Ron Paul’s Influence on Charlie Kirk and the Maga Schism

Ron Paul’s Influence on Charlie Kirk and the Maga Schism

by | Nov 17, 2025 |

“I love Ron Paul. Ron Paul is awesome. I would have Ron Paul on the show regularly. He is a hero because Ron Paul had the courage to … challenge old sacred cows of the Republican Party.” – Charlie Kirk, July 17 2025 Ron Paul’s 2008 and 2012 presidential campaigns influenced and inspired many young people, especially when the candidate spoke at college campuses. One of those young people was Charlie Kirk. As a teenager Kirk attended events of the Tea Party, the organic grassroots movement...

The Real Affordability Agenda

The Real Affordability Agenda

by | Nov 17, 2025 |

Donald Trump’s victory in the 2024 presidential election was due in large part to his promises to pursue an America First foreign policy and rein in inflation. One year later, prices remain high, and President Trump is more focused on overseas meddling than on the American people. This has helped enable Democrats to win governor races in Virginia and New Jersey, and self-described Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani to win the New York City mayor race by running on “affordability.” Since the...

Is Donald Trump the ‘Fidei Defensor’ for Christians?

Is Donald Trump the ‘Fidei Defensor’ for Christians?

by | Nov 15, 2025 |

I actually thought there might be some good news coming out of the Donald Trump White House but it turns out that I was likely mistaken. Trump treated the American public and a worldwide audience to an extended harangue targeting Nigeria for its alleged mistreatment and even killing of Christians. He threatened something like a military intervention similar to his aggressive posturing in Latin America and the Middle East complete with US soldiers “boots on the ground” to address the...

Justice Department Office Which Justified Torture Now Argues For Killing

Justice Department Office Which Justified Torture Now Argues For Killing

by | Nov 14, 2025 |

In 2003 the U.S. Justice Department’s Office of Legal Council (OLC) issued a memo which declared the use of torture in ‘authorized military interrogations’ as legal when done under the ‘president’s constitutional authority to direct a war’. The memo was widely condemned. The Obama administration withdrew it but refrained from prosecuting the torturers which had used it as cover. The Trump administration now issued a comparable OLC memo to justify its wanton killing of alleged drug...

An Ideal Foreign Policy

An Ideal Foreign Policy

by | Nov 13, 2025 |

Americans living today have lived their entire lives under governmental systems and policies that have come with perpetual war, interventionism, embargoes, sanctions, coups, state-sponsored assassinations, extrajudicial murders, foreign aid to brutal regimes, torture, invasions, occupations, tariffs, trade wars, immigration controls, an immigration police state, wars of aggression, out of control federal spending and debt, and massive infringements on civil liberties. From the first grade on...

Can the President Disrupt Free Speech?

Can the President Disrupt Free Speech?

by | Nov 13, 2025 |

While the country’s attention was drawn to the federal government shutdown, President Donald Trump signed National Security Presidential Memorandum 7 (NSPM-7), which purports to designate the ideology of antifa as a “domestic terrorist organization” and directs federal law enforcement to disrupt its gatherings and those of its supporters. The gist of NSPM-7 appears to be the president’s view that the United States suffers from an enemy within our borders, an enemy that consists of Americans...

Western Cross-currents: Cultural Populism vs Deep Architecture

Western Cross-currents: Cultural Populism vs Deep Architecture

by | Nov 12, 2025 |

The starting gun for the US 2026 Midterms was fired this week with three consequential elections and a key re-districting poll held in California. The Democrats swept three major races (NY, NJ, VA) and won the re-districting proposition in California. Californian re-districting could give the Democrats a further five seats in the House. But the lens by which to understand these events perhaps is better that of the last British general election: The governing party was both discredited and...

Who Really Owns America? The Banks, the Billionaires, and the Deep State

Who Really Owns America? The Banks, the Billionaires, and the Deep State

by | Nov 12, 2025 |

“The politicians are put there to give you the idea that you have freedom of choice. You don’t. You have no choice. You have owners. They own you. They own everything... It’s called the American Dream, ‘cause you have to be asleep to believe it.”—George Carlin As President Trump floats the idea of 50-year mortgages, Americans are being sold a new version of the American Dream—one that can never truly be owned, only leased from the banks, billionaires, and private equity landlords who...

