The “Welcome Stranger” Nugget On February 5, 1869, two miners, John Deason and Richard Oats, stumbled upon what would become the largest gold nugget ever found. “It is...

The NED, which are the architects of color revolutions in Eastern Europe including Ukraine and Georgia, states that as a result of the freeze “it has been unable to meet its obligations and has been forced to suspend support for nearly 2,000 partners worldwide.” “Ninety-five percent of NED’s funding is directly appropriated by Congress and is not considered foreign assistance. This funding therefore was not subject to the executive order freezing foreign assistance for a ninety-day review. However, despite being exempt, access to these funds has been inexplicably cut off, forcing NED to halt all partner support and furlough the...

The United States and NATO meticulously orchestrated the 2014 Maidan coup in Ukraine, not for democracy or freedom, but to sow instability and tighten their grip on the region. This was not some organic uprising—it was a calculated power play, executed with precision to install a subservient regime in Kyiv that would serve Western interests at any cost. At the center of this geopolitical sabotage was Victoria Nuland, a seasoned operative of Washington’s relentless regime-change machine. For decades, she has been a key player in US interventions across the globe, leaving a trail of shattered nations and bloodshed in her...

Lawyers for Cardinal George Pell are working to keep the 77-year-old Australian prelate out of jail pending an appeal of his convictions of sexually abusing minors. The highest ranking churchman to be charged with sexual offenses, Pell was convicted in December 2018, but details of his trial were under a publication ban until Tuesday.

The current Lawfare persecution of President Trump is not the first recent instance of a good man being done over by leftist usurpation of Western justice. Cardinal George Pell was falsely imprisoned on the testimony of one disturbed young man for an alleged sex crime supposedly committed when about twenty witnesses said that George Pell was actually in front of his church greeting parishioners after a mass. The High Court Of Australia overturned the conviction 7-0. This 78 year old man of God spent 13 months in prison. To Australia's eternal shame.

When it comes to identity politics ..... Victoria is very much Australia’s place to be. Since late last year, the Victorian government has been headed by a hard-left premier, Jacinta Allan. But voila, this week Allan has put Victoria on the international map with one of the most bizarre pieces of identity politics yet seen from a western government. On her Twitter account, Allan announced that ‘We have appointed the first Parliamentary Secretary [equivalent to a junior minister] for Men’s Behaviour in Australia’. She’s actually wrong: it appears this is the first appointment of its kind, anywhere. On seeing Allan’s...

Vladimir Putin set up Tucker Carlson by murdering Alexis Navalny just days after Tucker‘s controversial visit to Moscow and interview. That’s what happens when a scorpion rides on your back – it’s going to sting you to death even if it’s riding you across the river and will end up drowning itself, too. But the frenzy over Tucker Carlson‘s visit is still massively overblown, and the intensity of it by the ruling class is less an indication of righteous indignation than an attempt to distract from modern America’s shortcomings. Tucker Carlson is not correct in all his details, but Tucker...

A Ukrainian “coup” in 2015 that ousted the country’s pro-Moscow president put Russian and Ukraine on the path to war, Russian President Vladimir Putin said in a much-touted interview with conservative pundit Tucker Carlson released Thursday.

Peace negotiations were “almost finalized after we withdrew our troops from Kyiv, but then the other side threw away all the agreement and obeyed the instructions of European countries and...

Last year I wrote this about the shameful persecution of Cardinal Geroge Pell by police in Victorian courts in Melboiurne Australia: " Cardinal George Pell conducted a mass and was thrown into jail for over 400 days under the state government of Australian Labor Party Socialist Left faction member Daniel Andrews. The High Court Of Australia overturned the conviction of Cardinal Pell 7-0. When I demanded an apology from police because I was appalled by what they did to Pell, they did not reply. This is not a free country. As Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said, it is “off the...

If there’s one thing we can say about Joe Biden it’s that he’s a boastful jerk who can’t keep his mouth shut. Over the years, Dems and the media have tried to spin Joe’s arrogance into endearing “gaffes.” Let’s be clear — Joe is not a lovable guy who occasionally misspeaks; he’s an arrogant loudmouth who believes he’s better than everyone else. This character flaw has landed him in hot water multiple times. His blend of pathological lying, rude comments, and excessive bragging always backfires on him. Case in point: his on-camera boast about successfully pressuring Ukraine to fire Prosecutor...
