The Metaphor of the Moment

The passage of events seems to be whirling round at the speed and intensity of a tornado. The dynamic actuality or threat of war, revolution, natural disaster, genocide, economic collapse, pandemic, and dystopian world government confuse the mind into a kaleidoscope of mush. But these are not my metaphors of the moment. The big moment is the Trump inauguration and the ascendancy of his new administration. I think like most readers of LRC that there is reason for hope. Trump himself appears to re...

Biden’s Parting Warning

From the Tom Woods Letter:

As Joe Biden has begun his fade into oblivion, to be loved in the future only by historians with their useless and laughable rankings of the presidents, he shared with us some farewell remarks.

George Washington, he is not.

Among many other things, he said:

President Eisenhower spoke of the dangers of the military industrial complex. He warned us then about “the potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power. End of quote.” Six decades later, I’m equally concerne...

Why Aren’t Hospitals Incentivized To Save Lives?

During COVID-19, we witnessed something previously unimaginable. A national emergency hospitalized thousands of Americans, where they were cut off from their loved ones and inevitably died. It soon became clear that the hospital protocols did not work, but regardless of how futile conventional care was, patients in our hospitals could not get the alternative therapies they needed.

This led to a sobering realization throughout America—what many of us believed about our hospitals was utterly incor...

Trump Must Not Flunk His Litmus Test

Trump’s litmus test awaits him on the Oval Office desk.  The litmus test is the pardon for every one of the wrongly indicted and wrongly prosecuted January 6 Trump supporters–which means all of them–who attended the rally and were persecuted for doing so.  If Trump fails to immediately issue a full and unconditional pardon to all, he will lose the support of MAGA Americans.

If Trump waits, the Establishment will erode the prospects of pardons. “Don’t embarrass Justice Department prosecutors and ...

How the World Would Change Without Fuels

Are you the kind of prepper that suspects that diesel and gasoline will become unavailable soon after a major social collapse occurs? 

If so, then you have to read this article!

You may have made any one of the following decisions that can spell absolute destruction once these fuels are no longer available.

Since diesel and gasoline were only invented in the late 1800’s, it will not be so hard to “go back” to a lifestyle without these fuels. Even though there are isolated groups of people throug...

Please Do Not Eat on Inauguration Day

I have done New Age type fasting cuz some New Age type gooroo said to. It was interesting.

I have done trendy health regime intermittent fasting cuz some trendy health regime type gooroo said to. It was useful.

So it is not like I am a stranger to fasting.

But then one day, I tried to fast AND pray because the Bible says to, or at least seems to say to.

Boy oh boy.

Did that blow all the rest out of the water.

And in time I came to incorporate periods of fasting and prayer as a part of my life.

I...

Biden’s Sordid Legacy: Ravaged Rights and Liberties

Joe Biden’s presidency ends on January 20, 2025. There will likely be a media stampede to hallow his reign and trumpet his virtues. But Biden perpetually trampled his January 20, 2021, oath to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”

In his 2022 State of the Union address, Biden declared, “When dictators do not pay a price for their aggression, they keep moving.” And he kept moving until his own political party dumped him. Later in 2022, President Biden proclaimed th...

Joe Biden: An Assessment

You’re aware, I’m sure, that a lot of people thought “Joe Biden” was being play-acted in the White House over his four years there by a series of look-alike actors. You saw those news items comparing “JB’s” earlobes to the old gaffer who showed up at the podium on a given day. Hmmmmmm. . . . I was not persuaded by any of that. “Joe Biden” has simply been impersonating himself — play-acting the role of “president.” The mystery is how he got there.

You can expect very shortly, probably only a matt...

Israel Against The World – With US Aid

I once represented a man charged with first-degree murder.  At the preliminary hearing, the courtroom was filled with the family and friends of the victim.

When my client was led out of the holding cell, the officer who brought him out leaned over and whispered to me: “Boy, it’s you against the world – you against the world.”

Today it’s Israel against the world, aided and abetted by the US due to mega millions in campaign contributions.

On Nov. 20, the US cast the only “No” vote in the U.N. Secu...
