A month ago, almost to the day, we shared Noor Bin Ladin’s Letter to America. She is the niece of Osama, the infamous terrorist “mastermind.” A distinction that she says has caused her less grief in some elite circles than her open support for Donald Trump.

Liberty and Justice for All; A Statement of Reaffirmation
The Corner (at National Review) has a serious post that I consider to be an opening shot against the Marxism that has taken hold in Academia. That, in the last two or three years, has burst out of that bubble in screams of Totalitarianism, Safetyism, and Presentism.
Quick Thought – would it even take an hour?
Seriously, it might take a little bit to figure out where they are, first. Now, let’s see how many on the Left I’ve just triggered. No, not using my trigger finger, just using their own fears against them. After all, what side of the aisle are those burning down the Democrat cities right now? And we already … Read more
The Right Could Lose a New Civil War
It is a common belief on the right side of the political spectrum to believe that “The Right” would easily win if a Civil War against “The Left” if it started. The theories are simple. “We have all the guns.” “We would just say rude things and the snowflakes would go cry in a safe space.”
Should We Buckle up Our Chinstraps?
Are we heading toward Civil War? The American Civil War was brutal. In its wake over 620,000 Americans were left dead. The population then was about 31.4 million people, which means about one person in 50 died in the Civil War. That means about 2% of the U.S. population met their death. An equivalent war … Read more
America Was Not Founded on Slavery
The idea that America founded on slavery is an ignorant misrepresentation. Ben Shapiro addressed this leftist talking point and it bears repeating.
Notable Quote – Professor Thomas Sowell
Everyone hated the idea of being a slave but few had any qualms about enslaving others. Slavery was just not an issue, not even among intellectuals, much less among political leaders, until the 18th century – and then it was an issue only in Western civilization. Among those who turned against slavery in the 18th … Read more
The J’s have it
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about a couple of things that John F. Kennedy said. The first is:
Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.
I’m reminded of this whenever people (increasingly) talk about the possibility of, and even the ‘need for’, some kind of civil war in the United States, as a remedy for our unfortunate habit of using politics and law, not to codify areas of widespread agreement, but to force submission in areas where there is substantial disagreement.
Op-Ed: Civil War
Sent in by a loyal reader, emphasis mine.
A few days ago Jack Minzey, head of the Department of Education at Eastern Michigan University as well as a prolific author of numerous books, most of which were on the topic of Education and the Government role therein, sent out the final chapter that was the last of his works. Jack passed away last 8 April 2018.
How do civil wars happen?
Two or more sides disagree on who runs the country. And they can’t settle the question through elections because they don’t even agree that elections are how you decide who’s in charge. That’s the basic issue here. Who decides who runs the country? When you hate each other but accept the election results, you have a country. When you stop accepting
election results, you have a countdown to a civil war.
Chemical Weapons Used In Syria…
Chemical Weapons Used In Syria…by the rebels. The UN is reporting that the Syrian rebels used sarin gas. U.N. human rights investigators have gathered testimony from casualties of Syria’s civil war and medical staff indicating that rebel forces have used the nerve agent sarin, one of the lead investigators said on Sunday. The United Nations … Read more
Disarming America, Moving Toward Tyranny?
“People love conspiracy theories.” —Neil Armstrong
Not so much. Yes…The internet is awash with all sorts of conspiracy theories that spin tales of how the government is going to disarm the populace and tyranny shall rule the day. A considerable amount of what is out there amount to no more than “Tin-foiled hat-wearing” doomsayers who probably didn’t get enough attention, Ritalin or positive feedback as kids. It’s there.
But on the other hand, Some of the stuff is well-written and compelling enough to literally scare the “bejesus” out of impressionable young souls. Am I dismissing much of it? Yes. But not for the
