... for the last 500 years, if you were a nation that wanted to get rich, the way you did it was you built a bunch of ships, you loaded them full of soldiers and guns and horses, and you sailed from Europe, to the New World, and you took their stuff. You took their gold, you enslaved their people, you forced people to work in the gold mines and that sort of thing. That’s how Europe got rich. That’s how the UK got rich. And so that’s the historical pattern for 500 years. 500 years of colonialism. And then...

Jack Schlossberg, the grandson of John F. Kennedy who is running for Congress in New York, earlier this year posted an offensive comment on social media about procuring “Jew blood” and male semen for an energy recipe. Schlossberg, the 32-year-old Kennedy scion, has deleted the Jan. 20 post, in which he appeared to mock his mother’s cousin, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and the so-called Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement. “I’ll have a MAHA energy ball,” wrote Schlossberg. He proposed a recipe that called for several ingredients, including “2 oz of Jew blood (ashkenazi not Sephardic).” “Baked at 300degrees until...

I don’t know what you did on Friday night, but I spent about 90 minutes in the vice president’s study with him and the men you see above, talking geopolitics, Hungary, and the survival of Christianity in Europe, among other things. Of course I can’t be indiscreet about the discussion, but it was rich and vigorous. I’m really glad that JD got to experience the actual, living Viktor Orban in person, and to see for himself how wrong the propaganda is. They got on very, very well. I was able to have a few minutes with the vice president before...

For a brief moment in time, the Democrats were humiliated in defeat. November of 2024 was the body blow necessary to end the war on Trump. They lost. Trump won, and that was that. They never absorbed that loss, however, except in the way that it made them meaner, angrier, and more willing to blow through norms and abandon what remained of their humanity to chase victory by any means necessary. That would include spending hundreds of millions on Prop 50. It would include celebrating the murder of Charlie Kirk and fantasizing about Trump’s imminent death.

And deserves to get it good and hard.Last night was the (well, not mid-term elections — those are next year — “quarter-term” elections?) and the areas that thought that Kamala Harris was a damned fine pick for POTUS last cycle stayed Blue. That should not have been a big surprise to anyone with a licence to adult..In Newt Yack City, a CAIR1-funded communist Democratic Socialist is now mayor.Whee. As long-time readers of my little scribblings have probably already figured out, I doubt that Mamdani will be as bad as his detractors say; but I damned sure don’t think he’s going...

When Holocaust scholars accuse Jews of becoming Nazis, moral clarity collapses into performance guilt.Every few months, another academic or journalist decides that the best way to honor Holocaust memory is to accuse Israel of repeating it. The latest comes from The New York Times, where Professor Marianne Hirsch, interviewed by Masha Gessen, claims we need to “rethink how we think about the Holocaust.” It’s a long conversation—ostensibly about pedagogy and post-memory—but it eventually lands in the same familiar place: Holocaust memory, they say, has been “misused” to justify Israeli actions in Gaza, while Israel itself now stands accused of committing...

STEP ONE: FLASH MOB LOOTING In my scenario, the initial riots begin spontaneously across affected urban areas, as SNAP and other government welfare recipients learn that their EBT cards no longer function. This sudden revelation will cause widespread anger, which will quickly lead to the flash-mob looting of local supermarkets and other businesses. The media will initially portray these “food riots” as at least partly justifiable. Sadly, millions of Americans have been made largely, or even entirely, dependent on government wealth transfer payments to put food on their tables.

On September 23rd, 2025, I published a video on YouTube titled ‘The Man Who Murdered Charlie Kirk’ reviewing all of the available public information regarding Tyler Robinson, his assassin, and Lance Twiggs - Tyler’s roommate and romantic partner. Shortly thereafter, I was contacted by someone familiar with Lance and Tyler. They provided an alleged firsthand account of what their relationship was like, how it developed, and some of the events that may have driven Tyler to do what he did. They have allowed me to publish this information, but wish to remain anonymous.

In recent weeks, the world has witnessed a defining moment in the Xi Jinping era—a moment when the full weight of China’s political and military machinery has turned inward. From sweeping purges within the People’s Liberation Army to the Communist Party’s latest five-year planning session, it is clear that Xi is tightening the reins of control across every lever of state and society. Xi Jinping is not merely the head of state; he is the state. As General Secretary of the Communist Party of China, President of the People’s Republic, and Chairman of the Central Military Commission, he holds the...

