Defiling Consecrated Ground

This year, 2025, marks 1,250 years of the German region of Westphalia, the place where a celebrated treaty was signed in 1648 which laid the legal foundations of the modern nation state. Ours is now an age of globalists, however, at least on the EU-governed continent of mainland Europe, where, at the behest of the little people’s political “betters,” all expressions of traditional national and civilizational identities are to be systematically dismantled from above—particularly that of Christian...

We Are Being Amused and Abused to Death

“But we had forgotten that alongside Orwell’s dark vision, there was another—slightly older, slightly less well known, equally chilling: Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World. Contrary to common belief even among the educated, Huxley and Orwell did not prophesy the same thing. Orwell warns that we will be overcome by an externally imposed oppression. But in Huxley’s vision, no Big Brother is required to deprive people of their autonomy, maturity and history. As he saw it, people will come to love thei...

A “Great Thinker” at Work

Mr. Milei fancies himself to be a great monetary theorist in the Austrian tradition. To illustrate his unrivalled brilliance here are two revealing exhibits.

The first exhibit concerns the consequences of the closure of the central bank that Milei has claimed, already before his election, to be a non-negotiable demand of his. This is certainly an interesting question worthy of careful analysis. Kristoffer Hansen, for instance, has provided such an analysis from an Austrian perspective. And here ...

Does Western Civilization Have Enough Belief To Continue To Exist?

Democrats for many long years have imposed race and gender privileges, which violate the 14th Amendment’s requirement of equal protection under law and the 1964 Civil Rights Act’s statutory prohibition of race and gender quotas. In order to give preferences to women, people of color, and sexual perverts at the expense of white heterosexual men, equal protection of law was set aside.  Now Democrats are proving to us that they are only concerned with alleged rights of people of color who are immig...

Trump Urged To Address Unconstitutional Childhood Vaccination Requirements in 4 States

A national coalition of religious and medical liberty organizations urged President Donald Trump to adopt a plan to restore First Amendment rights in four states — New York, California, Connecticut, and Maine — where unconstitutional vaccine mandates continue to deny children of religious families access to education and health care.

The coalition made the request after addressing a letter to members of President Trump’s newly established Religious Liberty Commission (RLC) that has a mandate fro...

Feds Gave $79 Billion in Pandemic Relief to People With Stolen or Invalid Social Security Numbers

The federal government paid $79 billion in Covid-19 relief to individuals who likely used phony or stolen Social Security numbers (SSNs), according to a recent report from the Pandemic Response Accountability Committee (PRAC).

Under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act of 2020 and subsequent legislation, Uncle Sam shelled out $5 trillion to counteract the economic damage wreaked by federal, state, and local policies that shuttered businesses and put millions out of work...

Autopen Nation: It’s Bigger Than Biden

I just got a text from Captain Republican. “I am shocked, shocked that the White House is using Autopens.”

Oops! Now I have a text from the Wizard of Woke: “Pay no attention to the male-identifying person behind the curtain.”

Look, never mind that Joe Biden was basically incapable of performing the office of President of the United States, probably from the moment they fixed the South Carolina primary for him in 2020 to keep Bernie Sanders off the Democrat ticket.

And forget that it wasn’t until...

The Last Days of Gaza

This is the end. The final blood-soaked chapter of the genocide. It will be over soon. Weeks. At most. Two million people are camped out amongst the rubble or in the open air. Dozens are killed and wounded daily from Israeli shells, missiles, drones, bombs and bullets. They lack clean water, medicine and food. They have reached a point of collapse. Sick. Injured. Terrified. Humiliated. Abandoned. Destitute. Starving. Hopeless.

In the last pages of this horror story, Israel is sadistically baitin...

DEI Is Dying

I have always been fascinated by language and its evolution. The way it reflects and affects both reality and our perception of it. The way it can be used and abused to serve particular ends.

As an appendix to 1984, Orwell wrote an essay called “The Principles of Newspeak”. The concept was inspired by the totalitarian propaganda of his time, both of fascism and communism.
Newspeak is designed to limit thought and used to enforce conformity. Some prominent features of newspeak are judgment, emoti...
