I’m a capitalist. You are a capitalist. Karl Marx was a capitalist. Josef Stalin was one of the biggest capitalists ever. Bernie Sanders is a capitalist. AOC is a capitalist. All the members of Occupy Wall Street, Antifa and BLM are capitalists, even if they don’t know it or won’t admit it.Capital is anything used in production that is not a free gift of the earth like land or human effort like labor or entrepreneurship. That is a bit of a long economist way of saying capital is tools. So, if you favor using tools, you are a capitalist. Less...

Rep. James Comer (R-KY), Chairman of the House Oversight Committee, sent a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray on Wednesday threatening Wray with being held in contempt of Congress if he doesn’t hand over a subpoenaed document a whistleblower says shows that Vice President Biden took a cash bribe from a foreign national in exchange for policy considerations. In the letter, Comer drops a bombshell and finally puts a dollar figure to the alleged bribe. Comer said it was for $5 million. Wow. He wrote: “…to narrow the breadth of the subpoena, we are providing additional terms based on unclassified...

The Russian military leadership, however, has not yet confirmed the information. According to Russian propagandists, the attack was allegedly repelled and, they said, “preliminary data [suggests] the ship was not damaged.” The Ivan Khurs reconnaissance ship, project 18280, is a unique ship of the Russian Black Sea Fleet and one of only two in the Russian Navy, said Defense Express. It was launched only in 2017 and commissioned in 2018. The ship is equipped with various radio reconnaissance and electronic warfare complexes, as well as communication systems to ensure fleet management.

VIDEOThe Ron DeSantis presidential launch crashed and burned on the launchpad amid the Twitter Spaces glitches. Whatever his listeners were able to hear got lost in the overall theme of GLITCH! GLITCH! GLITCH! Yet another example of the ancient gods punishing a mere mortal for the sin of the immense HUBRIS of daring to oppose the very person who made DeSantis what he is.

Since its founding in 1971 as an organization with the laudable mission of fighting the KKK and other white supremacy groups, the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) has raised hundreds of millions of dollars with which it has leveled countless legal and public relations attacks against various “hate groups.” Money aside, however, the SPLC is today a shell of its former self, beset with internal unrest and displaying a muddled focus. The Center no longer maintains the aura of invincibility that for decades made it essentially immune from serious legal challenges. Much of the Center’s current troubles can be traced...

With another Memorial Day upon us, we may consider the question: Is America still worth fighting for?

The twelve apostles included "Thaddaeus" (Matt. 10:3). Victorious Christian living requires great courage. Thaddaeus was a man of many identities. In the King James translation of Matthew 10:3 he is called "Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus." He is also called "Judas the son of James" (Luke 6:16; Acts 1:13) and "Judas (not Iscariot)" (John 14:22). Judas, which means "Jehovah leads," was probably the name given him at birth, with Thaddaeus and Lebbaeus added later as nicknames to reflect his character. Apparently Thaddaeus was the nickname given to him by his family. It comes from a Hebrew root word that refers...

Biden's holomodor? By Ezequiel Doiny On May 20, 2023 the Gateway Pundit reported "John Kerry is targeting family farms. The Biden regime’s climate czar says farms produce too much greenhouse gases. He wants that to stop in order to combat the climate “crisis.” Farms also happen to produce food. Kerry is not worried about that. The global elites are not worried about that. "Recently, the Netherlands announced they were shutting down family farms to combat global warming. Tough luck if you happen to own one of the farms or work at the farms. This insanity comes at the same time...

Peggy Lee sang it best about the US economy under Biden: Is that all there is? According to the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), US GDP QoQ rose slightly to an anemic 1.3%. Actually, this is a terrible print given the trillions in Federal spending after Covid. Even worse, Core Inflation (PCE core prices) rose to 5%. So, unlike what Treasury Secretary Janet “Transitory” Yellen said, core inflation remains high despite M2 Money growth crashing. Here is the rest of the story. Before conservatives have a meltdown over the comments that will be forthcoming from Biden’s Press Secretary Karine Jean=Pierre,...

On Wednesday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Ingraham Angle,” Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), who has endorsed Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) in his 2024 presidential bid, stated that DeSantis’ 2024 rival, former President Donald Trump, “can’t run on inflation” because he urged Congress to spend trillions of dollars on legislation like the CARES Act and that spending helped cause inflation. Massie also argued that this hurt Republicans in the 2022 midterm elections because “we couldn’t run against inflation, because most of my colleagues were urged by Trump” to spend trillions of dollars, but DeSantis won’t have that problem.

MRC Free Speech America, as part of its new Freedom of Information Act investigations, has learned how the Biden administration is weaponizing a government-funded anti-terrorism grant program in an effort to destroy conservatives, Christians and the Republican Party. Under the Trump administration, the “Targeted Violence & Terrorism Prevention Grant Program” (TVTP) was used to prevent terrorism, but it was revamped under the Biden administration and renamed to provide funding for localities to combat “all forms of terrorism and targeted violence.” Instead of focusing on preventing actual violence and terrorism, the program is now being used to target the entire spectrum...

Is China doing to America with fentanil what the British did to China with opium in the eighteenth century? By Ezequiel Doiny On May 23, 2023 Rep. Murphy wrote in the Washington Examiner "Every day, a family learns the devastating news that a loved one has fallen victim to America’s deadliest drug epidemic: fentanyl. Perhaps it’s a mother awoken in the middle of the night to a dreaded phone call, or a father who comes home and must administer Narcan. " As the only practicing surgeon in Congress, I know that the roots of this epidemic did not appear overnight....

French President Emmanuel Macron warned Wednesday that France faces an "uncivilising process", a government source said, following the violent deaths of a nurse and three policemen and repeated attacks on elected officials. "We must be uncompromising on the fundamentals. There is no legitimate violence, whether verbal or against people," Macron told ministers at a cabinet meeting. "We have to work from top to bottom to counteract this uncivilising process," he added, in comments first reported by daily Le Parisien and confirmed to AFP by a person present in the meeting room. Macron was "calling society to order," a person close...

On May 18, 2023, the Connecticut Senate voted to rectify a defect in their state law. The new law would allow people whose lives and/or pets were threatened by bears to kill the animal. If a bear attempts to enter a building occupied by a person, the person can kill the bear. These commonsense reforms were likely prompted by the experience of Sgt. Lawrence Clarke. Clarke’s situation occurred a year previous to the vote in the Connecticut Senate.On May 12, 2022, Sgt. Clarke killed an aggressive black bear that had damaged his property, killed his livestock, seemed unafraid of people,...
