Barack Obama and John Kerry: Traitors for the Ages

Barack Obama: A Traitor for the Ages (Kerry is addressed in the trailing artical) By John Eidson Given America’s deplorable history of slavery and segregation, all Americans should be proud that their country had the courage to elect its first black president.  With invaluable assistance from a cheerleading media, a young and charismatic Barack Obama was swept into the most powerful job in the world with the enthusiastic endorsement of a sizable majority of the American electorate.  More than three years after leaving office, he remains one of the most influential political figures in America. But is that plaudit warranted? These

What’s wrong with this party?

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: What’s wrong with this party? Letter to the editor, Northwest Florida Daily News, 2/22/2020 Posted at 7:57 AM    Janette Gregg of Fort Walton Beach says one of the two primary political parties in the United States favors infanticide, servitude to the government and encouraging homeless people to bring rats and drugs to our streets. We have two main political parties in this country. The following is one of them. Can you identify it? It advocates: 1. High, onerous taxes on its citizens, while promising free “stuff” to gullible, naive people. 2. Open borders, which encourages human trafficking, drug

TRUMP vs. THE NEW WORD ORDER

TRUMP: EXISTENTIAL THREAT TO NEW WORLD ORDER. . . . By James D Veltmeyer, MD The ongoing attacks by the political establishment on President Donald Trump which began even before he was elected are without parallel in history. The savagery, frenzy, and outright hysteria displayed by the President’s enemies within the Democrat Party, the media, and the various power centers of the globalist elites have no prior precedent. This President has been spied on, lied about, made the subject of phony foreign dossiers, insulted, ridiculed, scorned, mocked and threatened. We have witnessed Hollywood celebrities advocate for blowing up the White

Useful Idiots on the Right: The Never Trumpers

January 13, 2020 By Richard Moss One could perhaps have excused them their earlier indiscretions of November 2016.  He was, after all, an unknown quantity, an outsider of questionable conservative pedigree.  Indeed, Donald Trump had been a fairly typical New York liberal Democrat for much of his life.  And he had led a less than stellar moral life.  And so the pile-on at the time by National Review and others could perhaps have been forgiven, although not really, when one considered the alternative.  As I had written at the time: Do we not grow weary of the sanctimonious ones?  The Never Trumpers

Colleges Dupe Parents and Taxpayers

Colleges have been around for centuries. College students have also been around for centuries. Yet, college administrators assume that today’s students have needs that were unknown to their predecessors. Those needs include diversity and equity personnel, with massive budgets to accommodate.

The University of Michigan currently employs a diversity staff of 93 full-time diversity administrators, officers, directors, vice provosts, deans, consultants, specialists, investigators, managers, executive assistants, administrative assistants, analysts and coordinators.

How Bill Clinton and Neoliberal Trade Policies Led to the Rise of Fascism

(Dave Scherbenco/The Citizens’ Voice via AP) Here are some of the messages the left has been giving America’s young people: Your past is terrible, and your future is terrible. The American past is a story of genocide, slavery, racism, patriarchy and colonialism. You should be ashamed of it. As regards your future, your very existence is in jeopardy.

Socialism’s Unbroken Trail of Failure

December 10, 2019 By John Eidson Evidence that socialism is doomed to fail wherever it is tried occurred long before America became a nation.  In 1607, inhabitants of Jamestown, Virginia were on the verge of starvation, largely because the settlement’s communal living arrangement failed to produce enough food.  Among the steps that saved Jamestown from oblivion was doing away with communal sharing in favor of incentive-based farming that rewarded personal initiative. YouTube screen grab: The Hippies Movement 1960s.

Fraud in Higher Education

This year’s education scandal saw parents shelling out megabucks to gain college admittance for their children. Federal prosecutors have charged more than 50 people with participating in a scheme to get their children into colleges by cheating on entrance exams or bribing athletic coaches. They paid William Singer, a college-prep professional, more than $25 million to bribe coaches and university administrators and to change test scores on college admittance exams such as the SAT and ACT. As disgusting as this grossly dishonest behavior is, it is only the tiny tip of fraud in higher education. According to the Bureau of

Redefining ‘The Rule of Law’How the administrative state can bind the president is the big issue in Impeachment

We’d be wounded and I hope that calamity can be avoided, but we’d survive. The more momentous issue in the current impeachment kerfuffle is how and to what extent the administrative state can bind the president.

Flying Taxis Loudly Reject American Style Liberalism

By John TamnyNovember 18, 2019 It’s always funny to hear economists and pundits obsess on television shows about what the Federal Reserve will do next. Implicit in their excitement is that the economy’s ability to grow is a consequence of Fed expertise with interest rates. Back to reality, the Fed cannot increase the supply of tangible resources that businesses seek when they borrow money, it can’t increase the human capital that is the source of all economic progress, and it also can’t increase time. Thoughts of time’s finite nature came up while reading a recent New York Times piece on “The High-Wire Act to

Who are the racists in America?

