Masks: What Are They Hiding?

The mask debate is again raging in the US, and again it is becoming a political football. Red state governors are attacked in the mainstream media for not re-imposing mask mandates while blue state governors where cases are increasing get a pass. So what's it all about? Public health? Also today - the California recall is becoming a referendum on masks and mandates. Finally - should we import thousands of Afghans?

Guess Who's The Taliban's Biggest Weapons Supplier?

The lightening-fast Taliban takeover of Afghanistan has left billions of dollars of US weapons scattered around the country for the taking. And this doesn't just mean rifles or handguns. After 20 years of fighting them, the US has turned into the Taliban's biggest weapons supplier. But the US arms merchants got paid...

Kabul Has Fallen – But Don’t Blame Biden

By Ron Paul

This weekend the US experienced another “Saigon moment,” this time in Afghanistan. After a 20 year war that drained trillions from Americans’ pockets, the capital of Afghanistan fell without a fight. The corrupt Potemkin regime that the US had been propping up for two decades and the Afghan military that we had spent billions training just melted away.

The rush is on now to find somebody to blame for the chaos in Afghanistan. Many of the “experts” doing the finger-pointing are the ones...

Why Even The Vaccinated Should Be Passionately Against "Vaccine Passports"

By Chris Rossini

​As each day passes, the picture gets clearer and clearer, and the authoritarian narrative continues to fall apart. 

As of August 2021:

- The vaccinated can give Covid to other vaccinated individuals.
- The vaccinated can give Covid to unvaccinated individuals too.
- The unvaccinated can give Covid to vaccinated .
- The unvaccinated can give Covid to the unvaccinated .

In other words, we're back to the state of affairs where anyone can spread Covid to anyone else.

And yet, the propaganda ...

Richard Nixon's Dirty Deed – 50 Years Later

By David Stockman

​It is perhaps fitting that on the 50th anniversary of Richard Nixon’s dirty deed in August 1971, the US Senate saw fit to pass a budget resolution that will add $3.5 trillion of additional girth to the nation’s already bloated and unaffordable Welfare State. As Forbes properly noted,

The Senate on Wednesday set the stage for the biggest expansion of the federal social safety net since the advent of modern-day food stamps, Medicare and Medicaid in the 1960s, approving a blueprint...

The Great Infrastructure Rip-Off: Who Gets The Money?

When everything (except infrastructure) is considered "infrastructure," politicians are basically saying that they're going to take your money, and they can make up any excuse that they want to do so. The role of government must be seriously reconsidered. We have deviated extremely far from the American government's original role of protecting individual liberty and keeping the peace.

You'll Never Guess The Education Level Of The Most Vax Resistant Americans...

Mainstream media would have us believe that those who are resisting the pressure to take the shot are low-educated, knuckle-dragging neanderthals. A new study provides some surprising evidence to the contrary. Also today, mainstream media nervous about vax effectiveness, Texas blue regions in open revolt, a teacher's plea, and more...
