Renaming Greenland – Trumpland: The Arctic Now Belongs to the Hegemon

by

Let’s stop pretending this is a seminar where everyone raises their hand and waits to be called on. The United States is the global hegemon. That’s not bravado; it’s the rebuilt operating system. When America “consults,” it’s being polite. When America decides, the rest of the world updates its talking points.

Protecting Somali Fraudsters, Washington State's Attorney General Threatens Journalists

Independent journalist said “I went to seven Somali child care locations today in the Kent, Washington area. I was told they weren’t daycares despite receiving taxpayer dollars. There was no sign of kids or being a daycare facilities.” Of the 1800 day care centers in Greater Seattle Area, 539 are owned by Somalis, most are fraudulent.

Calling the Shots: Life as the Global Hegemon (And Why the Cleanup Is Always a Mess)

by

As the global hegemon, we don’t merely influence outcomes. We decide who is fit to lead. We anoint. We delegitimize. We sanction. We isolate. And when necessary, we remove. On that front, our record is impeccable. Few nations in history have been better at leader removal than the United States. Regime change—overt or discreet—is something we understand down to the checklist.

Little Pacific Co, Washington Has Its Own Deep State: Corrupt Politicians & Bureaucrats

The Washington State Supreme Court found a commissioner guilty of violating the Open Public Meetings Act (OPMA) but, oops, she didn’t know she was breaking it. Based upon their ruling, from now on, all elected officials and bureaucrats are above the law.

228 Years Ago, John Adams Warned Us — And We’re Proving Him Right

by

John Adams didn’t write the Constitution like a motivational poster. He wrote it like an engineer handing over a machine with a warning label: this will fail if misused. When he said, “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other,” he wasn’t sermonizing. He was stating a design limitation.

Living Behind Enemy Lines, Tale #77: “White Privilege” Died When Merit-Hiring Was Outlawed

Living Behind Enemy Lines, Tale #77: "White Privilege" Died When Merit-Hiring Was Outlawed

Americans must not let a young black surgeon operate on him/herself. It isn’t racism on the part of the patient that guides such a decision. It is racism on the part of colleges, medical schools, residency programs, et al which places way too many black Americans in classrooms & training programs where they don’t belong.

250 Years of Free Speech in America: Endowed, Not Granted

by

For most of human history, speech was a permission, not a right. Kings, emperors, churches, and councils decided what could be said, written, or taught—and dissent was treated as disorder. The idea that ordinary people could openly criticize power was not just discouraged; it was dangerous.

They Promised Us the Right to Hunt. Then They Took It Back.

by

Hunters were promised respect. We were promised constitutional protection. Instead, we got a regulatory maze where normal behavior is criminalized, enforcement is arbitrary, and tradition is treated as a threat. The same system that sells hunting licenses now treats hunters like suspects. The same agency that depends on hunter dollars increasingly acts as if it knows better than the people who live on and manage the land year-round.

Two Moral Operating Systems, One Broken State

by

Historically, America understood this. Immigration was not just about crossing an ocean. It was about assimilation. Italians, Irish, Poles, Germans—none arrived culturally identical to Anglo-Protestant America. But the expectation was clear: you adopt the civic moral framework of the country you’re entering. Loyalty to tribe yields to loyalty to law. Institutions outrank kin networks. No exceptions, no special carve-outs.

Inflation and Gen-Z

by

A few weeks ago, I asked a young woman in Leelanau County whether she and her husband planned to buy a home. She laughed bitterly: “Between interest rates and property taxes, we’ll never afford it.” When I suggested she was still young, she replied: “I’m 37. You boomers took all the money and slammed the door behind you on your way out.”

Trust Us? No—Show Us; Who Really Owns Our Elections?

by

Gretchen Whitmer and Dana Nessel didn’t inherit this mess—they chose secrecy over sunlight. They chose control over confidence. They chose to tell citizens to sit down, shut up, and trust the experts. That decision still bleeds trust today. Call it metaphor if you like, but the damage is real: when legitimacy dies, leaders don’t get clean hands.
