We now know that all manner of left-wing/marxist NGO funding was routed from various Government agencies and programs for the purpose of advancing the left-wing/marxist ideology and keeping the activist groups swimming in taxpayers' hard-earned cash. When the left-wing uses the word “bipartisan,” you should understand it to mean “a left-wing initiative that has hoodwinked a number of weak or stupid Republicans.” Interpret it that way and you will be right 95.2% of the time.

The worst thing that’s ever happened to the neo-liberals/democrats is democracy. It must be quite an existential crisis that, after all that, the rest of the country rejected their opinion of Trump. That the guy they said was a rapist, a racist, a fascist, a dictator, a nazi, a bigot, a transphobe, a misogynist, a Russian asset, a criminal, a felon, a fraudster, a fake, a traitor, an election denier and insurrectionist, an extremist, a terrorist, a white supremacist, a phony that they impeached twice and indicted four times, and became the first presidential candidate with a mug shot, and to be convicted of a felony still won the popular vote. Look at the left-wing/democrats and all of the performative protesters and activists on the left, from eric swalwell to aoc to jasmine crocket to chuck schumer to cory booker, to all of these delusional people who believe Musk did the nazi salute and Trump is hitler.

It's BObama’s “not red states or blue states, but the United States.” that left-wing/democrats no longer believe. They went from “don’t normalize Trump and his supporters” to it’s more than justified to demonize, dehumanize, even terrorize them. They are “bad people.” They’re no longer welcome in culture, restaurants, movie theaters, family gatherings, and, most of all, democracy. Their anger stems from their class privilege of having everything they need, yet they can’t accept losing something they want nor destroying what others have. That's real greed and hate!

The American people have been watching this performative outrage for almost a decade. They wanted to turn the channel so they voted for Trump a 2nd time, and now, here is the left-wing once again, caterwauling about the very democracy that just took them out of power. They still believe that doing exactly the same thing for this long will get them a different result, the very definition of insanity. But there’s a real dangerous darkness too, a rising violence. What they all mean when they say “Hands off” is “hands off” everything. Along with keying Teslas and violent outbursts against Trump supporters, there is a hashtag making the rounds on TikTok called “when it happens,” where users fantasize about Trump’s death. All this from the left-wing that claims the higher moral ground!

If their only option is for everyone else to go along with their doomsday fantasy about Trump, then they will continue to be the crazier, violent, destructive side. Recall the quote from Shakespeare’s Macbeth:
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Let it go, neo-liberals/democrats. It’s time. CONTINUED...

For decades, the U.S. economy played the part of the rich guy at the table -- picking up the check for a global order that no longer worked in our favor. We hollowed out our industrial base. We enabled unfair trade imbalances under the illusion of diplomacy. We subsidized demand for cheap imports while outsourcing the hard questions about how our domestic workforce would adapt. Eventually, that had to stop. It was unsustainable -- financially, politically, and morally. We couldn’t keep pretending that a consumption-led economy held together by zero-interest rates and global fragility was a long-term solution. We need a rebalancing, a smarter America-first policy that pushes for fair treatment, reciprocal agreements, and a real industrial strategy rooted in technological superiority, national security, and capital formation. When you're the US -- when you sit at the helm of the global economic engine -- every policy you roll out reverberates through capital markets, supply chains, boardrooms, and governments. Words become signals. Signals become pricing. Pricing becomes pain -- or progress. CONTINUED...

Despite a widespread misunderstanding of the role of Christianity in our founding and decades of bad Supreme Court rulings, and despite the fact that the founders were uniformly opposed to government imposing religion, they did think religion, especially Christianity, was extremely important to the founding of the country. They understood that humans are created in the image of God and instilled with dignity. And if people have dignity, they must have rights to protect that dignity. This is the religious inspiration for the huge number of rights enumerated for all citizens at the founding of the republic.

The founders also believed that to ensure the success of the America, people needed to use those rights responsibly. Put bluntly, they must be moral. As George Washington said in his Farewell Address: “Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports.” For a representative form of government to work, you must have a moral people, meaning a religious people.

What about Thomas Jefferson, you may ask? He is held up as the poster child for the strict separation of church and state, famously informing the Danbury Baptist Association in 1802 that the 1st Amendment created a “wall of separation between Church & State.” But fact is that the purpose of Jefferson’s letter was to reassure the Baptist congregation that the government wouldn’t interfere with their church, not that religion would have no place in the actions of government. He did not think the Constitution kept the government out of the business of religion altogether. For instance, as governor of Virginia, he invited his fellow Americans to join him in prayer. Jefferson also made the War and the Treasury Dept. buildings available for church services. So, in his own political life, Jefferson didn’t act as if there were a wall of separation between church and state.

Recognizing the role of religion in America is one thing. But does the display of the 10 Commandments in public schools go too far? There are all sorts of buildings in Washington, D.C., with scriptural engravings, including the Supreme Court building. No one has ever considered those an establishment of religion. And there’s also a long history and tradition of monuments of the 10 Commandments on public property. Unfortunately, in the 1970s, the Supreme Court profoundly altered how the courts think about the establishment clause. In the 1971 case of Lemon v. Kurtzman, the Supreme Court devised a new test for courts to use when establishment clause violations are alleged. The court advised lower courts to look at whether the law “has a legitimate secular purpose, does not have the primary effect of either advancing or inhibiting religion, and does not result in an excessive entanglement of government and religion.” The justices thought the Lemon test would help resolve the establishment clause conundrum. It did the exact opposite. It has lived up to the vernacular definition of being a lemon.

