Why Conservative Christians Oppose Marijuana Ballot Initiatives

Why Conservative Christians Oppose Marijuana Ballot Initiatives

by | Nov 13, 2024 |

Conservative, evangelical, and fundamentalist churches in Florida are rejoicing and thanking God that Amendment 3 on the Florida ballot to legalize the recreational use of marijuana was rejected by Florida voters. Although a majority of people in Florida did vote in favor of the amendment, it needed to receive a 60% supermajority to be approved. The ballot summary of Amendment 3 read: Allows adults 21 years or older to possess, purchase, or use marijuana products and marijuana accessories for...

What is Donald Trump Doing?

What is Donald Trump Doing?

by | Nov 13, 2024 |

Let me state up front that I am no “Trump fan-boy.” But I am sure that what I am about to write will lead some of you to accuse me of that. So be it. When you listen to my interview earlier today with Danny Davis, I was quite disturbed by the news (still unconfirmed) that Trump planned to appoint Marco Rubio as Secretary of State. Rubio is a lightweight on all counts and not a deep strategic thinker. But then came tonight’s stunner — Trump named Fox News host, Pete Hegseth, as his...

The West’s Very Fundamental Accumulating Contradictions

The West’s Very Fundamental Accumulating Contradictions

by | Nov 12, 2024 |

The election has occurred; Trump will take office in January; many of the existing Party Nomenklatura will be replaced; different policies will be announced – but actually taking power (rather than just sitting in the White House) will be more complex. The US has devolved into many disparate fiefdoms – almost princedoms – from the CIA to the Justice Department. And regulatory “agencies” too, have been implanted to preserve Nomenklatura hold on the System’s lifeblood. Pulling these ideological...

Make Way for the Colonel

Make Way for the Colonel

by | Nov 12, 2024 |

In the wake of the former and future president Donald Trump’s historic electoral victory, the mandate for an America First foreign policy has never been clearer. The American electorate has expressed a desire for a departure from the entrenched globalist strategies that have long characterized U.S. foreign policy. At this pivotal moment, the former Colonel Douglas Macgregor, a man of valor, intellect, and a fierce advocate for national sovereignty, emerges as the quintessential figure to help...

Iran Strongly Denies US Claims It Was Involved in Plot To Kill Trump

Iran Strongly Denies US Claims It Was Involved in Plot To Kill Trump

by | Nov 12, 2024 |

Iran’s Foreign Ministry has strongly denied US claims that Iran was involved in an alleged plot to kill President-elect Donald Trump, dismissing the charge as a way to “complicate matters” between the US and Iran. On Friday, the US Justice Department announced charges over the alleged plot, claiming that Iranian officials asked an Afghan national who currently resides in Tehran to surveil and ultimately assassinate Trump. “Who can in their right mind believe that a supposed...

The Second Resistance Movement: Why the Campaign Against Trump This Time is Different

The Second Resistance Movement: Why the Campaign Against Trump This Time is Different

by | Nov 11, 2024 |

Below is my column in The Hill on the growing calls for an organized resistance to the Trump Administration by Democratic governors and prosecutors. They may find, however, that the resistance movement this time around will be facing significant legal and political headwinds. Here is the column: The single most common principle of recovery programs is that the first step is to admit that you have a problem. That first step continues to elude the politicians and pundits who unsuccessfully...

Two days after Donald Trump became the first American since Grover Cleveland to win nonconsecutive presidential elections, the Federal Reserve announced a quarter percent cut in interest rates. Following this announcement, Fed Chairman Jerome Powell held a press conference where he said that he would not comply with any presidential request that he step down before his term ends in May of 2026. Powell claimed that the president lacks the legal authority to fire the Fed chairman. So, if...

The CDC Planned Quarantine Camps Nationwide

The CDC Planned Quarantine Camps Nationwide

by | Nov 8, 2024 |

No matter how bad you think Covid policies were, they were intended to be worse.  Consider the vaccine passports alone. Six cities were locked down to include only the vaccinated in public indoor places. They were New York City, Boston, Chicago, New Orleans, Washington, D.C., and Seattle. The plan was to enforce this with a vaccine passport. It broke. Once the news leaked that the shot didn’t stop infection or transmission, the planners lost public support and the scheme collapsed.  It...

