Lara Trump discusses the Supreme Court’s decisions on transgender athletes in girls’ sports, campaign finance, and birthright citizenship.
Culture
Abolitionist Republican
The Republican Party was birthed by Abolitionists who refused to compromise on slavery. They left the Northern Whigs who always compromised. Today, career politician Establishment Republicans always compromise or collaborate cheerfully. Their votes and budgets make a lie of their campaigns as “Republicans” and “Conservatives”. Career politicians made those labels utterly meaningless. Conversely, the Democrats …
Buckle Up, Buttercup – The AI Investment Bubble is gonna Pop!
Artificial intelligence may change civilization—but history suggests investors are about to relearn an old lesson. Railroads, electricity, and the Internet all transformed the world, yet each left a trail of bankrupt companies and shattered fortunes before the winners emerged. Is AI different, or are we simply watching another speculative bubble inflate? Buckle up, buttercup. The technology is probably here to stay. The valuations? That’s another story.
Surviving Behind Enemy Lines, Tale #101: Eight Levels Of “Whiteness”
It was just a matter of time that hatred from The Left would infiltrate the medical profession, where the medical needs of “white” Americans would be ignored, or worse, in the name of some stupid ass notion of “social justice.” Whitey is to blame, for example, because Negroids are prone to have more genetic diseases than Caucasians.
LBJ DIDN’T BUILD A GREAT SOCIETY. HE BUILT A TRAP. And the cruelest part? The data proving it was right in front of them the whole time.
I am a science teacher. So before we do anything else, we are going to look at the actual data. Because the data DESTROYS the entire narrative.
Black poverty in America fell from 87 percent in 1940 to 47 percent in 1960. That is FORTY POINTS in twenty years. Before the Great Society. Before Lyndon Johnson’s War on Poverty. Before a single dollar of the $22 trillion the federal government has spent on poverty programs since 1965. The free market, economic growth, and an intact family culture did that — forty points — in two decades.
The Theology Nobody Told You About
For nearly 1,800 years, Christians did not believe supporting a modern nation-state was a biblical mandate. Then a nineteenth-century theological system changed how millions read prophecy—and eventually how many viewed foreign policy. This is the untold story of John Nelson Darby, dispensationalism, and how a theological innovation became so deeply woven into American Christianity that many now assume it has always been there.
The Time I Made a Graduation Speech
It’s weird. Standing on this stage. In this arena. I’m looking at a thousand faces. Many of them are about to be college graduates. And they’re all looking back at me so hopefully, so full of wonder, so wide-eyed and eager, as if to say, “I hope this idiot’s speech isn’t too long.”
A Democratic Socialist by any other Name is still a Communist
In the 1960s, when I joined the U.S. Army, the communists that we opposed were in places like North Korea, China, the Soviet Union, Cuba, and, of course, Vietnam. That is no longer the case. Today, the communists we were once trained to kill are here within our borders, not “over there.”
The Obama Presidential Center: An $850 Million Monument to Failure
The Obama Presidential Center is finally open, but even its noteworthy ugliness and its star-studded gala opening day couldn’t outshine the scandals behind this embarrassing construction project.
La Reconquista, Part II: Goals, Tactics, and Potential for Success
This is Part II of a two-part series that is analyzing the La Reconquista movement. It calls for the cultural, demographic, or political “reclamation” of the U.S. Southwest, which Mexico lost after the Mexican-American War.
The America 250th Anniversary Celebrations Are Underway And the Anti-Trump, Anti-America Crowd Are Big Mad
The UFC event rose above all the hate and nonsense spewed by this vocal, unhinged and violent segment of our society and their cheerleaders in the LSMBTGANF. The pageantry with the backdrop of the White House predominant with events centered around the Ellipse and the Washington Monument was splendiferous.
Chasing Imperfection in a Wax Covered World: The Prettiest Things Are Ugly.
The bag of vegetables magically appeared on our front porch along with beer. I looked around for angels and wisemen.
Then I turned to my wife, saying, “Ray, is this heaven?”
She looked at me flatly. “Who’s Ray?”
You have to worry about this woman.
The Exception, Not the Rule: Why the American Revolution Was an Anomaly
Most revolutions begin with promises of freedom and end with new forms of power. The French Revolution produced the Terror and Napoleon. The Russian Revolution produced Lenin and Stalin. The Chinese Revolution produced Mao and mass famine. History’s pattern is clear: tearing down institutions is far easier than building stable replacements. The American Revolution was different. The Founders inherited functioning local governments, a tradition of self-rule, and a deep understanding of human nature. Rather than trusting power, they divided it. Rather than creating permanent revolution, they created a constitutional republic capable of reform without collapse. As America approaches its 250th birthday, the greatest lesson of 1776 may not be that revolution is glorious, but that the true miracle was what came after—the creation of a nation where change could occur without needing another revolution.
Common Sense
A succinct definition of Common Sense seems difficult to state. The issue might be semantics. Even CoPilot AI struggles: “The shared, experience-based judgment people rely on to handle ordinary situations without needing specialized knowledge.” Merriam-Webster isn’t much better: “Sound and prudent judgement based on a simple perception of the situation or facts”. Now, with each word’s meaning defined, I’ll give it a try:
Thoughts about America, the Flag, and Patriotism as we Approach America’s 250th Birthday (Part Two)
Here’s a question for you: Can a nation so bitterly divided reunite and enjoy its 250th birthday this July 4th? Is patriotism in America dead—a quaint relic of another time when Americans (both Democrat and Republican) were proud of their country?
La Reconquista Is a Threat to the Republic, Part I: A comprehensive analysis
La Reconquista is a fringe irredentist ideology promoted by some Chicano and Mexican-American activists. It calls for the cultural, demographic, or political “reclamation” of the U.S. Southwest, which Mexico lost after the Mexican-American War.
Living Behind Enemy Lines, Tale #100: Diane Needs Your Tales Of Surviving On Blue Turf
Subscribers love my “Living Behind Enemy Lines” articles. I need more! I won’t use your name. It can be a short story about one aspect of living on Blue turf, or a longer essay: A story about an abuse you have suffered because you are a Trumpster, or a light-hearted tale.
George Washington: Father of his Soldiers, his People, and his Nation
In 1775 – when the Continental Congress unanimously selected him as our Commander in Chief – and today, it is clear that George Washington was and remains, in every way, the Father of His Country.
Death By Sourdough: But What a Way to Go
I’m thrilled to announce that we are going to get fat. Namely, because my wife has been making bread.
Not just bread. Bread-bread. The real kind. The illicit kind of bread. The kind of bread that tempts you in vivid daydreams and lurid fantasies. The kind of bread you want to sign a prenuptial agreement with.
The Great Cosmic Scorecard
Every civilization seems to invent a cosmic scorecard. The ancient Egyptians had the 42 Assessors of Ma’at. Modern culture has social media, political tribes, and endless virtue signaling. The question never changes: Have you done enough?
Christianity’s answer is radically different. It doesn’t tell us to try harder, climb higher, or balance the scales. It tells us the scales can never be balanced by human effort alone. Grace—God’s unearned favor—is the answer to a problem humanity has wrestled with for thousands of years. The Gospel is not the story of people reaching up to God, but of God reaching down to people. That’s why Christians call it good news.
