Obama Admits Critical ‘Mistake’ Made By Enlightened Lefties

/in , , , /by

By The Daily Caller

Former President Barack Obama sat down with his wife, former first lady Michelle Obama, to gab about really boring stuff on her podcast. Such as, ahem, “Male Friendships and Emotional Sharing,” as reads one of the chapter titles for the YouTube episode.

But when the conversation turned to raising boys, Barack meandered into a critique of his side of the aisle.

“I will say, as quote-unquote, progressives, Democrats, progressive parents, enlightened ones, we’ve made that mistake sometimes in terms of our rhetoric. Where it’s like we’re constantly talking about … what’s wrong with the boys, instead of what’s right with them.”

Barack referenced his concerns as a father.

“For those of us with daughters, we’ve got to have good guys out there,” he began. “Not necessarily to get married, but … when we don’t think about boys, and just assume they’re going to be okay because they’ve been running the world, you know, they’ve got all the advantages relative to the girls, and all of which has historically been true in all kinds of ways. But precisely because of that, if you’re not thinking about what’s happening to boys, and how are they being raised, then that can actually hurt women.”

Ah. So the ultimate end of helping boys is helping girls. Barack’s comments are cut from the same rhetorical cloth as certain detractors of affirmative action: “Doling out college admissions advantages on the basis of race is bad. Other kids will assume non-white and non-Asian students are less capable.”

But consider this. If there are no good men left, who will pay for the Obama girls’ dinners?

“We joke that, talking to Malia [Obama] and Sasha [Obama], sometimes they go out with their friends, and you know, they’re in a group and the guy’s got crocodile arms,” Obama said, gesturing with his arm. “Not picking up the check … You don’t have to pick it up all the time, but if you’re never picking it up, that’s a problem. If you’re never opening a door, or pulling out a chair, because that’s just common courtesy.”

Such subtle chivalry was common courtesy at some point in recent memory. Say, when Barack himself was born. But progress demands progress. “Safe, legal, and rare” rapidly became “empowering, on-demand, and always to be applauded.”

Opening the door for a woman may seem a simple expectation. But it builds on the premise that men and women are different. That they should behave differently. That men have a particular obligation to women, which, crucially, is reciprocated via a host of obligations exclusive to women. Manners of this sort are a social technology which negotiates sex differences.

Barack himself doesn’t appear to place much stock in those differences. He crowed about the U.S. Supreme Court decision to affirm the constitutionality of same-sex marriages in Obergefell v. Hodges as a “victory for America.” It “made our union a little more perfect.”

Revolutions always were prone to exacting measured revenge on their own vanguards. Though Malia and Sasha will probably figure out a way to pay for their own brunches, one imagines.

Dismantling Judeo-Christian Values, One Case at a Time? thumbnail

Dismantling Judeo-Christian Values, One Case at a Time?

/in , , , /by

By Jerry Newcombe, D. Min.

Did the founders of America intend for God to be banished from the public arena?

The idea occurs so regularly in modern times that we tend to think it’s what the founders wanted. For example, recently, a law allowing the posting of the Ten Commandments in Louisiana schools has been blocked as unconstitutional (for the moment) by a court.

Yet one early American politician had the temerity to write and do the following:

  • He wrote that “the councils of the General Government in their decisions…[were drawn from] the…precepts of the gospel.”
  • He wrote that “liberty to worship our creator…[is] deemed in other countries incompatible with good government, and yet proved by our experience to be its best support.”
  • He signed an “Act Appointing a Chaplain to Each Brigade of the Army.”
  • He wrote: “Our right to life, liberty…is not left to the feeble and sophistical investigations of reason, but is impressed on the sense of every man. We do not claim these under the charters of kings or legislators, but under the King of kings.”

Of course, the “King of kings” refers to Jesus.

This is amazing. Didn’t this political leader know that the founders intended for the public square in America? Actually, these are words and actions of Thomas Jefferson, from whom comes the phrase “separation of church and state”—words not found in our Constitution.

Dr. Robert J. Pacienza, the CEO of Coral Ridge Ministries, recently observed, “This is where secularism fails. It borrows the fruit of Christianity but rejects the root. And like a branch severed from the vine, it withers….You cannot have ordered liberty without moral law, and you cannot have moral law without God.”

A great American would concur. In his First Inaugural Address in 1789, President George Washington said, “the propitious smiles of Heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right which Heaven itself has ordained.”

Dr. Peter Lillback, founder of Providence Forum, for which I now serve as executive director, told me what he thought Washington might have had in mind when he referred to “the eternal rules of order and right…” According to Lillback, it was the Ten Commandments. Week after week, Washington worshiped in churches with the writing on the walls of the Ten Commandments (and the Lord’s Prayer and the Apostles’ Creed).

