Some Monitory Words From Stephen Kruiser
He’s very targeted this morning, and commendably so: Election fraud is one of those quintessential hot button 21st century issues where no nuance or real discussion is allowed. You either believe that all Republican hopes of victory going forward are doomed or, according to the doomsayers, you’re in denial. I would love to …

Too Much Clarity
In his treatise The Anti-Capitalistic Mentality, the great Ludwig von Mises makes reference to “the cousins:” i.e., the relatives and assorted hangers-on of the families of the great industrialists: Even in these lucky families, the qualities required for the successful conduct of big business are not inherited by all sons and grandsons. As …

Stating It Clearly
It’s impossible to misconstrue what this man, death-and-aging-phobe multimillionaire Brian Johnson, is saying: The estimable Paul Joseph Watson makes it even plainer: “An absolute blank slate.” A posthuman nihilistic atomizing recipe for utter misery, that’s what that is. Rootless soulless vapid anti-natalist oblivion at its heart. This is pure Red Terror Maoism. …

It’s Been Tried Before
Several times, really…and it hasn’t worked, ever: Days after closing a deal with Albania to hold part of the migrant flood there while awaiting asylum processing, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is trying to limit the number of arrivals in the first place, by a new partnership with Africa. She unveiled a …

Stating It Clearly Edition
The Biden Regime is now openly blackmailing the nation: As Republican governors circle the wagon around Texas, President Biden on Saturday doubled down on a reluctant agreement to secure the southern US border – but only if Congress passes a bipartisan bill that would also allocate funds for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan, and …

Politicians And Importance: A Coda
Politicians are important only because others – people who actually do things – sometimes do their bidding. But what if we were to stop? Bidworthy approached to within normal talking distance and asked, “Can you understand me?” “Can any person understand another?” inquired the farmer with clear diction. Bidworthy found himself …

Illegal Immigration And Legislation
Everyone wants to believe that he’s important – that what he does matters to others. If there are exceptions, I have yet to encounter them. It follows that a man will prefer an occupation that appears to provide things of genuine value to others over a trade that, whatever it pays, does little or …

Alea Iacta Est
Apparently, the Border Patrol doesn’t plan to cut through the razor wire. Twenty-five states are backing Texas’s toughening of its border. And a conspiracy to keep Donald Trump out of office has formed and is operating. Are there any classics scholars among our Gentle Readers? *** Once you demonstrate yourself …

Even Judges Do PolSpeak
The following is a transcript of this interview by Senator John Kennedy (R, LA) of Judge Robin Meriwether, a judicial nominee to the Court of Federal Claims: Senator John Kennedy: Judge Meriwether you’ve been nominated to the Court of Federal Claims is that right? Robin Meriwether: Yes Senator SJK: How many motions have you …

Truth At 200 Proof
I heard some time ago that Javier Milei is staunchly pro-freedom – according to some reports, he’s openly styled himself an anarcho-capitalist – but I hadn’t expected that an individual who sincerely espouses libertarian views could become the head of state in a significant nation. Well, there he is, the freshly elected President of …

Something We’d Rather Forget
Authoritarian impulses are not confined to any political party. Indeed, politics is a magnet for people who want power over others. But what conduces to the increase of power? What could persuade ordinary, supposedly freedom-loving Americans to accept a fascist in the White House? Tucker Carlson will tell you: That is absolutely …

What Is The Border Patrol’s Job?
The law in these United States, as in most First World countries – I don’t think there are any exceptions – is that entry to the U.S. must occur at one of our designated ports of entry. There are several such along the American border, and their locales are widely known. Any American consulate …

Genocide Canadian Style
We will all die. It’s the price of life. And eventually, the fact of it will be acted out by every living thing. But some folks want to hurry the process: With lethal-injection euthanasia now legal in Canada for patients age 18 and over whose deaths are “foreseeable” (a vague limitation sure …

The Case That May Upend The Regulatory Applecart
About forty years ago, the Natural Resources Defense Council, one of the most odious organizations in the enviro-Nazi coalition, received a huge gift from the Supreme Court. However, the case that granted that gift awarded an even bigger gift to the regulatory bureaucracies. That gift has since become known as Chevron deference: the requirement …

The Best Piece Of Political Combat Advice Ever Dispensed To Anyone
God bless and protect Tucker Carlson: Yes, it’s a video. Yes, it’s over twenty minutes long. Watch it. Absorb and internalize its mighty wisdom. Then act on it. Freedom requires free men. Free men precede political freedom and always will. There will never be a free society that’s erected by slaves…and slavery, …

A Concession On Every Point Is Not A “Deal”
But it appears that that’s what the Republican Senatorial caucus is being asked to swallow: A number of Senate Republicans are extremely concerned with the ongoing border deal negotiations between the White House and GOP leadership, expressing their frustration with a number of leaked proposals that are being considered and saying they would …

Is This Credible, Or Is It Meant To Scare Us?
According to Radar Online: President Joe Biden is stubbornly ignoring polls, pals, and former President Barack Obama, who are all allegedly telling the 81-year-old he needs to quit the 2024 race to save America and the Democratic Party, RadarOnline.com has learned. Insiders snitched that tensions between the two presidents recently exploded after …

Another Non-Surprise
That perennial loser “Beto” O’Rourke wants the invasion of Texas to continue unbounded: Abbott is using the Texas Guard to defy a Supreme Court ruling. When Gov. Faubus did this in 1957, Eisenhower federalized the Arkansas Guard to ensure compliance with the law. Biden must follow this example of bold, decisive leadership to end …

“You Are TOO FREE!” Say The Elite
Somehow, that doesn’t surprise me: The nation’s ruling class holds deeply authoritarian opinions widely divorced from the rest of the American electorate, finds a survey out this week. It found nearly 60 percent of American “elites” think there is too much individual freedom in America. Meanwhile, nearly 60 percent of registered voters have …

The DEI-Hustlers Won’t Relent
They’re a bit like the Chinese that way: they just keep coming: The Wizard Of Oz and It’s A Wonderful Life are going to get a ‘diverse’ reboot, a Hollywood director has revealed. Kenya Barris, who created the ABC sitcom Black-ish, is working on scripts for the Warner Bros adaptations of the …
