"Neither a man nor a crowd nor a nation can be trusted to act humanely or to think sanely under the influence of a great fear." ~Bertrand Russell We are a nation divided. One side recognizes the individual's rights and wants to be left alone adopting a live and let live attitude, the other side recognizes only the group and demands you become part ...

In many ways the current situation is deteriorating quickly. We can sense the whiffs of chaos on the horizon and each new day seems to bring a yet another data point. It can be difficult, if not impossible, to keep up with everything that is happening. And it is all too easy to be overwhelmed or, equally, distracted by one crazy story after another...

Recent SCOTUS decisions have boosted morale among liberty-conscious conservatives, but the Empire aways strikes back. Let's consider what these events mean, and what must be done to solidify resistance and exploit success.  Donald Trump, in the most lasting achievement of his presidency, left us with a conservative majority on the U.S. Supreme...

There are some stark prospects facing us in 2022, accelerated by the war in Ukraine, but they have been on the horizon for some time. We may find a way to avert them, but they will not be banished, and will be back soon enough. We need to understand the fundamentals to have a chance of mitigating their inevitable impact, and in the worst case, to p...

Before acquiescing to the angry activists of climate change pseudo-science, and the anti-American Left who disdain their own nation because it is better off than some others, we should step back and take a look at our energy needs and resources and rational approaches to their management.  At the heart of the climate change cult – the worship ...

The federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives has never been a guarantor of the rights of law-abiding Americans; but its most recent actions are some of the worst in its history. We've all heard the jokes. ATF should be a convenience store, not a government agency. Hide your dog if they come knocking on your door. Insult them by ...

Part 1 The American republic faces its greatest existential threat since its founding. We must see this threat for what it is, and then find ways to defeat it and preserve the nation our forefathers founded. For the moment, the levers of power in Washington are out of the hands of Constitutionally-motivated American patriots. The Judicial Branch is...

Our rationale for "prepping" (preparedness) is to develop resilience in the face of emerging threats to our health, safety, and freedom – whether natural or manmade, intentional or unintentional – so that we are not distracted from the struggle for the soul of our nation.  The origins of the prepping movement Prepping in America grew out of th...

The principles of individual liberty and of representative, constitutional government are at risk in today's America.   Thomas Paine wrote the first of his series of pamphlets later published as The American Crisis in December, 1776 when the morale of American revolutionaries was at its lowest point – the Continental Army driven from New York ...

The Political Right has so many self-inflicted constraints it can be surprising that it ever gets to wield or keep any power at all. The so-called leadership wants to be courted by the Washington media and dinner party circuit such that it will do anything to avoid their rejection. They think the game is still the same, where the old rules apply an...