David Gibbs III, the founder and head of the National Center for Life and Liberty, once told me: “The Ten Commandments serve as the foundational principles of American law, and that is why they are etched in the stone above the Supreme Court. Allowing school children to be exposed to these historical documents is imperative to preserve culture and law for future generations. Schools can teach history without violating the constitution, and nations that forsake their heritage are doomed to forget their foundational principles upon which their continued success depends.”

Someone might say, “You can’t legislate morality.” Certainly, we can’t order people to bow down and worship the one true God, whose commands comprise the Decalogue.

But all legislation reflects someone’s morality. Why is the Judeo-Christian system that helped give birth to the freedoms we enjoy somehow declared unconstitutional?

Is any reference to Christianity in official acts unconstitutional? Well, how is the Constitution itself signed? “In the year of our Lord, 1787.” That is a reference to Jesus in our nation’s governing document. Does that mean that the Constitution is “unconstitutional”?

Someone might argue that the founders didn’t mean anything by saying “the year of our Lord.” But today’s secularists are so threatened by it that they’ve changed the reference to years from AD (as in Anno Domini, Latin for “the year of our Lord”) to CE (as in Common Era).

We’ve been robbed of our heritage. Children in schools are stealing, lying, and in some cases killing others. But woe to those who would post the Ten Commandments in schools, with its prohibitions against stealing, lying, and killing.

Someone might say it’s not those parts of the Decalogue that are supposedly “unconstitutional,” it’s the God parts. But then the question is: Where is there any sense of accountability if we remove God?

Can America last as a nation, when we have been so cut off, at least by the elites, from our Judeo-Christian foundation? Is the handwriting on the wall for America? Or will we return to the type of writing on the wall, the Ten Commandments, that Washington and other founders of America used to guide their lives?

As Thomas Jefferson once asked, “[C]an the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are the gift of God?”

Some Surprisingly Frank Insights: What’s the takeaway for us? thumbnail

Some Surprisingly Frank Insights: What’s the takeaway for us?

/in , , , /by

By John Droz, Jr.

Scottie Scheffler is widely regarded as the best golfer in the world for several years now. In addition to being a superior golfer, he has always been pleasant, respectful, hard-working, etc. When he speaks, most people listen as he is also a thoughtful individual. I’m reposting what he said in a recent interview as it is quite different from what almost all other top athletes in any sport publicly say (I’ve bolded a few unusual comments)…

PORTRUSH, Northern Ireland — On the brink of a tournament that could get Scottie Scheffler to four major wins and three of the four legs of the career Grand Slam at age 29, the unquestioned best player in the world said Tuesday that he doesn’t find true fulfillment in winning.

WATCH: Scottie Scheffler: “I’d much rather be a great father than a great golfer.”

“This is not a fulfilling life,” Scheffler said. “It’s fulfilling from the sense of accomplishment, but it’s not fulfilling from a sense of the deepest places of your heart.”

Scheffler has won two Masters, added a third major when he won the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow this year and has 16 career wins since turning professional. He has, in the past, talked at length about not rooting his identity in golf despite acknowledging how badly he wants to win every time he tees it up.

“That’s something that I wrestle with on a daily basis,” Scheffler said at Royal Portrush, where the Open Championship begins Thursday. “It’s like showing up at the Masters every year; it’s like why do I want to win this golf tournament so badly? Why do I want to win the Open Championship so badly? I don’t know because, if I win, it’s going to be awesome for two minutes.”

Scheffler said Tuesday that sometimes he doesn’t understand the point of winning, even a major championship, because he knows that the nature of the sport will simply be to move on to next week, where he will be asked the same questions about where he goes from here.

“Is it great to be able to win tournaments and to accomplish the things I have in the game of golf? Yeah, it brings tears to my eyes just to think about it because I’ve literally worked my entire life to be good at this sport,” Scheffler said. “To have that kind of sense of accomplishment, I think, is a pretty cool feeling. To get to live out your dreams is very special, but at the end of the day, I’m not out here to inspire the next generation of golfers. I’m not out here to inspire someone to be the best player in the world, because what’s the point?”

As an example, Scheffler brought up the Byron Nelson event on the PGA Tour, which is a tournament, he said, that he has tried to work to win “his entire life,” given it’s his hometown event. Earlier this year, Scheffler shot 31 under on his way to winning the event outside of Dallas and still, he said, he was struck by how fleeting the moment felt.

