I've only just begun...and I just have to say this is a "must read" especially this year! Not a quick read, but compelling, and a fabulous detailed history that none should ignore. Prof. Turley is thorough and thoughtful. We are going through troubling times these days, and back before the ratification of our Constitution, there was much turmoil right here while the people worked on forming a system of government. Fabulously done! I have many other things to do, but I can't put it down. So...I guess I'm reading for a while.

On a search to answer the question "Who started the Great War?" the author details his encounter and subsequent journeys with a mysterious stranger - journeys not through towns and countries but through time. This spirit, whom the author names "Mered," - meaning "Rebellion" - acts as a guide and interpreter of many epochs and episodes of human history, explaining how deep are the troubles that bring about conflict, from the interactions of two individuals to the mutual destruction of nations. - Summary by E. Sharp --- Garet Garrett (February 19, 1878 – November 6, 1954), born Edward Peter Garrett,...

VIDEONot only did Project Veritas board member Matt Tyrmand act as the ringleader to backstab James O'Keefe, he also did the same to President Donald Trump. In this video you can see that although Tyrmand was praising Trump in March 2022, he turned around by this February to viciously attack Trump. As a result, that grifter Tyrmand is in the process of being SHUNNED for all eternity by real conservatives. Oh, and don't be surprised to see Tyrmand continue his grift as an MSNBC commentator in the near future.

William Holmes McGuffey (September 23, 1800 – May 4, 1873) was an American professor and college president who is best known for writing the McGuffey Readers, one of the nation's first and most widely used series of textbooks. It is estimated that at least 122 million copies of McGuffey Readers were sold between 1836 and 1960, placing its sales in a category with the Bible and Webster's Dictionary.

Awhile back, I covered U-166. A submarine rather famous for her sinking in the Gulf of Mexico. And, of course, the way her wreck is so deeply buried on the bottom. Today, we'll be looking at another U-Boat lost off the American coast. This time the East Coast, in the form of U-576. A much smaller Type VII boat, though far more intact than her larger cousin. This submarine was sunk in...strange circumstances, to say the least. Leaving a mostly intact wreck on the bottom, in the modern day. One with all the features of her class still recognizable, at...

Video intro: The Epstein Files have revealed something no one saw coming: Jeffrey Epstein was working for the KGB! No, you're not going crazy! The (((mainstream media))) thinks you're dumb. Join me as we take our first dive into the 3 Million pages that were released and why all the people who want to "move on" from Jeffrey Epstein, share certain, defining qualities.

My sister saw Gary Cooper in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington as a teenager, so that she became a political junkie.She watched LBJ's "Gulf of Tonkin" speech live on t.v.; she stated that she could tell he was lying because his knuckles were white clutching the podium. History records that it was a false flag operation designed to ensure LJB's election in the 1963 Presidential Campaign, as documented in "Flawed Giant: Lyndon Johnson and His Times, 1961–1973" by Robert Dallek.This strategy was repeated in Operation Cyanide, the false flag attack upon the U.S.S. Liberty which nearly resulted in the nuking...

When United in Hate: The Left's Romance with Tyranny, Terror, and Hamas first appeared, the Obama era was only beginning, Obama’s ‘New Middle East’ was still far on the horizon, and the ‘Iran Deal’ had yet to be dealt. What made Jamie Glazov's magnum opus so remarkable was how thoroughly it not only recapitulated the ugly history of communism, but anticipated what was only an emerging alliance between two terrible ideologies united by their hateful mutual ambition to destroy civilization as we know it and love it. Even as it connected the dots between the two totalitarian ideologies, United in...

Tin SoldierAn American Vigilante In Afghanistan, Using the Press for Profit and Glory By Mariah Blake In April 2004, a former U.S. Special Forces soldier named Jonathan Keith Idema started shopping a sizzling story to the media. He claimed terrorists in Afghanistan planned to use bomb-laden taxicabs to kill key U.S. and Afghan officials, and that he himself intended to thwart the attack. Shortly thereafter, he headed to Afghanistan, where he spent the next two months conducting a series of raids with his team, which he called Task Force Saber 7. By late June, he claimed to have captured the...

