Prince Harry can breathe freely in Montecito, because President Donald Trump has ruled out deporting the self-exiled British royal. Harry’s immigration status is the subject of litigation in Washington DC, with the Heritage Foundation alleging that he may have concealed past illegal drug use that should have disqualified him from obtaining a US visa. But the president told The New York Post Friday that he isn’t interested in throwing Harry out of the country.

Kamala Harris Quotes That Prove We’re Living in Veep Only a year and a half into the current administration, it’s hard to believe that our nation’s top ‘girl boss,’ Vice President Kamala Harris, has produced such a high volume of wisdom.

Here’s my favorite philosophical soliloquy (because it sounds as though she’s shouting her stream of consciousness into a void) from our babbler-in-chief: "The governor and I, we...

Perhaps the most colorful version of it is: "The road to Hell is paved with the bones of priests and monks, and the skulls of bishops are the lamp posts that light the path." This saying has been attributed to one of several Fathers of the ancient Church and to Protestant revolutionaries from more recent times. Most often, it is claimed to be taken from the writings of St. Athanasius or St. John Chrysostom. After a thorough search,...

“Certainly one of the chief guarantees of freedom under any government, no matter how popular and respected, is the right of the citizens to keep and bear arms.

Hubert H. Humphrey “The possession of arms by the people is the ultimate warrant that government governs only with the consent of the governed.” – Jeffrey R. Snyder, "A Nation of Cowards"...

These are some of our favorite quotes from our armed forces. “Engage your brain before you engage your weapon.” – General James Mattis “If I always appear prepared, it is because before entering an undertaking, I have meditated long and have foreseen what might occur. It is not genius where reveals to me suddenly and secretly what I should do in circumstances unexpected by others; it is thought and preparation.” –...

Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky quoted William Shakespeare and Winston Churchill in an emotional address to both houses of the United Kingdom Parliament which ultimately appealed to British “greatness” to make sure “Ukrainian skies are safe” and to categorise Russia as a “terrorist state”. The Houses of Commons and Lords received an extraordinary address by the Ukrainian President on Tuesday afternoon, a short speech that expressed the Ukrainian experience of the renewed Russian invasion day-by-day for the past fortnight, and which also appealed to the United Kingdom to take further action.

"Capitalism will continue to eliminate mass poverty in more and more places and to an increasingly marked extent if it is merely permitted to do so." – Henry Hazlitt "The superior freedom of the capitalist system, its superior justice, and its superior productivity are not three superiorities, but one. The justice follows from the freedom and the productivity follows from the freedom and the justice." – Henry Hazlitt "Since the State necessarily lives by the compulsory confiscation of private capital, and since its expansion necessarily involves ever-greater incursions on private individuals and private enterprise, we must assert that the state...

Here are a vital words on freedom and liberty, especially with cancel-culture in full swing, a preponderance of Leftist ‘fact checkers,’ social media gatekeepers, biased search engines, and Joe Biden’s puppet masters controlling the White House: Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have the exact measure of the injustice and wrong which will be imposed on them. ~Frederick Douglass A society that puts equality before freedom will get neither. A society that puts freedom before equality will get a high degree of both. ~Milton Friedman If we don't believe in freedom of expression for...

“‘I’d rather be myself,’ he said. ‘Myself and nasty. Not somebody else, however jolly.’” – Aldous Huxley, Brave New World “Nothing can bring you peace but yourself. Nothing can bring you peace but the triumph of principles.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson, Self-Reliance “Insist on yourself; never imitate.

Honor has been the reward for what he gave.” “Collecting more taxes than is absolutely necessary is legalized robbery.” “Whenever the state of the Treasury can permit, I believe in a reduction of taxes. But I am not advocating tax reduction merely for the...
