinations of parts of our government that were working to enhance and spread Covid as far as possible. Now we even know a lot about our government’s hand in producing it and pushing the also dangerous vaccine on us. Some wondered why.

Since 1992, we, at American Policy Center have been pointing out that one of the major goals of Agenda2/Sustainable Development is to reduce the human population by over 90%. Yet many laugh and call us conspiracy theorists. What I don’t understand about this statement is that we had been hearing for decades that the world is overpopulated; that we will run out of space and room for everyone; that we can’t feed so many. At the same time that we were reading Paul Ehrlich’s Population Bomb and Population Explosion and the Club of Rome’s The Limits to Growth, America was being called the breadbasket of the world. Of the world!

We were sending food all over the world to feed people. Now…

Dickens: Power – at Any Price!

Power rarely announces itself as domination; more often, it appears as procedure, opportunity, expertise, influence, or common sense.

For that reason, its true cost is difficult to measure until citizens begin to recognize that the choices available to them have been shaped before they ever enter the debate. What costs does American society incur when power becomes concentrated more rapidly than democratic accountability can constrain it?

This question is significant because power does not merely influence policy outcomes; it also determines whose perspectives are amplified, whose needs receive institutional attention, whose risks are minimized, and whose interpretation of reality gains public authority. The central issue, therefore, is not whether power exists in the United States, but whether citizens retain sufficient capacity to hold it meaningfully accountable. Continue reading →

Hickman: Government Regulations Now add $132,000 to the Average New Home

Somewhere in America there’s a local ordinance that tells you which way your garage has to face…

                    We are TRULY living in a Bleak House!

Another one dictates what your fence can be made of, and a third sets how many square feet of window your house needs. A few spell out the dimensions of particular features down to a quarter of an inch.

The National Association of Home Builders, the trade group for the companies that build American homes, has been adding up what rules like these cost since 2011.

Its reasoning is simple: the country is short about 1.2 million homes, and rising regulatory costs are one of the things keeping builders from closing that gap. So anyone writing new rules ought to know what the existing ones already cost.

Government regulation now adds about $132,000 to the price of a new home.

That’s just over a quarter of the roughly $500,000 the average new house sold for in January. Continue reading →

Dickens: Viral Doesn’t Mean Valid: Seniors, Don’t Fall Prey to the YouTube Trap

It began the way these things often do: with my morning coffee steaming beside me, the first bitter sip still on my tongue, the news still turning over in my mind, and one ordinary click. I was looking for information on drug interactions and their possible link to cognitive decline – a subject personal enough to make me sit up a little straighter and pay closer attention.

The first video looked calm and reasonable. The speaker sounded confident. There were no flashing lights or an obvious sales pitch, just enough concern to keep me listening. So I clicked another. Then another… Continue reading →

DiLorenzo ~ Socialism Is Stupid… Here’s Why!

The nerds of socialism are just that: cowardly nerds, dorks, and geeks. For the benefit of yourself, your family, and our country, give them no comfort;

History is a beneficial way to learn. When schools cut back on history, society suffers. And we are suffering.

To all those 50 years of age and under, did you learn in school that the early American colonies were initially administered under socialism?

In the colonies of Jamestown and Plymouth, a communal labor system or agricultural socialism was used. Land was held collectively, and produce was distributed equally regardless of individual effort. Continue reading →

Snyder: 16 Facts About The Shocking Decline Of Public Education In The U.S. That Every American Should Know

Virtually everyone agrees that our public schools are in a state of decline. Needless to say, it isn’t because we aren’t spending enough money. The federal government, our state governments and our local governments are collectively spending nearly a trillion dollars a year on public education. That is a colossal pile of money. Since 1960, spending per student has increased by 350 percent. That is even after adjusting for inflation. At this stage, we spend more money per student than any other nation on the entire planet other than Luxembourg. Anyone that believes that we can solve our education crisis by spending even more money is simply being delusional.

For nearly a trillion dollars a year, we should be getting a world class education system.

But we aren’t!!!

West: Eighteen Years Ago

“We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America.”

I am quite sure y’all are looking at the title to this missive and asking, what is the ol’ Colonel talking about? Well, bear with me, please. We can recall the maxim of Chinese communist leader Mao Tse-Tung alluding to the “long slow march” towards communism. We know that this insidious and murderous ideology was first introduced to the world by one Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels in their book, “The Communist Manifesto.”

