Cardello: We Are More Than A Divided Country

June 16, 2025 Ray Cardello

For someone like me who loves this country and has a sense of patriotism nurtured from birth, this article is challenging to write and even more difficult to fathom. We have become a nation not just divided by two vastly different ideologies with a common goal, but we are a people divided by what is … Read more

Njoya: The Southern Cause: What Led to Secession

July 9, 2025June 1, 2025 Wanjiru Njoya

It is correct, analytically and logically, to distinguish secession from war. Many states secede peacefully, and it does not logically follow that secession must occasion war. The Southern states of America seceded peacefully, and Lincoln’s subsequent war which followed four months after secession was entirely unnecessary. Hence, Murray Rothbard wrote in his memo to the Volker Fund in 1961 … Read more

Did Abraham Lincoln Preserve or Destroy the Union?

January 30, 2025 David Gordon

Walter Kennedy’s outstanding new book is much more than a defense of Robert E. Lee from the charge of treason, though it is certainly that. Kennedy offers us a careful analysis of the nature of the union of states established by the Constitution, in the course of which he argues that Abraham Lincoln—far from being … Read more

Are We Really Under Threat?

October 22, 2024 Burt Janz

There have been innumerable editorials in various publications and opinion show broadcasts about a possible “civil war”. These comments have been made by both sides in reference to the other side, and are supposed to reflect a possible reaction to the election of either candidate. I find this rhetoric to be misleading and somewhat horrifying, … Read more

On Any Impending Guerrilla War?

June 25, 2024 Steve Earle

Everything Steve wrote a while ago about a revolution by conservatives is pretty much true. If the Left is in power, when someone shoots back against Antifa or BLM, they (the Left) would love to declare a national emergency and deploy federalized troops to crush resistance.

Would Texas be Justified in Seceding?

June 15, 2024 Skip

Progressives’ only desire (it seems) is to control as many people and things as they possibly can, so this topic gives them heartburn (“How DARE you to defy us!!!”).

The Uncivil War The Left So Desperately Wants

May 31, 2024May 28, 2024 Steve MacDonald

I was working on a long-form Substack post for Memorial Day, and as I was revisiting the history, something interesting occurred to me. The Civil War’s Decoration Day became Memorial Day, and one of the South’s pre-Civil War Concerns is similar to modern Americans’ current problems.

Who Should You Believe? Nikki Haley, Joe Biden, or Abe Lincoln?

December 28, 2023 Ian Underwood

Nikki Haley is in some hot water because she didn’t say that the cause of the Civil War (or the War of Northern Aggression, as it’s called in some parts of the country) was slavery. Looking to score some points, Joe Biden chimed in on social media, saying ‘It was about slavery.’

Biden Airlifts 70 Government Workers Out of Sudan, Leaves 16,000 ‘other’ Americans Behind

April 24, 2023 Steve MacDonald

American citizens left behind in Sudan may have to accept that to Joe Biden, they are a lot like military hardware in Afghanistan. They were left behind to be sold to China or “used” by the locals.

No Power Greater Than Themselves

April 2, 2023 Steve MacDonald

It is essential for everyone, regardless of their political preference or affiliation, to understand something. The people pursuing power by any means possible do not see any power in heaven or on earth greater than themselves.

Making “The Country Explode™” is the Point

Promoted from the Comments – Conservatives Need to Understand That Their Opposition Is Not Seeking Compromise, but Conquest

May 31, 2022May 30, 2022 Skip

I really liked Michael Graham’s piece that says America can’t fix anything lately – and Kurt Schlichter’s (Notable Quote) amplifies it. As always, I’m scanning the comments to both see what the temperature of our readers is while looking for thoughtful remarks that make good points. Agent Liberty left such a comment here on Graham’s piece.

Bette Midler, the Mouth That Roars

May 29, 2022 Steve Earle

At this point in 2022 with elections looking to go very red in November the left is getting increasingly desperate. Celebrities seem near panic as evidence (has been) star Bette Midler, trying to be relevant, has reportedly urged demonstrators going to protest at the Republican National Convention “to go armed”. And here I thought Bette … Read more

Cycle Theory and Civil War – Is This What the Left Wants?

December 27, 2021 Steve MacDonald

I’m still trying to get the training wheels back on this thing so bear with me but this episode is shorter, as originally promised. In five minutes I pose questions based on the idea that America is in decline.

The College Democrats of America (CDA) are Self-Destructing

November 20, 2021 Steve MacDonald

The College Democrats of America (CDA) have started their own internal ethnic war. Totem-Pole victim-class factions are carpet-bombing each other’s leadership with accusations of bigotry over…past tweets. It’s gotten so bad the DNC is ready to break ties with the national organization.

Jab Judo: The Pharmacist Gambit

November 18, 2021 NITZAKHON

In Jab Judo I discussed using the Vaxxer’s rules and terminology against them – following the Left’s “patron saint” Saul Alinsky and – specifically – his Rule 4:
