German Bishops Wade Into Party Politics

American English speakers are familiar with the axiomatic question Is the pope Catholic? Applied instead to the bishops of Germany, the answer isn’t obvious.

The recent announcement of a commission for “queer” pastoral care is the latest in a long line of heretical ventures from Luther’s homeland. From a theological perspective, there is little to add to assessments like Dr. Regis Martin’s here. However, when these heterodox bishops venture into the realm of secular party politics, they ought to...

Washington Post Calls on VP Kamala Harris To Step Down

As readers know, I have wondered how the ruling elite are going to get their puppet Biden reelected. His own Justice Department cleared him of charges the Justice Department is pressing against Trump for having national security documents in his unauthorized possession by ruling that President Biden is too mentally incompetent to stand trial. No one expects Biden to be able to complete four more years in the White House. The Washington Post presstitute Kathleen Parker says that in view of Kamala...

Why Government Is Always the Most Dangerous Source of Misinformation

CNN opened its coverage of Murthy v. Missouri, the historic censorship case argued in the Supreme Court yesterday, as follows:

CNN — For doctors like Eileen Barrett, a pending Supreme Court case challenging the government’s ability to communicate with social media companies isn’t principally a fight about the fraught politics of online speech.

Instead, they say, it’s a matter of life and death.

“I have seen countless statements that are at best problematic and at worst flat-out disinformation th...

Communism or Fascism?

My observation is that there are only two basic types of national government:  the Laws of Rulers and the Rule of Law.  The tendency of Rulers is to seek more power; become more authoritarian; implement collectivist economies; and place themselves above the law.

That is true, of course, for those who rule here in America as well, even those who are elected.  The difference, though, is that through our Constitution, our Rule of Law, our Rulers were supposed to be subject to the same laws as the r...

Klaus Schwab Reimagining The Fourth Reich Democracy

‘With 63 democracies now outnumbered by 74 autocracies, a new Bertelsmann Foundation report highlights a global shift away from democratic governance, exacerbated by recent geopolitical events and the COVID-19 pandemic.  elections in 25 countries have been less free and fair than they were before, according to the study, which also found that in 39 countries freedom of expression and freedom of the press has been increasingly restricted.”

In that vein, Scotland just announced a new law that call...

Army Values

Conservatives are upset that the U.S. Military Academy—West Point—has removed the phrase “Duty, Honor, and Country” from its mission statement.

The phrase comes from a farewell address that retired general Douglas MacArthur—who attended West Point from 1899 to 1903—delivered to West Point cadets in 1962. The old mission statement was first formally adopted by the Academy in 1998.

The change was announced in a letter from West Point superintendent Lieutenant General Steven Gilland. The new missio...

They Laughed at Him, But Now?

From the Tom Woods Letter:

Three or four weeks ago I heard that Ron Paul had traveled to Tucker Carlson’s studio for what was sure to be a “Ron Paul was right” episode.

Fifteen minutes of that interview have been released on Twitter, with the remainder available only to subscribers at Tucker’s network.

When I spoke at Dr. Paul’s Rally for the Republic in 2008, it was Tucker who introduced me — and the other speakers. He wasn’t the Tucker he is today, but he emceed an event that was held on the o...

What a War Requires

Why does this matter, more than to my personal finances?

As you know, I believe — I think at this point it is incontrovertible – that a war is being waged upon us, one that will soon become a “hot war.” My husband Brian O’Shea, who cohosts the podcast “Unrestricted Invasion” with JJ Carrell, is documenting the positioning of military-age or gangland-age illegal-immigrant young men, in barracks-type situations in strategic points around the country. This week he went undercover to a budget hotel ...

From Boom To Bust: Fading Enthusiasm for Electric Vehicles

International Man: Outside of Tesla, fewer and fewer people want electric vehicles (EVs). Other car companies have spent billions producing EVs that buyers don’t trust. Why are they developing products their customers clearly don’t want?

Doug Casey: Perhaps they thought that if Tesla, an undercapitalized start-up run by an eccentric with no auto manufacturing experience, could become a trillion-dollar company, then how hard could it be? They forgot that Tesla is run by a genius who designed an e...
