Discussing everything from culture and immigration to race and violence, foreign policy and the media, as well as the economy and privacy concerns, conservative radio legend Michael Savage on Friday warned of a civil war which awaits the U.S. if the left continues to launch assaults on all that Americans hold dear. On his latest weekly podcast, Savage discussed a broad range of issues he sees as breeding grounds for an impending civil war. “What we are seeing is a civil war,” Savage said, before questioning if it can be stopped. Savage then described the “assault” as emanating from all...

The Judge’s primary pistol cartridge is the .45 Colt, a cartridge that has enjoyed popularity since its introduction in the early 1870s. The cartridge served as the standard U.S. military handgun cartridge for nearly 15 and was originally a black powered cartridge, though modern loadings use smokeless powder propellant. Likewise, the .410 shotshell came to life in the 1870s, and despite its old age is still regarded as a lighter, more manageable shotshell, particularly for new or smaller shooters. The shell’s relatively small diameter lends itself well to rifles designed for pest control or as military survival rifles — or...

SEIZURE OF FEDERAL PROPERTY IN VIRGINIA. Dispatches to the Associated Press, posted on the bulletin-boards at the hotels, announcing the seizure of public property at Norfolk, excite deep interest here. That immediate steps will be taken to recover and hold this property there need be no doubt. The supposition here is that the conspirators intend, if possible, to cut off the approach of Federal forces to Washington via the Potomac River, then attempt to obstruct their journey hither by rail, and thus plunge Maryland into the revolution and surround this Capital by the conflict of opposing forces. The loyal States...

After a comparatively quiet first five weeks in Palm Beach, Fla., following a final five in Washington plagued by all sorts of chaos, Trump stirred up excitement in late February at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), where he addressed an enthusiastic crowd for 90 minutes about moving forward with the America First agenda. That plan is now moving into its operational stages, with the launch of a network of political funding vehicles and public messaging platforms. Top Trump communications adviser Jason Miller recently told "Just the News AM" that the former president is seeking out candidates who are...

For over fifty years, it has been a recurring promise of conservative candidates running for election that they will stand up for our constitutional rights and support the appointment of judges and Supreme Court justices who will uphold the Constitution. Yet time after time, the left seems to win both ideological and legal battles on monumental issues such as abortion, marriage, gun control, immigration, racial preferences for minorities, and the ever-expanding size and scope of government — no matter what the text of the Constitution actually says.

Consider two contrasting quotes on how reason and passion relate to truth in a society. The first is (or once was, anyway) quite famous amongst Americans, spoken by Founder John Adams during his defense of the British soldiers accused of murder in the Boston Massacre of 1770: Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be the dictates of our passion, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.The second is from a figure of whom few alive could claim ignorance. As Jonah Goldberg relates in his book, Liberal Fascism: [Adolf] Hitler mocked those who believed that arguments and reason...

A bit of strategic thinking is being brought into play. Rioting is a frequent phenomenon, complete with a professional traveling cadre that moves into a city when a spark ignites anger – as most recently happened in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota. Take a look at the people arrested in Brooklyn Center: SNIP With so many people and resources being expended, a bit of strategic thinking is being brought into play. Poor Blacks burning their own neighborhoods hurts the (nonprofessional) rioters and their families and is a burden that does not affect most people. It also doesn’t win a lot of friends...

Mark Osler watched with astonishment as a medical expert for the defense testified in Derek Chauvin's murder trial. Osler, a law professor at the University of St. Thomas School of Law in Minnesota, said he wondered why, in a racially charged case, the defense would rely so heavily on a "white expert," who was raised in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) and trained in South Africa during apartheid. "He spent much of his life in places where white supremacy was literally a form of government," Osler said. "People with that background are not necessarily racists, but the symbolic link to historical racism...

Last week, the J&J vaccine was paused “out of an abundance of caution” even though the dangerous blood clots appeared to be “extremely rare,” six reported cases out of 7 million doses, less than one in a million odds. All six cases were in women ages 18 to 48; one woman died, and one was hospitalized in critical condition. Is one in a million enough to cause a pause? Motor vehicle traffic deaths in the US occur at a rate of 10.7 per 100,000, one of the highest probability causes of death, and there is no move to take a...

With the composite president known as “Joe Biden” pushing ahead with implementing the Green New Deal, the climate-alarmist industrial complex will be ramping up its propaganda to scare as many people as possible into believing that Planet Earth is about to burn up. Unless, that is, we -- the people -- allow our freedoms and prosperity to be whittled away until freedom and prosperity are for most people half-forgotten memories. So now is a good time to explore the biggest fallacy of all underlying climate-alarmist junk science. This is the “base-line fallacy,” which is a cousin of the statistical “base-rate...

Jane Austen's love of tea is to be investigated as part of a 'historical interrogation' into her links to the slave trade. The celebrated author wrote Pride and Prejudice and Mansfield Park while living in a cottage in the Hampshire village of Chawton, which has now been turned into a museum. Staff at the home devoted to the 18th century author are now re-evaluating her place in 'Regency era colonialism'.

Authorities in Panama have intercepted an unlikely smuggler - a fluffy white cat, bearing an assortment of drugs in a pouch tied to its body as it tried to enter a prison. The feline felon was stopped outside the Nueva Esperanza jail, which houses more than 1,700 prisoners, in the Caribbean province of Colon, north of the capital Panama City on Friday. 'The animal had a cloth tied around its neck' that contained wrapped packages of white powder, leaves and 'vegetable matter', according to Andres Gutierrez, head of the Panama Penitentiary System.

Georgia’s voting reform success has the liberal coalition on high alert. Why? Because the left fears common sense voting reforms will stand in the way of their dream—a federal takeover of state and local elections. By now we are used to the unholy alliance between liberal activists, the media, and Democratic lawmakers. But the Democrats have recruited a new member to join in their assault on GOP voting bills: corporate CEOs. What motivated big businesses to join the fray this time? It’s simple. They see it as an opportunity for woke virtue signaling. It’s easy to speak out against so-called...

A New York mayoral candidate and ex-MSNBC contributor who wants to end 'racist' testing to determine who gets into the city's elite schools had her own daughter use the program - while her other daughter attends a $51,000-a-year private school. Maya Wiley called for the abolition of the city's Gifted and Talented program to identify high-achieving students and the removal of all forms of pre-admission testing, claiming they entrenched 'white privilege'. Despite this, she sent her eldest daughter to Mark Twain Intermediate School for the Gifted and Talented, using the exact program she wants to abolish.

And many have been ignoring mask mandates at private businesses for a while now. “Civil disobedience” can be applied at churches and private businesses too.

Demonstrators in Minnesota dropped to their knees and made plans to mobilize at the site of a fatal officer-involved shooting - before learning the victim they were memorializing was a carjacking suspect who allegedly shot at police. The Black Lives Matters protesters, who were demonstrating Sunday outside the governor's mansion, could be seen in video shot by a local reporter observing a moment of silence when they heard of a police-involved shooting in Burnsville, Minnesota. 'This information HAS NOT been confirmed but this group says they're heading there', tweeted Fox 9 reporter Mitti Hicks.
