[H/T Red Badger]Since most portions of the post, including the video, contain profanity, I excerpted just the summary at the bottom of the page out of respect for FR's policy regarding profanity. Basically, the theory is the big insurance companies are threatening not to pay for Dem campaigns next year so Dems shutdown the government during which time the insurance companies get paid while those they insure (e.g., military) do not. Below is an AI analysis of the theory.SNIPSummary: The speaker claims the government shutdown isn’t really about political infighting or healthcare policy—it’s about protecting major insurance companies (like UnitedHealthcare,...

The Libertarian Party has announced The Parity Project, a ten-year plan to grow its membership and visibility to rival the Democrats and Republicans. The effort draws inspiration from past membership drives, including the 1990s-era Project Archimedes. In an October 15 letter to members, Libertarian National Committee Chair Steven Nekhaila outlined a plan to “equalize” the party by targeting Americans who already identify with libertarian principles. Citing research from “eleven different studies,” he estimated that 30 to 60 million Americans either identify as libertarian or hold mostly libertarian views. Nekhaila noted that many of these voters currently cast ballots “defensively” for...

Pope Leo XIV continues to make thinly veiled jibes against the Trump administration’s stance against illegal immigration.Speaking in front of thousands of pilgrims at St. Peter’s Square on Sunday, Leo warned that migrants must not be treated with “the coldness of indifference or the stigma of discrimination.”Without singling out any country in particular, Leo said that Catholics should “open our arms and hearts to them, welcoming them as brothers and sisters, and being for them a presence of consolation and hope.”Leo explained that the church was living through a “new missionary age” that tasked its members with providing “hospitality and...

It seems like the Total Fertility Rate collapse is a mega-trend that is not being incorporated into conservative expectations. In addition to the economic problem of a system historically based on perpetual growth, we are going to have to come up with a practical answer to entitlements like Social Security. I don't think our present system can accommodate this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2GeVG0XYTc

If there's any recording worth keeping of Charlie, or sharing with the likes of those who don't know what he stood for, it's this one. It's no accident that God had this speech be one of the final marks he left on earth.

Message from President Trump! Must See!

Reform UK’s newest MP has claimed that whole cities have “essentially become Muslim” as a result of mass migration. Danny Kruger, who defected from the Tories earlier this month, claimed the UK was becoming a “segregated society” with “whole communities living an entirely un-British life”. The former minister and political secretary to Boris Johnson in Downing Street joined Nigel Farage to help develop policy in a new unit preparing Reform for government. On the BBC’s Political Thinking podcast, Mr Kruger said he believed “the rate of immigration is simply too great and too swift”. Asked why he had a particular...

Bishop Schneider: « Mass Immigration: a plan to Islamize Europe » LA NUOVA BUSSOLA QUOTIDIANA23 August 2025 Lorenza Formicola interviews Monsignor Athanasius Schneider. Politicians and international organizations have orchestrated "a sort of resettlement of Muslim-majority citizens in Christian European countries," with the aim of changing their identity. The term "refugee" is being abused. And many in the Church, rather than proclaiming Christ, use the Bible to justify mass immigration. Monsignor Athanasius Schneider, titular bishop of Celerina and auxiliary of the Archdiocese of Maria Santissima in Astana, is one of the most authoritative voices in contemporary Catholicism. A distinguished essayist, he...

Peaceful protests are breaking out up and down the United Kingdom. This simply cannot be contained for very long. The Government must act.

It’s a “housing crisis.” It’s because Republicans are evil and don’t care about the downtrodden. It’s because capitalism is cruel. It's because we don't throw enough money at the problem.We’re talking about the homelessness crisis, and the Democrats who are in charge of many of the cities hardest hit by the devastation will blame almost anything other than their own failed policies. But according to a study from researchers at the University of Chicago and Dartmouth College—not exactly institutions known as conservative bastions—there’s another reason behind the startling rise in the homeless population, and it’s not what Gavin Newsom, JB...

Social Security's retirement fund is set to run short in just seven years — which could end up slashing benefits for millions of Americans by thousands of dollars a year. According to latest projections, retirees could face automatic 24 percent benefit cuts as early as the end of 2032. Social Security relies on its trust fund to provide monthly benefit checks to around 70 million Americans. Once the reserves are exhausted, federal law requires that benefits be cut to match incoming revenues

On Tuesday, a group of Republicans joined Democrats to reintroduce the DIGNITY Act, which would provide mass amnesty to illegal aliens living in the country. “The legislation acknowledges a key truth: most undocumented individuals are not seeking citizenship at all costs, but rather the dignity of living and working legally, contributing to society, paying taxes, being safe from deportation, and traveling to see family during the holidays,” a press release from Florida Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar, a so-called Republican, states. By the bill’s own admission, “most” illegal aliens don’t want to become Americans in any real sense. They want the...
