Cancel culture, wokeism and left-wing radicalism on campus are nothing new. The lefties have been shouting down conservative speakers, demanding “safe spaces,” and acting like snowflakes for years. One frequently heard complaint is: Where’s the accountability? Where are the deans and university presidents who will stand up to the Marxist mobs? Where are the lawyers…

There’s a long list of reasons why Biden either won’t be the nominee for president or will lose the election if he is. The list includes obvious points like age, physical infirmity, senility, low intelligence, and corruption. There are more political reasons, such as the lowest approval rating of any president in the history of…

Our readers understand all the reasons why Biden will not be the Democratic nominee for President in 2024. He’s physically infirm; there are reliable reports that Biden had recently suffered two mini-strokes, which are being covered up by the media. Those strokes are not at all unexpected given that Biden is 80, has had two…

Last week was a tough one in U.S. stock markets, as reported here. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 2.1%. The S&P 500 fell 2.5%. And the NASDAQ fell 2.6% led by declines in Meta (formerly Facebook) and Google (trading as Alphabet). This decline puts the NASDAQ solidly in correction territory, down over 10% from the…

We’re all familiar with the classic scene from the movie Jerry Maguire where the sports talent, played by Cuba Gooding Jr., screams at his agent, played by Tom Cruise, “Show me the money!” Well, Joe Biden had been doing something similar with the press for almost a year. There is a mountain of evidence that the…

Where were you on March 9, 2022, when President Biden signed the death warrant on American freedom? On that day, in a hushed ceremony at the White House without the approval of Congress, the states or the American people, Biden signed into law Executive Order 14067. Buried in his order are a few paragraphs, titled…

Our readers are better informed on the subject of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) than any other audience. We’ve written about them extensively, explaining how the push for CBDCs goes hand in hand with the elimination of cash. The idea is to make all financial transactions 100% digital. Along with that comes the fact that…

We all know how much public officials lied during the recent pandemic. They claimed they had “vaccines,” which were really experimental gene-modification treatments that had no traditional vaccine-like effects. They claimed the vaccines prevented infection. That was a lie. They claimed the vaccines stopped the spread of the disease. That was a lie. Over five…

The scope of the Hamas atrocities that took place over the course of the October 7 – 8 attack on Israel are so grave and so extensive they can barely be comprehended. I hesitate to describe them in any detail. Specific accounts are readily available from most mainstream media. But it’s too much to gloss…

There are plenty of hardline Israelis who are ready for war with Hamas in Gaza and will do what it takes to destroy Hamas both politically and militarily in response to the recent atrocities. But it’s also not unusual to find moderate Jews around the world who have not favored the hardline approach and who…
