War with Venezuela Won’t Solve America’s Economic Woes

War with Venezuela Won’t Solve America’s Economic Woes

by | Nov 24, 2025 |

In April 1939, American unemployment reached 20.7 percent. For Henry Morgenthau Jr., Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Secretary of the Treasury, this was bad news. In a private meeting he confessed to two senior congressmen: “We are spending more than we have ever spent before and it does not work… After eight years of this administration, we have just as much unemployment as when we started. And an enormous debt to boot.”  Today, Americans know how the Great Depression ended. It ended with the onset...

Europe Barks Back: Riposte to Trump Peace Plan is DOA

Europe Barks Back: Riposte to Trump Peace Plan is DOA

by | Nov 23, 2025 |

Europe’s “peace plan” is pure fan fiction: unlimited Ukrainian army, NATO doors wide open, foreign troops invited in, sanctions snapped on and off like Christmas lights — and not one inch of territory ceded. In other words, the exact blueprint that created the war… now repackaged as the path to end it. And still, not a single EU leader has the courage to say this to Trump’s face. The Europeans have finally placed their “rival plan” on the table and it reads like a suicide pact masquerading as...

On Tuesday the 18th November someone ‘leaked’ to Axios reporter Barak Ravid who then wrote the first story of Trump’s new plan for Ukraine. Scoop: U.S. secretly drafting new plan to end Ukraine war The plan’s 28 points fall into four general buckets, sources tell Axios: peace in Ukraine, security guarantees, security in Europe, and...

Mexico’s ‘Gen Z rebellion’ exposed as viral right-wing plot

Mexico’s ‘Gen Z rebellion’ exposed as viral right-wing plot

by , | Nov 21, 2025 |

Violent demonstrations which erupted in over 50 cities across Mexico on November 15 were secretly financed and coordinated by an international right-wing network and amplified by bot networks, a new report by public fact-checking platform Infodemia has concluded. Those findings were amplified by Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, who has questioned what role Mexico’s cartel-linked opposition parties and foreign meddling may have played in inflaming so-called “Gen Z” protests on November 15....

Legal Nonsense to Justify Non-Judicial Killings

Legal Nonsense to Justify Non-Judicial Killings

by | Nov 20, 2025 |

Many years ago, when I was practicing law in Texas, I learned that there were, generally speaking, two types of lawyers when it came to being asked for a legal opinion by a client who wished to pursue a certain course of action. The first type of lawyer would carefully research the issue and give his honest, independent-minded opinion as to the legality of the proposed action, even if it wasn’t what the client wanted to hear. That type of lawyer had integrity and would not compromise his legal...

What the Founders Feared

What the Founders Feared

by | Nov 20, 2025 |

“The means of defense against foreign danger have been always the instruments of tyranny at home.” -- James Madison (1751-1836) America today would terrify the Founding Fathers. Armed troops roam the streets of major cities, masked government agents arrest people without probable cause and disrupt the public speech that the president hates and fears, and the president kills foreigners on the high seas whom he says might commit crimes should their small speedboats miraculously make it 1,500...

Ukraine SitRep – Power Play In Kiev And Chaos At The Front

by | Nov 19, 2025 |

The situation in Ukraine is becoming even more complicated. The war on the frontline is going bad for Ukraine as is the war on infrastructure deep behind the contact line. A corruption scandal is used to neuter President Zelenski. New power structures are set to evolve to further the execution of the war. President Trump is attempting to impose another peace effort while Europe finds that it lacks the money to finance Ukraine and the war. There are at least seven cities which are falling or...

America’s Crime Syndicate Government: Profiteering, Protection Rackets & a Pay-to-Play Presidency

America’s Crime Syndicate Government: Profiteering, Protection Rackets & a Pay-to-Play Presidency

by | Nov 19, 2025 |

Pay-to-play schemes. Protection rackets. Extortion. Corruption. Self-enrichment. Graft. Grift. Brutality. Roaming bands of thugs smashing car windows and terrorizing communities. Immunity for criminal behavior coupled with prosecutions of whistleblowers. This is how a crime syndicate operates—not a constitutional republic. What we are witnessing today is the steady transformation of the federal government—especially the executive branch—into a criminalized system of power in which...