After Lemon, all sorts of things were held constitutional and unconstitutional. The court said a public school district couldn’t lend maps to a private religious school, but it could lend them textbooks that had maps in them. Government could subsidize bussing children to private Catholic schools, but it couldn’t subsidize field trips for children from private religious schools. The Lemon test was also applied in the 1980 Supreme Court case of Stone v. Graham. There the court struck down a Kentucky law mandating a standalone display of the 10 Commandments in public school classrooms.

Over the last decade, the Supreme Court has steadily dismantled the Lemon test. In American Legion v. American Humanist Association, the court held that the Bladensburg Cross, a 32ft Latin cross WW I memorial that stands on public property, did not violate the establishment clause. Justice Samuel Alito, writing for the court, noted that the 10 Commandments have historical significance as 1 of the foundations of our legal system. 3 yrs later, in Kennedy v. Bremerton School District, the Supreme Court vindicated a public school football coach’s right to pray privately after games. Justice Neil Gorsuch’s opinion rejected the “ahistorical” Lemon.

Fraudulence in the carbon offsetting market is a growing concern. The Environmental Defense Fund suggests that up to 85% of offsets may be ineffective or fraudulent. Many projects overstate their carbon reduction, misleading buyers and creating a false sense of progress. Without accountability, carbon offsetting risks becoming a tool for greenwashing rather than real environmental change.

Fraud having been rife in the artificially created market superfluous to actually controlling climate since the 1st offsets and credits were offered. The fact that supposedly financially sophisticated elites continue to invest in these schemes nearly 20 years into this scam suggests they are more interested in green virtue signaling or magical wish fulfillment than a sober assessment of the actual functioning of the market and those entities operating in it, buying and selling offsets, and guaranteeing.

A string of academic studies and media investigations have concluded that many credits do not represent genuine emissions savings. One investigation concluded that over 90% of carbon credits issued for rainforest protection by the largest carbon credit certification body “had no benefit to the climate.” 2 published in 2023 found that credits for forest-based projects in North America, South America, Africa and Asia may in fact increase net emissions. That same year, uncertainty over the validity of credits caused the voluntary carbon market to collapse; the market’s value dropped by more than 60%. Given the current situation, “it’s nearly impossible to be certain that what you’re buying is high integrity,” says Stephen Lezak, a researcher at the Berkeley Carbon Trading Project at the University of California.

A similar problem has been detailed in a critical study of the expensive carbon credits generated by EV manufacturers. Every EV sold gets 6.67 mpg in credits for every single mpg of actual fuel economy improvement or its equivalent above the CAFE average. In addition, EV manufacturers are given additional extra credits under the EPA’s banking system for meeting its bogus and legally unjustified GHG emission standards. EV makers are allowed to sell these credits to makers of internal-combustion vehicles to improve their fleetwide CAFE numbers and offset their CO2 emissions. The amount of credit assigned to EVs for greenhouse gas reduction compared to traditional gas- and diesel-powered vehicles was simply made up, not produced after a careful life-cycle comparison of the different types, much less models, of vehicles. This is a scam, created and run by governments(1). Vehicle prices are inflating, caused by the corrupt biden regime’s EV carbon credit program.

Sound science says climate change does not pose an existential threat(2). It is not a real, clear, and present danger. There is no crisis! As such, the whole carbon offset/carbon credit market was never necessary or environmentally or economically justified.

Up until the middle of the 20th century, conquest was how much of the world ordered itself, and violence was how it was decided who would be the ruling power. In much of Africa, it has remained so. Violence, or the threat of it is how problems were solved in most interactions for most of human history around the world. The guy with the physical power to make others obey usually makes the rules.

While violence remains and sometimes breaks out in conflicts between or within nations, the truth is that the last 75 years have seen—admittedly largely midwifed by the United States’s power—a historic collapse in the number of deaths from war. Violence, at least in the West, has, for the most part, been abandoned in favor of other forms of decision-making. Whether it’s economic trade, international bodies like the UN, or diplomatic negotiations, when mortal conflict does break out, it’s typically the last of a long series of resolution attempts.

Why is this relevant in 2025? Because the civilization the West has developed has metastasized into idiocy on the part of much of the population, particularly among elites. Prosperity has, apparently, dulled their senses. They have zero understanding of actual history. They recline in their comfortable chairs, watch movies and TV shows, and read social media posts that tell them that the world is oppressed because of Western imperialism and that it was the violence of white Europeans that shattered humanity’s peaceful harmony.

The consequence of this historical ignorance and self-hatred is suicidal empathy. Across the West, leftist elites have indoctrinated much of the population to think that, somehow, the institutions and civilization that Europeans built will exist forever. That somehow—while simultaneously being evil—the essential building blocks of our relatively peaceful and prosperous civilization can and will survive regardless of who actually inhabits the West. They take Francis Fukuyama literally when he suggested history basically stopped because liberal democracies had won.

The logical result of this delusion is that, rather than strengthening the foundations of liberal democrat civilizations, elites instead import millions of mostly military-aged men who harken from a completely different worldview, Islam. Moreover, they do so with the expectation that these immigrants will assimilate and internalize those Western values.
