Trump Won! So Who Are the People Who Voted for Harris/Walz?

Karma is a thing. But if there is one thing those of us who pay attention to politics learned throughout this presidential campaign it is that Kamala Harris was unqualified to have been vice president, not to mention president.

She was a DEI hire with no qualifications other than her race and gender. She did nothing, accomplished nothing, as vice president. Then, thanks to the longtime cover-up of Biden’s dementia, she was imposed upon us without a single vote being cast for her, and her deficit...

Here’s What Trump’s Peace Plan Might Look Like & Why Russia Might Agree To It

Putin might agree to freeze the conflict along the Line of Contact in spite of prior rhetoric against this scenario in the event that Trump threatens to escalate the conflict as punishment if he doesn’t.

Trump’s pledge to resolve the Ukrainian Conflict in 24 hours is unrealistic, but he’ll inevitably propose a peace plan at some point in time, thus raising questions about what it would look like and whether Russia would agree to it. More than likely, he’ll seek to freeze the conflict along the L...

‘Pope Joan’ Smear Returns with a Vengeance: Conclave’s Hermaphroditic Pope

I went to see the movie Conclave because someone who came to my Sunday Mass said that she was wondering how much was “real” about it. She had been to the Sistine Chapel and loved the fact that some of the movie’s scenes were presented in a nice mock-up of the place. She said her husband took some time to remember that they had been there on a recent trip to the Vatican.

How real was the movie? I had only read about some reviews that said that it made the conclave a merely political event and tha...

American Christians: Now Let’s End the Cold Civil War

Trump has won. Now is the time for Christians to love their enemies. It’s time to show Democrats and Republicans both that the only way forward for America is the Christian way.

For too long, Americans have been locked in a “cold civil war” in which both sides have been at each other’s throats, without any understanding between them.

On the one side, the Democratic party has swallowed Marxism, leading them to where they are now: promoting child sacrifice as “reproductive rights.” And since they ...

Will Trump Buckle Again on the JFK Records?

A fascinating situation has now developed between President-elect Donald Trump and the U.S. national-security establishment with respect to the long-secret JKF-assassination-related records that the CIA has succeeded in keeping secret for more than 60 years. Despite Trump’s campaign vow to release those records, it’s not at all clear how this matter is going to be resolved. I will give my prediction at the end of this article.

There are three major factors at play:

1. During his 2024 campaign, T...

Israeli Historian: Israel’s Wars Could Lead To Its Downfall

This column is being written before the voting in Tuesday’s national election has concluded, so obviously I have no knowledge of the election’s outcome (but I expect a clean sweep for Trump and the GOP). When it comes to the subject of Israel, however, it matters little who is elected president—except I expect a Trump administration would be far more hawkish in the Middle East than Harris. But Harris would be more hawkish in Ukraine. So, there you go. Wars must go on.

Regardless of who wins the ...

Trump and Ukraine

How will a president-elect Donald Trump handle the war in Ukraine?

I doubt that he will be able to close down the war in 24 hours, as he had promised. I rather think that he will escalate it. As I stated two weeks ago:

I expect the new president to double down on the anti-Russian project in Ukraine …

A new Wall Street Journal piece on Trump’s promise does not give me any reason to believe otherwise.

Trump Promised to End the War in Ukraine. Now He Must Decide How. (archived

Trumpquake

Fasten your seatbelts: whatever happens, Trumpquake is bound to be a bumpy ride.

On the political Richter scale, that was a killer – literally. What was supposed to be a Liberal Totalitarian Show was brutally, unceremoniously, swept out of the park – any park. Even before Election Day, critical thinking was aware of the stakes. With fraud, Kamala wins. With no fraud, Trump wins. There were, at best, (failed) attempts at fraud. The key question still remains: what does the U.S. Deep State really ...

Tax Cuts Without Spending Cuts Won’t Reduce the Taxpayers’ Burden

As this election cycle has demonstrated yet again, Democrats are not shy about calling for tax increases. In every election cycle they call for more taxes, whether through corporate taxes or through taxes on unrealized capital gains.

Donald Trump, meanwhile, has pledged to cut some taxes. I say “some” because Trump has also pledged to raise taxes on imports.

Nonetheless, Trump ran on the idea that he would reduce the tax burden on Americans if elected.

Unfortunately, Trump has no plans to cut go...
