Throughout our nation's relatively short history, powerful people – kings, communist dictators, tribal tyrants, warmongering corporatists – have always resented America. The reason is simple and biblical: America's success was proof that free people who exercise self-restraint grounded in Judeo-Christian principles of human dignity and ordered society can govern themselves and flourish, unencumbered by totalitarian control.
But we have grown weak, dependent and easily manipulated. In 2008, when Barack Obama was first running for president, I remarked on the similarities between those proclaiming Obama to be a messiah of sorts and the ancient Israelites' demand for a king. In the Old Testament book of Samuel, God explains that it is He the people are rejecting as their true king and tells Samuel to warn the Israelites that an earthly king will take their sons for his wars and their daughters for his pleasure. Their property and everything they produce will be taken by the king for his own use and dispensed to his friends as political patronage. "You yourselves," the Lord warns through Samuel, "will become his slaves. When that day comes, you will cry out for relief from the king you have chosen, and the Lord will not answer you. …"
In the 14 years since I wrote that column, we have continued to abandon the discipline and self-reliance that made us strong. In so doing, we risk relinquishing to a new generation of egotistical despots the freedoms our Founding Fathers declared to be God-given.
Maybe it's just me, but I am starting to come to the conclusion that Nancy Pelosi just doesn't like former President Donald Trump. She seems to have been the driving force behind Trump Impeachment II.
Jeff Charles of Red State calls it: "the Democrats' new production of 'An Impeachment Story Part II: Maybe It'll Work This Time.'"
Impeachment is a constitutional provision to potentially remove a sitting president. But, of course, now Trump is a private citizen. Where is the chief justice? He is supposed to preside over a legitimate impeachment hearing. But Chief Justice John Roberts will have nothing to do with this farce.
First published LAST YEAR- We warned you!
A growing number of Americans, it seems, are surprised at how fast we are descending from a free and liberty-loving society to one that gives every appearance of emulating any one of many failed socialist/communist states.
But still most cling to the idea that this can never happen here – right? Of course not – although, for example, not too long ago Venezuela was one of the most prosperous nations on Earth. But hey – as the saying goes – they just haven't done socialism/communism right. Seems no one has.
For years we conservatives complained about Obama – that he was a lawless president, he was despotic, that we've never seen anyone like him. How did he ever get elected?
Take the time to watch - you will NOT forget this video.
Facebook reported a nearly half-million drop in users during the last three months of 2021, with only 1.93 billion users logging in daily. Zuckerberg attributed the decline to the TikTok boom.
Economists who carried out a meta-analysis found draconian restrictions imposed in spring 2020 - including stay-at-home orders, compulsory masks and social distancing - only reduced Covid mortality by 0.2 per cent. They warned that lockdowns caused 'enormous economic and social costs' and concluded they were 'ill-founded and should be rejected as a pandemic policy instrument' going forward. The review, led by a Johns Hopkins University professor, found border closures had virtually zero effect on Covid mortality, reducing deaths by just 0.1 per cent. However the researchers found closing nonessential shops was the most effective intervention, leading to a 10.6 per cent drop in virus fatalities. Their report, which has not been peer-reviewed, said that this was probably due to shutting pubs and restaurants where alcohol is consumed. School closures were linked to a smaller 4.4 per cent decrease. Pictured: The top 10 countries with the highest Covid death rates, followed by the US, UK Canada, Australia and New Zealand for comparison (left); study looked at 24 studies comparing the effect of lockdowns to no lockdowns and mandatory restrictions versus voluntary rules (top and bottom right).
And this coal comes from AMERICA!!!!! We export it so called DIRTY CHEAP COAL, and we import FROM CHINA "clean expensive coal." Total Corruptness in American leaders!

Pregnant women, children and the elderly are believed to be among those sent to the Xi'an camps, with insiders sharing the horrors of their detention in the Zero Covid state. Footage shared online shows people in the tiny boxes furnished with a wooden bed and a toilet, where they are forced to remain for as long as two weeks. Detainees showed workers in hazmat suits providing food to those being held in the camps in the epicentre of the latest Chinese outbreak. Those who have experienced the dystopian facilities say they have been left with little food in the freezing metal boxes.
Special Forces candidates will participate in the two-week Robin Sage training exercises in which they will practice overthrowing illegitimate governments. Robin Sage places soldiers in a 'politically unstable' fictional country and uses 'unconventional guerrilla warfare' to defeat a 'numerically superior enemy'. Soldiers will face off against seasoned military members and specially trained civilians during the exercise, which serves as the Special Forces final exam. Several citizens, however, are concerned the exercise encourages soldiers to target civilians. News of the training exercise comes at a tense time in the US, just five days after the country celebrated the first anniversary of the Capitol riot. It also follows the DOJ's creation of a new 'domestic terrorism' unit as the nation faces what officials said is an 'elevated threat from domestic violent extremists'.
