A Republic, If We Can Keep It.
I am certainly no classical scholar, I leave that to men like Victor Davis Hansen whom I greatly admire. But I have read some of the ancients.

How bad does it have to get before Americans hop off the falling elevator?
Those who have recovered from alcohol or drug addiction compare it to being on a descending elevator. They can step off any time they like by either asking for help or via intervention or they can choose to ride it all the way down until it crashes at the bottom. For some addicts, losing a …
A Free Press: RIP
Same paper, same dates, different markets. Is this real or fake? Media sometimes caters to what their audience predominantly wants to hear. Financial Samurai “A nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people.” John F. Kennedy Freedom …
We Don’t Know What Happened-Stop Trying To Shove Bad Policy Down Our Throats

CA Reparations Committee Approves Recommendations Costing Nearly 3X State’s Annual Budget
On Saturday, a California reparations task force approved a package that, if passed by the legislature, would cost $800 billion, or nearly three times the state’s annual budget.

‘Decarceration’ Programs Are Deadly to Black Americans
It was two months ago that Congress, which is normally hands off but does have jurisdiction over the District of Columbia, rejected the city’s attempt to overhaul its criminal law, an attempt which would have reduced or eliminated mandatory minimums.

Transurrection Part II
Part one of Montana’s Transurrection is the only accurate eyewitness account of what happened in the Montana legislature when radical leftists showed their willingness to act violently and disrupt the business of all Montanans on April 24th.

Let’s take the low road: The GOP should make 2024 a referendum on Biden
The rollout – if one can call President Joe Biden’s pathetic, anemic reelection announcement video a rollout – showed that he plans to campaign on abortion rights and the extremism of MAGA Republicans. In his position, such a strategy makes sense. After all, these issues worked so well for Democrats in 2022 and given that …
