For hundreds of years, people have looked up at the hazy peaks of California's Santa Lucia Mountains at sunset and seen tall, cloaked figures staring back. Then, within moments, the eerie silhouettes disappear. These twilight apparitions are known as the Dark Watchers — shady, sometimes 10-foot-tall (3 meters) men bedecked in sinister hats and capes. One famous observer who felt the presence of the Watchers was the American author John Steinbeck. In his 1938 short story "Flight," a character sees a black figure leering down at him from a nearby ridgetop, "but he looked quickly away, for it was one...

The United States of America can take pride in a number of things, among them arguably the two greatest cultural and scientific achievements of human history: The moon landing and atomic power. It is the latter that we will focus on in the article, the unleashing of the power of the atom, for good and for ill. America was the first nation to split the atom and applied it immediately to the war effort. It was not for a lack of trying on the part of America’s rivals: Germany famously had their own nuclear program. Less well known is that...

President Trump released a statement on the Washington Post’s retraction of their “find the fraud” hoax. The Washington Post reported on a lengthy phone call Trump had with a chief investigator in Georgia Secretary of State Raffensperger’s office.

The Coming Global ‘Woketopia’:"Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power." - Benito Mussolini On January 17, 1961, in his farewell address to the nation, President Dwight D. Eisenhower put forward a warning of the danger posed by the Military-Industrial Complex. What Eisenhower was speaking of was the informal alliance between the nation's military and the defense industry that supplies it.

SSPX superior general: Bastions of the Church ‘have now been demolished forever’The Pope ‘knows perfectly well where he is going,’ said Fr. Davide Pagliarani.March 15, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) — Is Pope Francis an ideologist who can be tidily categorized as the proponent of a known school of thought? Is he, on the contrary, a pragmatist who lets usefulness, things, and events direct his words and actions? In Fr. Davide Pagliarani’s view, the present Pope is a much too complex “man of government” to fit in that sort of classification. As the Superior General of the Priestly Society of Saint Pius X...

Because they did it two days before the ban on indoor dining was to be lifted... “You will comply.” That’s the message the city of Burbank is sending to Tinhorn Flats Saloon & Grill as well as every resident in their city. Anyone who is willing to cross them, as the oldest bar in the city has been...

We are doomed, I think, if Americans come to believe that ours is an ignoble country, and has been since its founding. I don’t think any nation has ever thrived when it (or its ruling class) lost faith to that degree. Yet, we have started teaching students that America is, and always has been, ignoble. Has any nation ever done this? I don’t think so. Those ruling classes that lost faith in their country did so on their own, not because they were educated that way. Leftists have sought to subvert faith in their country through the way American History...

Dreamers” will have an easier time receiving home loans from the Biden administration. According to James Fulford of VDARE, the “Dreamers” — illegal aliens whose illegal parents allegedly brought them stateside when they were children — will now be eligible for home loan applications thanks to a change in FHA policy that was brought about right before President Joe Biden took office. Juan Carlos Chavez of The Tampa Bay Times noted that the sudden shift in policy “reflects a contrast in approaches toward immigration by the Biden and Trump administrations.” The previous Trump administration did make genuine efforts to restrict...
