Right now, it’s hypothetical but it’s pretty clear that they tend to overthrow the military in the event Trump returns as Commander-in-Chief. Mutiny is on the menu should Trump win again. That’s according to an allegedly “secret” plan, that’s being widely trumpeted on NBC News, for the military to refuse to follow orders from Trump. Part of this is pre-election posturing, but part of this is entirely consistent with the post-Obama military, up to and including the execrable Mark “White Rage” Milley. Section 2, Article II of the United States Constitution is extremely clear that the President calls the shots...

Oliver Stone is a Hollywood leftist who has an odd way of being right at times.His Academy Award-winning JFK was dismissed as a conspiracy theory.Turns out he was likely closer to right all along -- as Tucker Carlson noted in one of this segments.That's not the only one.His South of the Border documentary about Latin America's wave of elected leftist dictators was initially criticized as Chavista propaganda, a glossing over of some of the region's worst rulers ... except that if you watch the thing, which I did twice, you realize he did an extraordinary job of revealing these people...

One of my oft-repeated statements is that it’s not the Democrats’ fault that Trump was unable to achieve so many of his goals and then failed to retake the White House. Instead, it was the Republicans’ fault because so many constantly blocked him. That’s why it’s easy to believe what Tucker Carlson told his official biographer, which is that one of those Republicans could have been his own Vice President. It turns out that, during Tucker’s stint at CNN, he often interviewed Mike Pence. Tucker spoke about that experience during no-holds-barred conversations with Chadwick Moore, his official biographer. Jordan Schachtal,...

At the height of the COVID-19 fear porn propaganda campaign in 2021, we were bombarded with “news” of several prominent anti-mask and anti-COVID-19 vaccine conservative media personalities who died after contracting COVID-19. The “experts” assured us that these deaths were absolutely caused by COVID-19. Any other theory or narrative from qualified medical professionals was heresy, and anyone who advanced such a position risked banishment from social media, firing, and possible loss of his or her medical license. Then, last May, a study was published that indicated that many, if not the majority, of COVID-19 patients who were hospitalized, placed on...

NewsNation's 90-minute town hall broadcast live from Chicago Wednesday with Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. was an intellectually stimulating and emotionally moving event. Despite the hour of mostly put-downs that preceded it (hosted by Chris Cuomo with featured guest Bill O'Reilly) and the half-hour of analysis that followed it (Chris Cuomo again with a panel that included former Wisconsin Republican governor Scott Walker, the most fair and objective), Kennedy more than met the challenging questions presented to him by town hall host Elizabeth Vargas and a number of pre-selected Democrat and independent voters in Chicago, New Hampshire, and South Carolina.By the...

Why would anyone want to be associated with a party that claims that killing an ethnic group is "the best money they've ever spent"?If the conservative party wants to win the cultural war against the radical left, and convince Americans that it has always been the party of liberty, then it must adopt the principles of the "old right" and stop voting for war-mongering politicians like Lindsey Graham.###When Crimea voted to rejoin Russia, we were all inundated with articles that told us it was a "sham election" and that this was the start of a European conquest, despite the fact...

Of all the “conspiracy theories” surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, no “conspiracy theory” has been more obviously true since the very beginning than the Wuhan lab leak theory. In March of 2020, Dr. Tony Fauci was interviewed by National Geographic and completely dismissed the “theory” that the virus originated in the Wuhan lab of virology. In fact, he said there was no evidence to support it. Instead Fauci claimed the body of evidence strongly suggested that the virus simply jumped species; ie, it was natural.Was Fauci, the so-called face of science itself, stupid? It wouldn’t have been the first time Fauci...

Since President Trump left office, many of the “trustworthy” media outlets have created a talking point that is now held by a minority, yet noticeable number of Conservative Americans. The belief is “DeSantis is Trump, without the baggage.” If DeSantis chooses to run for president, whether that is in the next election or sometime down the road, his opponents (from both parties) and leftist media will have no shortage of ammunition to create baggage specific to him. 1) As Governor of Florida, DeSantis image as a protector of school children and being “anti-groomer” has gone unchallenged. His press secretary Christina...

Most weekend golfers are familiar with the term “mulligan.” Many have probably even taken one or more. The term was derived from an incident involving David Bernard Mulligan, a Canadian amateur golfer. Arriving late at the course, he hit a terrible shot off the first tee. Casually, he reached into his pocket, took out a new ball, placed it on the tee, and proceeded to take another shot. When asked what he was doing, he replied that since his first shot was so bad, he deserved a free chance at a second shot. This practice rapidly became known as “taking...

Remember Event 201? You might vaguely remember, but shortly before the first suspected case of Covid-19 showed up in China, global bureaucrats and academic elites convened for a “global pandemic” exercise; it was known as Event 201. The event was invite-only, and included representatives from the WEF, Johns Hopkins, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. It was largely funded by the Open Philanthropy Project, which is closely aligned with the Clinton Foundation. According to the official website for this preparatory practice run: Event 201 was a 2.5-hour pandemic tabletop exercise that simulated a series of dramatic, scenario-based facilitated discussions,...

