Former Alzheimer's President Joe Biden allowed, encouraged and invited 15,000,000 illegal refugees into America against our laws, against our culture, against our people, and against all common sense. Biden's vice president, Kamala Harris, became the border czar to stop millions from entering America illegally. She failed, BIG TIME, to perform her duties. Every American taxpayer continues paying a high price for THAT invasion. Thousands of other Americans have paid with their lives. Results continue as thousands of illegal aliens break every law in our society. Thousands drive cars illegally and without insurance. Thousands drive drunk to kill our citizens. Thousands distribute drugs to our kids that have killed hundreds of thousands. Thousands wreak havoc upon our medical systems. Millions abuse our educational systems to the tune of trillions of dollars. We pay billions for "anchor babies." Millions

Leftist Calls for a Purge This week, Former New York Times reporter Paul Krugman said "we really need to do a thorough purging of the United States. We need a de-MAGAfication similar to the de-Nazification that we pursued successfully after World War II in Germany." "The purge can be done peacefully like the one Stalin carried out in the 1930s to rid the Soviet Union of counterrevolutionaries or violently like the one carried out by Lenin in the years following the Russian Revolution," Krugman suggested. "Trump's MAGA minions know they are guilty of trying to undo the transformation of the United States initiated by former President Obama. If they admit their guilt and accept their punishments bloodshed can be kept to a minimum." "If they deny their guilt and persist in their efforts to prevent the collectivization that the majority of Americans want, progressives will be justified to make open war on them," Krugman argued.

Miracles do not cluster, and what has happened once in 6,000 years, may not happen again. Hold on to the Constitution, for if the American Constitution should fail, there will be anarchy throughout the world. Daniel Webster America's political leaders in both parties routinely ignore the U.S. Constitution. And, tragically, a majority of the American electorate have themselves allowed their elected representatives to run roughshod over the Constitution with impunity. In a nation where We the People are the government, the people we send to Washington, D.C., must be answerable to us. But the people have failed to hold their representatives accountable to them. Too many citizens (Democrats and Republicans) look at government the same way the politicians look at government: as a

What About Reparations for Slavery?

Opinion Column by Frosty Wooldridge
How do you explain "Slavery"? Why would one human being or group of human beings turn other human beings into slaves? What kind of morality allows one religion to pray to God, and then, turn around to enslave another group of people? Where do ethics come into the picture? What about the enslaved person, and his or her life? For the record, slavery dominates world history from all the great civilizations down through time. Slaves built the 13,170 mile long Great Wall of China. Slaves built the Roman Empire. Slaves labored, and in some cases, are still laboring in Africa, today. Slaves labored in India for centuries. "Yes, slavery was a prominent institution in India for centuries, manifesting primarily as domestic servitude, debt bondage, and the use of enslaved people in the military." Again, slaves built much of South America: "Slavery was widespread in South America. For centuries, the continent

California Dems Take Action to Impede Reporting Crime This week, the California Assembly passed the "Stop Nick Shirley Act," (Assembly Bill 2624). The legislation was written and sponsored by Assemblywoman Mia Bonta (D-district 18) "to counter the reign of terror being waged by amateur reporter Nick Shirley against organizations receiving public funds to carry out desperately needed services for poorer members of our society. Mr. Shirley and others who would eagerly follow his methods of asking to see actual services being provided to beneficiaries are undermining taxpayers' faith and trust in how the state government is handling this money." "My bill bans the taking of any photographs or asking questions that make government employees doling out the subsidies or the employees of organizations receiving the subsidies feel threatened or uncomfortable," Bonta explained. "My bill authorizes fines of $4,000 per photograph or question asked. We f

A Bone to Pick With "60 Minutes"!

For the past 57 years, the CBS television series, "60 Minutes", has exposed, uncovered, reported upon, and kept the American public educated as to environment, government corruption, crime, catastrophic climate destabilization, race relations, Congress, and dozens of other issues facing America. Most Americans think that "60 Minutes" reporters, research teams, and department heads choose the most important issues of our time. To their credit, they have been beneficial to keep the American public educated as to what's going on in America, and around the world. At the same time, veteran journalists take issue with the new commander, Ms. Bari Weiss, as to sanitized reporting. "Sharyn Alfonsi out at '60 Minutes' after feud with Bari Weiss, rips CBS for 'chilling message' to newsroom. Alfonsi accuses CBS News of penalizing her for 'refusing to sanitize factually accurate reporting.'" Since Alfonsi

The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it. Albert Einstein The vast majority of the peoples of the world now realize how corrupt and evil the Zionist State of Israel really is. The last bastion of support for the Zionist regime is in the governments of Western Europe and the United States. In Western Europe, the citizenries of those countries have joined the rest of the world's people in awakening to the perpetual atrocities committed by Zionism and are in the process of vociferously opposing their governments' support for the Israeli state and pushing out their pro-Israel government leaders. Even here in the United States, the most enthusiastic supportive country for Israel, more Americans now support the Palestinians over the Israelis. Across all public

Congresswoman Denies Knowledge of Fraud This week, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn) denied allegations that she knew about the fraud for which Aimee Bock was sentenced to 41 years in federal prison. "I know she says I knew about the scheme to steal millions of dollars in federal funds meant to feed hungry children," Omar said, "but how credible are her claims? The sentencing judge called Bock a dishonest criminal mastermind who has done profound and lasting damage to the community and state, that her conduct was not an impulsive one-time error; it was sustained, organized, and aggressively pursued." "Now, Bock is a convicted felon," Omar added. "This is a badge of shame only meted out to the worst persons among us. In contrast, I have been a respected member of Congress for more than seven years, reelected three times to serve as a community leader for Somali immigrants to defend not only their interests, but those of Somalia itself.

