Democrats always cry, “Our democracy”, when we are actually a Constitutional Republic

Republics always decay into democracies and then dictatorships “You misunderstand me, Priscus. I know that it was inevitable that Rome become what she is. Republics decay into democracies, and democracies degenerate into dictatorships. That fact is immutable. Where there is equality – and democracies always bring equality – the people become faceless, they lose power and initiative, they lose pride and independence, they lose their splendor. Republics are masculine, and so they beget the sciences and the arts; they are prideful, heroic and virile. They emphasize God, and glorify Him. But Rome has decayed into a confused democracy, and has … Continue reading Democrats always cry, “Our democracy”, when we are actually a Constitutional Republic

Waverly class assignment spurs parent complaints, plan for protest

My cmnt: “The price of freedom is eternal vigilance” – Thomas Jefferson. Hartley Burr Alexander, “The salvation of the state is watchfulness in the citizen.” The Lib-Left (i.e., the public school administrators) is constantly testing the fence for any weakness so that she can burst forth and devour the middle class like the T-Rex in “Jurassic Park”. An assignment given to students at Waverly Middle School in August that dealt with diversity spurred complaints from a handful of parents and led to one of the topics being dropped. According to Waverly Superintendent Cory Worrell, the controversy started when students in … Continue reading Waverly class assignment spurs parent complaints, plan for protest

Pope Francis Says No to Women Priests, Deacons: ‘Holy Orders Is Reserved for Men’

By Paul Bois – 25 Oct 2023 – Breitbart My cmnt: I look on the Roman Catholic Church, as a whole, rather like a hedge around the true church both within and without. She still holds to the ancient Apostles’ and Nicene Creeds but many of her keynote doctrines are extra-Biblical or heretical such as the elevation, adoration and worship of Mary, the entire ecclesiastical priesthood, re-sacrificing Christ in the Mass, and the selling of indulgences. My cmnt: The pope’s reason for excluding women from the priesthood is weak and appears to be a simple appeal to tradition or raw … Continue reading Pope Francis Says No to Women Priests, Deacons: ‘Holy Orders Is Reserved for Men’

American Oligarchy: Meet the Billionaire Mega-Donors Behind the Biden Presidency

Alexander Marlow – 26 Oct 2023 – Breitbart My cmnt: In the late 19th and early 20th centuries we had “Captains of Industry”.

French Intelligence Finds Gaza Hospital Was Likely Struck by Palestinian Rocket, No Evidence For Israeli Strike

BREITBART LONDON – 21 Oct 2023 – Breitbart PARIS (AP) – An assessment by French military intelligence indicates the most likely cause of the deadly explosion at Gaza City’s al-Ahli hospital was a Palestinian rocket that carried an explosive charge of about 5 kilograms (11 pounds) and possibly misfired, a senior French military official said Friday. Several rockets in the arsenal of the Palestinian militant group Hamas carry explosive charges of about that weight, including an Iranian-made rocket and another that is Palestinian-made, the intelligence official said. None of their intelligence pointed to an Israeli strike, the official said.

NYT Prints Dishonest Photo with Fake Gaza Hospital Story: ‘Astonishing Disinformation’

By Wendell Husebø – 19 Oct 2023 – Breitbart The New York Times misrepresented a photo of a semi-demolished building to be the location of the Gaza Hospital, which the paper initially reported on Tuesday as hit by an “Israeli strike.” According to its own wire service, the Times identified the location of the photo to be in Khan Younis, a locality in the south of the Gaza Strip, which is not in the northern area of Gaza City.

Pro-Palestinian Insurrectionists Occupy Federal House Office Building in Washington DC

My cmnt: Because every last one of them votes democrat this is a democrat insurrection caused by President Dufus Biden inciting them to riot. Therefore each insurrectionist needs to be prosecuted, found guilty and put into prison for decades – to “save our democracy” per Nancy Pelosi.

Why Americans Should Celebrate Columbus Day

BY: SCOTT POWELL – OCTOBER 09, 2023 – 5 MIN READ – The Federalist Christopher Columbus’s perseverance and courage in his four transatlantic crossings inspired later explorers and seekers of freedom. Few today know much about the real Christopher Columbus, an exemplary figure worthy of celebrating for many reasons. He was born in 1451 in the port city of Genoa, now part of Italy, named Cristofor Colombo. It has been said he chose to call himself Christopher Columbus because he liked what this name meant. In Latin, Columbus means dove, while Christopher means Christ-bearer. Some modern-day revisionist historians have taken cheap shots at Columbus, … Continue reading Why Americans Should Celebrate Columbus Day

The historical illiteracy surrounding Israel in the media and in my social media feed is, to say the least, frustrating. Though, perhaps “historical illiteracy” is being too generous.

This would not have happened if Trump were in office and dems hadn’t stolen the election through fraudulent, unverified mail-in voting. Everything Trump said would happen is happening with Biden – no world peace, cut oil production, inflation, illegal immigration (8 million since the corpse assumed orifice), mass amnesty, etc. Joe failed at everything except falling, mumbling incoherently and corruption.

The Biden Administration Finally Finds An Immigrant Family It Wants To Deport

By Matt Walsh – Sept 2023 – The Dailywire If you want to know how our leaders plan to transform this country, it’s not enough to look at the millions of foreigners from the Third World that they’re importing every year. That’s obviously one of the most important parts of what they’re doing, and it’s clearly deliberate. We have Border Patrol agents literally fist-bumping illegal migrants on-camera and cutting fencing for them. But, at the same time, it’s also important to take a look at the kind of people the government is expelling from this country. Don’t just focus on who they’re importing.

The quantum revolution, 100 years on. by Spencer A.

In total it was about three pages long. It contained a few brief thought experiments about the motion of microscopic particles. The accompanying equations were certainly advanced from a layman’s perspective, but they hardly would have fazed an expert audience like the members of the Academy. There was nothing too elaborate or far-fetched in de Broglie’s … Continue reading Where Mind Meets Matter

Great Myths of the Great Depression

By Lawrence W. Reed Introduction Many volumes have been written about the Great Depression of 1929-1941 and its impact on the lives of millions of Americans. Historians, economists and politicians have all combed the wreckage searching for the “black box” that will reveal the cause of the calamity. Sadly, all too many of them decide to abandon their search, finding it easier perhaps to circulate a host of false and harmful conclusions about the events of seven decades ago. Consequently, many people today continue to accept critiques of free-market capitalism that are unjustified and support government policies that are economically … Continue reading Great Myths of the Great Depression
