We are becoming gutless and uninspired.(Snip)How did we get to such a sickening array of missteps and confused values?  To understand this quality-of-life decline, we must turn our historical telescope back in time to the early twentieth century, and in particular to the administration of Pres. Woodrow Wilson.  During his administration, we see the passage of a federal income tax amendment to the U.S. Constitution, the creation of the Federal Reserve Bank, and the passage of the Clayton Antitrust Act (I almost typed “Antitruth Act”).The income tax became a giant step toward socialism

I found the author "rude and crude", since he felt he had to use those terms, which should have been expunged.

Yeah, I was annoyed by Ludwig's "sometimes rude and crude" thing, too. But otherwise his trip down memory lane was interesting.

In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea, With a glory in his bosom that transfigures you and me: As he died to make men holy, let us die to make men free,– Julia Ward Howe, Battle Hymn of the Republic The anniversary of Abraham Lincoln’s birthday was February 12. Since we now celebrate Presidents’ Day in memory of all our deceased presidents, Americans did not pause for a moment to remember Lincoln. This is very sad, given what Lincoln said that nullifies our contemporary outpouring of anti-White racism.

Kathy Ruemmler, Goldman Sachs' top attorney, is leaving due to her ties to Jeffrey Epstein, the late New York financier and convicted child predator, who was found dead in his cell in August 2019. Numerous files and communications related to this man have been released. This development is unwelcome, especially to Democrats, who were hoping to find incriminating evidence to use against Donald Trump. However, these emails have mostly cast Democrats and their allies in a negative light, with Ruemmler being the latest example.

Reps. Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna may have gotten themselves into hot water after falsely accusing four men of being tied to the crimes of Jeffrey Epstein in front of Congress.(snip)The pair claimed that four names, which the Department of Justice redacted in the release of the files, were “powerful men” engaged in connected to Epstein, but those men were simply randomly selected for a police line up and had zero real connection to the case. Massive and Khanna claim that the fault in the false accusations lies with Department of Justice officials,stating that the DOJ “illegally redacted names without explanation and then refused to give context

WASHINGTON — Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has a clear lead in the Lone Star State’s Senate Republican primary over incumbent John Cornyn — putting the two on a collision course for a May runoff, according to a new poll commissioned by Paxton’s principal campaign committee. The Pulse Decision Science survey found that 36% of likely GOP primary voters support Paxton, 27% back Cornyn and 15% prefer Rep. Wesley Hunt (R-Texas). Another 22% said they were undecided about who to support. Early voting for the March 3 primary starts next week, with a runoff between the top two candidates set for May 26 if no contender gets above 50%.

Chaos erupted Thursday at a Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee oversight hearing when Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley confronted Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison over the astounding levels of fraud uncovered in the state just months ago. During the contentious exchange, Hawley accused Ellison of blatant corruption, alleging he worked with individuals later convicted in the scandal to shield them from investigators, and accepted a $10,000 campaign contribution from them just nine days after pledging to assist their cause.

Well, Bad Bunny ended up not wearing a dress during yesterday's Super Bowl halftime show. We have to wonder if Roger Goodell or someone in the NFL put the kibosh on that plan, especially after Goodell said the program wouldn't be political. President Trump slammed the show as "terrible" and "one of the worst." Meanwhile, the TPUSA alternative show attracted tens of millions of views so far. TMZ put up a poll last night asking which show was better, and it's not going well for them.(snip) "Estimates show that over 20 million watched the alternative halftime show. That's a huge chunk of the captive audience walking away,"

Democrat Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) has positioned himself as a firebrand when it comes to exposing the Epstein files, and he now has a chance to prove it's not just partisan grandstanding. Following the release of more information on Monday, his fellow party member, Del. Stacey Plaskett (D-VI), has been further implicated in the scandal. According to multiple emails, she used a pseudonym to solicit funding from Epstein for a "new voter file" that would help her win elections in the Virgin Islands. (Snip) Plaskett had a full-blown relationship with him, up to and including letting him dictate congressional hearings

Among the people running to fill the seat vacated by former GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is one of her former staffers, Jim Tully. Introducing himself on a local conservative radio show in January, he didn’t mention his connection to Greene until asked by the host.(snip)There’s a clear pattern in how the Republicans running to replace Greene address her resignation and her split with President Donald Trump. Those who are better known due to their prior involvement with local GOP politics strike a balance between showing loyalty to Trump and respect to Greene, while newcomers have less hesitation about taking shots at her.

