2+ week, 4+ day ago (412+ words) Veterans Day, which was originally founded in'recognition of the cessation of hostilities in World War I rather than the commemoration of any individual, should be a holiday beyond reproach.' Veterans Day had its origin in 1918 at the end of World War I, a conflict that was at that time so horrendous that it was dubbed "the Great War" or "the war to end all wars," with the United States playing the decisive role in the Allied Powers" final victory.' It was first known as Armistice Day, celebrated on Nov. 11 because that was the day agreed upon by the Allied nations and Germany to begin a total cessation of hostilities. It went into effect on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918, after some 20 million people from both sides had given their lives in the war effort.' Veterans Day…...

1+ week, 1+ day ago (598+ words) There is no such thing as "government." It is not a thing that thinks and acts on its own. Yet the Left, and far too many on the Right, speak and act as though "government" is out there doing this or doing that -- often with almost godlike powers. "Don't worry Joe, government will take care of that!" Government -- at whatever level -- is just a large, powerful organization. That's it. "It" doesn't do anything because "it" doesn't exist. It has no agency, but instead is the result of actions of others -- elected officials, managers, worker bees -- just like any corporation. I have founded many business corporations and llcs and the legal term for them is "artificial entity." They are created by law, not nature. And thus "they" do not actually exist in the natural world. By using the idea this way,…...

1+ week, 3+ hour ago (683+ words) America was a target of Marxists long before our grandparents were toddlers. Was this just the ranting of a political rebel " New York City was a magnet for communists after the first and second world wars " or was it an aural "writing on the wall" predicting the future of America? The rest of the 20th century would tell us. The scheme of Marxists to subvert America to a communist state cropped up in the 1940s in the public schools, one of which I attended, with the introduction of what was called "Progressive Education." It has been many decades now that I and observant Americans have watched partial truths and outright lies distorting public information in support of leftist aims, delivered by apparently intelligent people in media, in education, in government, and in church. This has blurred the public's perception of their own…...

4+ week, 9+ hour ago (514+ words) Much to our national detriment, schools have become Marxist indoctrination centers where students are taught that America is a racist country through critical race theory and in that process, are taught to hate not only their country but themselves in the bargain, especially the white students. In his book The Democrat Party Hates America, Mark Levin writes: Like America's colleges and universities, the public school classroom has also become a propaganda mill for anti-American Marxist lies about racism, America's history and founding, and the principles on which this nation was founded. And the Democrat Party is all in. When we were students, learning to hate the country was unconscionable. As teachers, we taught that we live in an imperfect but noble country, ever capable of excellence; but today, too many teachers do not present this patriotic vision. Moreover, students are…...

2+ week, 6+ day ago (639+ words) Tucker Carlson invited a white nationalist troll on his podcast for a softball interview." Dave Smith and Marjorie Taylor Greene are falsely accusing Israel of genocide." Ben Shapiro has criticized President Trump for investing government money into private enterprise, along with his ongoing tariff program. Brandon Tatum has faulted other pundits for asserting that Trump will run for a third term, when the United States Constitution clearly forbids it. And now Republicans in blue states are suggesting President Trump needs to back off on hardcore, complete enforcement of our immigration laws. The left and corporate media want to characterize these personality and policy disagreements as a MAGA civil war, all to further Democrat chances of regaining power in Congress and then the White House. This fight has even spilled out into who is MAGA, or who defines MAGA.At the…...

1+ week, 3+ hour ago (339+ words) The best, most detailed description of the 28-point peace plan, what it contains and how it was presented to Zelensky is in Jeff Childer's substack. Politico said,The agency has charged 71 current and former MPs with corruption, 42 of them during the period between 2022 and 2025. 31 of the charged MPs still sit in the Ukrainian parliament." Andriy Yermak, his top aide, is under attack from Ukrainian lawmakers who demand he be fired. (Yermak appears to have found urgent affairs to attend to in Istanbul, to wherehe's decamped.) Other ministers have also resigned or skedaddled out of the country, including the former defense minister, who reportedly came to the U.S., sought asylum, and offered his cooperation in the corruption scandal. This is ugly political hardball; the Mafia-like offer that can't be refused, the horse head in the bedsheets. The only reason Zelensky wasn't himself…...

1+ week, 5+ day ago (644+ words) [AI Tucker Carlson] Photo Credit:Grok GrokIf you haven't left the Tucker train yet, hold tight: he is coming for a hero or principle you love. Confessions of an Ex-Tucker Fan In the school of Tuckerism, I was a prospective PhD. I never missed Tucker's Fox News monologues. Every night, I imbibed his lively lectures, treating his conservative social critique as a nightly devotional. His cuts into liberalism were scalpel-sharp. I once commented to my wife, after another of Tucker's surgical vivisections of some liberal propagandist, "I'd hate to be one of his liberal guests." Though sometimes, looking back, the red flags were there'baseless conspiracy theories punctuated with an emphatic "This is just true, period!he still put on a nightly clinic on how to deconstruct the left. But now the scalpel-like critiques are gone, replaced by pernicious conspiracies, reputation…...

1+ week, 1+ day ago (809+ words) Back in 2010, after President Obama had been in office for a year, it was clear that America's political divisions had reached the boiling point. I saw my country start to come apart at the seams. The American schism was almost complete and it wasn't just a political schism of two political parties. The split was even more basic. My countrymen were now divided into two distinct groups. I am not speaking of Republicans and Democrats, but rather pragmatists and idealists. By virtue of his election as a minority person, Mr. Obama had fulfilled the first of his promises to Americans that if elected he would fundamentally transform the U.S. His actual quote from a speech given in Columbia, Missouri on Oct.30in 2008 was: "We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America". And with his inauguration as America's…...

2+ week, 2+ day ago (370+ words) There is evidence of a political realignment, but the realignment favors the far left. Gallup has been taking an interesting poll since 2010 that evaluates Americans" perception of capitalism and socialism.A positive perception of capitalism among Americans has slipped 7% since 2010 from 61% to 54% while a positive perception of socialism has improved slightly from 36% to 39%.If you look deeper into the poll, you can see evidence of a realignment within the Democrat party." C = positive view of capitalism S = positive view of socialism In 2010, Democrats were evenly split, 51-50%, in their perception of both systems.In 2025, 66% of Democrats liked socialism, up 16% from 2010, whereas 42% viewed capitalism positively, down 9%.This isn"t shocking news in view of Zohran Mamdani as mayor of New York City. Democrats created the mechanisms that are destroying their party as we"ve known it.This mechanism is called the Democratic…...

2+ week, 3+ day ago (535+ words) None of it fazed me.I didn't even watch the returns. The next day, I did read about the Democrat "sweep" in, predictably, blue states.That didn't faze me, either. Can't make this up! How Did This Happen? When Mamdani beat Andrew Cuomo, there were more Muslims than Italian-Americans in NYC, Greenfield continues.There was no Irish candidate because the Irish population "long ago dropped below that of Muslims.And the Polish population represented by Curtis Sliwa is even smaller. These populations "were replaced by college students, hipsters and third-world immigrants who not only voted for Democrats, but for the far Left." And "much of New York City no longer even speaks English.That's why Mamdani could campaign in Arabic." No one should be shocked by this election.While Americans were apparently distracted or not paying attention or stupidly thinking…...