Former presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke said that racism in America is “foundational” and that people of color were under “mortal threat” from the “white supremacist in the White House.” Pete Buttigieg chimed in to explain that “systemic racism” will “be with us” no matter who is in the White House. Senator Cory Booker called for “attacking systemic racism” in the “racially biased” criminal justice system. Let’s follow up by examining Booker’s concern about a “racially biased” criminal justice system. To do that, we can turn to a recent article by Heather Mac Donald, who is a senior fellow at the

Universities Breed Anger, Ignorance, and Ingratitude

by Vivtor Davis Hanson – October 22, 2019 6:30 AM In turning out woke and broke graduates, they have a lot to answer for. What do widely diverse crises such as declining demography, increasing indebtedness, Generation Z’s indifference to religion and patriotism, static rates of home ownership, and a national epidemic of ignorance about American history and traditions all have in common? In a word, 21st-century higher education. A pernicious cycle begins even before a student enrolls. A typical college-admission application is loaded with questions to the high-school applicant about gender, equality, and bias rather than about math, language, or

US in Moral Decline

Last week, U.S. Attorney General William Barr told a University of Notre Dame Law School audience that attacks on religious liberty have contributed to a moral decline that’s in part manifested by increases in suicides, mental illness and drug addiction. Barr said that our moral decline is not random but “organized destruction.” Namely that “Secularists and their allies have marshaled all the forces of mass communication, popular culture, the entertainment industry, and academia in an unremitting assault on religion and traditional values.” The attorney general is absolutely correct. Whether we have the stomach to own up to it or not,

Has Sea Level Changed Throughout Earth’s History?

This share of land area is almost the largest in history. (The most was 30 percent.) During one past era, land covered only 13 percent of the planet, and so oceans covered 87 percent. The numerical difference (29 percent land now versus 13 percent land then) doesn’t seem huge, but

Global Warming and Fake Science

November 4, 2018 By Norman Rogers About 10 years ago the brand name global warming was changed to climate change. The reason was simple. The Earth was failing to warm. An additional benefit of the climate change slogan was that everything that goes wrong with the weather can be blamed on climate change, caused by burning fossil fuels. The 2012 hurricane Sandy, that flooded parts of New York and New Jersey, is routinely blamed on climate change. The great New England hurricane of 1938 struck the same area and was vastly worse, killing more than 600 persons. That could not be blamed on climate

Democratic Capitalism: Why Political and Economic Freedom Need Each Other

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Is capitalism destroying democracy? It is an old question that political thinkers have long wrestled with. Yet, it gained recent prominence with the publication of Duke University historian Nancy MacLean’s widely discussed book, Democracy in Chains: The Deep History of the Radical Right’s Stealth Plan for America, which unleashed heated debate over its claim that libertarian economists, funded by capitalist billionaires, have worked to subvert American democracy over the past four decades. Critics of the free market contend that democracy, as they conceive it, should not be constrained. Yet, it turns out that American democracy is already enchained—by

DAVID MIKKELSON PUBLISHED 1 JULY 2013 Claim A 1922 newspaper article reported that “radical change in climatic conditions” was melting Arctic ice and disrupting wildlife. Rating True Origin One of the key issues in the global warming debate is whether modern scientists have sufficient data and tools to determine that current warming trends are indicative of long-term climatic changes rather than relatively short-term weather pattern variability.

Saul Alinsky and the Rise of Amorality in American Politics

by D. L. Adams (January 2010) Saul Alinsky and his “community organizing” methods and philosophy have had a profound influence on the politics of the United States. Recent history would suggest that this influence is just short of catastrophic.Alinsky’s book, “Rules for Radicals,” published in 1971 still has enormous effects on our country today. Hillary Clinton wrote her Wellesley College thesis on Alinsky, interviewing him personally for her research. After her graduation Alinsky offered her a job with his organization, which she refused to pursue other opportunities. President Obama worked for Alinsky organizations and taught seminars in Alinsky tactics and methodology during his “community organizing” period in Chicago.

Why knowing Roman history is key to preserving America’s future

The United States didn’t simply poof into existence, fully formed, from the brains of the Founders. History guided them as they crafted the American system of governance. This included the European traditions they were partially rejecting, but also elements from an older generation of republics that they wished to copy, especially the Roman Republic. And while our problems today feel distinctly modern, Rome still has lessons that can guide our republic. Polybius, a Greek who saw Rome’s republic conquer the world, believed those statesmen and citizens who knew Roman history could shape the future with wisdom and justice. This is

Global Warming or Bad Data?

Garbage in… SEPTEMBER 3, 2019  BY JOHN STEELE GORDON + Al Gore likes to say that the science of climate change is “settled.” But of course, science, almost by definition, is never settled.

Reliable weather records only go back to about 1850 and, in many parts of the world, are far more recent. Modern recording weather stations date only to the early 20th century.