It happened again. Another Democratic politician posed for a photo while attempting to cook meat on a grill. This time it was Gov. Abigail Spanberger (D., Va.) who tried to look normal by grilling a substance some claim was intended to represent "beef." The governor posted a photo of herself on X along with the caption "Order up!" and a steak emoji. Many remarked upon the hideous appearance of the alleged meat, as well as the deranged grin on Spanberger's face—the manic visage of an overmedicated wine mom about to mow down a rival's goldendoodle with her luxury SUV. It was a disastrous grill-related performance from the Democrats, but

In a major development that could reshape the future of federal election law in the United States, Senator Susan Collins (R-ME) has officially announced her support for the SAVE Act. With Vice President JD Vance prepared to break a tie if necessary, supporters of the legislation now say they have the numbers needed to pass the bill under a standing or “talking” filibuster scenario, marking a potential turning point in the GOP’s long-running effort to implement nationwide voter ID and proof-of-citizenship requirements for federal elections. It can be recalled that Rep. Anna Paulina Luna revealed that Senate leadership is moving toward nuking the so-called “Zombie Filibuster” —

New Yorkers are embracing a free market. Hundreds of people lined up Thursday for a chance to shop at the city’s “first free grocery store” — launched by Polymarket as it and other prediction betting platforms face increased scrutiny from state regulators. The West Village shop — an apparent nod to Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s government-run grocery store pitch — drew more than 400 New Yorkers, who lined up hours ahead of the 2 p.m. opening, eager to fill blue tote bags with no-cost produce, nonperishables and toiletries. “Times are hard.

Judge Boasberg strikes again! On Thursday, he issued a follow-up to his December 22, 2025, order commanding the Trump administration to facilitate the return of those Tren de Aragua members who were removed from the U.S. in March and sent to El Salvador so that they can contest that removal. This one spells out what Boasberg expects the administration to do to remedy the situation. To review that December ruling, Boasberg, after determining that he has jurisdiction over the matter, ordered the administration to facilitate the plaintiffs' return to the U.S. to provide them "a meaningful opportunity" to contest their designation as TdA members and the proclamation’s validity.

A San Diego children’s hospital has been ordered to continue providing gender-affirming care to minors —despite a previous effort from the hospital to end the programs to save its federal funding. Rady Children’s Health must continue providing the care, which includes therapies like puberty-blockers and hormone treatments, to patients under 19 until at least March 10, in a ruling from San Diego Superior Court Judge Matthew Braner Wednesday. The decision comes amid a heated legal fight between the hospital and the California Attorney General’s Office. The AJ sued Rady after it announced it would stop offering the treatments and procedures.

The U.S. government is dismantling the legal foundation of numerous climate protection measures from the era of President Barack Obama. The economy is being freed from the shackles of CO2 fixation. For European businesses, this will soon translate into noticeably higher competitive pressure. February 12, 2026, marks the end of a political era in the United States. On Thursday, President Donald Trump, together with EPA administrator Lee Zeldin, repealed the so-called Endangerment Finding. This is one of the largest deregulation measures in recent U.S. history. Legally, the move primarily deregulates the EPA framework. It is not an executive order or a law passed by Congress.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz was ridiculed on social media Thursday after he proposed providing small businesses “feeling the effects” of President Trump’s immigration crackdown with a $10 million “relief package.” Walz’s proposal would provide forgivable loans ranging from $2,500 to $25,000 to Minnesota businesses that can “demonstrate substantial revenue loss during specified dates” tied to Operation Metro Surge, according to the Democratic governor’s office. Critics of the plan quickly pointed out that the North Star State has been plagued with fraud scandals which President Trump claims have cost taxpayers more than $19 billion – and that Walz’s proposal would invite more theft.