Will Trump Buckle Again on the JFK Records?

Will Trump Buckle Again on the JFK Records?

by | Nov 7, 2024 |

 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...

What If Voting Is Fruitless?

What If Voting Is Fruitless?

by | Nov 7, 2024 |

What if you were allowed to vote only because it didn’t make a difference? What if no matter how you voted, the elites always got their way? What if the concept of one person/one vote was just a fiction created by the government to induce your compliance? What if democracy as it has come to exist in America today is dangerous to personal freedom? What if our so-called democracy erodes the people’s understanding of natural rights and the reasons for government and instead turns political...

Post-Election Truths: The Things That Won’t Change (No Matter Who Wins)

Post-Election Truths: The Things That Won’t Change (No Matter Who Wins)

by | Nov 5, 2024 |

“If voting could ever really change anything, it’d be illegal.”— Thorne, Land of the Blind (2006) After months of handwringing and mud-slinging and fear-mongering, the votes have finally been cast and the outcome has been decided: the Deep State has won. Despite the billions spent to create the illusion of choice culminating in the reassurance ritual of voting for Donald Trump or Kamala Harris, when it comes to most of the big issues that keep us in bondage to authoritarian...

If ever a war could easily have been avoided, the war in Ukraine is that war. 

by | Nov 5, 2024 |

Address to the U.N. Security Council, Oct. 31, 2024 Thank you, Madam President, and thank you for giving me this opportunity to address this distinguished body. If ever a war could easily have been avoided, the war in Ukraine is that war. If ever a war was needlessly provoked, the war in Ukraine is that war. The war in Ukraine came about as a result of the Western powers’ single-minded insistence on scooping up every single country on the European continent into NATO, and on expanding the...

Pat Buchanan Was Right…And Young Conservatives Agree!

by | Nov 4, 2024 |

As we arrive at today's election, there is good news in the US conservative movement regardless of who wins. While the old guard - mostly "boomers" - who still cling to the levers of power continue to mouth the tired old shibboleths ("peace through strength," "rules based order," "our greatest ally"), a new generation of young conservatives has emerged that is revitalizing the Old Right view that the focus of conservatism should be to conserve what is actually great about the United States....

With JD Vance and Elon Musk, Suddenly Ideas Are Back in this Campaign

by | Nov 4, 2024 |

This presidential campaign season may be one of those turning points in history for reasons good and bad. Anyone watching the one debate between the Republican and Democratic Party candidates would not have come away with the view that this was a great battle of competing principles and visions for the future. It was a campaign of name-calling and bullets, where one candidate avoided discussing ideas at all costs – and even avoided the media at all costs. Where the other candidate dodged two...

Flashback: How Yeltsin Gleefully Drove Bill Clinton to Tears. Who’s Crying Now?

by | Nov 2, 2024 |

Yeltsin grinned while Clinton cried. The Russian president had just blurted out his unfiltered reaction to American news reporting. It was October, 1995. Clinton and Yeltsin had just spoken at the United Nations 50th anniversary meeting. The next day the two presidents got together at Hyde Park, New York for a bilateral meeting followed by a press conference. It was then that Yeltsin told the media his take on his US visit. He said that when he came here that October he did not have the degree...

Dumpster Fire: White House Press Office Faced Internal Criticism Over the Rewriting of President Biden’s Garbage Comments

Dumpster Fire: White House Press Office Faced Internal Criticism Over the Rewriting of President Biden’s Garbage Comments

by | Nov 1, 2024 |

Since the “Let’s Go, Brandon” incident, the media has been repeatedly accused of reframing news or rewriting words to benefit the President or the Biden-Harris Administration. This week, the White House Press Office and various media outlets like Politico and MSNBC have been ridiculed for denying that President Joe Biden called Trump supporters “garbage.” It has created a weird dissonance as Democratic politicians denounced what the White House and many in the press denied was said....
