President Trump was obviously opposed to the globalist agenda and went some distance towards his stated goal of "draining the swamp." However, after four years the swamp was still there, creatures slithered out of it and devoured his presidency. (to this date, we can always hope for a reversal through the courts) But it got me to wondering, what would a full-on, no holds barred, anti-globalist presidency and administration look like? I would submit the following would be necessary conditions for a president to qualify as "full on anti-globalist." 1. Kick the United Nations out of NYC and America, send...

After nearly two decades of America's presence at Bagram Airfield, U.S. forces apparently turned off the lights and left under the cover of night, all without notifying the Afghan forces left behind. The Afghan commander "discovered the Americans’ departure more than two hours after they left," according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on conversations with members of Afghan security forces. The Pentagon confirmed Friday that the last U.S. forces had left Bagram Airfield north of Kabul, Afghanistan, but days later we're getting a more complete picture of America's departure that marked a major milestone in President Biden's...

First developed to combine the attributes of the 9mm Luger and the .45 ACP, this round is now one of the best handgun hunting cartridges made for semiautomatics. Handgun shooters know that two of the most popular calibers are the 9mm Luger (Parabellum) and the .45 ACP. The latter is slow but makes a big hole, while the faster 9mm tends to lose energy quickly once it hits the target but shoots fast and flat. In a perfect world, a gunmaker would bridge these two rounds to make a fast and hard-hitting bullet. It is this very idea that led...

Charlotte Douglas International Airport on Monday was the scene of a protest by a group of Massachusetts high schoolers who refused to wear masks, causing an American Airlines flight to the Bahamas to be canceled and creating a nightmare for dozens of passengers left stranded, reports say. According to a report by WSOC-TV, the weekend was projected to be one of the busiest travel weeks of the year, with the airport expecting travelers to nearly reach pre-pandemic numbers. Passengers on American Airlines Flight 893 to Nassau, Bahamas were set to depart at 9:30 a.m. Monday when mechanical issues forced them...

Not even during the Civil War did insurrectionists breach our Capitol, the citadel of our democracy. But six months ago today, insurrectionists did. They launched a violent and deadly assault on the people’s house, on the people’s representatives, and on the Capitol police sworn to protect them, as our duly elected Congress carried out the sacred ritual of our republic and certified the Electoral College vote. This was not dissent. It was disorder. It posed an existential crisis and a test of whether our democracy could survive—a sad reminder that there is nothing guaranteed about our democracy. But while it...

A China professor claims in a video that US elites teamed up with China to take control of America. (This information was first provided in December but is more relevant today.) If you step back and think about it, this is exactly what has happened. China dropped a COVID bomb a year before the 2020 Election. The medical elites in the government teamed up with radical governors to shut down commerce in the US. Before this, the US was enjoying its best economy ever but China was the opposite, watching businesses leave their country and their economy failing. China needed...

The Biden administration will reallocate $860 million of funds designated for COVID relief to address pandemic-related costs for illegal immigrant children, according to reports. In a letter to leadership of the House and Senate Appropriations Committees dated Tuesday and reviewed by Bloomberg News, Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra informed the lawmakers that his department needed the funds to ensure the safety of unaccompanied migrant children arriving at the border. They also need to cover costs associated with staffing at shelters for these children, Becerra wrote. Speaking to the outlet, a Biden administration official said HHS’ costs for housing...

The second teenage girl who pleaded guilty to the second-degree murder of a Washington, D.C., Uber Eats driver killed during a carjacking was sentenced Tuesday to juvenile detention. The girl, who is currently 14-years-old, will be released upon turning 21, according to FOX 5. Her sentencing was the maximum requested by the prosecutors. Other charges against the girl, such as armed carjacking, were dropped after she agreed to plead guilty. On March 23, the girl, who was 13 at the time, attempted to carjack Mohammad Anwar, a Pakistani immigrant, with the help of a 15-year-old girl. Police said they attacked...

Republican Nebraska Gov. Pete Ricketts has designated July as the Victims of Communism Remembrance Month, a Wednesday report shows. Ricketts’ announcement coincided with celebratory events in China dedicated to the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) 100th anniversary, Fox News reported. “The Chinese Communist Party is recognizing their 100th anniversary, and they are going to talk about all the things the Chinese Communist Party has done in a very positive light. But it’s also important to remember that whenever communism has been implemented across this world, what he have seen is a lot of human suffering,” the governor told Fox News. The...