Last week, I finished reading Ottessa Moshfegh’s bestselling 2018 novel My Year of Rest and Relaxation. While I usually do not read books from the “Millennial Sad Girl Navigates Modern Life” genre, I was compelled to see what all the fuss is about. Suffice it to say that I was not impressed. But I could not quite put my finger on the source of my disdain until, several days ago, it hit me: Moshfegh’s unnamed narrator walks away learning absolutely nothing. The fault of this particular novel might be with Moshfegh’s nihilistic outlook on life, but the problem cuts even...

Yesterday, down in Southern NC, I stood next to a magnificent animal. The owner's daughter took him out for a spin. I've never seen anything like it.

Taken from The Secret Destiny of America, Manly P. Hall's work on the occult history and future of the American continent, this article shows that the American ideals of constitutional democracy, universal suffrage and a free people under God are the culmination of thousands of years of tireless work undertaken by great initiates on behalf of humanity.

In American high schools, the age of the book may be fading. Many teenagers are assigned few full books to read from beginning to end — often just one or two per year, according to researchers and thousands of responses to an informal reader survey by The New York Times. Twelfth-grade reading scores are at historic lows, and college professors, even at elite schools, are increasingly reporting difficulties in getting students to engage with lengthy or complex texts. Perhaps that is to be expected in the era of TikTok and A.I. Some education experts believe that in the near future,...

Children as young as five are being taught "abortion is a superpower" in a new book. "Abortion Is Everything" by Amelia Bonow and Rachel Kessler is billed as a non-fiction book, and will begin shipping to purchasers in January 2026. It is being promoted by pro-abortion group Shout Your Abortion (SYA) - which hails the tome as a way to "empower parents and kids". Elsewhere, children between five and eight years old are taught "about what abortion is, how it might feel, and why people have abortions". "Abortion is a tool that allows human beings to shape our destinies, and...

Somali student in Minnesota threatens to ‘pop’ ICE agents in expletive-ridden, viral rant A Somali Minnesota college student has come under fire for threatening to “pop” ICE agents in an expletive-laden viral social media rant. Hasan Mohamed was blasted after he posted the menacing anti-ICE tirade on social media, where he vowed to shoot immigration agents the next time they show up in his Owatonna neighborhood. “ICE, I actually heard you guys pulled up to Owatonna, the big O, and you pulled up when I was not there? Y’all so p–s-ass s–t, boy. You’re gonna get popped next time I...

In a brazen push to normalise the unthinkable, radical abortion activists are now targeting America’s youngest minds with a colorful children’s book that glorifies killing the unborn as some kind of heroic “superpower.” The extreme left are coming for the kids, framing abortion as destiny-shaping magic in a bid to “rewrite cultural scripts” and stomp out any resistance to their anti-life ideology. The book, titled Abortion Is Everything, is being peddled by the pro-abortion group Shout Your Abortion (SYA), set to ship in January 2026. Aimed squarely at children aged five to eight, it uses vibrant, water-color style illustrations to...

Lacey police have arrested a suspect in connection with the double murder and drive-by shooting that claimed the lives of two teenagers last week. Trequanne Trenelle Wilson-Mason, a 20-year-old from Lacey, was arrested in relation to the Nov. 14 deaths of 16-year-old Alexander Borgen and 17-year-old Deven Borgen. According to court records, the fatal shooting may have been a case of mistaken identity. "My son Deven had all A’s in school, he went to church," Christina Borgen, the boys' mother said in court Wednesday. "My son Alex had changed his life, had all A’s, was doing good." "A good kid,...

Daniel Greenfield's article: The Ghosts of Auschwitz in the Middle East Posted: 04 Feb 2015 08:35 AM PST In exile in Argentina, the world’s most wanted man was writing a defense of the indefensible. He rejected “so-called Western culture” whose bible “expressly established that everything sacred came from the Jews.” Instead he looked to the “large circle of friends, many millions of people” whose good opinion of his crimes he wanted. These millions of people were not in Germany. They weren’t even in Argentina. His fellow Nazis had abandoned him after deciding that the murder of millions of Jews was...

Since the late 19th century, school yearbooks have been a ubiquitous and mostly unchanging element of American school life. Decade after decade, they deliver a predictable mix of class, club, and team photos, cheesy graphics, and cringey comments. But the most consistent feature of yearbooks may be what they don’t include—references to political upheaval or resistance movements. As public schools across the United States face heightened censorship and the threat of funding losses for noncompliance, school yearbooks remind us that there is nothing new about political censorship in schools. A few rare examples also reveal that there some students and...
