Who’s Trying To Stop America From Being Healthy Again?

Now that RFK Jr.’s confirmation hearings are about to begin (today on 1/29—which can be watched here and tomorrow on 1/30), we are entering one of the most pivotal moments in the history of America’s health. Because of this, I believe it is critical to understand the context behind what’s actually going on, and for each of us to immediately contact our Senators by phone and email (whose contact information can be found here).

I thus significantly revised a eight-week-old article on the war again...

VW Cancels a Device

More good news from the front lines – in the war against the pushing of devices.

VW has just announced it won’t be bringing one of its newest devices – the ID 7 sedan – to the United States. On account of “changing market conditions,” by which is meant there’s not much of a market for devices – and because of the changes ushered in with the ushering out of the Biden regime.

The new Secretary of Transportation, Sean Duffy, has “directed the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to recons...

The Beatitudes

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.

Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’...

Palestinian Christians: Suffering Alone and Ignored by the Body of Christ

For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. (I Corinthians 12:12, 13)

And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it. Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. (...

Trump’s American Expansion and my Beach Ball Globe

Two months ago President Trump announced his ambitions to enlarge the United States.

Specifically;

In Latin America, Trump wants to retake the Panama canal, rename the Gulf of Mexico and bring Mexico to heal. This superficially evokes the Monroe Doctrine but more cogently involves controlling South America with its economic, political and migration problems.

Parenthetically a lack of rain in Central America may make the Panama Canal become unusable for modern navigation. In recent years hundreds...

The Democrats Who Stole an Election and Imprisoned the Protesters Must Be Held Accountable

The release of the pardoned J6 political prisoners has, for the most part, gone well, but in a few instances vindictive Democrat officials still hold a few of the pardoned.  It is a fluid situation, and my figures might be out of date by the time you read them.

The worst offender is the black female mayor of D.C. who at last report has not released 12 of the pardoned.  Kentucky is still holding 6, and there are a few others being held here and there.  Democrats in Pennsylvania were looking for a...

The Fed Is Ignoring Key Data

Shortly after yesterday’s FOMC announcement, Peter went live to unpack its aftermath. He criticizes the Federal Reserve’s decision to hold rates steady, offers insight into Jerome Powell’s press conference remarks, and skewers the notion that the Fed remains “apolitical.” Peter also addresses President Trump’s evolving commentary on oil prices and interest rate cuts as 2025’s economic challenges continue to mount.

Starting with rumors surrounding a potential Trump-driven interest rate cut, Pete...

Halt Of USAID Exposes Malign Foreign Influence

A few days ago the Trump administration put a 90 day stop on foreign aid:

Friday’s memo shocked the humanitarian groups and communities conducting development aid across the globe. While the scope of the directive appears far-reaching, uncertainties linger over how it will be carried out.

The memo on Saturday offered only partial clarity.

The pause on foreign aid spending means “a complete halt,” it said. The only exceptions are for emergency humanitarian food assistance and for government offic...

Who Owns the Media?

We live in a society that is literally addicted to consuming media content.  Unfortunately, control of that content is dominated by just a handful of ultra-powerful corporations.  Back in 1983, the media industry was controlled by a group of about 50 large companies.  Today, the media industry is controlled by just 6 gigantic corporations.  They own  television networks, streaming services, cable channels, movie studios,  newspapers, magazines, publishing houses, music labels and even many of ou...

William McKinley: Prostitute of Protectionism

In his inaugural address President Trump called President William McKinley (1897-1901) “great” and proudly announced that he had changed the name of Mount Denali in Alaska back to Mount McKinley. The reason the president picked McKinley of all past presidents to heap praise upon is that McKinley was a lifelong political tool of big business, primarily Northern state manufacturers who championed protectionist tariff taxes so rabidly that he was called “the apostle of protectionism” and “the Napol...
