  • The Issue Is Never the Issue: Protests in the US and Israel

    American Thinker ^ | 4 Oct, 2025 | Abraham Katsman
    Had enough of never-ending disruptive political protests? You are not alone. But besides being annoying, there is a subversive purpose to the disruption and disorder, and we would be wise to take notice. A perceptive 1960s far-left (SDS) radical once observed about his protest movement, “The issue is never the issue; the issue is always the revolution.” The asserted issue is pretextual, but the pretext’s protest power is leveraged to serve a greater goal. That Alinsky-esque guideline, however, needs one key refinement: It is true of left-wing protest only. When the right assembles, the issue protested usually is the issue....
  • 'Dems, you babies': Trump unleashes warning to Democrats with 'Reaper' video, song

    President Donald Trump has unleashed a warning to Democrats who opposed a resolution in the U.S. Senate that would have kept the government funded for another few weeks.The video is about the "Reaper" who is coming, presumably for Democrat spending and funding programs.Already, the White House has cut various green ideology funding programs, and blocked other grants to leftist cities and states.It's happening because government funding from Congress expired earlier this week.

    @SenRandPaul This continuing resolution keeps spending at Biden’s reckless levels: no real cuts, no debt reduction. It’s the same old Washington game of borrowing more and ignoring fiscal responsibility. We need to stop the spending spree and get government under control.
  • RON PAUL: Trump is considering "stimulus" checks (again)

    X ^ | Oct 3 | Former Rep .Ron Paul
    @RonPaul President Trump is considering "stimulus" checks (again). We should all remember the last time that President Trump sent out "stimulus" checks. It was the "CARES Act," which ignited the massive inflation that we're still suffering from today. How can a government that has no money, that racks up record deficits, be in a position to give out "rebates" anyway? They're not. Tariffs revenues (that Americans overwhelmingly pay) don't put the government into the black, and capable of giving "rebates." The government is way in the red. That means the "stimulus" checks will have to come from the Fed counterfeiting...
  • SEN. RAND PAUL: The Permanent War Party Seeks to Undermine America First Once Again

    Daily Caller ^ | Sep 3 | Sen. Rand Paul
    The Washington establishment is once again working overtime to undermine the best of President Trump’s restraint-oriented foreign policy instincts. The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which Congress is currently debating, includes three separate provisions that reduce the president’s ability to reposition or withdraw U.S. troops from Syria, Europe, and South Korea. The hypocrisy is blatant. Congress is content to avoid tough votes by abdicating its warmaking powers to the executive branch. It has not formally declared war since the Second World War. Yet when the President displays a willingness to end wars and consolidate America’s overstretched military, Congress seeks to...

    @Holden_Culotta Thomas Massie just exposed the three uniparty billionaires spending millions against him. “One is Miriam Adelson.” “The other two are hedge fund managers from West Palm Beach and New York City.” “And one of them … is in Epstein’s black book.” “They are mad at me because I will not vote for foreign aid. I believe we need to spend our money here in America.” “They have all given to pro-abortion Democrats.” “One of them did a fundraiser for Chuck Schumer.” “One of them donated the max donation to Liz Cheney after she voted to impeach Donald Trump.” “Why...

    Rahm Emanuel gave the world a simple truth about politics when he wrote, “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. And what I mean by that is an opportunity to do things that you think you could not do before.” Obama the Goof was pretty good at it. In Trump’s second presidency, has mastered this. He used emergencies to shut down the border, lay heavy tariffs on trade cheats and to turn DC into a clean capital worthy of hosting world leaders at the White House. Trump now is using the government shutdown to do what people...

    @SenRandPaul I joined @LlamasNBC on @NBCNews and made it clear: I refuse to add $2 trillion more to the debt, no matter which party demands it. Republicans and Democrats both flip-flop for politics. I won't back endless deficits or Biden-era spending levels.

    Hamas heavyweight Muhammad Qassem Sawalha, 62, was discovered living in London in a home bankrolled by UK citizens. Here’s the kicker: he lives in a Jewish neighborhood. Apparently, living amongst Jews isn’t so bad if a huge chunk of your home is paid for with someone else’s cheddar.Sawalha and his wife scored a tasty $136,500 taxpayer-funded kiss when they bought a two-story home in London for $390,000. The house is paid off.Sawalha, who is wanted in Israel for being a member of Hamas, skedaddled to London using a cousin’s passport in the 1990s and snagged his own British passport in...

