The Thin Veneer

We like to believe America is immune—that we’re somehow different from every civilization that came before us. History laughs at that kind of arrogance.

Yugoslavia wasn’t supposed to collapse. Rwanda wasn’t supposed to collapse. Their citizens woke up one morning convinced civilization was permanent, until they discovered it wasn’t. The most dangerous moment for any nation isn’t when people disagree. It’s when they stop believing the rules matter and begin believing only their side is legitimate.

The Constitution isn’t self-executing. Freedom isn’t self-sustaining. Civilization isn’t guaranteed.

It’s a veneer—thinner than most of us would ever dare admit.

For our good friends on the left, “No one is above the law” apparently doesn’t apply to illegal immigrants.

This site’s favorite whipping boy, The Philadelphia Inquirer’s far, far, far left columnist Will Bunch, who’s even crazier than Amanda Marcotte if such a thing is possible, has told us how important it is to enforce the law. We have previously noted how The Philadelphia Inquirer’s radical left columnist Will Bunch was adamant in his …

We should never release murderers until their victims come back to life!

Tuesday morning’s lead editorial in The Philadelphia Inquirer is a complaint that President Trump is fighting a war on the truth by claiming that the credentialed media often publish #FakeNews, while at the same time publishing, as an ostensibly ‘straight news’ story that is actually a sob story about a convicted murderer who wants to get out of prison.

Should Nikki Floris Be Tried? Let’s Skip the Word “Treason” and Talk About the Felonies

“I’m basically running a shadow government across the FBI at this point.” That is a real, declassified text message, sent by a real, named federal employee — Nikki Floris (also rendered “Flores” in some captions), then Deputy Assistant Director of the FBI’s Counterintelligence Division and, delightfully, the Bureau’s own designated election security lead for 2020. The colleague she sent it to did not respond with alarm. He responded with a smiley face and “you do what you have to do.” Hang in there.

A Gated Community

Polite society expects everyone to be good and punish those who are not good. Good being defined as living a lifestyle where rewards are earned – not entitlements just for being good. Most western nations compel citizens to earn their own way and charitably help those who struggle. However, liberalism has evolved into treating felons almost like visiting dignitaries, to wit: our own taxpayer-financed penal system. We allow those convicted of heinous crimes to luxuriate in an obligation-free, communist-style gated community with air-conditioning access to TV, college degrees and health privileges that even some of our good citizens don’t have.

A Modest Proposal: Instead of Elections? One-Term Jury Duty Appointments

In his “A Modest Proposal,” Jonathan Swift sarcastically proposed that Ireland swallow its children to solve its most pressing problem.

Here I sincerely propose the United States swallow its elections to solve its most pressing problem.

I’m a results-oriented guy. Which means at some point? The fetishization of process should be ended – if the results of the process are awful.

A Retrospective on 2020 Pennsylvania Election Data Analysis

Immediately after the 2020 election, I was fortunate to be in contact with a group of independent analysts and experts in their respective fields, e.g., statistics, mathematics, computer science, etc., who provided early analysis of publicly available election data sets from Edison Research and other sources. Having remained in frequent contact with several of them to this very day (we regularly discuss election fraud news that breaks through the wall of legacy media obfuscation and lies), we have become good virtual friends – a commonplace occurrence these days.

Not Living Behind Enemy Lines, Tale #105: Armed Texas Community Stands Up To Antifa

Not Living Behind Enemy Lines, Tale #105: Armed Texas Community Stands Up To Antifa

In 2020, when Antifa came out from Dallas to try to tear down a statue at the old county courthouse in Parker County, Texas, the residents of this area showed up with rifles and shotguns to dissuade them from doing that. The police did not try to stop the residents.

At what point do the media give up on a criminal-loving and police-hating prosecutor?

We have frequently noted The Philadelphia Inquirer’s seemingly unqualified support for the city’s George Soros-sponsored — $1.7 million in 2017 and $1.2 million in 2021 — criminal-loving, police-hating District Attorney, Larry Krasner, but even the Inky has been unable to avoid covering the news about Mr Krasner’s problems. The newspaper said of Mr Krasner, in …

The Boasberg boomerang: He inadvertently led Trump to a court that may expedite deportations

Sometimes a swamp critter acts too smart for his own good. And so it goes with the Dishonorable Judge Jimmy the Geek Boasberg, who mocked the Department of Justice in a hearing on March 21, 2025, in which the ACLU claimed that the government violated a previous order by Boasberg not to deport 100 members of the Venezuelan gang TdA.

Yes, we disagree with Democrats, but I never thought that they could be this stupid

It has been said that presidential candidates like to pick vice presidential running mates who will not overshadow them, and such is frequently done by picking running mates who are dumber than them. Yes, I know: I have used that opening line before, and yes, I used it in reference to Governor Tim Walz of …

‘THE BILL HAS REAL TEETH’: GOP rep unveils congressional trading CRACKDOWN

Rep. Bryan Steil, R-Wis., details the House of Representative’s busy legislative week, aiming to pass critical bills including the SAVE America Act, on ‘The Bottom Line.’

You in a heap o’ trouble, girl!

There’s a popular internet meme that we used to think a lack of information made people stupid, but nope, it wasn’t that! We have a wealth of information at our fingertips, but stupid people are still stupid. Public school teachers are supposed to be educated, with at least a baccalaureate degree, and frequently an expectation …
