Children of Big Brother: What It Means to Go Back-to-School in the American Police State

Children of Big Brother: What It Means to Go Back-to-School in the American Police State

by | Sep 5, 2024 |

It’s not easy being a child in the American police state. Danger lurks around every corner and comes at you from every direction, especially when Big Brother is involved. Out on the streets, you’ve got the menace posed by police officers who shoot first and ask questions later. In your neighborhoods, you’ve got to worry about the Nanny State and its network of busybodies turning parents in for allowing their children to walk to school alone, walk to the...

Now, the Feds Are Spying on Congress

Now, the Feds Are Spying on Congress

by | Sep 5, 2024 |

“Those who have sown the wind shall reap the whirlwind.”-- Hosea 8:7 The federal antipathy to compliance with the Constitution is well known and well documented. Presidents have declared war in contravention of the constitutional command that only Congress may do so. Congress itself has enacted legislation in areas that the drafters of the Constitution reserved to the states -- and it has done so using some of the more absurd linguistic contortions thinkable. In one infamous case where the...

Tyranny Is Closer Than You Realize

Tyranny Is Closer Than You Realize

by | Sep 5, 2024 |

It is strange that there is no discussion of it, but in two weeks and one day on September 18 Donald Trump, the Republican candidate for president in the November election in two months, is scheduled by a corrupt Democrat “judge” to be sentenced for 34 felony counts pulled out of thin air by a corrupt Democrat prosecutor for how Trump’s accountants reported an expense. Trump’s accountants reported the expense as a legal expense, which was a reasonable classification of the expense, but the...

TSA Tyranny Goes Cutesy

TSA Tyranny Goes Cutesy

by | Sep 3, 2024 |

In the glorious age of the Kamala Ascendency, the TSA is no longer restraining its contempt for American travelers. After squeezing millions of butts and boobs and never catching a terrorist, TSA decided to have fun by taunting its victims.  After a traveler asked online, “Why does TSA need social media anyways?” TSA’s Instagram account taunted: “Idk Kyle, why do your friends keep bringing stuff they shouldn’t in their carry-on?” Almost 40,000 people liked that post (slightly fewer than...

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

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

by | Sep 3, 2024 |

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...

Russia Updating Nuclear Weapon Doctrine Due To Western ‘Escalation’ Of Ukraine War

Russia Updating Nuclear Weapon Doctrine Due To Western ‘Escalation’ Of Ukraine War

by | Sep 3, 2024 |

In the latest worrisome saber-rattling sparked by the US-led proxy war in Ukraine, Russia announced it's revising its doctrine on the use of nuclear weapons, saying a change has been necessitated by "escalation" initiated by the country's Western adversaries.  Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov told TASS that the update was precipitated by an analysis of  "recent conflicts" including "Western adversaries’ escalation course" in the Ukraine...

Trump and Harris Ignore a Great Danger Facing America

by | Sep 2, 2024 |

The Penn Wharton Budget Model, a think tank headquartered at the University of Pennsylvania, recently released a study claiming former President Donald Trump’s economic plans would add about four trillion dollars to the national deficit over ten years while Vice President Kamala Harris’s economic plans would add about two trillion dollars.Vice President Harris would increase the deficit largely through expanding refundable tax credits such as the child tax credit. Low-income Americans can...

Technofascism: The Government Pressured Tech Companies to Censor Users

Technofascism: The Government Pressured Tech Companies to Censor Users

by | Aug 29, 2024 |

“Internet platforms have a powerful incentive to please important federal officials, and the record in this case shows that high-ranking officials skillfully exploited Facebook’s vulnerability... Not surprisingly these efforts bore fruit. Facebook adopted new rules that better conformed to the officials’ wishes, and many users who expressed disapproved views about the pandemic or COVID–19 vaccines were ‘deplatformed’ or otherwise injured.”—Justice Samuel Alito, dissenting in Murthy v....

