The Heroic Joe Sobran

In these times of war in the Middle East, I often think of my late friend, the great and brilliant Joe Sobran.  If Joe could be with us today, it’s clear what he would be saying. Why does the US support Israel uncritically? How is doing so in our national interest? What about the rights of Palestinians to their land?

How do we know he would say these things? Because this is exactly what he did said in 2002.

“In my 21 years at National Review, I had a front-row seat. I watched closely as Bill Buc...

California Is Dumping Radioactive Waste Into the Pacific

While forcing new “climate change” policies on the slave class and making them pay for the ineffective (and fraudulent) green initiative in California, the rulers are dumping what is likely radioactive waste into the Pacific Ocean. Even the Los Angeles Times indicated that pollution in the Pacific Ocean off the California coast could be even more dangerous than originally thought.

Using a deep-sea robot, UC Santa Barbara scientists discovered an eerie graveyard of leaking barrels in 2020, spread...

Great Propaganda

The political “elite” clearly look on the rest of us as cattle to be herded, tagged, corralled and culled by their betters. That view of the rest of humanity justifies all manner of crimes against the herd and explains why their treatment of the  citizenry who place their trust in them is so amoral.

It is important not to lose sight of the fact that justifying their egregious treatment of the citizenry by pointing out the alleged dangers of the pandemic does not hold water. These people knew dam...

Technocensorship: When Corporations Serve as a Front for Government Censors

“Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear. We must, therefore, be on our guard against extremists who urge us to adopt police state measures. Such persons advocate breaking down the guarantees of the Bill of Rights in order to get at the communists. They for...

MSNBC, Paul Krugman Panic Over ‘White Rural Rage’

“Tom, I’ll start with you,” began Mika Brzezinski. “Why are rural white voters a threat to democracy at this point?”

Fastball delivered, University of Maryland professor and co-author of just-released White Rural Rage: The Threat To American Democracy Tom Schaller took a swing. He and Mika first complained rural voters should be supporting Joe Biden, given his roots — you’d have to be pretty high to call Scranton “rural,” but whatever — then Schaller read off small town America’s charge sheet: ...

Signs of Deadly Times

Among the exemplars of political fads, the left’s creedal yard sign is surely one of the funniest. They’re a bit weatherworn now—and very 2020—but a few remain as fixtures around town; with slight variations on the wording, they serve as the unofficial Progressive’s Creed. More than that, they advertise just how gullible the homeowners still are, even in 2024. No amount of facts or statistics to the contrary can dissuade such neighbors from proclaiming their devotion to a suicidal cause.

The National Security State Has Already Won in U.S. Versus Assange

A British court is currently deliberating in what is probably the last appeal by Julian Assange in the U.S. government’s efforts to extradite him to stand trial in the United States for illegally disclosing war crimes committed by the U.S. national-security state. If Assange loses this appeal, it is a virtual certainty that he will be quickly loaded onto a plane and shipped to the United States, where U.S. prosecutors will seek a conviction and a very long jail sentence in a high-security federa...

Ukraine Aid Is Support for Socialism

Progressives keep trying to logroll Ukraine aid by bundling it with Israel aid, Taiwan aid, border amnesty, or conservative-supported border legislation, which, like existing statutes, would be defied.

In the Senate, $61 billion additional aid for Ukraine was passed with cloture votes from 17 Republicans (Capito, Cassidy, Collins, Cornyn, Ernst, Grassley, Kennedy, McConnell, Moran, Murkowski, Romney, Rounds, Sullivan, Thune, Tillis, Wicker, and Young).

In the House, Republican Brian Fitzpatrick ...

The Hazards of One-way Communication and What to Do about Them

Care about what other people think and you will always be their prisoner. –Lao Tzu

When one of our small-group ancestors saw another’s face, unless the second ancestor was blind, the seeing of faces was mutual. This “mutual seeing” results in “two-way communication.” But today there are folks who haven’t ever seen your face at all, yet you may still feel you know them face-to-face – – – because you have seen their faces.
