When last we heard about Tariq Ramadan, at one time the most famous Muslim “public intellectual” in the Western world, he had fallen from grace. The curtain was pulled back and as one woman after another came forward to charge him with rape, he was revealed to be not only a serial rapist, but one who enjoyed humiliating – and physically hurting – his victims. He has been allowed out of prison, and awaits trial in Paris. He may also have to face trial in Geneva, with a different set of accusers. In the wake of these charges, he was...

"If you buy something like Bitcoin or some cryptocurrency, you don't have anything that is producing anything. You’re just hoping the next guy pays more. And you only feel you'll find the next guy to pay more if he thinks he's going to find someone that's going to pay more." – One of Warren Buffett’s characteristically negative cryptocurrency quotes In 2010, a Florida man paid 10,000 Bitcoins for two pizzas from a local delivery joint. As of mid-September, 2021, those pizzas would cost the equivalent of $4.8 billion. That’s roughly the gross domestic product of Montenegro. Yikes. The establishment still...

On this episode of the Resistance Library Podcast, Sam and Dave discuss Charlton Heston. Charlton Heston is a singular figure in American history and consciousness. During the early period of his acting career, he was known for historical and Biblical epics. After his career waned throughout the 1960s, he was reborn as a science fiction actor, thanks to his starring role in Planet of the Apes. While often viewed as a bit of camp today, this film and the series that spawned it was the biggest popular science fiction movie franchise in the pre-Star Wars era. For our purposes, however,...

“A default could potentially — but not necessarily — delay the payment of Social Security benefits, which reach about 65 million Americans in some form,” the Times said. “It could also delay payments to government contractors, including hospitals that accept patients who use Medicare and Medicaid benefits.” A default would also have effects that trickle down further, including to state-run programs, as well as the expanded child tax credit. The next scheduled payment from that is October 15, which is before the possible default date, although another payment is due November 15.

Dr Fauci gave a virtual lecture entitled d COVID-19: Lessons Learned and Remaining Challenges to Canadians at McGill University in which he made a startling declaration. Fauci boldly told Canadians who oppose vaccine mandates that they have “no right to make their own decision about what goes into their body” during the presentation, which outlined how the world continues to battle with the Covid pandemic. He said: “there comes a time when you do have to give up what you consider your individual right of making your own decision.” .. Fauci began his message to those freedom-minded Canadians who believe...

Ratings have come out for the third quarter and Fox News ratings are crushing the liberal media, again It seems people continue to tune out CNN and MSNBC and choose Fox News to get their information, even if you are not a fan of Fox, that is a good thing. Fox News is not my first choice of places to get my information from but the are obviously far better than CNN and MSNBC.

Attorney General Merrick Garland is using the power of the FBI to go after parents who are speaking out at school board meetings against critical race theory being taught to their kids in public schools. So the FBI hasn’t done anything about the post-Floyd riots explosion in crime which lead to an additional 4,901 homicides last year but parents organizing against anti-white CRT brainwashing need to be aggressively shut down. Yes, parents are a bigger threat to the Democrats than actual murderers. “In recent months, there has been a disturbing spike in harassment, intimidation, and threats of violence against school...

Our historical forgotten American articles are generally impressive figures, but there are very few one might accurately call “cool.” This is an exception in two ways. Václav Havel, the founder of the modern-day Czech Republic (also known as Czechia) is undoubtedly cool by any definition of the word. A political dissident under the Soviet-backed regime, he served hard time in Communist prisons rather than bend the knee to their authority. His moral courage acted as a beacon of hope for the entire resistance movement behind the Iron Curtain. As you've gathered by now, the second exception is that Havel is...

Twice failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton faced crowds of hecklers outside the Queen's University in Belfast on Friday as she attended a ceremony to install her as the first female chancellor of the college. In the 40 second clip, Clinton can be seen dressed in robes as she is followed by a small child carrying the gown.

Constitution Day is a dual observance: It celebrates both the day that the United States Constitution was adopted, as well as honors naturalized citizens of our country. Prior to 2004, the day was known as Citizenship Day. Its name was changed due to an amendment attached to a spending bill by Sen. Robert Byrd. While there was an archaic form of the holiday first celebrated in Iowa schools in 1911, a movement to adopt the day was advanced by the Sons of the American Revolution. This organization appointed a committee to lobby for the day that included figures such as...