Searching for Monsters

Searching for Monsters

by | Aug 29, 2024 |

“America goes not abroad in search of monsters to destroy …She might become the dictatress of the world,But she would no longer be the ruler of her own spirit.”-- John Quincy Adams (1767-1848) In the middle of his term as Secretary of State, the future president John Quincy Adams addressed a joint session of Congress. What prompted this unusual event? The United States had just fought Britain to a draw in the War of 1812. It was fought almost entirely in Canada. Some historians believe the...

Democrats Lose Effort to Block Cornel West from Michigan Ballot

Democrats Lose Effort to Block Cornel West from Michigan Ballot

by | Aug 27, 2024 |

For months, we have been discussing the concerted effort of Democrats to bar challengers to President Joe Biden from primary ballots and block third-party candidates like Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and Cornel West from appearing on the November ballots. As both Joe Biden and Kamala Harris insisted that “Democracy is on the ballot,” their allies sought to deny the ability of voters to cast their ballots for other candidates. Now, a state judge has issued a stinging denial of the...

The Western Way of War – Owning the Narrative Trumps Reality

The Western Way of War – Owning the Narrative Trumps Reality

by | Aug 27, 2024 |

War propaganda and feint are as old as the hills. Nothing new. But what is new is that infowar is no longer the adjunct to wider war objectives – but has become an end in and of itself. The West has come to view “owning” the winning narrative – and presenting the Others as clunky, dissonant, and extremist – as being more important than facing facts-on-the ground. Owning the winning narrative is to win, in this view. Virtual “victory” thus trumps “real” reality. So, war becomes rather the...

by | Aug 27, 2024 |

The Israeli Defense Ministry said Monday that the US has delivered over 50,000 tons of weapons and other military equipment since the start of Israel’s genocidal campaign in Gaza, demonstrating the Biden administration’s staunch support for the slaughter. Since October 7, 107 ships and 500 transport planes have brought US military aid shipments to Israel.

Do We Finally Have a Peace Ticket?

by | Aug 26, 2024 |

Just as the Harris/Walz campaign was looking for a boost from the content-free Democratic National Convention last week, real drama broke out that pulled the country’s attention back toward Republican candidate Donald Trump. Rumors had been swirling for days that Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. might suspend his independent run for the White House and endorse Donald Trump and on Friday he did just that. In his powerful speech explaining the decision, RFK, Jr. made it clear that suspending his run was...

Russia Is Not Our Enemy

Russia Is Not Our Enemy

by | Aug 23, 2024 |

Given the ongoing war between the United States and Russia in Ukraine, it’s natural for Americans to conclude that Russia is our enemy. Not so. Our enemy is instead the US national-security establishment — i.e., the Pentagon, the CIA, and the NSA — the entity that is responsible for the war in Ukraine and that is destroying our lives, liberties, and well-being here at home. Our American ancestors would have understood this phenomenon. If the Constitution had called into existence a...

Democrats Release Insanely Hawkish Middle East Policy Platform

by | Aug 22, 2024 |

Celebrity progressive Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez falsely claimed that Vice President Kamala Harris “is working tirelessly to secure a ceasefire in Gaza” at the Democratic National Convention on Monday night. There is literally no evidentiary basis anywhere for this assertion. She made it up. Kamala Harris is not “working tirelessly” to do anything at this time besides become the next president. Her own staff are saying she is opposed to an arms embargo on Israel...

The Political Matrix Sustains the Illusion of Freedom

The Political Matrix Sustains the Illusion of Freedom

by | Aug 22, 2024 |

What you smell is the stench of a dying republic. Our dying republic. We are trapped in a political matrix intended to sustain the illusion that we are citizens of a constitutional republic. In reality, we are caught somewhere between a kleptocracy (a government ruled by thieves) and a kakistocracy (a government run by unprincipled career politicians, corporations and thieves that panders to the worst vices in our nature and has little regard for the rights of American...