Ask any single woman about the ease of dating in today’s world and they will most certainly roll their eyes and groan. As a single woman myself, I can vouch for how tough the dating climate is for every one of us. But unvaccinated, single women now have it that much harder. The reason? The decision as to whether or not they will date vaccinated men is now on the table. And I can tell you first-hand, which has nothing to do with the viability of the candidates, themselves, as rich and interesting prospects, but rather “sex” to put it...

The Senate Leadership Fund PAC under the guidance of Senator Mitch McConnell has openly denied funding or greatly reduced funding to Senate America First candidates using the self-serving rationale that he only funds ‘candidates of quality.’ McConnell has also arbitrarily chosen to invest $2.4 M in a Republican primary rather than use the funds to beat the Democrat in the general election. Uncharacteristically pessimistic for a Republican leader of the Senate, McConnell encourages voter suppression of his own party as he predicts that the Republicans only have a “50-50 chance” to take back the Senate. The SLF PAC website contains...

Last week, Tucker Carlson showcased the fact that the GOP is doing its best to lose November’s election. He included a clip of Mitch McConnell admitting that the GOP would likely not take the Senate. McConnell and the rest of the leadership don’t want to win. Carlson rightly suggested that, if Republicans really wanted to win, they’d run on crime and immigration. While the economy is reportedly voters’ number one issue, it’s what goes on in their neighborhoods and on their streets that matters. If Americans don’t feel safe in their homes, walking down their streets, or sitting in drive-thru...

If Alex Jones who is perceived as a pro-Trump and an anti-establishment figure is penalized for spreading misinformation but the Democrats establishment loyalists who peddle insane conspiracy theories are honored with Pulitzer prizes something is gravely wrong.

Geert Vanden Bossche predicted omicron. Now he's predicting something far worse. For a pandemic to be brought under control, a sufficient part of the population needs to acquire sterilizing immunity so that transmission among individuals can be minimized and herd immunity of the whole population can be achieved. COVID mass vaccinations have been a medical disaster in the U.S. and many other countries because the vaccines allow high levels of transmission of the virus and block our innate and naturally acquired immunity. As a result of this high level of COVID infection spread, the current lull in virulence (severe outcomes...

On January 6, 2021, in the chamber of the U.S. House of Representatives, Vice President Mike Pence, in his role as presiding officer of a joint session, counted the electoral college votes for President, just as his predecessors had done for every presidential election since the founding of the republic. Sounds routine enough, doesn’t it? Not quite. For that act, Mike Pence became the most hated man in America among Trump supporters. Millions of Americans were left fuming at Pence for squandering the golden opportunity to flip what they were certain was a Democrat-rigged election. Trump supporters with a grain...

If we’ve heard it once, we’ve heard it a million times: 80-year-old Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell is the indispensable man. McConnell’s indispensability, we’re told, stems from his skill shepherding Republican judicial nominees through the process and onto the federal bench. Alternatively, McConnell’s mastery of Senate rules keeps more than a few Democrats off the bench. This is practically lore among Republicans. But McConnell’s prowess is overstated. As the saying goes, graveyards are full of indispensable men. Okay, give McConnell his due. He’s been an effective manager, advancing and opposing judicial nominations. But are we to believe that among McConnell’s...

War is one of the most consequential actions our government can take. The question is whether, looking back at America’s conflicts in the past hundred-plus years, we can discern lessons that should guide us going forward. David T. Pyne, a former U.S. Army combat arms and H.Q. staff officer with an M.A. in National Security has used his Substack account to write a concise essay analyzing which wars America should have avoided entirely and which were justified wars, whether conducted wisely or not. Trump understood much of this intuitively; Biden does not. The post, entitled “How Modern Wars Have Harmed...

If you have been following the global mainstream media or listening to the utterances of the powerful in Washington, you will be convinced that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is the sole hope for mankind. Zelensky recently received standing ovations for his rousing speeches delivered via satellite to the British Parliament in London, the EU parliament in Brussels, and Congress in Washington. European politicians were so overwhelmed that they nominated him for a Nobel prize. The likes of David Frum are claiming “Ukraine may be the first example in human history of a country that under the pressure of war is...

Game-changing news has emerged out of Iceland. As of this week, Iceland is the first country in the world to completely drop ALL Covid measures. There will be no lockdowns or social restrictions. There will be no mandatory Covid testing and if you happen to catch Covid you do not have to isolate. There will be no vaccine passports and no vaccine mandates. Anyone regardless of their vaccination status can travel to the country with no test required. The unvaccinated will not face any form of discrimination or exclusion from society. Iceland is returning to going back to life as...
