The Tide Has Turned: Kamala Sinking Like a Lead Balloon; Trump Taking off Like a Rocket!

You know things are looking bad for Kameleon Harris when even the progressive Los Angeles Times declines to endorse her.

In fact, just last week, both Wayne Allyn Root and Paul Manafort compared this election to that of 1980, when Ronald Reagan trounced Jimmy Carter in a landslide victory. They predict that Trump is about to have a similar landslide. American voters didn’t like inflation under President Carter and they like it no better under Biden and Harris, among other things.

Manafort—who te...

The Ever Widening War

Zero Hedge, normally a reliable site, reports that the US Department of Defense and the NATO Secretary General claim that 10,000 to 12,000 North Korean soldiers have joined Russian forces in Kursk to help drive out the Ukrainian incursion.  

The Pentagon spokeswoman, Sabrina Singh, says that if these North Koreans do for Russia what French troops and NATO personnel are doing for Ukraine, the US will remove its ban on NATO firing missiles into Russia from Ukraine.  

As Putin has said, this would ...

U.S. Mercenaries Killed in Russia, West Goes Hysterical on Dubious North Korea Claim

NATO and Western leaders would prefer to fantasize about North Korea than to admit the truth of their “grave escalation” on Russia’s borders and reckless threat to world peace.

“It’s a grave escalation in this war and a threat to global peace,” said European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen this week.

It certainly is an alarming development that American, Canadian and Polish mercenaries were killed in action on Russian soil this week. The members of a recon and sabotage unit were elimin...

Genocidal Scorecard

A United Nations report, published on Monday, lays out in chilling detail the advances made by Israel in Gaza as it seeks to eradicate “the very existence of the Palestinian people in Palestine.” This genocidal project, the report ominously warns, “is now metastasizing to the West Bank, including East Jerusalem.”

The Nakba or “catastrophe,” which in 1948 saw Zionist militias drive 750,000 Palestinians from their homes, carry out more than 70 massacres and seize 78 percent of historic Palestine, ...

The Media Musk? Why the Cancel Campaign Targeting Jeff Bezos Could Backfire

Below is my column on Fox.com on the expanding boycott of the Washington Post by Democratic politicians, pundits, and members of the press. The reason? Because owner Jeff Bezos wants to stay politically neutral and leave the matter to the public. In an age of advocacy journalism, the return to neutrality is intolerable. The reaction is itself revealing. In a heated meeting this week at the Post, writers were apoplectic with attacks on Bezos and alarm over the very notion of remaining neutral in ...

Fourth Turning Election Igniting a Firestorm

“Imagine some national (and probably global) volcanic eruption, initially flowing along channels of distress that were created during the Unraveling era and further widened by the catalyst. Trying to foresee where the eruption will go once it bursts free of the channels is like trying to predict the exact fault line of an earthquake. All you know in advance is something about the molten ingredients of the climax, which could include the following:

Economic distress , with public debt in default, ...

Yeah, Yeah, UNRWA Is Hamas. Everyone Israel Hates Is Hamas.

The Israeli Knesset has banned UNRWA, an absolutely critical agency for getting humanitarian aid into Gaza, with the architect of the bill saying this was happening because “UNRWA equals Hamas”.

In addition to everything else this genocide has been, it’s been a colossal insult to our intelligence. UNRWA is Hamas. Hospitals are Hamas. Journalists are Hamas. Civilian infrastructure is Hamas. Ambulances, schools and mosques are Hamas. The women and babies — okay maybe they’re not technically Hamas,...

A Tour De Force Defense of Natural Law

Liberating Liberty: Life, Liberty, Pursuit of Happiness and the Creator of Man is a new book written by Bert Schwitters.

From the Foreword of Liberating liberty …

… The central theme of Liberating Liberty is the notion that the true Telos, the Cause and Ultimate Goal, of the united States of America was defined in the Preamble of the Declaration of Independence as the common defense of their constituents’ unalienable rights to Life, Liberty and their Pursuit of individual Happiness, to enable th...

Will Tuesday’s Vote Counts Be Another Sham Biden-Harris Statistic?

If Kamala Harris wins the presidential election on Tuesday, Americans will be told that the final vote count is a sacred number that was practically handed down from Mt. Sinai engraved on a stone tablet. Any American who casts doubt on Harris’s victory will be vilified like one of those January 6, 2021 protestors sent to prison for “parading without a permit” in the US Capitol. Actually, anyone who doubted the 2020 election results was being prominently denounced as “traitors” even before the Ca...
