OPINION: In Defense of National Borders

February 27, 2026 Wanjiru Njoya

In his essay on “Right Wing Populism” Murray Rothbard proposed to build a political coalition to overcome one of the main obstacles faced by liberty movements at election time, namely, the problem that “the numbers simply weren’t there.” Building a popular coalition would address the numbers problem by uniting those who share political goals in common, even … Read more

Unraveling the “One Nation” Myth

July 31, 2023 Op-Ed

You’ve been lied to. America is not “one nation.” I know this feels shocking. You’ve proclaimed the United States of America is “one nation, under God, indivisible” your entire life. But you’ve been parroting a myth.

Whose Fault Is This?

July 23, 2023July 23, 2023 Op-Ed

The Constitution was supposed to create a general government limited to a few specific listed powers. Instead, we ended up with the biggest, most powerful government in the history of the world.

America’s Disastrous and Shameless Border Sentinels

November 7, 2022 Peter Lemiska

With all the chaos on our southern border, no one can know the exact number of immigrants who have illegally scrambled into our country through Mexico. But according to the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), five and a half million foreign citizens have illegally entered our country since Joe Biden took office.

Are People Smartening up about the Strings Attached with Federal “Money Gifts”?

March 2, 2022 Skip

For years, I’ve talked about that Federal “grants” are no such thing as they are PAYING other government and private sector entities for stuff that appear to be appealing but there are far more expensive costs associated. In our town,

The Biden Plan Hinges Upon Speed, Terrorism, and Neutering State Government Leadership.

September 29, 2022November 9, 2021 California Refugee

In my past articles, I have attempted to show you how the Biden plan operates. Specifically, the plan uses the law of CONTRACTS to impose vaccine mandates. To simplify, it tells federal contractors, MEDICARE/MEDICAID vendors: either impose a vaccine mandate on your employees or go bankrupt by losing federal money.

Proper Aspirations Under the Constitution

October 11, 2020

Americans can ask no more from their federal government than what they find in the constitution. This is the crux of the differences in our society today. The Marxists demand government control everything. Conservatives say no, that is not America’s system of government.

Notable Quote – Democrats Now Stand For The Exact Opposite Of The Declaration Of Independence

July 4, 2020 Skip

When the elected delegates went off to the Continental Congress to represent the people of the 13 colonies, and eventually to sign the Declaration of Independence, everyone in America was a “subject.” However, alive in the hearts of those “subjects” who were delegates to the Continental Congress was a unique vision; a vision of life … Read more

The UN is on a Collision Course with the Self-Government of the American People

September 26, 2019 Percy Blakeney

There are many issues before us today. The President has little to say about North Korea currently. But he does express hope for a diplomatic path towards denuclearization. President Trump said,”…I’ve told Kim Jong-un, what I truly believe, that like Iran, his country is full of untapped potential.

Letter Doodlings – You can’t be just a little sovereign

September 26, 2018February 4, 2012 Skip

Dr. Leo Sandy (aka “the nutty professor”), I guess, had a problem with my rebuttal in the Laconia Daily Sun and decided to try to lambast me (his full Letter after the jump):

U.S. Public Law 107-243 is as invalid as the Jim Crow laws of the south used to be because both are based on false premises. History is full of bad laws that were changed only after being broken. I’m sure the Saudis who attacked the World Trade Center had their own versions of these laws as well, and their cause was equally unjustified.

Mr. Murphy is engaging in concrete, black/white, either/or, dualistic thinking that is one of the greatest obstacle to world peace. Absolute sovereignty and total world government are both abhorrent structures as far as I’m concerned.

He seems to have a problem when things are the way he wishes (really, a Congressional Law is “Jim Crow”….so of course, I answered!

Letter to the Editor – Professor Leo Sandy is wrong on all counts

September 26, 2018January 31, 2012 Skip

His two Letter are after the jump – here is my Letter discussing his “points”:

Leo Sandy may be “amused by writers who chide me for violating bad laws” but I’m reduced to guffaws at his latest letters attempts to not only re-write history but also declare what are enforceable laws and facts. For an Education Professor, he proves his need for his own remedial tutoring.

While he does not care for the fact that the U.S. is yet still a sovereign nation, this remains a non-negotiable fact. I remind him that although we participate in the UN and some UN treaties, we have not as of yet ceded that sovereignty (a fact that must raise his one-world angst often). Thus, the U.S. does not need permission from the UN in advancing its own interests (which stray far, thankfully, from Dr. Leo’s).

John Lynch Must Go!

September 26, 2018October 9, 2010 Steve MacDonald

New Hampshire Democrats, and John Lynch have seen their own policy goals mirrored on the big screen in Washington DC and they could not be happier. Every time the feds have a handout, no matter what the strings, Lynch grabs it with both hands, pimping out the Granite State for one time Federal dollars with … Read more
