Importing Third-World Diseases Into USA

Importing Third-World Diseases Into USA

It is not coincidental that this is happening in California. As historian Victor Davis Hanson put it in 2019, our first “Third World State.” It’s the Third World people, illegal aliens, who’ve brought the disease back to California. And the state’s rampant vagrancy likely facilitates its spread.

Is Diversity Our Strength, or Our Weakness?

by
Hyphenated America

I have never believed the leftist maxim that insists diversity is “our strength.” Instead, I see it as divisive, with our nation being split into cultural, ethnic, racial, religious, and political tribes who are essentially at war with one another.

Full Stomachs, Empty Souls: Why Comfort Breeds Chaos

by

There’s a lie we like to tell ourselves somewhere between a full fridge and a stable Wi-Fi signal: once things get good enough, we’ll finally calm down. No more chaos. No more fighting. No more drama. Just peace, progress, and maybe a backyard smoker that never runs out of propane.

Hard Times, Soft People, and the Lie We Tell Ourselves

by

The now-famous line popularized by G. Michael Hopf—“Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. Weak men create hard times”—isn’t just internet wisdom wrapped in a motivational poster. It’s a stripped-down field manual for understanding why civilizations rise, peak, wobble, and then fall flat on their face.

China: The New World Order They Intend—And the Life You’d Live Inside It

by

Under a Chinese-led global order, you wouldn’t necessarily feel “ruled” by China in a direct sense. You would feel aligned to it. Your country’s economy would be plugged into Chinese supply chains. Your infrastructure might be financed, built, or maintained through Chinese-linked systems. Your technology stack—networks, platforms, standards—would quietly converge with theirs because it’s cheaper, faster, and already widely adopted.

Why TSA Is Security Theater Stupidity on Repeat

by

The Transportation Security Administration was born in the immediate aftermath of the September 11 attacks—a moment of national trauma where speed mattered more than strategy, and action mattered more than accuracy. That’s understandable. What’s not understandable is why we’re still running the same playbook a quarter century later like nothing has changed.

Electric heat is fine, as far as it goes, but I always want a backup

by

That rascally rodent, Punxsutawney Phil projected six more weeks of winter, something which should have expired on Monday, but Tuesday sure was cold as well. We know that the groundhog’s projections are scientific, because the Weather Channel sends very scientifically-minded Meteorologist Jen Carfagno to cover it. Alas! Not only did we not get an early …

The Surveillance State and the Tyrannical Bird

by

The Founders built a system based on an assumption that now sounds almost quaint: government power would be limited by reality. Communication was slow. Information was scarce. The federal government had trouble collecting taxes, let alone tracking the daily movements of its citizens. If the government wanted to watch someone in 1790, it needed a horse, a spy, and probably a tavern receipt.

From Prairie Reinvention to Permanent Record: The Death of Disappearing in Digital America

by

There was a time in America when you could punch your Army captain, skip town, grow a beard, head west, and become “Samuel Whitaker, cattleman and church deacon.” Today? You can’t change your Instagram handle without a two-factor authentication code, three archived screenshots, and your ex forwarding it to your employer.

Quiet Readiness: A Simple Reminder for Concealed Carriers After a Tense Weekend

by

There has already been at least one geopolitically connected incident reported in Austin, Texas. That doesn’t mean anything is about to happen in your town, and it doesn’t mean you should change your daily routine. What it does mean is that uncertain times are a good moment to make sure your equipment is working the way it should. Calm preparation beats last-minute scrambling every time.

Is the new “Restore Britain” movement in the U.K. a blueprint for America?

by

We are squandering our country’s wealth to accommodate 10-15 million unskilled, unvetted, third-world intruders who were invited to surge America’s open borders by Joe Biden and his duplicitous Democrat underlings.

The Control Grid Is Green: How 15-Minute Cities and Programmable Money Reshape Freedom

by

George Orwell didn’t imagine tyranny arriving with solar panels and fiber optic cable. He imagined telescreens and ration cards. But swap telescreens for smart meters and ration cards for CBDCs, and suddenly 1984 doesn’t look retro — it looks beta-tested.

A Military Retiree’s Survival Guide

by

Retirement is not the end of the fight. It’s the change of terrain. Most men in modern America are stalked by two relentless beasts: long-term income and healthcare. Miss either one and your freedom is conditional. You are one layoff, one market crash, or one diagnosis away from panic. That’s not pessimism. That’s math. A military retiree is different.

The Secret to Life

by

The Secret to Life is the Ability to Adapt to Change. I’ve been facing that challenge for the past few months. I’m voluntarily giving up an appendage and a mindset that has been part of me everyday, all day for 60+ years: I’ve stopped carrying a concealed firearm.   I’ve carried, or had close at …