Here in America, communists introduced themselves into our country with the clever marketing rebranding of “progressive.” They at one point even went so far as to abscond with the misappropriated label of “liberals.” Of course, the Father of Classical Liberalism, John Locke, would be utterly appalled to know that Marxists had kidnapped his philosophy, well, just the title, but none of his principles. Marxists believe that they should have complete power, control, and domination of the life, liberty, and property of the individual. Matter of fact, they have vehement disregard and disdain for the individual, as Mamdani said, “We will replace the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism.” Continue reading →

Minick: A Voyage to Nowhere: The Decline of American Culture

In Paul Clayton’s collection of short stories, “Seeing Sunny Again,” we meet Carl Melcher. It’s the early 1960s, and Carl, who will enter high school in a week or so, has spent the summer hanging out on a beach longing without success to find a girlfriend. On this particular evening, he decides to try his luck at Luigi’s, a pizza parlor.

In Luigi’s, six girls who are about his age are sitting around a table in the back. Carl notices the redhead who seems to be the group’s ringleader, but it’s the girl beside her who attracts his attention. Too intimidated to approach them, he’s eating his pizza when the redhead appears and encourages him to ask the other girl out. With the other girls all giggling, Carl invites Janet for ice cream. She agrees, then reaches for a pair of crutches and stands. It’s then that Carl sees “the smooth, pinkish stump below her knee where one of her legs should have been.” Continue reading →

Benson: As Much As Some Hate It, God Wins In The End

There are those who will hate God’s victory and will fight against it in this world. But in the final analysis, they can do nothing about it. I woke up early this morning for some reason and as I lay there, some of the words from Martin Luther’s hymn “A Mighty Fortress Is Our God” came to mind which I will note here – “Did we in our own strength confide, our striving would be losing. Were not the right man on our side, the man of God’s own choosing. Dost ask who that might be? Christ Jesus, it is he. Lord Sabaoth his name, from age to age the same. And He must win the battle.” Continue reading →

Johnson ~ Children: God’s Gift or Economic Liability?

The Real Reason Behind the Birth-Rate Collapse Is Spiritual and Cultural

Margaret Sanger

I recently read Felix Yang’s article “The Six Nooses: How Interventionism Is Strangling the Family’s Will to Reproduce,” published by the Mises Institute and printed on a financial website.[1] Yang contends that the collapse in birth rate is not a mysterious cultural anomaly. Instead, he argues it is the rational response of individuals living under a century of government interventions that have broken the link between parental sacrifice and long-term reward. He identifies six “nooses” that strangled the benefits of having children. According to him they were all economic. In other words, Yang was saying that because of government regulations the economic reward of having children has been strangled. Continue reading →

DeWeese: Are AI and its Massive Data Centers the Answer for a Free Society or Its Greatest Threat Ever?

“He that walketh with wise men shall be wise, but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.” ~ Proverbs 13:20 (KJV)

President Trump claims that AI Data Centers are “one of the biggest driving forces for the future of jobs.” He goes on to state that they are “sought as cash cows, with lower taxes and record setting jobs.” These have become the major selling points to local government as used by the Data Center builders. Prosperity, jobs, the new infrastructure for American progress! And of course, the number one argument is that we must not “lose Data Centers, AI, and this incredible new Technology to China.”

However, incredibly strong opposition to the huge Data Centers in local communities across the nation has shocked the promoters, including President Trump. The President has responded by forcefully stating that “you can’t fight it, you have to go with it”! And he has charged that it’s the “Radical Left Democrats” that are leading the growing opposition.

Dickens: America Isn’t Just ANGRY Anymore It’s ~ Anti-EVERTHING America!

America Isn’t Just ANGRY Anymore…

It’s suspicious of itself!

That’s how 53% of American adults describe the morality and ethics of their fellow citizens: bad, according to a global Pew Research Center survey reported by the Detroit News. Let that sit for a second. More than half of us don’t just think the country is off track. We think the people around us are.

That should bother us. Political disagreement is one thing. Moral suspicion is another. When Americans stop believing their neighbors can be wrong in good faith, every argument starts to look like proof of corruption, ignorance, hatred, or treason.

You can see it everywhere now: yard signs, bumper stickers, school board meetings, court rulings, elections, and dinner tables. Politics doesn’t just shape what people think anymore. It shapes who they trust, who they avoid, and who they assume is dangerous.

That’s where the Constitution comes in…
