Recent political events that have unfolded over the past year have revealed a disturbing pattern of an identity politics-fueled progressivism, evolving from its once distasteful authoritarian impulses, towards a more sinister version, that increasingly exhibits totalitarian proclivities. From the tactics used to coerce or extort corporate compliance with the policy preferences of progressives to the current struggle to inculcate public school children with the tenets of Critical Race Theory (CRT), in word and deed, progressive ideologues are mirroring the tactics used by the former Soviet Union to crush all political opposition and exact compliance with their divisive ideology. The political...

World War I was much worse than the coronavirus pandemic, according to Sarah “Betty” Spear. Spear should know, having experienced both. She turned 108 on Wednesday, celebrating the milestone with family and friends in south London. “The first world war was the worst thing; [COVID-19] is nothing in comparison,” she remarked in an interview with South West News Service. Spear was born in Ireland in 1913, nearly a year before World War I began. When the war ended, Spear was 5. She moved to London at the age of 18 and became a nurse. According to SWNS, she practiced medicine...

It doesn’t just speak badly of the current administration, but it also reflects how the Biden team views Americans – and the worst thing is they may be right. The conservative media was shaken by a video of an over-the-top, obviously gay, hyperfeminine man-boy person thingie running around the White House and interacting with Jen Psaki, all to promote vaccines. What few realized is that they were seeing a gay comedian doing one of his characters, so it was a comedy sketch, not a real person. However, there’s a profound lack of dignity that the White House would use a...

Obama's party sophisticated, so not super spreader. Bikers Sturgeon gathering not sophisticated. Super spreader.

Suddenly, Sunday, a riveting report came over cable news. The U.S. embassy was urging all Americans to "leave Afghanistan as soon as possible." Message: Get out while you can. Adding urgency was news that three northern provincial capitals, including Kunduz, had fallen to the Taliban, making it five provincial capitals overrun since Friday. The huge investment in blood and treasure by the United States over two decades to remake Afghanistan appears about to be wiped out, whole and entire, and we appear about to sustain our worst diplomatic and political defeat since the fall of Saigon. Not once in this...

Obamacare set the stage for our medical slavery. Ten years ago, when Tea Party Patriot groups were popping up all over America to fight back against Obamacare's socialized medicine and its expansion of the welfare state, it was common to hear the battle framed as one between "makers" and "takers," a rebuke by working-class Americans who knew they would ultimately be paying more in taxes for worse health care so that Americans who paid no taxes at all could have their "fair share." When people called out Obama and his medical mandates (you must have Obamacare, and Obamacare must cover...

Perhaps if there was some way we could break down how it all began, how the magic spell that has been cast has worked and how the pharmakeia is perhaps the evil it proports to be. Now remember, pharmakeia is not just the use of poisons to alter the body with witchcraft and mind control, it convinces the user that it is the only way to avoid death. Remember it began with the lie — it would just be two weeks of lockdown. Just two weeks of staying 3 feet apart, then it was six feet. Then it was don’t...

Aibak, capital of Afghanistan's Samangan province, has fallen to the Taliban Regional governor said Islamists are now in 'full control' of the northern city It marks the sixth regional capital that the Taliban has captured in less than a week, after Kunduz, Sar-e-Pul, Taloqan, Zaranj and Sheberghan also fell Meanwhile it was revealed that pilots are abandoning the Afghan air force after being targeted for assassination, leaving troops without air support ...Eight pilots have been killed in recent weeks, with Hamidullah Azimi - a Black Hawk pilot - the latest to die after being blown up near the capital Kabul...

There stands Sweden, openly mocking the leftists’ most sacred orthodoxy of the moment. Earlier this year, Sweden’s top health official, Johan Carlson, felt obligated to tell the world how wrong everyone else was. “Some believed that it was possible to eliminate disease transmission by shutting down society,” he said. “We did not believe that and we have been proven right.” Is he right? The three-day moving average for COVID deaths in Sweden is frequently zero these days, and hasn’t been in double digits since May. Sweden has seen a lower mortality rate than most of Europe in 2020. That wasn’t...

It was a scandal, a disgusting scandal that swept through Major League Baseball (MLB) over the weekend – some horrible, horrible, probably Republican voting, definitely Trump supporting monster started screaming the N-word at a black player in the 9th inning of the Colorado Rockies vs. Miami Marlins game. What a jerk, right? Only it wasn’t true, it didn’t happen. But what did happen is it gave everyone a look at how leftists view the rest of us and the country. Remember that video a couple of years ago that just had one word repeated over and over, either “yanny” or...

The question that keeps occurring to a confirmed regime opponent like myself in this First Year of the Great Biden Era is this: What is really going on? Is the ruling class executing on a brilliant strategy to transform the political landscape for the next generation? Are they just fumbling along, trying to keep ahead of their wokist crazies? Or are they executing another of Baldrick’s Cunning Plans that will inevitably blow up in their faces? Let’s look at Option One. The closest thing I have ever seen to a brilliant strategy is Bill Clinton’s 1992 “New Democrat” campaign: nobody...

The best friend of New Zealand Olympic cyclist Olivia Podmore says there were no signs she was struggling with her mental health, as he fought back tears at an emotional media conference following her shock death. Olympic rower Eric Murray fronted cameras on behalf of the 24-year-old's devastated family on Tuesday, describing how nothing appeared to be wrong when he spent time with her on the day she ended her own life. Podmore, who competed in the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio, shared a grinning selfie at an airport along with a chilling Instagram message about the pressures of competing,...

Gov. Greg Abbott appealed for out-of-state help Monday to fight the third wave of COVID-19 in Texas. The request came as a county-owned hospital in Houston raised tents to accommodate their COVID-19 overflow. Private hospitals in the county already were requiring their staff to be vaccinated against the coronavirus.... ...Abbott has directed the Texas Department of State Health Services to use staffing agencies to find additional medical staff from beyond the state’s borders as the delta wave began to overwhelm its present staffing resources. He also has sent a letter to the Texas Hospital Association to request that hospitals postpone...

The people of Easter Island appeared to drink directly from the sea, European explorers reported in the late 1700s. And today, you can see animals—most famously horses—do the same thing. What's going on? While surrounded by a vast ocean, fresh water is a scarce commodity on Rapa Nui, as the island is known to its native inhabitants. No rivers or streams cross its surface, and it sports only three small crater lakes that can dry up during periodic droughts. Due to a quirk of geology, rainwater immediately sinks down through the porous bedrock, where it feeds an underground aquifer, explained...

A federal judge in Washington, D.C., on Monday suggested the Biden administration had engaged in “gamesmanship” by renewing a freeze on evictions despite an unfavorable Supreme Court ruling. During a 30-minute hearing, U.S. District Judge Dabney Friedrich questioned why the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) imposed an eviction moratorium last week after officials had publicly expressed doubts about the administration’s legal authority to do so.... ...One central issue in Monday’s hearing was which of two higher court rulings — one from the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals and another from the Supreme Court — should guide Friedrich’s decision,...
