by Michael Have you ever wondered why so many of the most powerful men in our society turn out to be sexual predators? As you will see below, another extremely powerful man was just arrested on Tuesday. This happens over and over again, but we aren’t supposed to see a pattern. Every time another big name …

by Michael We were warned that it was just a matter of time before there would be another attempt on Donald Trump’s life, and now it has happened. Thankfully, this new attempt to take Trump out failed, and so for now we have avoided a nightmare scenario. But from this point forward, Trump and other …

by No-Department-6171 The more I interact with my realtor, the more I realize realtors are the leeches of society. They are one of the biggest reasons why house prices are the way they are (you can come at me with investors, rates, inflation, whatever). They give you “comps” in the name of strategy and competitiveness …

Last Tuesday, the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments in two challenges to the Biden administration’s student debt cancellation plan, which would forgive federal student loans for 40 million Americans at a cost of $430 billion. The Court is considering whether the administration has the authority to cancel the debt and whether it followed the proper …
Jon Stewart said President Biden is too old for the job. “I know liberals say, ‘Don’t say Joe Biden is old’ — don’t say what people see with their own eyes! You can say it, he can’t hear us,” Stewart said during a comedy performance in Los Angeles that was streamed on Netflix. “I know you know …
Gen Z will never afford homes. With 30-year fixed mortgage rates hitting a staggering 7.5%, and home prices soaring beyond the 2006 housing bubble peak, the American Dream is dead for many. Even in the most affordable states, households need over $100,000 annually, while in Hawaii, California, and Massachusetts, it’s over $240,000. It’s a stark …
Charity is better because those giving can judge the worthiness of those receiving and it is not effectively an entitlement. My husband convinced me to get pregnant. I had the baby, got laid off, and left him — I’m happy with all of my decisions. “I let strangers — an immigrant family — live in …
A worldwide collapse of civilization could be triggered by what are called existential risks. Existential risks have been studied extensively by Swedish philosopher Nick Bostrom, who created the graphic above of qualitative existential risk categories. Bostrom now runs the Future of Humanity Institute at Oxford University, which specializes in the study of existential risks. Bostrom defines existential risks as a …

Haiti ‘will go hungry soon’, it has been warned, as looting sparks a food shortage in the Caribbean country where out-gunned police are battling rampaging gangs. Despite Haiti’s government on Thursday extending a state of emergency and nighttime curfew by a month to try and curb the violent gang attacks, US government officials fear that …
Authored by Charles Hugh-Smith via oftwominds, The sole remaining reservoirs of trust in American life are personal networks, local enterprises and local institutions. It’s not exactly news that social trust has declined significantly in the United States. Surveys find that public trust in institutions and the professional classes that dominate those institutions has cratered. (see chart …
China already is waging war with the US, but not with guns — with poison. In his new book, “Blood Money,” Peter Schweizer explains how Communist China mass produces and distributes fentanyl, a chemical 30 to 50 times as powerful as heroin, to poison Americans. As this excerpt shows, the Chinese government actively uses fentanyl …
We are facing dark times and the democrat socialist left is a big part of the problem. That said, I do recognize there are sick, disturbed pedophiles across all the ranks of America. However, “Democrats voted 100%. That they did not wanna put these pedophiles in jail.” These… https://t.co/PGYVIrM009 — General Mike Flynn (@GenFlynn) February …
by Michael The radicals that run most of our major cities thought that going soft on crime was the way to go. So they reduced police budgets, they legalized a lot of things that used to be serious crimes, they decided to stop prosecuting numerous low level offenses, and many hardcore criminals found themselves getting …

by Michael In “The Wizard of Oz”, at one point Dorothy tells her dog that she has “a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore”. She had been dropped in a strange new world that was crazier than anything she had ever imagined. Needless to say, many of us feel the exact same way. We’re not …
Authored by Charles Hugh-Smith via oftwominds, Politicians and corporate managers have an enviable record of self-enrichment but very little to show in terms of putting the long-term interests of the citizenry above their own short-term gains. This week’s focus is on self-reliance, a topic of increasing relevance than is more complex that it may seem. …

by Michael If you haven’t lost your job yet, you should be very thankful. Artificial intelligence and robots are taking more of our jobs with each passing day, and there will be no end to this high tech invasion. Eventually we could get to a point where AI and robots can do virtually everything far …
by Michael The United States has become an extremely gluttonous society. When I say that, I am not just talking about food. According to Gallup, obesity and diabetes “have both reached record highs”, but that is just a very small portion of the overall picture. As a society, we have an absolutely voracious appetite for just …
by Michael Over the past couple of years, vast numbers of illegal immigrants from China have been pouring over our southern border. Most of them are military-age men. So why has there been such a dramatic spike? Is some sort of a coordinated effort going on that we don’t know about? In this article, I …
A16-year-old boy was savagely murdered at a French village’s annual winter ball earlier this month.

The founders of many universities in the West started the institutions to teach Christianity. Some have moved far from that goal. In fact, a report at The Washington Stand points out how several schools, both in the United Kingdom and the United States, have started teaching witchcraft. And magic. And occult. And ritual. Those schools …