Congressional Republicans Must Stand Up to the President on Venezuela!

by | Nov 10, 2025 |

I recall when then-President Barack Obama was planning to send troops to enforce his “Assad must go” policy in Syria, many Republican US Senators passionately argued that the US President must come to Congress for approval before sending US troops into combat overseas. At the time, they portrayed themselves as brave defenders of the US Constitution. Last week, when the Senate held a vote to remind President Trump that he is required to seek approval from the Legislative Branch before launching...

Who Died and Made Trump the Global Drug-War King?

Who Died and Made Trump the Global Drug-War King?

by | Nov 10, 2025 |

According to NBC News, the Trump administration is now considering a military attack on Mexico. That’s on top of Trump’s obvious internal struggle on whether to do the same to Venezuela. Another possibility is Columbia, whose president, according to Trump, is an “illegal drug leader.” Oh, the difficult life of an interventionist drug-war president who is ostensibly set on making America great again. Who to attack first? Who to kill? How many to kill? Which killing route will be more apt to...

Kyrgyzstan’s Forgotten Colour Revolution

Kyrgyzstan’s Forgotten Colour Revolution

by | Nov 8, 2025 |

October 5th marked the 25th anniversary of the world’s first “colour revolution”, in Yugoslavia. A lavishly-funded, multi-pronged CIA, NED and USAID campaign exploited civil society actors, in particular youth groups, to dislodge President Slobodan Milosevic from power. Such was the effort’s success, US officials and media openly boasted about Washington’s central role. A slick ‘documentary’ on the unrest, Bringing Down A Dictator, was even produced. Milosevic’s fall also...

Onward Christian Soldiers

Onward Christian Soldiers

by | Nov 8, 2025 |

Somewhere between New York’s Studio 54 disco and the White House, Donald Trump became infused by militant Christianity. At the same time, he also seems to have been imbued by the most extreme, far-right Zionism. Politics do odd things. Trump may espouse a lot of oddball causes, but he’s no fool. He lives and breathes politics. This week’s political rabbit out of the hat is, of all places, Nigeria, Africa’s most populous nations, with 232 million rambunctious people. As with many of today’s...

America’s ‘Ceausescu Moment’

America’s ‘Ceausescu Moment’

by | Nov 7, 2025 |

Revolutions are funny things. They start out almost imperceptible. The final straw itself may be as inconsequential as a single voice in the crowd whose words unleash a tidal wave that sweeps aside the seemingly intractable old order forever. Even as the cracks in the Eastern Bloc began to materialize in 1989, starting in June in Hungary, Nicolae and Elena Ceausescu's Romania seemed impervious to the winds of change. They maintained a cult-like grip on power aided by the notorious and...

Tucker Carlson Dines With Zacchaeus

by | Nov 6, 2025 |

Tucker Carlson sat down with Nick Fuentes, and the gates of hell yawned open – at least according to the professional pearl-clutchers of Conservative Inc. Eric Metaxas, the radio host who once fancied himself a Bonhoeffer for talk radio, thundered that Carlson had supped with the devil. Dinesh D’Souza, whose documentaries make for sensitivity training for senior citizen field trips, warned that this interview was a bridge too far, a moral Rubicon that could only lead to the ovens. Then came...

Can the President Tax You?

Can the President Tax You?

by | Nov 6, 2025 |

This week the Supreme Court will begin the process of deciding if the president can impose a sales tax on products and services which originate in foreign countries and are purchased in the United States. The president calls these taxes tariffs. Tariffs are nearly as old as the republic and when imposed by Congress -- as they have been going back to the presidency of Thomas Jefferson -- are clearly constitutional. Yet the questions before the court ask if Congress delegated away to the...

Rule by Thieves: The Police State Becomes a Pay-to-Play Shadow Government

Rule by Thieves: The Police State Becomes a Pay-to-Play Shadow Government

by | Nov 5, 2025 |

America has been backsliding into kleptocratic territory for years now, but this may finally be it. A kleptocracy is literally “rule by thieves.” It is a form of government in which a network of ruling elites “steal public funds for their own private gain using public institutions.” As analyst Thomas Mayne explains, it’s “a system based on virtually unlimited grand corruption coupled with, in the words of American academic Andrew Wedeman, ‘near-total impunity for those authorized to loot by...
