  • The Left’s Love Affair With Mandates

    American Thinker ^ | 19 Mar, 2024 | Pete Colan
    The hype over EV’s is sinking fast, like enthusiasm for COVID jabs. But our government is truly in love with mandates “for the public good” that don’t work. What’s next? One of the ways engineers solve complex problems is by seeking patterns. Design of Experiments or DOE is one of our tools, among many, that we use to reveal patterns among complex variables. Patterns also exist in nature as well as humanity. For example, we all know there is a pattern between plant growth rate versus CO2 concentration, and we are even beginning to understand patterns between human DNA versus...
  • Democrats Cannot Win a Fraud-Free Election

    Joe Biden, or whoever the Democrat nominee may be, cannot win the 2024 election fairly. While all mainstream networks focus on Trump’s alleged negatives, these pale in comparison to those of Biden and his party. The neocon faction of the Republican Party has claimed this election will be a referendum on Trump. However, the real referendum will be on Joe Biden and the Democrat party as a whole. There have been a noteworthy number of “referendum” elections throughout history, where a nominee’s fate was determined by their, or their party’s, poor handling of a significant crisis. In fact, there has...
  • Gen. Mark Milley To Be Knighted (Safe and Effective Satire)

    The awards and honors keep rolling in for the former US CJCS. After receiving an honorary promotion to 6 stars and a consulting job with the CCP, Milley is now to be honored with knighthood. King Charles has selected the order of Benedict Arnold for Milley's knighthood for his outstanding planning and leadership during the Afghanistan retreat. Milley said he was greatly honored to follow in the huge footsteps of Arnold. Milley's former boss, SOD Lloyd Austin, complimented Milley on the honor and hoped he could attain knighthood in the future as the first DEI selectee.

It illustrates how Great Britain’s attempt to make the American colonies pay for its debts, among other issues, brought about the revolt. British Parliament's passage of The Stamp Act, the Sugar Act, the Tea Act, and the Intolerable Acts, and the effects...
  • Candace Owens Endorses Wild, Anti-Semitic Conspiracy Theory About Jews Being ‘Drunk on Christian Blood’

    Mediaite ^ | March 18, 2024 | Isaac Schorr
    Daily Wire personality Candace Owens endorsed a centuries-old conspiracy theory about Jewish rabbis drinking the blood of Christians on X last week. Owens has emerged as an outspoken critic of Israel — and then later the Jewish people — in the aftermath of the October 7 terrorist attack. In November, she mistakenly claimed that Muslims in the Israeli capital of Jerusalem are confined to the Muslim Quarter and then feuded with her Jewish colleague Ben Shapiro over the war between Israel and Hamas. “You cannot serve both God and money,” declared Owens in what was widely viewed as an anti-Semitic...

    Hello from London, where I am, as a recent American transplant, still adjusting to English understatement (it turns out “you might send me that draft soon” was not just a suggestion). I’m very excited to join this team. This week’s controversy over new climate reporting rules in the US shows that the push for cleaner, fairer capitalism is becoming ever more fiercely contested. And while this debate may not always be moral, it is certainly material. I hope to help readers see which way it will tack next. Today, I have a story on two big themes that may be...
  • Airbus widens aircraft delivery lead over Boeing as Max crisis deepens

    Boeing handed over 27 airplanes to its customers last month as it continues to struggle with quality control problems and production delays that have frustrated the CEOs of some of its biggest airline customers. So far this year, Boeing has handed over 54 planes, while Airbus has widened its lead over its main rival, delivering 79 planes in the first two months of 2024. Delayed Boeing planes have been difficult for airline leaders. Southwest Airlines , which flies only Boeing 737s, on Tuesday said that it would trim capacity plans this year because of fewer Boeing Max deliveries and that...

    NewAmerican Prophet ^ | March 18, 2024 | Jeff Crouere
    For decades, Democrats have controlled the nation’s largest cities. The results have been catastrophic, including high crime rates, blight, failing public educational systems, rampant poverty, and an expanding homeless population. These horrific outcomes are due to Democrats supporting failed policies, such as raising taxes, increasing regulations, growing the government, and refusing to prosecute violent criminals. Consequently, citizens voted with their feet and left in droves, a trend which has started to accelerate.

  • Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin reflects on six months since resuming abortions (Barf Alert!)

