The events of the past few days should have convinced any remaining doubters; our government is insufferably, indubitably corrupt. Tip of the hat to Leo Gorcey’s “Mugs” character on the old East Side Kids films for popularizing “indubitably.” It’s a good word. At any rate, these are real monsters, with less principles than mob bosses. […]
“You think we’re arresting people now? You wait till we get the funding to do what we got to do.”—Tom Homan, Trump’s border czar America is rapidly becoming a nation of prisons. Having figured out how to parlay presidential authority in foreign affairs in order to sidestep the Constitution, President Trump is using his immigration enforcement […]
The Iranians have proven beyond dispute that they are capable of delivering large-warhead hypersonic strikes with high accuracy. And while it remains to be seen how many of these top-shelf missiles they truly possess and what their rate of production is, the bottom line is that Iran has achieved a major strategic victory which carries a strong […]
Clownishness reached new depths several months ago in the Philippines. Not the Bozo kind, the Catholic kind. Cardinal Antonio Tagle took to the stage, donning a chorus line outfit, microphone in hand, bobbing and swaying as he crooned John Lennon’s “Imagine.” For those fortunate to have escaped the cultural junk-littered demi-monde of the ’60s and early […]

Instead of foreign wars, Trump promised restoration at home. But everywhere we look Trump is enmeshed […]
In light of the recent revelations regarding the decades-long secrecy, deception, and lies of the CIA regarding its relationship with the anti-Castro group the DRE both before and after the JFK assassination, I believe it would be helpful to recap the essential aspects of the national-security state’s plot to assassinate President Kennedy and then cover it up.

We’ve all heard the argument before – “Liberals are the ‘creatives’ in western culture and conservatives have no imagination”. And, if you only use venues like the Hollywood film industry or maybe the New York art and literature scenes as examples, then this claim might appear to have validity. After all, the vast majority of […]
International Man: During the recent Iran–Israel war, the US used up to 20% of its global stockpile of Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) ballistic missile interceptors, each costing over $18 million. THAAD isn’t effective against hypersonic missiles, which both Iran and even Yemen’s Houthis now possess. What do you make of this? Doug Casey: War, in […]
In a new report, the CIA’s Deputy Director for Analysis explains that senior leaders of the agency’s center on Russia “strongly opposed” the now-infamous Steele dossier, which was advanced by former British spy Christopher Steele and deployed as the backbone of the agency’s investigation of so-called Russian collusion in the 2016 election. Officials with the CIA’s center […]
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem held a press conference Tuesday at Ronald Reagan National Airport where she stood before flags, banners, and Transportation Security Administration (TSA) employees.
