A New Era in American Politics: The Kennedy-Trump Alliance

On August 23, 2024, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced, in his address to the nation, that he would be suspending his presidential bid to endorse President Donald J. Trump. RFK Jr. declared that while his name would no longer be on the ballot in crucial swing states, voters would still be able to cast ballots for him in other states.

When I wrote a piece for Crisis Magazine on May 29, 2023, titled “Robert F. Kennedy Jr.: The Presidential Dark Horse,” I looked forward to the prospect of a run-off be...

Immigrant-invader Gangs Busy at Work ‘Liberating’ Colorado Apartment Houses

Dear Americans, you desperately need to WAKE UP. You are losing your country and your liberty and your property by the minute, and almost half of you are about to vote to keep in power the Democrats who are destroying you.

In Colorado heavily armed immigrant-invader gangs are taking over apartment buildings. Possession being nine-tenths of the law, the gangs have run off the management and now collect the rents. The local city council cannot get the woke dumbshit Democrat governor to even acknow...

Now Comes the ‘Good Squad’ and the Great Realignment

When in the course of history’s twists and turns dire necessity becomes the mother of invention the hour is usually late. That’s the case with America’s septic fiscal derangement at the present time. There is simply not a snowball’s chance in the hot place that either the Trumpified GOP or the beltway blob-controlled Democrats will lift a finger to deflect America’s fiscal doomsday machine from its appointed rendezvous with disaster.

The latter stems from the UniParty’s bargain with the fiscal d...

The Decline of the Pro-Life Movement

With the overturning of Roe v. Wade, and with the sidelining of anti-abortion policies by the GOP in favor of expanding child tax credits and other such economic interventions, one might be wondering what on earth has happened to the pro-life movement? Ever since the 1980 election and the Reagan movement, over four decades of political relevance, they have never been sidelined by the GOP until now. The usual pro-lifers—conservative and moderate pastors, their churchgoers, political commentators,...

When Words Lose Their Meaning

The little shrike who broke the neck of Ukrainian democracy stays busy firing his ministers and generals. He wants longer range missiles from NATO, and permission to use them to strike deep into Russia.

“They’re killing our citizens. That’s why we want to deter them, we want to stop them, we don’t want [to] allow their aviation to come closer to our borders to bomb the cities,” [Ukraine Defense Minister] Umerov told CNN.

If I didn’t believe what the US government tells me, I’d think this sounds ...

Why Military Conscription Is Worse Than Slavery

Libertarians understand — or should understand — that military conscription is a form of slavery or involuntary servitude. In fact, everyone should understand this. And yet conscription has been employed by the U.S. government for the past 161 years, ever since Abraham Lincoln signed the first federal conscription act into law in March 1863, enslaving thousands of American men.

For those who are killed in battle or executed for desertion, conscription is worse than slavery because it robs them o...

Bankrupt Dioceses Need To Fail

Recently, a friend expressed his frustration with the Justice for Survivors Act signed in the California legislature in 2023. This Act ends the civil statute of limitations for minors who have experienced sexual abuse. While my friend vehemently agrees that abusers ought to get their reckoning, he took issue with the preponderance of claims related to clergy who were long deceased. The result of this preponderance is the necessity for several dioceses in California to file for bankruptcy, while ...

Robert Reich Calls for the Arrest of Elon Musk for Resisting Censorship

We have previously discussed the anti-free speech views of Clinton’s former Labor Secretary, Robert Reich, who has tried to sell citizens on the perfectly Orwellian view that more freedom means tyranny when it comes to the freedom of expression. He also demanded that former president Donald Trump be banned from ballots as a “traitor” — all in the name of protecting democracy from itself. Last week, Reich wrote a column declaring Elon Musk “out of control” in his refusal to censor citizens and ap...

The Enemy Within… Netanyahu Faces His Biggest Threat Yet From Furious Israeli Public

The Israeli public mood is turning decisively against the rule of Benjamin Netanyahu following the recovery of six dead hostages.

The Israeli public mood is turning decisively against the rule of Benjamin Netanyahu following the recovery of six dead hostages.

Israel claims the hostages were shot execution-style by Hamas fighters as their troops closed to rescue them. Hamas says they were killed by Israeli bombardments. Israeli media report that autopsies show bullet wounds. But given the torrent...

Populism Trumps Merkelism in Saxony and Thuringia

Nearly as important as the US Presidential elections this year are the state elections in Germany this month. All of the states that have gone or will go to the polls are strongholds for outsider, anti-globalist Alternative for Germany (AfD).

But why would state elections in the former East Germany be so important ?

It’s not because populism is popular, though that is an unqualified good thing.

It is because there’s much more at stake here than it appears at first glance, due to the vagaries of ...
