President Trump revealed a tough and unflinching plan on Tuesday to secure the chaotic southern border in a new Agenda47 policy video. “Joe Biden has launched an illegal foreign invasion of our country, allowing a record number of illegal aliens to storm across our borders,” he stated.He noted that under the current rules, the future children of these illegals are eligible to become “automatic U.S. citizens” and to take advantage of countless government benefits and privileges.“It is obviously a magnet helping draw a flood of illegals across our borders – they come by the millions and millions and millions,” he...

In a recent American Thinker article, Are ‘White People Committed to Being Villains’?, Raymond Ibrahim addresses a very important issue: there is a societal movement to place the blame for the ills of society on white people and racism. The theory is that white people are evil because they are white. Ibrahim argues that when white people behaved as oppressors, it was because they had the power to do so, not because they were white. Per Ibrahim: Europeans did not defeat and uproot American Indians, enslave Africans, and colonize the rest because whites lived according to some unprecedented bellicose creed...

16,437 views Apr 14, 2023 SACRAMENTO I've wanted one of these for years and while looking for something else found this one on Big Ship Salvage https://bigshipsalvage.com/ - they were up front and noted that it needed work. It's actually in very good condition. When it arrived I did some basic cleanup and replaced six of the bolts on it. I found a gear whose taper pin had sheared off and the good people at Langills Precision CNC https://langills.com/ got it replaced perfectly. There were also a few issues with the shutter/muffler assembly and some detailed cleanup and replacement of...

Can we talk? No? Okay. But I still need to keep a channel open to you. Volatire is supposed to have said, "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." I take that as the classic liberal position. I think it's another deliberate manipulation, most effectively conveyed by Marxist and U.S. State Dept. official, Herbert Marcuse, in what is called "repressive tolerance", specifically that only some opinions are acceptable, those that advance the manipulators' interest, but more generally, the undoing of Voltaire's sentiment, that anything is justified that is necessary...

U.S. tennis player Sloane Stephens says the racism she’s faced has “only gotten worse” over the years. Speaking Monday at the French Open, Stephens told reporters of being on the receiving end of racist attacks, saying, “It’s obviously been a problem my entire career. It’s never stopped. It’s only gotten worse.” “Obviously when there’s FBI investigations going on with [what] people are saying to you online, it’s very serious,” Stephens, 30, said during a news conference following her first round win against Karolina Pliskova.

Elon Musk is once again ringing the alarm on the US real-estate sector. "Commercial real estate is melting down fast. Home values next," the Tesla and SpaceX chief tweeted on Monday. The tech billionaire made the comment in response to a tweet by the Craft Ventures founder David Sacks, who said that a big chunk of commercial real-estate debt was due to mature soon. Musk has previously warned that cracks could appear in property markets following turmoil in the banking sector. For example, the clean-energy pioneer said commercial real estate was "by far the most serious looming issue," and cautioned...

Is Michelle Obama going to replace Senator Feinstein to jumpstart a presidential run? What are the odds Gavin Newsom will replace Dianne Feinstein with Michelle Obama to start Obama’s real return to the White House? Barack Hussein Obama wants to finish off the country with a fraudulent fourth term with Michelle as the ‘president’, starting her run by being appointed to replace Dianne Feinstein. Consider the visible manifestations of the intrigue taking place behind the scenes of the fascist far left the past few days. One is the sudden re-emergence of Barack Hussein Obama and Michelle (aka ‘Big M’) along...

It's good times for Venezuela's vile communist dictator, Nicolas Maduro.Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva met his Venezuelan counterpart Nicolas Maduro on Monday and called out US sanctions against Venezuela as "extremely exaggerated."Maduro, who is seen as a controversial leader internationally, met Lula on his visit to Brazil. Maduro was greeted by Lula with a hug and back-slap in the presidential palace of Brasilia. Effectively now, Venezuela has been welcomed back into the community of civilized democratic nations, or at least, the community of BRICs and non-aligned nations, no longer a pariah state.Joe Biden sent out some of the...

Consumer confidence fell in May as Americans became more pessimistic about the labor market, on top of elevated anxiety over inflation. The Conference Board reported Tuesday that its consumer confidence index fell to 102.3 in May from 103.7 in April. It’s the fourth time in five months that overall U.S. consumer confidence has declined.

Critics have clearly responded to the movie with a collective “meh,” since that 67% score above is just a few percentage points away from the site’s “rotten” designation that starts at 59%. However, take a look at that near-perfect audience score. Quite a lopsided response here, don’t you think? The audience score is a very stellar 95%, based on more than 2,500 verified audience ratings (and that “verified” designation is important, which is why we’ll come back to it in just a moment).

Biden, Schumer, Yellen, and Brainard, luminaries in the leftist galaxy, spread fear of default. They focus solely on Treasury obligation default. Were they honest, these federal bureaucrats should also discuss default on exorbitant government spending on welfare and entitlement programs. Don't let them misdirect the argument to debt default only. These are two very different methods of default. It is irresponsible of these leftist luminaries not to look at both aspects of federal spending. When the Federal Reserve started printing dollars (called quantitative easing or Q.E.) in 2008, they used that $8 trillion of new money to expand federal spending...

A cursory examination of history reveals that the United States is mired in the same process that precipitated the collapse of the great empires of the past. The foibles and failures of human nature and their impact on the rise and fall of empires is amazingly consistent and the end result always inevitable. Can this nation avoid a similar fate? Empires are defined as great military and economic powers encompassing large occupied or controlled land areas. Although they vary greatly, they average around 250 years in duration. The United States will be celebrating its 250th anniversary in 2026. In 1976,...

Allies of former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie reportedly launched a super PAC to support his likely run for the presidency. The New York Times, citing unnamed sources, reported Monday that Christie's 2024 campaign kickoff is expected in the next two weeks.