The Left is absolutely frightened of Larry Elder and doing everything they can to make sure they don’t lose their precious California. With an atrocious and moronic hit piece suggesting that African Americans who are purportedly “white supremacists” constitute the next “big threat” to America, CNN is working overtime to make Elder a boogeyman. Non-white people like Larry Elder, according to the far-left outlet, represent “the black face of white supremacy.” Via an article on its site, CNN tells readers that “whiteness is elastic”: “The census suggests that white Americans will be a minority by 2045, but as several commentators...

Hillary Clinton declared that Trump supporters are the biggest threat to America on the anniversary of the September 11 attacks. Clinton was a US Senator from New York when the Twin Towers were hit by hijacked airplanes on September 11, 2001. CBS Mornings host Gayle King asked Hillary Clinton if she was concerned about another Islamic terror attack after Biden’s botched withdrawal from Afghanistan. Hillary Clinton responded by claiming that Trump supporters are a far bigger threat to America than Islamic terrorists. “I think you always have to be vigilant, Gayle, and certainly that unfortunately comes with living in the...

The Australian government has warned unvaccinated citizens that they will remain in a state of lockdown forever, while their vaccinated counterparts will get to enjoy some of their freedoms returning. Premier Gladys Berejiklian told unjabbed Aussies in New South Wales, “You have been warned!” New South Wales officials unveiled a plan to slowly exit the region’s brutal lockdown, calling it a “roadmap to freedom,” although people who don’t take the vaccine won’t be included. Once 70 per cent of Australian adults have been vaccinated, people will be allowed to host up to 5 people in their home if all are...

Portland's far-left mayor has admitted that his "hands-off" approach during last summer's civil unrest - that allowed Black Lives Matter and Antifa rioters to run wild in the city - was a mistake. On Wednesday, Mayor Ted Wheeler admitted it was "not the right strategy" to allow armed protesters to clash in the Oregon city on August 22, with no intervention from police.

A Las Vegas mother is enraged after learning that her 9-year-old son had a mask taped to his face in front of his classmates by a leftist school teacher. According to the mother, the assault occurred at Reedom Elementary School in Mountain’s Edge, Nevada. It’s an egregious example of the rising authoritarianism that’s thriving in public schools under the pretense of “keeping people safe” from Covid. “He went to get a sip of water, forgot to put the mask on,” the mother, who wishes to remain anonymous, said. “The teacher did not tell him to put it back on or...

According to the National Archives, historical papers such as the Unites States Constitution contain “potentially harmful language.” Visitors to the National Archives website looking for the U.S. founding documents will now see labels alerting them of “harmful language.” On pages displaying scanned versions of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, as well as the first ten amendments, known as the Bill of Rights, the “Harmful Language Alert” labels can be found. Although it is unclear when the tags were placed, they have enraged some Republicans. According to RT, Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (R-Colorado) noticed the addition on Tuesday and pointed...

To avenge some 3000 Americans killed on 9/11, Washington caused a hundred or two hundred times as many deaths. To respond to an assault on two American cities, the U.S. plunged two nations into years, even decades of war. In the end, there were more jihadists fighting allied regimes and terrorists at work targeting civilians than at the start. What kept America safe was not endless war, which struck one hornet’s nest after another, but targeted counter-terrorism efforts at home and abroad.

Remember when certain politicians found out that just blaming President George W. Bush for 9/11 and believing Michael Moore’s documentary didn’t work so well after the September 11 commission started calling witnesses and showing there was plenty of blame to go around for both Republicans and Democrats? Likewise, the Biden team will discover that truth finds a way, and a cover-up won’t cut it. Biden’s speech was a categorical disaster. His remarks were the equivalent of President Reagan claiming that Iran-Contra never happened. Of course, Reagan didn’t do that. He took responsibility. He fired people. He tried to be as...

Over the past five years, the Pentagon had reduced the American presence to under 10,000 troops. The presence was a deterrent and led to few American casualties. Indeed, over that period, far fewer Americans have died in Afghanistan than residents of Baltimore have died in automobile accidents. Past efforts to nation-building were an expensive and misguided mistake, but not the American military presence which had evolved into a mission set not dissimilar from what the Pentagon maintains in Korea.