Assassinated at HomeHaiti’s President Jovenel Moise was shot and killed last night at around 1 a.m. local time. First Lady Martine Moise was also wounded in the attack on their home in Haiti’s capital, Port-au-Prince. Unidentified gunmen burst into their home, stating they were members of the United States Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), and opened fire.The DEA website gave Haiti a Level 4 DO NOT TRAVEL restriction on June 16 due to dangers, including kidnappings, crime, COVID, and civil unrest.Moise’s presidency has been marred by accusations of corruption and waves of protests, often violent. Moise was expected to step down...

Tuesday was the six-month anniversary of the January 6 riot that Democrats are treating like Pearl Harbor Day. They would prefer that the nation focus on that and forget the fact that the country’s blue cities were on fire for pretty much the entire summer of 2020 and the people they supported had the matches. The rush was on by Democrats to support total anarchy and treat law enforcement as the enemy. Few were quicker to jump on that bandwagon than NYC's Mayor Bill de Blasio. Mayor Bill was more than eager to hang out with Black Lives Matter agitators...

Microsoft is telling Windows customers to immediately install an update, after a serious vulnerability in the operating system was found by researchers. The security flaw, known as PrintNightmare, affects the Windows Print Spooler service, according to CNN. Researchers at cybersecurity company Sangfor accidentally published a how-to guide for exploiting it, the cable TV news network also reports. The researchers tweeted in late May that they had found vulnerabilities in Print Spooler, which allows multiple users to access a printer, CNN also reports.

A Christian alternative to the Boy Scouts, Trail Life USA, is filling in the gap since membership in the Boy Scouts took a huge dive after moving to a more woke focus. Boy Scouts of America lost two million members in the past eight years. Trail Life USA started after the Boy Scouts decision to lift its ban on gay scout leaders. The Christian-based alternative group seeks to “guide generations of courageous young men to honor God, lead with integrity, serve others, and experience outdoor adventure.”

Fourteenth Week in Ordinary Time Matthew 10:1-7 Friends, in today’s Gospel, Jesus commissions the twelve Apostles. Perhaps we can see here a fulfillment of his prophetic invitation to the first disciples: “Come after me and I will make you fishers of men.” “Come after me.” This is a Hebraicism that indicates discipleship. Jesus is not offering a doctrine, a theology, or a set of beliefs. He is offering himself. He’s saying, “Walk in my path; enter into the world that I have opened up.” “And I will make you fishers of men.” This is one of the best lines in...

As Dr. Anthony Fauci and President Joe Biden fear monger over the Delta variant of Wuhan coronavirus, falsely calling it "deadlier" than other strains of the virus, the White House is embracing new lockdowns. During the daily briefing at the White House Tuesday, Press Secretary Jen Psaki was asked if the Biden administration would back new lockdowns should governors choose to implement them. While she argued vaccination rates are likely to prevent the scenario on a national level, she left room for the possibility of new restrictions. "If the number of cases continues to trend upward, are there any circumstances...

We're hearing a lot about the overwhelming number of murders and attempted murders in Chicago and New York. San Francisco has gone in a different direction. It seems to have become the "shoplifting" capital of America. This honor goes along with its long having been the capital of America for car break-ins. It's so bad that I know suburbanites who refuse to drive in the city.The latest "shoplifting" video is an impressive one, showing a whole gang of thieves racing out of San Francisco's Neiman Marcus store on Union Square, clutching what appears to be thousands of dollars in handbags:The...

Here is a popular idea. People like to move from hard blue states like California, Oregon, and Washington to states with fewer taxes and less government control of your daily life (like Nevada, Texas, and Florida). Now think. How did blue states become blue? The voters wanted what the communist, socialist, Marxist, leftist Democrat leaders offer, which consists of getting something for nothing, turning control of your life over to the government, and ignoring the certain consequences. So the voters voted for the policies these leaders advocate. That's how they got into the government. They got elected. People vote for...

“Primaried” has become a popular term for dealing with disappointment by entrenched incumbents in both political parties. It means an attempt to defeat an official in his own primary, an enormous political embarrassment. Primary challenges are a healthy way to shake up the status quo in politics. The grassroots thereby rise up and overcome the enormous advantages of incumbency to replace a RINO with a conservative. Fear of being “primaried” is the real reason for the sudden new interest by Texas Governor Greg Abbott in the southern border, after years of his inaction. Gov. Abbott arranged for photo ops of...

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) identified the more contagious delta variant as the most dominant strain in the United States, comprising the majority of cases in the country for the two weeks ending Saturday, July 3. The prevalence of the delta variant, B.1.617.2, jumped significantly from June to the beginning of July, going from comprising 30.4 percent of the cases in mid-June and jumping to 51.7 percent for the two weeks ending in early July.
