  • Will the movie Bitter Harvest do justice to the evils of Communism?

    Communist persecution and the deliberate famine Stalin engineered in Ukraine: In only a few years, some 6-7 million Ukrainians perished in what they call the Holodomor. Over the years we have been overwhelmed with extraordinary movies and documentaries about the Holocaust and the various atrocities of Nazi Germany. These horrific crimes against humanity deserve to be examined over and over again so they are never repeated. But we see so little about the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) which killed more people than Hitler did, rivaled the repressive state apparatus of Nazi Germany, and easily outlasted the so-called Thousand-Year...
  • How Sierra Vista McDonald’s drove into history

    Sierra Vista Herald ^ | Steve Stockmar
    SIERRA VISTA — Credit — or blame? — the Army for the first drive-through fast food restaurant in the world. Impossible as it may seem to believe today, especially in an Army town like Sierra Vista, home to Fort Huachuca, where camo is as frequently seen among residents as sunshine, there was a time when soldiers had strict orders not to wear their fatigues off the military base. For local businesses in town, like the McDonald’s restaurant on Sierra Vista’s main drag, Fry Boulevard, that spelled trouble. “I don’t know why,” current owner LeAnn Richards wondered of the rule. “We...
  • On American Ethnonationalism

    The Neo-Ciceronian Times ^ | March 3, 2017 | Titus Quinctius Cincinnatus
    When the question of ethnonationalism comes up, many are often tempted to say that the United States cannot have a “genuine” type of it because of the somewhat “artificial” nature of the USA, planted as colonies and then filled with immigrants which were (originally) from NW Europe, then the rest of Europe, prior to 1965. The Germans could have German nationalism, the Italians could have Italian nationalism, and so forth, but Americans can’t have a genuine ethnonationalism of their own. I believe this argument rests on the false premise that race – and only race – determines nationality, which is...

    Canada Free Press ^ | 03/02/17 | Dr. Ileana Johnson Paugh
    We must not allow Hollywood, wealthy athletes, and CEOs to bully us into submission to their leftist political view of the world Joe McCarthy, a WWII hero, belittled and vilified by Hollywood and the MSM alike, has been vindicated not just by the release of the Venona papers but, most recently, by the appalling and constant anti-American rhetoric and behavior of Hollywood. There were communists in Hollywood. Today actors and actresses are no longer shy about their communist views and affiliations, and want to make sure that Americans buy into their communist social engineering and perversions while they enjoy the...

    White-wearing spoiled, pitiable women should spend time discussing commonalities in American history which bring us together, rather than focusing obsessively on gender, racial, transexual, political, class differences, meant to divide country A group of Democrat Congresswomen attempted to make an impression in the House chamber Tuesday night for President Donald Trump’s first a joint session of Congress. Like giggling pre-pubescent girls, they decided to all dress alike… but in white, like Suffragettes of the late 1800’s.

    Tuesday, February 28, 2017 Are We Refugeed Out Yet? Posted by Daniel Greenfield There are more Iraqis living in the United States than there are in some major cities in Iraq. 156,000 Iraqi refugees have entered this country in just the last decade. 30,000 of those have ended up in California. In Obama’s first year in office, the United States resettled three-quarters of Iraqi refugees. 71% of Iraqi refugees are receiving cash assistance. 82% are on Medicaid and 87% are on food stamps. Compare those atrocious numbers to only 17% of Cubans on cash assistance and 16% on Medicaid. It...

February 27, 2017 Daniel Greenfield Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is a New York writer focusing on radical Islam. Before Jamal Al-Harith blew himself up near Mosul, he had been a celebrity and a hero of the left. He had received a million pounds for his “suffering” at Gitmo and been impersonated on stage. He was played by Shaun Parkes at London's New Ambassadors Theatre and by Andrew Stewart-Jones in the New York production at the Bleecker Street Theatre. The play...

    U.S. Supreme Court Justice John Marshall said, “Between a balanced republic and a democracy, the difference is like that of order and chaos.” -From The Life of George Washington, Revised Edition 1832. The chaos gripping our present society is certainly not the ‘balanced’ republic Marshall was referring to. Our system is functioning more like a plane crashing - like a democracy. Let’s explore ‘balanced republic,’ ‘democracy’ and ‘order and chaos’ by using an analogy. The U.S. government is comparable to a commercial aircraft. The pilot and co-pilot are the elected representatives. They are selected by qualified passengers (or U.S. voters)....

