For the second straight year, about one in five Americans say they would like to leave the U.S. and move permanently to another country if they could. This heightened desire to migrate is driven primarily by younger women. In 2025, 40% of women aged 15 to 44 say they would move abroad permanently if they had the opportunity. The current figure is four times higher than the 10% who shared this desire in 2014, when it was generally in line with other age and gender groups. The percentage of younger women wanting to move to another country first rose decisively...

Our economic realities as Americans are tied directly to energy. But those of us working outside the energy industry must be forgiven for not noticing that in 2022, China began construction on an experimental thorium reactor that requires no water, generates substantially less toxic byproduct, purports and appears be vastly safer than all other reactor designs, and all but eliminates the possibility of meltdown. American citizens should be forgiven for not noticing because in 2022, as you recall, we were suffocating in the various tendrils of psychological operations and captured government. And when China operationalized the reactor and proved the...

We apparently are not on a roll with some kind of conservative momentum. Leftist Democrats of the worst kind made inroads into political power yesterday. — NYC elects a radical Muslim. — Virginia threw out all reason and elected radical leftists to the Governorship and Attorney General, who had made violent threats. — Democrats flipped two red seats in MS breaking the Republican supermajority. — in my neck of the woods, Texas senate district 9 is going to a run-off after a DEM bested two Republicans for a plurality of votes. This was surprising as the polling place I revisited...

With the complete and overwhelming election results for the radical and progressive left, are we now actually seeing the “end times?” Candidates that espoused murdering their opponents, that cheated while in a military academy, a communist with absolutely no experience given control of the largest city in the United States with over 300,000 employees along with initiatives all over the country that allow them to move the entire country to the left. There may not be any coming back from this.

"President-elect" Joe Biden, is constantly nattering on about light and darkness.

Contrary to what many political pundits, including this one, thought would happen as soon as Donald Trump became the presumptive GOP nominee, the former president has maintained a slim but steady polling lead over President Joe Biden. As of today, the RCP Average has Trump with a 1.1% overall advantage, with Quinnipiac being the only May poll showing Biden leading, albeit by a mere 1%. By contrast, Biden enjoyed a 5.6% advantage this time in 2020, an election in which Trump never actually took the average polling lead.Still, are there signs that Trump's lead might be softer than we think?...

A panel of independent experts who annually assess delivery of the climate commitments in the Program for Government have awarded the Government a “C+” grade this year and warned that overall performance on environmental issues is still a long way off where it needs to be. The assessment, which was commissioned by Friends of the Earth, noted progress in some areas such as renewable energy but said these were a cause for hope rather than celebration and that the Government now needs to deliver transformational change. The Coalition leaders need to be upfront with people that a certain amount of...

Probably you think that the justices sitting on the U.S. Supreme Court must be among the most intelligent people in the country. Granted, the mainstream press spends a lot of time denigrating the intelligence of the conservative justices. But surely then, the liberal justices must be really, really smart. Consider Justice Elena Kagan. She was the Dean of the Harvard Law School. Then she became the Solicitor General of the United States. That’s the person in charge of arguing the government’s positions in the Supreme Court. You need to be really smart to do that job. So if you’re looking...

The economy has gone from the ICU to the morgue. It was inevitable. There has been no shelling, no EMP, no invading army, no nuclear attack. Everything is more or less the same, but everything has changed so drastically. You feel like you are living in a parallel universe. Decadence is all around, and it came faster than people could imagine. Businesses, fabrics, commerce, and entertainment – everything is working. Stuff is being produced, sold, and serviced. Just not as before. The streets are dim, dirty – lacking conservation and maintenance. It’s a lot more unsafe to walk around, especially...

~Increasingly, America's two parties agree on almost everything that matters. It was the Uniparty, for example, that agreed to offshore American manufacturing and make China the dominant global power. Everything mass is made in China, everything boutique (Italian shoes, French cheese, English shirts, drinkable beer) is made in Europe, and Americans don't get a piece of either action. Think of the supply-chain disruptions of the last year and a half - the new automobiles sitting unsold at the plant for want of Chinese microchips - and you realize that Beijing no longer even needs to pull off the old EMP...

