It was in June 1996 that I picked up a book that, for all intents and purposes, changed my life: R.J. Rummel’sDeath by Government (Transaction, 1994). After purchasing the book, I devoured it on a flight from Houston to Indianapolis. Every anti-Communist thought my mother had so rightly drilled into me as a child, every viewing of The Killing Fields (the work of art that inspired my entrance essay for and into the University of Notre Dame), and every Goldwater-esque aspect of my very soul seemed justified by the very existence of Death by Government. All my firms were confirmed.Through...

Denver’s El Chapultepec Nightclub, A Favorite Haunt For Jazz Aficionados, Closes December 7, 2020 DENVER (CBS4) – El Chapultepec at 20th and Market Street in Denver is closing for good, in part because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The unpretentious bar in LoDo was where jazz greats often stopped to play for free, just for the love of music. Jerry Krantz ran “The Pec” as it’s most commonly known, for decades, even long before the revival brought on by the building of Coors Field. He died in 2012 and the bar had been going strong thanks to his daughter Angela Guerrero...

Donald Trump embraced coal during his 2016 campaign. The crowd at a Charleston rally four years ago broke into wild applause when he told them, “I’m thinking about miners all over this country. We’re gonna put the miners back to work. We’re gonna get those mines opened.” It has not worked out that way. In fact, employment and production are levels are behind where they were when he took office. We will get to the reasons for that in a moment. But first, the Trump administration has tried to lend a helping hand to coal. Taylor Kuykendall, energy and mining...

ATLANTA — Judge Timothy Batten in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia has dismissed the lawsuit. A similar suit in Michigan was also dismissed this morning. Powell will appeal to the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta, which dismissed a similar suit brought by attorney Lin Wood this weekend.

Today (December 7th) marks the 79th year anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor naval base. How sad that this date - which would live in infamy - has been nearly forgotten by toady's American population and especially our youth. Tragically it has been the successful revision of our American history by the Left and the evils of it that has made us weak and vulnerable to a present day "Pearl Harbor" of EXPONENTIAL proportions (Rev. 6). It was under the deception of peace and negotiations that Japan struck without warning. To set the stage for 1941, tensions were high...

My family's Covid diagnosis shows how our broken, confusing system exploits privilege The only way we can get through this is if we have a system that works for everyone. And after having Covid-19, I'm convinced that we do not.By the time you finish reading this, at the rate we're at right now, about 10 people in the United States will have died of Covid-19. To date, over 14.7 million have tested positive for the coronavirus. You can now add me, my husband and our three children to that massive number. Despite our country's best efforts to "do the right...

A Korean drama music video about the relationship between the leader of a group of boys, and an independent female who wins a scholarship to their elite school after stopping a student suicide. For a more romantic music video, there's also one from the Chinese drama, Love O2O. The red dress is their formal marriage attire. That video shows the parallel between their online gaming marriage and the real-life marriage they've waited two years for. Love O2O - Say It Once - Glass Pear These dramas have more of the 1950s American morals than anything else I've seen.

Many people associate “You’re Fired” with Donald Trump. They associate it with being in the hands of somebody who, through their power over them, can make the worst thing happen. It’s great to watch others get fired on TV, but if you got fired… it wouldn’t great. That expression also tears away at a lot of people, reminding them they are lacking what it takes and of lost opportunity. In other words, it’s saying… you are a FAILURE. Donald on the other hand is a success. That is the rub in many people’s eyes. Many people have tried to succeed...

WILMINGTON, Del. – David C. Weiss, United States Attorney for the District of Delaware, announced today that Rodney Phipps, 30, of Georgetown, was sentenced today to 37 months in prison by the Honorable Richard G. Andrews, United States District Judge for the District of Delaware.Phipps pled guilty in January 2020 to five counts of making interstate threats and one count of making a false threat involving explosives in relation to a string of “swatting” phone calls he made to police departments and emergency dispatch centers across the country. “Swatting” involves making hoax emergency calls in order to elicit an armed...

ALBANY, N.Y. (WIVB)–Senator Chuck Schumer is calling on Congress to pass a new round of jobless benefits before it’s too late. New federal labor numbers show more than 13-million Americans are receiving unemployment benefits through Cares Act programs, but those funds will expire the day after Christmas. Senator Schumer says rising covid infections are likely to hurt hiring, putting more families in peril. “So many millions have been thrown out of work through no fault of their own. They’ve been living not luxuriously, and on less salary, than they usually get through the pandemic unemployment insurance that we passed.”

The coronavirus vaccine developed by American drugmaker Pfizer and Germany’s BioNTech was being sent to hospitals across the U.K. in super-cold containers on Sunday, two days ahead of the kickoff of Britain’s biggest-ever immunization program, one being closely watched around the world. Around 800,000 doses of the vaccine are expected to be in place for the start of the rollout on Tuesday, a day that British Health Secretary Matt Hancock has reportedly dubbed as “V-Day,” a nod to triumphs in World War II. “Despite the huge complexities, hospitals will kickstart the first phase of the largest scale vaccination campaign in...

The left has ALWAYS used talking points to get their message out and they hammer it out ad nauseum. It's time WE do the same! Why they are called the Mainstream Media is beyond me! There is NOTHING mainstream about them. WE, THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE MAINSTREAM AND THEY DON'T REPRESENT US! From now on, I hope you will join me by referring to them as the MARXIST MEDIA. After all, that is what they are and who they represent! Besides, it is a 'catchy' name and will drive them CRAZY to have the tables turned on these sick Hate...

he liberal elites of Hollywood spent the past four years declaring Donald Trump to be an illegitimate president, and whining that Hillary Clinton was the real winner of the 2016 election. So it’s nice to see Academy Award-winning A-lister Matthew McConaughey step up to weigh in and remind America yet again that he’s not your typical, out-of-touch Hollywood elitist. Ever since the media declared last month’s presidential election for Joe Biden, however, Hollywood lefties Alyssa Milano and Chelsea Handler have done a complete 180. They went from declaring 2016 election results a sham to belittling or shaming any Trump supporter...

Dr. Anthony Fauci made a virtual appearance at New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s (D) Monday briefing, where the men discouraged small gatherings during the holiday season, prompting Fauci to warn that the U.S. could be in for a “dark time” in January.

The Civil War (1861-1865) was nothing less than a revolutionary reorganization of American government, society, and economics. It claimed almost as many lives as every other U.S. conflict combined and, by war's bloody logic, forged the nation which the Founding Fathers could not by settling once and for all lingering national questions about state sovereignty and slavery. The postwar period, however, was one of arguably greater turmoil than the war itself. This is because many men in the South did not, in fact, lay down their arms at the end of the War. What’s more, freedmen, former slaves that were...