    Real Anti-Semites Against Fake Anti-Semitism The left opposes bombing synagogues except when it supports it. February 24, 2017 Daniel Greenfield Keith Ellison is suddenly very concerned about anti-Semitism. The former Nation of Islam member who appeared on stage with Khalid Abdul Muhammad (“that old no-good Jew, that old imposter Jew, that old hooked-nose, bagel-eating, lox-eating… just crawled out of the caves and hills of Europe, so-called damn Jew”) and defended the anti-Semitism of Louis Farrakhan (“Do you know some of these satanic Jews have taken over BET?”) is worried about the hatred of Jews. The leading candidate to head the...

    This may embarrass some Democrats and certainly put the finger on them a while. The GOP takes the original Constitution and has it transcribed as a piece of art, complete with the amendment lists and bill of rights and on the same type of paper the original was written on. Arrange a ceremony in Washington DC at the House, and invite all the Senators and Congressmen from each state to come and sign it as a re-affirmation and commitment to follow the Constitution and the Laws of the United States during a joint session of Congress. The progressives heads will...

    Thursday, February 23, 2017 Savages of Stockholm Posted by Daniel Greenfield Europe has many fine traditions. Its newest tradition is the burning car. Why burn cars? Because, as George Mallory once said of mountains, they're there. There are lots of cars around and if you're a member of a perpetually unemployed tribe that wandered up north and forages on social services, you might as well do something to pass the time. Burning houses is a lot of work and house fires spread. Car fires are simpler. In a welfare state everyone has houses but not everyone has cars. Burning cars...

    "I was told I could prepare a statement for my Senate website or my Facebook page," Nguyen said. California State Sen. Janet Nguyen (R-Garden Grove), was forcibly removed from the Senate Thursday morning for offering a different perspective on the late Sen. Tom Hayden, a Democrat with a well-known and lengthy history of communist sympathies. The perspective Sen. Nguyen offers is first hand. Her family escaped communist Vietnam and came to the United States in search of freedom in 1981 during Ronald Reagan’s presidency.

    Amidst all of the liberal protests still taking place across America saying that this is not their America and Trump is not their president, there needs to be a protest saying ‘I want MY America back!!!’ My America goes back to a time when many politicians were still respected and placed the will of the people ahead of their personal agendas. My America started every day in school with prayer and then standing, placing right hand over the heart and reciting the Pledge of Allegiance, including the line ‘one nation under God’. Teachers were still respected and actually taught us...

    Tuesday, February 21, 2017 The End of Palestine Posted by Daniel Greenfield Palestine is many things. A Roman name and a Cold War lie. Mostly it’s a justification for killing Jews. Palestine was an old Saudi-Soviet scam which invented a fake nationality for the Arab clans who had invaded and colonized Israel. This big lie transformed the leftist and Islamist terrorists run by them into the liberators of an imaginary nation. Suddenly the efforts of the Muslim bloc and the Soviet bloc to destroy the Jewish State became an undertaking of sympathetically murderous underdogs. But the Palestine lie is past...

    During my middle and high school years, I found it strange to say a pledge to the United States flag “and to the republic for which it stands,” while in the same class being taught the United States was a democracy. The teacher would correct my inquisitive nature by stating, “It’s semantics. Democracy and republic are really the same thing. The United States is a democratic republic.” Not satisfied with that justification of semantics and nuance, I continued to explore and discover the difference between U.S. republic and democracy and I’m still exploring it today. From whom did the Framers...

    The iconic Colt 1847 Walker Revolver was the game changer of the old west. Ian from Forgotten Weapons takes a look at an authentic Colt 1847 Walker Revolver, perhaps best known today as Clint Eastwood’s weapon in The Outlaw Josey Wales. Did you know that this massive cap-and-ball revolver was the most powerful revolver until the modern .357 Magnum cartridge was invented? That truth is certainly quite impressive. At the time, the Colt 1847 Walker Revolver would have been unlike anything ever experienced before. The massive .44 caliber revolver was meant for taking out mounted opponents on horseback, or the...

    President Donald Trump pledged Tuesday to combat bigotry and unite what he called a "divided country" after wrapping up his first visit to the National Museum of African American History and Culture. "Today and every day of my presidency I pledge to do everything I can to continue that promise of freedom for African-Americans and for every American," Trump said, calling his tour "a meaningful reminder of why we have to fight bigotry and hatred and intolerance." "We're going to bring this country together. We have a divided country that's been divided for many, many years, but we're going to...