Sweeping social transformations occur during times of crisis. We are in such a predicament now, and transformative change may be coming to America whether we want it or not. It could define who we are as a nation for the remainder of the 21st Century. Whether America reaffirms itself as a beacon for freedom for the world or whether we become just another plot of ground in the new world order remains to be seen. The consequences for all Americans could be enormous, and especially so for Millennials. What crisis are we in, you ask? Well, consider the staggering debt...

I am high level in the tech industry. I may not be a doctor or scientist but I know how to objectively study and assimilate data of all kinds. I have spent over 1yr studying this virus and many months studying the vaccine (experimental gene therapy actually). I am 100% convinced ADE is the biggest threat to the vaccinated, and this comes from reading 100s of pages of data on it, much of it from journals such as Nature. I avoid the hyperbolic ranting conspiracy based data and I seek pure true data. My findings are chilling and have me...

Please take a few minutes to watch this interview of Gerald Celente. He gets it and is not afraid to tell it like it is. Even if you don't watch the whole thing, at lease listen to his assessment of Washington DC from 5-8 minutes in.

Trump did many peace deals in the middle East but will not be POTUS to see them come about.Biden or should I say his handlers will use these PEACE DEALS to claim peace in the world.So I am wondering if we will even see a 2024 Presidential election? WILL we have 3.5 yrs of PEACE then the RISE of the ANTI CHRIST will happen??

Every good thing comes to an end. Since our founding -- based on ideas and principles rather than race or nationality -- America grew to become the world's most dominant power by the end of World War II. By the 1990s, once we won the Cold War, there was nobody else even close. Now we are completely falling apart. Our situation is so bad that it could be time to start debating whether we have, in fact, peaked as a country and as a world power. I sure hope not. Some aspects of our decline can be measured in numbers....

E.J. Dionne thinks they very well might, and for once I agree with him. So, apparently, do some Republican Senators. (I hope I’m wrong. If I am, it won’t be the first time I have underestimated President Trump and the American public.) Let’s start with the presidential race. Come November, the U.S. will likely be in a depression. Deaths from the coronavirus in the U.S. might well be in the 125,000-150,000 range. A new wave of the virus might be adding to the toll. If President Trump wins reelection under circumstances like these, he will prove himself the unsurpassed political...

I will be addressing the Nation this evening at 9:00 P.M. (Eastern) from the Oval Office. https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1237841878889840642

The country would face an economic hellscape if the government shutdown lasts "months or even years," as the president has suggested it might, experts tell NBC News. The doomsday scenario might be unlikely — the longest the federal government has ever shut down is 21 days, a record that will fall if the current closure lasts until Saturday — but it is chilling. "We'll be in no man's land," Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Analytics, told NBC News. If the worst were to happen, experts say the devastating impact would be widespread: 38 million low-income Americans lose food stamps...

Democrat J.D. Ford pulled off a big upset Tuesday, unseating state Sen. Mike Delph, a Republican who has served the district since 2005. With two-thirds of precincts reporting, Ford held a 57 percent to 43 percent lead over Delph. “I wanted District 29 to be heard and with our win tonight, they will be,” Ford told fellow Democratic supporters Tuesday night. “Now you have a voice in the Indiana General Assembly.” Ford is thought to be Indiana’s first openly gay state lawmaker. “Ladies and gentleman, we just made history and no one can take that from us,” Ford said. It...

Democrat Katie Porter unseated incumbent Rep. Mimi Walters (R-Calif.), marking the first time Democrats have won the inland Orange County district since its creation in 1983. The Associated Press called the race on Thursday, nine days after Election Day. Walters, a former Laguna Niguel mayor and state lawmaker, had aligned herself with the unpopular President Trump this past election cycle. She was one of a handful of vulnerable Republicans who voted for and defended both Trump’s Obamacare repeal bill and his tax cuts law.
