In this episode, I talk about two traumatic events that greatly affected entire countries.   On September 8th, 2022, the United Kingdom lost their Queen, Elizabeth II.  Elizabeth was the longest reigning queen in Britian's history.  She will be sorely missed by Britain and the Western World. She is succeeded by King Charles III.  Charles has been outspoken in recent years on Le...

Recently, in Philadelphia, against a garish crimson and black backdrop reminiscent of every fascist trope, President Biden made a  speech  in which he demonized a large portion of the American electorate. He talks about “enemies of democracy” who he names as “MAGA Republicans”.  Though he claims that he speaks only of a small minority of Republicans, he leaves open to interpret...

In Atlas Shrugged, Ayn Rand wrote possibly her most iconic passage of fiction. In it, a mysterious figure comes out of the shadows after withdrawing from public life some twelve years earlier. During those twelve years of self-imposed exile, he formed his own community of talented, like-minded people he’s enticed to go on “strike” from an ungrateful society consumed with taking their achievements...

Fear is a powerful motivator .  It's a survival mechanism and it's been around probably for as long as animals have been around. It can have positive effects, fear of a bear for instance, it can make you stop in your tracks and slowly put some distance between you and it.  Fear of your family starving can make you hunt that same bear for food.  It also can be used against you. &nbsp...

Right problem, wrong solution?  The WEF put this out, so immediately it's suspect, but let's entertain the thought, nonetheless.  Online abuse is a real problem and occurs constantly.  Someone has proposed a way to help fight it.  So, what's the problem with that?  The problem is that who gets to decide what is "harmful"?  Who would be the subject matter experts menti...

If you had a time machine and went back to the late 20thCentury, then wrote a book giving an accurate depiction of life in America or Europe today, it would be classified as a work of dystopic fiction. The book would be compared with 1984, Atlas Shrugged, or any number of novels depicting a dystopian future. Most of the people that read it would hope that our society and culture would develop alon...

Our dystopia and how we got in it.  If you had a time machine and went back to the late 20th Century, then wrote a book giving an accurate depiction of life in America or Europe today, it would be classified as a work of dystopic fiction.

American Pride Month comes to an end/ A slow news week A New third party?  Reporting by Sharyl Attkisson and Tim Reid for Reuters talks about a new third party called the "Forward" party to compete with the Republicans and Democrats that is due to launch this fall.

Nowadays, the challenges Americans are facing are myriad and are on many fronts. Most of the suffering we are made to endure is by design.  The pain felt by the average American-- the high cost of household items, energy, gas, etc., is a pain not shared by the collectivist elites whose policies caused these problems. Our need to be free, to control our own destinies is in conflict with the el...

It's like that cynical, old joke: “It's all about mind over matter; they don't mind, and you don't matter.” It may be a joke, but it's apropos to the apparent mindset of the global elite as typified by the World Economic Forum (WEF).  The Green agenda, the Great Reset and other agendas being pursued by those self-appointed philosopher kings we refer to as the “global elite” are taking their t...

Independence Day, 2022 may have come and gone , but we can still celebrate #AmericanPrideMonth throughout the month of July.  American Exceptionalism is too great to just dedicate a single day, or a single long weekend to.  In the shadow of the Dobbs v Jackson ruling overturning Roe v Wade, comes another critical SCOTUS ruling-- West Virginia v EPA .  Despite Democrats howling about...

The United States of America became a country in 1776 and the Declaration of Independence was its establishing document. Historians can quibble whether the nation's birthday is on July 2nd, or July 4th, or even August 2nd when most of many of the delegates signed it. The USA was not founded in 1619, and its establishing document was not the Mayflower Compact or the Jamestown Charter. It has one De...

Economic Fascism is Fascism When people think of the word “fascism” they think of groups of jackbooted thugs, running around, kicking down doors and rounding up enemies of the state.  They think of book burning, and a mad dictator whipping up his sycophants into a frenzy to terrorize the public.  That is indeed a major part of it.  State sponsored violence is a component of fascism,...

The new war against armed citizens In the wake of several high-profile mass shootings, and chronic gun-violence in cities like Chicago and Philadelphia, both Biden and Trudeau are calling for a raft of new anti-gun legislation. President Biden wants Congress to pass “common sense” gun legislation.  He says it won't infringe on 2nd Amendment rights.  Huh? A June 3rd Article in Fox News ou...

The saying “All gave some; some gave all,” is attributed to Korean War veteran and Purple Heart recipient, Howard William Osterkamp. It was true for the Korean War, and all the wars Americans fought in before and since. This Memorial Day, we honor those who gave all. They all gave their lives for their country, and we enjoy what freedom we have because of them. Even today, some give all, and all w...

Replacement vs. Displacement Critical Race Theory (CRT) came to the forefront of American politics during the height of the pandemic when parents across the country were shocked to find anti-white racism in their children's curriculum.  CRT and its offshoot social-justice phenomena ironically termed “anti-racism” that seeks to cast all inequities in Western Civilization in a racial light. &nb...