“‘This is Ireland, this is our country, get them out, get them f***ing out,’ roared a woman through a loudhailer.” So opens Conor Lally’s October 22 article in Ireland’s establishment newspaper, The Irish Times. His subject, a rowdy anti-immigration protest in Dublin County. Not until the 19th paragraph does Lally mention what triggered the protest, namely the arraignment of “an African man” for “the sexual assault on Monday of a 10-year-old Irish girl.” The first 18 paragraphs were dedicated to the “thuggery” of the protestors and fawning praise for the “well-drilled lines of gardaí.” The gardai—the Irish word for police—“quickly...

No Kings, No Secrets The Dark Money Behind America’s “Grassroots” Protests This weekend, millions are expected to flood the streets chanting “No Kings, No Secrets” in what’s being sold as a grassroots rebellion against authoritarianism. But peel back the curtain, and you’ll find a different story: one of dark money elite networks and carefully coordinated narratives. This isn’t the voice of the people; it’s a well-funded operation designed to shape perceptions and control outcomes. Amid the orchestrated chants of No Kings No Secrets there is zero excitement for this demonic cause. What is presented as a grassroots movement is instead...

FYSA: The history of color revolutions and warning signs to recognize today in the United States. THE HISTORY-Serbia in 2000. Georgia in 2003. Ukraine in 2004. Kyrgyzstan in 2005. All these uprisings and movements were textbook “color revolutions.” In each, a color or a symbol unified protestors and gave the movement a brand that could be recognized around the world. In Serbia, the symbol was the bulldozer. On October 5, 2000, Jubisav Djokic drove his bulldozer into downtown Belgrade during mass protests against Siloban Milošević that became known as the Bulldozer Revolution. In a moment broadcast worldwide, he smashed through...

Anna Paulina Luna, a Republican Congresswoman from Florida, has basically confirmed that Kash’s FBI is investigating the Dark Web extremist group “Armed Queers” of Salt Lake City in connection with the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Its founder is an Iranian and funded by Neville Singham and the Chinese Communist Party. Anna basically said that the Dark Web militant group called Armed Queers of Utah is being investigated by Kash’s FBI for facilitating Charlie’s murder (likely using Tyler as a patsy) and Charlie’s assassination was likely funded by foreign actors like the Chinese Communist Party, Iran (Hamas) and Qatar (the Muslim...

The irony couldn’t be richer. Just a day after we learned that President Joe Biden needed palm cards with pictures to recognize Pritzker and other key Democrats, Pritzker said Tuesday that it’s Trump who has dementia and should be removed from office. But the hypocrisy is still richer still because Pritzker played a big role in the scandalous coverup of Biden’s mental decline. Pritzker, while serving as a proxy for Biden, frequently and firmly attested to Biden’s mental health. Pritzker became vicious about it, attempting to smear a respected special prosecutor for concluding the Biden was too impaired to stand...

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...

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...

When I write about our favorite president, I often recall the CNN headline from May 11, 2017, “Trump gets 2 scoops of ice cream, everyone else gets 1.”2 presidencies, everybody else not named Grover Cleveland gets 1. President Trump went to New York to address the United Nations. He is footloose and carefree. Trump was among the leaders of nations speaking at the UN this week.He was the only world leader.Eli David tweeted:Priceless: Police in New York stop Macron’s car because the street is closed for Trumps convoy.Macron calls Trump to allow him to pass, but Trump humiliates Macron and...

...This is the last chapter of my report on Charlie’s murder. You can find all the chapters here: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7. I suggest you read them in order - they build on each other to create the whole picture....

First they came for Jimmy Kimmel, but I didn’t say anything because I wasn’t…a lame-a**? No. In this Niemöller scenario, the deplatforming of the host of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” comes at the end of the slippery slope, not the beginning. ABC canned Bill Maher 23 years ago for mocking Bush-era propaganda about our sainted Middle East occupation troops. Also at the request of right-wing Bushies after 9/11, MSNBC fired Phil Donahue—despite having the network’s highest ratings—for being too liberal and not pro-war. CBS News fired Dan Rather on a trumped-up ethical breach, and CBS radio fired Don Imus. Lenny Bruce...

WASHINGTON (Politicrux) — When Democrat Representative Seth Moulton on CNN claimed 76% 0f all political violence came from the right and only 4% came from the left collective conservative audiences all over America fell off their chairs. However, his comment did prove one age old expression that there are “lies, lies, damn lies and statistics” and it confirmed, whoever writes and records history has outsized power to shape the political narrative. Nowhere is that power more evident than in how political violence is portrayed in America.
