Trump and the archives claims
Andrea Widburg: The National Archives, which is controlled by a hard-leftist cadre, excitedly announced that President Donald Trump took classified information with him when he left the White House. The problem — which the AP reluctantly concedes — is that, as president, he had the final say over what's classified. That means that there's no hypocrisy in his reaming Hillary Clinton for her conduct. As a predicate, the National Archives management has turned that government office into a purely leftist entity determined to advance all leftist causes, including destroying Donald... read more

50% would impeach Biden
John W. Childs: A recent Rasmussen poll discloses that about 50% of the electorate would like to impeach President Biden. The numbers include more than 30% of Democrats and upwards of 40% of independents. This is despite mostly positive coverage from the mainstream press during the first year of his presidency. To the outside observer this would appear to be the result of Mr. Biden’s sponsoring various programs and policies that are astonishingly unpopular with most Americans. It is nearly incomprehensible that a sane, self-preserving politician would embrace such positions. I w... read more

The Democrats gas tax holiday fiasco
Washington Post/Bloomberg: ... Unfortunately, that includes a proposal by a group of Democratic senators to waive the 18.4-cents-a-gallon federal tax on gasoline through the end of the year — an idea that would do nothing to fight inflation but would do lasting harm to the federal budget. Revenue from the gas tax goes into the Highway Trust Fund, which is the primary way the U.S. pays for surface transportation. A critical weakness of this system is that the tax was never indexed to inflation; it’s been stuck at the same level since President Bill Clinton’s first year in office... read more

The Fabian Theory of Government
The purpose of the government is to protect the weak, the poor, and the unfortunate. Nature is not fair—it grants excessive abilities to a few men, and less to most men. If the few, who are blessed by nature, are allowed to accumulate too much wealth, then there will be social unrest. By taking wealth from the rich and distributing it to the poor, the government ensures that discontent does not spread in the masses. Can man transcend the laws of nature? Man is so small and nature is so big. The answer is: Yes, we can. We transcend the laws of nature by judging nature, just as we ju... read more

"New World Order Desperate as Plan Falls Apart – Martin Armstrong"
*"New World Order Desperate as Plan Falls Apart* * – Martin Armstrong"* By Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com "Legendary financial and geopolitical cycle analyst Martin Armstrong thinks the New World Order’s so-called “Great Reset” plan for humanity is falling apart, and the globalists are becoming increasingly “desperate.” Armstrong explains, “They are basically desperate at this stage.

Civil Liability and Insurrection
On Friday a Federal District Court rejected Donald Trump's motion to dismiss a civil lawsuit seeking to hold him liable for injuries resulting from the January 6th violence.

When parents… Continue reading → read more