Ukraine’s Days are Numbered

Ukraine’s Days are Numbered

by | Nov 19, 2025 |

Like a bad Italian opera, the fat lady is singing from a balcony overlooking a city that is ablaze. Zaporhyzhia, Dneipropetrovsk, Donetsk, Kherson, Kharkiv, Sumy… The Russian ground forces are attacking in all of these locations, which represents about 1,000 miles of territory stretching from Sumy in the north to Zaporhyzhia in the south. Russia is inflicting an average of 1,335 casualties a day on the Ukrainian forces, which translates into 456,695 losses in 2025 as of November 17. That is...

Brittany Pettersen’s Blood Money and the Babies of Gaza

by | Nov 18, 2025 |

Children are a gift from God. In a world rigged against the little guy – where BlackRock and its ilk scoop up homes while families scrape by on shrinking paychecks – the laughter of a child can cut through the despair like sunlight through storm clouds. I’ve seen it in my own life, and I’ve heard it from neighbors drowning in inflation and taxes. That joy is universal, priceless, and utterly innocent. It doesn’t matter if you’re in a cramped apartment in Denver or a tent in Rafah; a child’s...

Shutdown Only a Snapshot of Looming Fiscal Crisis

Shutdown Only a Snapshot of Looming Fiscal Crisis

by | Nov 18, 2025 |

The Tip of the Iceberg The recent government shutdown inflicted a great deal of hardship nationally. Federal workers — including military personnel, air traffic controllers, and law enforcement officers — went unpaid. Millions of Americans relying on SNAP benefits faced the prospect of not having food, and small businesses that depend on federal contracts struggled with economic losses. Yet, as disruptive as the shutdown was, it was the tip of the iceberg when compared to the long-term...

Was Covid Always a CIA Plot?

According to newly released emails, the United States Intelligence Community, led by the CIA and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, held regular meetings with Dr. Ralph Baric, one of America’s leading coronavirus experts, since at least 2015.  Senator Rand Paul’s office has worked for years to obtain the documents.  Baric has been accused of engineering the Covid-19 virus in his lab at the University of North Carolina, but he has never had to testify about his role...

“I love Ron Paul. Ron Paul is awesome. I would have Ron Paul on the show regularly. He is a hero because Ron Paul had the courage to … challenge old sacred cows of the Republican Party.” – Charlie Kirk, July 17 2025 Ron Paul’s 2008 and 2012 presidential campaigns influenced and inspired many young people, especially when the candidate spoke at college campuses. One of those young people was Charlie Kirk. As a teenager Kirk attended events of the Tea Party, the organic grassroots movement...

The Real Affordability Agenda

The Real Affordability Agenda

by | Nov 17, 2025 |

Donald Trump’s victory in the 2024 presidential election was due in large part to his promises to pursue an America First foreign policy and rein in inflation. One year later, prices remain high, and President Trump is more focused on overseas meddling than on the American people. This has helped enable Democrats to win governor races in Virginia and New Jersey, and self-described Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani to win the New York City mayor race by running on “affordability.” Since the...

Is Donald Trump the ‘Fidei Defensor’ for Christians?

Is Donald Trump the ‘Fidei Defensor’ for Christians?

by | Nov 15, 2025 |

I actually thought there might be some good news coming out of the Donald Trump White House but it turns out that I was likely mistaken. Trump treated the American public and a worldwide audience to an extended harangue targeting Nigeria for its alleged mistreatment and even killing of Christians. He threatened something like a military intervention similar to his aggressive posturing in Latin America and the Middle East complete with US soldiers “boots on the ground” to address the...

Justice Department Office Which Justified Torture Now Argues For Killing

Justice Department Office Which Justified Torture Now Argues For Killing

by | Nov 14, 2025 |

In 2003 the U.S. Justice Department’s Office of Legal Council (OLC) issued a memo which declared the use of torture in ‘authorized military interrogations’ as legal when done under the ‘president’s constitutional authority to direct a war’. The memo was widely condemned. The Obama administration withdrew it but refrained from prosecuting the torturers which had used it as cover. The Trump administration now issued a comparable OLC memo to justify its wanton killing of alleged drug...
