Among the odd exchanges between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris at their first and perhaps only debate before Election Day was a dispute over who would better protect Americans from the growing scourge of illegal substances, especially fentanyl. This issue is of top concern to millions of Americans who have suffered the loss of a … Read more
I think you should be nice to people right up until they start trying to take your property or your natural rights. Race, sex, weight, height, faith, you know, the demographic drill. Even liking all the wrong sports teams makes no difference. Be nice. At the very least, be neutral. Agree to disagree. Don’t call … Read more
Former CNN political analyst Chris Cilizza on Monday criticized people who are downplaying the assassination attempts against former President Donald Trump. Trump faced a second assassination attempt on Sunday but experienced no injury this time as a Secret Service agent fired shots at a man with a semi-automatic rifle while the former president was golfing at the Trump International Golf Club … Read more
Ludwig von Mises depicts the aim of revolutionary socialism as: “to clear the ground for building up a new civilization by liquidating the old one.” One of the main strategies in liquidating a civilization involves dismantling its legal and philosophical foundations. This role is fulfilled by activists who embark upon “sabotage and revolution” by subverting the meaning of words: “The … Read more
Who says Democrats don’t have a sense of humor? It appears they do. A chant erupted spontaneously at a Tim Walz Event in Michigan Last week. Walz asked the crowd if anyone had “eating cats” on their bingo card, presumably in response to the alleged events in Springfield, Ohio—and this happened. From Chicks on the … Read more
One of the few areas where liberty made gains in the COVID lockdown era was the increase in homeschooling. Many parents started homeschooling out of frustration with the failure of “virtual learning” to provide children with a quality education. Other parents withdrew their children from government schools when virtual learning allowed them to discover how … Read more
A video accompanying a headline Wall Street Journal piece detailing the struggles of Ford Motor Company and its CEO, Jim Farley, shows a woman walking through an enormous electric vehicle graveyard in China as the narrator warns viewers that “Washington is worried that an oversupply of Chinese EVs will flood the global market and there are already … Read more
I’ve never been much of a fan of celebrity endorsements. While newsworthy or worthy of scorn (aged-out former stars selling adult diapers or life insurance), unless they’ve actually got some expertise, they’re just some people who did something (for money) regardless of what they’ve endorsed. Taylor Swift knows how to make money in the music … Read more
The land was not stolen, the land was homesteaded, and the indigenous people did not have the strength or cohesiveness to defend or control their land. The Thirteen Colonies were a division of a main group to allow for separation of certain geographical and religious differences while maintaining a central controlling body to unite in … Read more
September 17 is a day that I customarily set aside to walk around various business communities armed with pocket copies of the US Constitution and ask people I pass by: “What day is it?” “It’s Tuesday” was one answer. “National Donut Day” was another. But of all the hundreds of people I have asked, only … Read more
Muslims and Arabs tend to vote Democrat. I happen to think it is because they are both political religions with totalitarian aspirations. They both run the same way and pretend to be friends until there can be only one. The Left’s cultural agenda is incompatible with Islam, as is their pretending to love Israel, an … Read more
All this talk of Democracy got me thinking about what it means. The consensus among the center-right is that it represents mob rule. Fifty-plus-one pick the power brokers who may do whatever they please to everyone at their expense, with (presumably) 49.9 percent being less happy about it than the rest. Another common conception of … Read more
The Babylon Bee strikes again. PHILADELPHIA, PA — Americans across the country breathed a sigh of relief this morning following breaking news that Vice President Kamala Harris had survived an attempted interview. The incident took place late yesterday afternoon during a campaign stop in Pennsylvania when a rogue reporter reportedly approached the vice president and … Read more
Even with their rigged data (suppressed past and elevated present), the summer of 2024 was not the hottest thing to ever happen to humans in America. Seven previous June-Aug contiguous terms were higher, including 1934 and 1936, the reigning number one and number two on record. The 2024 contiguous maximum three-month average was 86.56°. The … Read more
Once again, former President Donald Trump is expanding the MAGA movement and the Republican Party by being open to new voices joining the movement and thinking outside of the box. Elections are a game of addition, and if you’re subtracting, then you’re losing. Trump is adding to his base and it can be seen in … Read more
If your energy cult predicted more and stronger hurricanes, why exactly should we invest in and rely on an energy source that is susceptible to damage from them? That’s a good question, but it’s not supposed to make sense like most everything else in the climate change policy universe. Besides, the people in charge will … Read more
If you pay more attention to the approved narratives than a caffeinated kid with ADD, you can create a paint-by-numbers picture in your mind. Republican voters are idiots. But if that’s true, then the recent decision by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court has to be a good thing. It ruled that improperly dated mail-in ballots won’t … Read more

The affidavit states how the Harris campaign was given sample question which were essentially the same … Read more
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear a case on whether the government should be able to sidestep accountability and avoid paying plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees when it has violated the Constitution. In Lackey v. Stinnie, The Rutherford Institute has joined a coalition of legal organizations in calling on the Court to affirm a ruling by … Read more
In 1966, two famous Russian literary dissidents, Yuli Daniel and Andrei Sinyavsky, were tried and convicted on charges of disseminating propaganda against the Soviet state. The two were authors and humorists who published satire abroad that mocked Soviet leaders for failure to comply with the Soviet Constitution of 1936, which guaranteed the freedom of speech. … Read more
