This Is How Your Life Will Look Like Under the Coming Martial Law

Martial Law is by far one of the greatest nightmares we might face, one that leaves many preppers up at night.

This is because it can occur in the midst of any natural or man-made disasters.

The march into Martial Law is frequently overlooked by the general population, often branded as nonsense or something belonging to conspiratorial websites. Yet what’s going on in this country is just what our founders have warned us of, and Martial Law is something they’ve taken very, very seriously.

‘Liberation Day’

Happy Liberation Day!

Aside from our senses, what are we being freed from?

A properly functioning market? The greatest quality and quantity of goods sold at competitive rates? Producers having to innovate to excel? The ability to buy what we want without giving government a bigger cut?

Whatever deliverance we’re promised was postponed by a day, so Americans wouldn’t think the jokers in charge were playing them for fools.

But this afternoon, at long last, our president will unshackle us from fore...

Unconquerable Yemen

SANA’A, Yemen – No wonder the Roman Empire called it Arabia Felix.

It’s 3 pm in Al-Sabeen square in the Haddah neighborhood of Sana’a on Friday, March 28, Al Quds Day, at Ramadan, only two days before Eid al-Fikr, and the crowd of over one million Yemenis stretches to the horizon, gently surrounded by naked hills in the distance and with the grand Al-Saleh mosque framing the foreground.

The foreign pilgrim climbs to a small stage and after all his pilgrimages across the world and the lands of Is...

A Conference for Peace and Prosperity

Last week I was one of the featured speakers at a conference in Texas hosted by the Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity. Ron Paul himself hosted the events. He will be 90 years old later this year and is still speaking out through a daily TV show and a weekly column.

The other main speakers were David Stockman, who was President Reagan’s budget director; Tom Woods, host of a leading national podcast; Jeff Deist, head of a company called Monetary Metals; and Daniel McAdams, a foreign poli...

Disaster Relief Is Just as Illegitimate as Foreign Aid

The county of Burma or Myanmar has seen its share of natural disasters. A devasting cyclone in 2008 killed tens of thousands of people and left hundreds of thousands more homeless. To make things worse, the country has suffered from internal conflict for 50 years, and is currently in the midst of a civil war.

Last month it was a devasting 7.7 earthquake that hit Myanmar. Over 2,000 people are confirmed dead, thousands are injured, and countless numbers of people are still buried.

Tariffs: Meet Halfway to Freedom?

President Trump is determining equivalent reciprocal tariffs, considering remedies, and estimating fiscal impacts on the national government and information-collection costs to the public.

Fast, extensive change, even change that’s initially for the worse, works out best for freedom. Even so, tariff increases have done serious harm and have persisted for decades.

It’s worth discussing constitutionality, harms, dynamics, and options.

Tariffs unconstitutionally deprive each perso...

L’État, C’est Moi (‘I Am the State’).Trumpian Version

Can we get down to the brass tacks here?

As much as the MAGA folks and friends would like to believe that Trump’s Golden Age of American Prosperity is steaming down the pike, and giving him full credit for slaying a lot of political devils like DEI, green energy, weaponizsation of the DOJ/FBI, getting boys out of the girls’ swim lanes, ending the disaster in Ukraine, standing up Elon Musk and the DOGE boys, canceling the penny and scuttling daylight savings time, too, the truth needs be told.

Can Affirmation Be Restored to American Mores?

Which is the most irresponsible organization on earth?  The American media or the Democrat judges?

It is a difficult call, but I think the designation of most irresponsible goes to the presstitutes.  The presstitutes are no longer confined to the print and TV media and NPR, but include many internet sites.  There are plenty that are irresponsible independently of ideology and agendas, and there are many websites set up by liberal and leftwing foundations, as well as by USAID and National Endowme...

Navigating Our Brave New World

Are you a tech optimist or pessimist? Do you think our advancing technology—in areas such as artificial intelligence, quantum computing, robotics, and space technology—will make our world better or worse? And do you think the new technologies of the last two centuries have more helped or harmed the advancement of mankind?

I’ve found that the more traditional a Catholic is, the more likely he is to answer those questions pessimistically. He’s more inclined to be skeptical of the claims coming fro...