    Channel3000 News ^ | March 18, 2024 | Brandan Millman
    Six months ago, Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin announced they'd be resuming abortion services in Wisconsin. Since then, CEO Tanya Atkinson says the need for the procedure has been more clear than ever. "When we announced the decision to resume services, the appointments were filled within 24 hours, and our appointments have remained filled since that time," Atkinson said. The decision came after a Dane County Circuit judge ruled that the 1849 law that caused Planned Parenthood to halt abortion services when Roe v. Wade was overturned nearly two years ago did not apply to abortion. "Our commitment was to restore...

  • Dems: Roads, Trees, Dogs, Cameras, and the Outdoors are Racist

    American Thinker ^ | 18 Mar, 2024 | Noel S. Williams
    Per recent polls, former President Trump is garnering more support from traditional Democrat constituencies. One way Dems are desperately trying to cement their cobbled coalition is by fostering race-based jealousy and disillusionment. Their dispiriting message of systemic racism now includes roads, trees, animate dogs, inanimate dogs, cameras, and the great outdoors. Who would’ve known that roads are racist? The Department of Transportation sees everything through the prism of racial equity. It issued the National Roadway Safety Strategy (NRSS), which emphasizes a Safe System approach. The DoT’s strategy “seeks a better understanding of the intersection of equity and roadway safety, and...

    Legal Insurrection ^ | 17 Mar, 2024 | James Nault
    Federal courts in blue states seem to be upholding the majority of gun control laws, even after landmark Supreme Court decisions upholding the fundamental right to keep and bear arms. We recently posted about the New York Second Amendment case challenging New York’s concealed carry permit law that requires that a permit applicant prove to a local official that he or she is of “good moral character.” Not only is this an absurd requirement (how exactly are you supposed to prove that you have “good moral character”), but even after doing so, said local official then has complete discretion on...

    American Thinker ^ | 17 Mar, 2024 | Eric Utter
    Prepare to read a remarkable statement: “everything is broken in this country.” According to a recent poll, 70 percent -- seventy! -- of Canadians agreed with that assertion. Those surveyed say that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s (radically) Liberal government is too focused on climate change and the war in Ukraine, and not dealing with issues important to them, such as the high -- and rising -- cost of living. “Everything is broken in this country.” Much the same is true in America, where the (radically) progressive Biden administration is obsessed with battling climate change, funding the war in Ukraine, and...

    On Friday night at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., the conservative educational foundation ISI awarded Christopher Rufo with their 2024 Conservative Book of the Year Award for his America’s Cultural Revolution: How the Radical Left Conquered Everything. Rufo’s book is certainly deserving of the honor because it gives the reader a cogent history of the main players and mechanisms by which America’s left conquered almost all our institutions. More importantly, in its closing chapters, it outlines the weaknesses of the “Revolution of 1968” and outlines some ways by which those who favor the “Revolution of 1776” can fight...

    As farmer protests against radical “green” policies continue to sweep across Europe, liberal governments risk upsetting a delicate social balance that has led to relative peace and prosperity on the continent for decades. On February 19, hundreds of tractors rolled down the streets in Prague protesting the E.U. climate policies and high energy costs. Two days later, hundreds more tractors blocked roads in Spain. On March 6, farmers in Poland also took to the streets to oppose the E.U.’s climate agenda. Belgium, France, Italy, and Greece have all seen similar demonstrations – which are themselves an outgrowth of Dutch protests...

    he removal of lead special prosecutor Nathan Wade from Donald Trump’s prosecution had the feel of a Southern Gothic. Fulton County, Ga. District Attorney Fani Willis had described Wade as “a Southern gentleman. Me, not so much.” For weeks, the public has been enthralled by accounts of Wade’s illicit affair with Willis. Then there was the roughly three-quarters of a million dollars paid to Wade before he was booted from the case this week. Channeling Tennessee Williams in his play “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof,” Judge Scott McAfee wrote that, after their testimony, there remained “an odor of mendacity.”...

    American Thinker ^ | 17 Mar, 2024 | J.B. Shurk
    Part of President Trump’s appeal comes from his refusal to treat adults as if they were still children. It’s no secret that many Democrat voters have “daddy” issues. They grew up in homes without strong, loving fathers and desperately seek from government what they never found in their youths: a protective authority figure and lifelong role model. When Democrats with “daddy” issues find their way into power, they force their own psychological deficiencies upon the broader populace. Why? Because they try to play “father” to their constituents but have no idea how a good father is supposed to behave. They...