Why Are Cities Like Chicago Protecting Criminals Over Citizens?

Why are our governors and mayors of major cities aiding and abetting criminals? How do those elected officials avoid prosecution when citizens suffer death at the hands of those criminals? Where is the accountability? At what point does Illinois Governor Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson face criminal consequences for their corrupt behavior? Case in point: Sheridan Gorman, an 18-year-old freshman at Loyola University Chicago, was fatally shot on March 19, 2026, at Tobey Prinz Beach in the Rogers Park neighborhood. The suspect, Jose Medina-Medina, was a 25-year-old Venezuelan national who the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) alleges is an undocumented immigrant. According to reports, Gorman was walking with friends around 1:00 a.m. when the suspect allegedly approached them while wearing a mask and armed with a gun. As she attempted to flee, she was shot and died at the scene. She died because Pritzker and Johnson support "Sanctuary State and

Unnamed Blogger Thomas Massie, the most honest, principled and courageous member of the U.S. House of Representatives, was defeated in the Republican primary election two days ago. He was defeated by a blitzkrieg of cash to the tune of over $30 million (a record for most money spent in a congressional primary race) provided by agents of a foreign government and by a U.S. president who himself is an agent of a foreign government. And, of course, that foreign government is Israel. Thirty million dollars' worth of lies, deceit, false accusations, character assassination, name-calling and every form of trash-talking, filthy, scurrilous misrepresentation and array of moral and ethical garbage ever assembled in a single congressional primary race.

The extraordinary fraud continuing in America reaches from Governor Tim Walz's Minneapolis hospice and daycare centers to Maine's criminal welfare activities supported Governor Janet Mills. If you take a gander at New York's Governor Kathy Hochul or California's Gavin Newsom, or Illinois' Governor Pritzker, or Colorado's Governor Jared Polis, it's beyond comprehension to get your arms around enormous amounts, into the billions of dollars, going into criminals' pockets. Every "Sanctuary State" proves itself a criminal enterprise sucking up your tax dollars. How many states continue their criminal activities? All of them continue to rip off the American taxpayer into the billions even trillions of dollars. "There are currently 17 states and the District of Columbia that have statewide sanctuary laws, policies, or legal opinions in place that limit cooperation with federal immigration authorities."

Are the Attempts to Kill Trump Real? This week, a National Public Radio (NPR) headline asserted "new poll finds a majority of Americans unsure if attempts on Trump's life were real." The article went on to disclose that "30% of Americans think at least one of those incidents was staged. Forty-five percent said each of the attempts was real." That leaves about 25% in the "unsure" category. The poll was conducted by NewsGuard/YouGov. NewsGuard has been a left-wing "fact checker" since it was founded in 2018. NPR's federal government funding was recently withdrawn for its consistent left-wing bias. In the July 2024 attempt at a Trump campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, eight bullets were fired by Thomas Crooks toward Trump. Four individuals were hit--Trump in the ear, Corey Comperatore, an audience member, was killed and two other in the audience were seriously wounded. Crooks was killed by return fire from Secret Service Agents. I

We, the American people, have enjoyed endless water, energy and resources for the past 250 years. No other civilization on Earth has experienced such incredible abundance yielded from the Natural World. At the same time, we experienced incredible freedoms, wealth and space not known or enjoyed by 1.4 billion Chinese, 1.44 billion Indians in India, much of Africa, Indochina, Mexico and many parts of South America. It's been a heck of a ride. It's so good that over 100,000,000 (million) people have migrated to the United States in the past 61 years since Senator Teddy Kennedy pushed the 1965 Immigration Reform Act through Congress. Those refugees escaped poverty, war, disease, famine, illiteracy, hopelessness and worse to partake of "The American Dream." Because of that mass migration, America jumped from 194 million in 1965 to 300 million by 2006, and now, exceeding 340 million people. Give or take 25 million illegal aliens. But more sober

John Quincy Adams The mid-term elections this November are the most important mid-term elections I can ever remember. But the single most important election at the federal level this year takes place, not in November, but next Tuesday, May 19. I'm talking about the Republican primary election in the Fourth Congressional District of Kentucky, a seat which is held by Thomas Massie, the greatest conservative/constitutionalist congressman since Dr. Ron Paul retired from Congress in 2012. Massie was elected to this seat in 2012. (When God removes a Moses, He provides a Joshua.) Customarily, the Republican Party would not even put up a primary opponent to run against such a distinguished, experienced and important incumbent Republica
