Former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson (R) announced Sunday that he is running for president in 2024. The former Republican governor, and frequent critic of former President Donald Trump, took aim at the GOP front-runner in his announcement, both indirectly and directly.

Will we answer the call to save our history, and in the process make history ourselves? Or will we continue to be complacent and watch this nation perish from the earth?Although I have not lived through nearly as much history as many of my colleagues, coworkers, and neighbors I am still able to recognize that our very civilization is now standing on the precipice of a history-defining moment, one from which we may never come back.The truly unprecedented indictment, and now possible arrest, of a popular former president—not to mention current presidential candidate and possible future president—goes far beyond any...

Our Constitution and the laws of this nation are nothing more than words on a page. They were written for a people who operated in good faith. There is no more good-faith to be had in progressive America. There are now two classes of Americans. You are either a progressive ideologue operating above the law, or you are a person below the protections of the law and the Constitution,District Attorney Alvin Bragg has led a grand jury to indict Donald Trump on 30 felony counts, seemingly all without any reasonable basis in the law. Bragg has, with his wholly political...

When agents of the deep state hector you about “the rule of law,” laugh in their faces.The Czech novelist Milan Kundera published The Joke, his first novel, in 1967. It traces the fortunes of Ludvik, a young student, after his politically correct girlfriend shows the Communist authorities a postcard he had written to her as a joke: “Optimism is the opium of the people! A healthy atmosphere stinks of stupidity! Long live Trotsky! Ludvik.” As a result of this whimsy, Ludvik finds himself expelled from the Communist Party, the university, and is eventually conscripted to work in the mines. That’s...

The alleged thief wasn’t aware that the vehicle was being tracked, officials said. Authorities found several bullet casings and two cars with their windows shot out. Officials are determining if the suspect will be charged in the fatal shooting. AirTag was designed to help people locate their personal belongings, not to track people or another person’s property, and we condemn in the strongest possible terms any malicious use of our products.

To even consider the arrest of a President on phony charges is something which would not be done in the recent past for actual serious crimes, would not be considered however this crime organization sees no problem with breaking laws...

Musician and activist Ted Nugent tore into former Barack Obama this week, claiming the former president “literally reignited racism in America” and questioned the legitimacy of his family. In a Real America’s Voice appearance with Kyle Rittenhouse, Nugent appeared to trigger himself when he mentioned Obama’s name. Rittenhouse was discussing the indictment of Donald Trump, calling it “political persecution” and claiming he can “relate” when Nugent went into a rant on Obama. “I went through this anti-justice system at the hands of Barack Obama…Barack Obama, you punk, you horrible, anti-American, communist, Islamic terrorist,” Nugent said. “Boy, that’s going to go...

Beyond the Reset is a 24 minute animated video about a distopian future not too far off. It takes the projections of social control set up by the COVID 19 pandemic and projects a bleak future.The video is all animated. There is no sound track. Following the action is fairly easy, and the signs in the video scenes provide information about what is happening. The projected use of robotic drones and vehicles to compel compliance is well done. Watching the video is a sort of short-hand, 21st century version of Orwell's 1984, with an updated outlook. Link to Beyond the...

The inflated grandees of Parliament's Privileges Committee are currently pondering the vast issue of whether Al "Boris" Johnson misled the Commons about some office parties... there is a far more important case in which a senior Minister needs to answer charges of misleading Parliament... This country's attitude towards events in Ukraine is based on a slavish decision to do what the Americans tell us to do, rather than on any serious estimate of our own national interest. I believe this may drag us into prolonged war. Even the poor King must take part, forced to say during his German visit...
