LinkThe 2016 Presidential election results (remember them?) were a vindication of four people: First, the incomparable Pat Buchanan, who ran for the presidency three times on an America First platform, championing the ideas that ultimately propelled the Trump campaign. Buchanan was a prophet—a man of foresight, courage, and vision who loved his people and delivered a warning that went unheeded. Trump had the benefit of running in light of the damage and wreckage that Buchanan predicted. Second, Samuel Francis, editor, columnist and essayist who long predicted the rise of “Middle American Radicals”, a phalanx of dispossessed white working-class voters yearning...

When Stockton Mayor Michael Tubbs conceded defeat Tuesday in a bid for a second term in this troubled San Joaquin Valley city, it was a painful moment he had not expected. “As someone who is used to winning, it’s always difficult when things don’t work out in your favor,” Tubbs said Wednesday from Los Angeles, where he was in town for meetings. “I put my heart and soul into my job, so I took it very personally.” Tubbs lost to Republican challenger Kevin Lincoln, a military veteran who served on Marine One, the presidential helicopter, during George W. Bush’s administration,...

London, 19 November: In a GWPF video released today, Dr. Susan Crockford, a Canadian wildlife expert, provides new evidence that the 2019 Netflix documentary film series, ‘Our Planet’, withheld facts behind the controversial walrus story it promoted as evidence of climate change. If there was ever any doubt that polar bears, not climate change, were the cause of walrus falling to their deaths from a rocky cliff in Siberia a few years ago, new evidence presented here seals the deal: a Russian photographer has released independent video of the event that clearly shows polar bears driving walrus over the cliff...

The hallmark of any democracy is to establish the rule of law and protect its independence at all costs. To maintain that independence, government must ensure that its power is not abused or weaponized by its members. There is no greater criteria for a healthy democracy than to allow its citizens to legally challenge its decisions in an independent court proceeding. This is why it is so disturbing to hear U.S. media personalities and academic scholars demand an end to legal challenges filed to ensure election integrity. The Left and their media allies should be celebrating the effort to ensure...

A 4-foot-11 woman who knows a thing or two about MMA taught an alleged cellphone thief that she won’t get kicked around. Brisa, 20, of Mar del Plata, Argentina, gave chase when her phone was swiped after she left work last week, the Daily Mail reported. With the help of a friend, she caught up with the suspect and shouted at bystanders to hold him as she went to town on him — delivering a series of blows that left him bloodied and bruised, according to the report. She then held him in a headlock, pulled his hair and shouted:...

Joe Biden will not be President. 8 years ago Donald Trump made a tweet about the 2012 election. He said; “More reports of voting machines switching Romney votes to Obama. Pay close attention to the machines, don’t let your vote be stolen” Fast forward to today please. Yesterday, he “retweeted” that message on his channel. Why? President Trump is reminding us that he has known all along that in 2020 the Deep State would attempt to rob him of his Presidency. He also is sending a message to the enemy of our nation, the Deep State, that he “Knows What...
