Those who minimize or dismiss the adverse side effects of America’s “transformation” reveal a failure to regard social and political progress with the seriousness it demands.

My father worked on the docks of New York City when America’s economy was booming before 1929. As with many Europeans of economically depressed countries at the end of World War I, he left his native country to seek a new life in America, which was calling for the extra muscle needed to build a brand new, modern infrastructure . . . from subways and skyscrapers in New York to infinitely more from coast to coast.

Then came the Great Crash of ’29, stopping the great momentum, dramatically illustrated in 1931 when New York’s fantastic new Empire State Building opened its doors in the middle of the Great Depression. Continue reading →

Introduction: The Fraying Fabric of an Empire

I look at the world in 2026, and I no longer see a beacon of liberty, but a dying empire stumbling toward its own ruin. This is not a sentiment born of pessimism, but of cold observation. The American project, hijacked by a nexus of central banking, perpetual war, and crony capitalism, has embarked on a suicide mission.

The endpoint, I am convinced, will not be a soft landing into mediocrity. It will be a violent descent into widespread poverty, social chaos, and despair. The evidence is no longer in the periphery; it is the central plot of our national story. Every policy, from the funding of foreign wars to the relentless debasement of our currency, is systematically stripping the American people of their wealth, their autonomy, and their future.

In fact, it seems Trump’s deadlines NEVER stop changing.

President Trump redefined his indefinite ceasefire today to a definite 3-5-day ceasefire, if 3-5 days can be called definite. Yesterday the schedule was “until such time as their leaders and representatives can come up with a unified proposal.” Now it’s 3-5 days.

It happens that 3-5 days is also just the right timeframe for the arrival of the third US aircraft carrier to the gulf region. The USS George HW Bush will be back on the prowl within hunting distance of Iran’s shores by this weekend. Continue reading →

These words should be in gold on a plaque in front of the White House!

“The first step in solving any problem is recognizing there is one!”

It is still the most honest assessment of politics in the last 30 years.

Could there be one more thing on fire at home and abroad? If it’s not enemies ceasing to fire, it’s friendly fire from within.

As of April 2026, the United States feels like it’s juggling a few too many flaming swords—some overseas, some right here at home.

A fragile (and slightly confusing) ceasefire situation with Iran is hovering over the Strait of Hormuz, one of the most important oil chokepoints in the world. Meanwhile, political drama stateside is doing its best to keep up.

Let’s start offshore. Continue reading →

“Virginia is for Lovers” — that was the old slogan.

Now, thanks to Governor Abigail Spanberger and her Democrat crew, it’s looking a lot more like “Virginia is for Backstabbers“.

Today, April 21st, Virginians head to the polls for a special redistricting referendum. Many Republican voters who helped put Spanberger in office as a supposed “moderate” are waking up with a knife in their backs. She campaigned as a reasonable Democrat focused on kitchen-table issues.

In our society, we do not push psychopaths off the ice when nobody is looking. In our society, we let them rule the world.

If there were a thousand people living on an island, and one of them began making life miserable for everyone else, there would soon be 999 people living on the island.

How strange, then, that a few oligarchs and empire managers get to push around an entire planet full of humans. Continue reading →

Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum issued a chilling warning about a potential terrorist attack on the Statue of Liberty as the U.S. marks the 250th anniversary of its independence.

Speaking during a news conference in New York, Burgum lauded the U.S. Park Police, the oldest federal agency in the country, discussing their integral role in American history.

As he spoke about their work protecting the Statue of Liberty – one of America’s most iconic landmarks – he noted that it appears in images on most terrorist recruiting sites, warning that it could become the target of an attack one day.

“The Statue of Liberty, by the way, is the most featured image on terrorist recruiting sites,” Burgum said. “It’s the thing that, if someone could wreck our 250th anniversary…”

He went on to say that the U.S. Park Police screens over 4 million people who visit the monument each year before they board the iconic ferry that takes them to the island on which it sits.

“They protect the National Mall, the Golden Gate Recreation Area, but when you’re here on this ground today, at least 26,000 acres, the law enforcement for this national recreation is not the Metro – it’s not New York. It’s the U.S Park Police,” he said. Continue reading →

Before posting Jesus meme, Trump consulted his ‘Agent of Chaos’

President Donald Trump’s decision to post an AI meme of himself as Jesus Christ healing the sick was not made alone, according to a report. Continue reading →