    @SenRandPaul We were told to mask up between peanuts or be treated like we were taking down the plane. That kind of absurdity fed secret watchlists where spite or bias could brand us threats. We ended Quiet Skies, but we must stop government secrecy, over-classification, and surveillance of Americans.

    Netanyahu referred this week to a 'community' pushing out preferred messaging in US media — and boy are they making a princely sum In a meeting dedicated to harnessing pro-Israel media energy on Friday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu alluded to a cohort of Israel’s influencers. “We have to fight back. How do we fight back? Our influencers. I think you should also talk to them if you have a chance, to that community, they are very important.”

    Three Senate Democrats voted in favor of the Republican Continuing Resolution, bucking their party and hoping to avoid a Schumer Shutdown. Those Senators are Catherine Cortez Masto (NV), John Fetterman (PA), and Angus King (ME). In a post on X, Fetterman explained his vote, writing, "I voted AYE to extend ACA tax credits because I support them -- but I won't vote for the chaos of shuttering our government." He added, "My vote was our country over my party." Earlier, Sen. King had expressed concerns over the CR and played coy as to how he would vote. "You'll find out...

    Brussels Signal ^ | 9/29/25 | Ralph Schoellhammer
    In 1917, while Germany fought Russia in a devastating conflict, revolutionary conditions erupted within the Russian Empire, ultimately toppling the Tsarist regime and reshaping the global order. Today, we may be witnessing what I call a “reverse 1917” scenario: As Russia wages a proxy war against NATO in Ukraine, it is the Western nations themselves that appear increasingly susceptible to revolutionary upheaval, while Russia maintains relative internal stability. This observation is not made lightly, nor from any sense of satisfaction. As always, one points out problems so they can be solved, not because one enjoys the trouble they are causing....

    Kentucky Congressman Thomas Massie is desperately trying to keep his fight for political survival from becoming a billionaire battleground, even ever-so-slightly suggesting Elon Musk's tacit support could backfire. The embattled GOP congressman, who Trump has called 'the worst Republican Congressman', is walking a tightrope as he tries to downplay any suggestion that the world's richest man might come to his rescue against the president's personal revenge campaign. 'It's important that my race is not a proxy race between Donald Trump and Elon Musk,' Massie told the Daily Mail, in a bid to keep the race locally focused. 'Elon Musk has...

    The Brief Students say Northwestern University has blocked enrollment this quarter for some students who have refused antisemitism training. The students argued the training videos were biased in favor of Israel over Palestinians and made claims without citing sources. Northwestern University stated all students are required to complete annual training on discrimination, harassment, and sexual misconduct, warning that failure to do so can result in registration holds, though students only need to attest to following university policies—not agree with the training content. EVANSTON, Ill. - Some Northwestern University students were not allowed to enroll for classes in the fall quarter...

    Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) said on social media this weekend that she is “not suicidal,” raising the prospect of “heinous actions” in response to her support for a measure that would force the release of files related to Jeffrey Epstein. “I am not suicidal and one of the happiest healthiest people you will meet,” Greene said Saturday on social platform X, also noting her faith in God. “With that said, if something happens to me, I ask you all to find out which foreign government or powerful people would take heinous actions to stop the information from coming out.”...

    Score another victory for President Donald Trump in the high-stakes political battle between Republicans and Democrats over congressional redistricting. GOP Gov. Mike Kehoe of Missouri on Sunday signed into law a new congressional map, Missouri First, that is likely to hand Republicans an additional seat in the U.S. House of Representatives ahead of next year’s midterms elections. Missouri, once considered a swing state that has dramatically shifted to the right over the past decade and a half, is the latest battleground in the congressional redistricting showdown after the passage of new maps in GOP-dominated Texas and a redistricting push by...

    Troubling developments have highlighted Europe’s continued slide into political turmoil and totalitarianism. As we discussed last time, the EU has no choice but to sharply agitate for war in order to keep its frail political structures intact, because the war drums drown out the organic cries for change and liberation from the EU’s despotic rule. It is the age old tactic used by tyrants time and again, most recently by Netanyahu in Israel. All the while, new undemocratic measures are “slipped in” while the populace is distracted by the hysteria; case in point being the sudden push for national digital...

    Pavel Durov, the billionaire founder of the Telegram messaging app, accused French intelligence on Sunday of asking him through an intermediary to censor some Moldovan voices ahead of a presidential vote last year in return for help with his court case in France. Moldovans were voting in a parliamentary election on Sunday that could have a major impact on the government's quest to join the European Union, as a pro-Russian opposition group seeks to steer the nation away from closer ties with the bloc. France did not immediately comment on the remarks by Durov, who was arrested in 2024 at...