“You win it, you celebrate, get to hug my family, my sister’s there, it’s such an amazing moment. Then it’s like, OK, what are we going to eat for dinner? Life goes on,” Scheffler said. “It feels like you work your whole life to celebrate winning a tournament for like a few minutes. It only lasts a few minutes.”

Still, Scheffler admitted he can’t help but continue to seek out that feeling, however fleeting, even knowing that, statistically, he is more likely to lose than to win every time he plays.

“It sucks. I hate it, I really do,” Scheffler said of losing. “We work so hard for such little moments. I’m kind of sicko; I love putting in the work, I love getting to practice, I love getting to live out my dreams. But at the end of the day, sometimes I just don’t understand the point.”

The point this week, to many of the players in the field, is getting to raise the Claret Jug on Sunday. Scheffler is not immune from sharing that feeling, and he is doing everything in his power to prepare to win his fourth major championship.

In four appearances at The Open, Scheffler has two top-10 finishes and two finishes outside the top 20. It’s a testament to his consistently high play at major championships that this tournament is likely the one where his performance has not quite matched his other major starts.

“If I come in second this week or if I finish dead last, no matter what happens, we’re always on to the next week,” Scheffler said. “That’s one of the beautiful things about golf, and it’s also one of the frustrating things, because you can have such great accomplishments, but the show goes on. That’s just how it is.”

The Bottom Line —

It’s healthy to periodically step back and review what path we’re on: are we focused on the memorable, or are we overly occupied by the mundane?

The takeaway is that we all should regularly do some Critical Thinking about the priorities in our life — and whether our time and efforts reflect them…

Put another way: if we died today, what would our epitaph be?

More importantly, when we cash in our chips, the Big Guy will likely say something like: “My child, I blessed you with several talents, and graced you with multiple opportunities. What did you do with them?”

What will your answer be?

Another Hamas Propaganda Victory: The Truth Behind the Tampa ‘Businessman’ Killed in Judea and Samaria thumbnail

Another Hamas Propaganda Victory: The Truth Behind the Tampa ‘Businessman’ Killed in Judea and Samaria

/in , , , /by

By Jihad Watch

A Palestinian-American man from Tampa, Florida, was killed near the Jewish community of Ateret in Judea and Samaria (also known as the West Bank) this month, prompting yet another round of sympathetic coverage in U.S. media outlets. News reports described him as a “beloved businessman,” the owner of an ice cream parlor, a harmless young man who liked comedy and beaches. What they did not report, however, is far more telling — and more damning.

Let’s start with the so-called ice cream business.

The victim has been widely described as the owner of “Ice Screamin,” a supposed dessert shop. But a check of business records shows otherwise. There are two other individuals tied to the business. Only one of them, Ibrahim Mujahid, appears to have a meaningful entrepreneurial history. Mujahid previously operated Rani Express, a transportation and warehousing company in Georgia that is now defunct. He also operates Caring Angels, a home care service in Minnesota that is still in business.

That’s the real owner of “Ice Screamin.” Not the man killed in Judea and Samaria. Which explains why every news profile has skipped the usual “humble beginnings to business success” narrative. There’s no inspiring small business story. The man in question was no upstanding, hardworking American entrepreneur.

It gets worse.

Nearly every outlet has failed to report that the incident took place in Ateret, a Jewish “settlement.” This is true—and completely ignored also is the fact that Ateret has existed since 1981, long before the victim was even born. Yet the press claims that this man was killed while he was “defending his land.” But where is this land? Did this Palestinian own land within the Jewish settlement? Is there a deed? Proof of purchase? Coordinates? Or are we once again expected to accept such claims on faith, simply because they come wrapped in keffiyeh-colored pathos?

This incident is being used precisely as Hamas intended: to paint every defensive Israeli action as an unjustified killing, and every Palestinian casualty as a peaceful victim of “settler violence.” It’s media theater — an information operation dressed up as local tragedy. Hamas, or those working in tandem with it, have perfected this script.

And of course, the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR)  has predictably leaped to the microphone. CAIR has made a public show of outrage over the death of an American citizen. But let’s be clear: CAIR has shown no comparable concern for the Americans who are currently being held hostage by Hamas. No press conferences. No letter-writing campaigns. No breathless appearances on CNN. Evidently, not all American lives are worth the same level of outrage — at least not when it’s Hamas doing the killing.

That’s what this story is — a Hamas narrative dressed in the language of American civil rights and entrepreneurship. And the Western media, as always, plays along.

Don’t be fooled.

This is an interesting and potentially a sea change event.

SPAIN: Scenes of the Piera Mosque in Barcelona being burnt down.

Just for balance, I have it on good authority that over SIX HUNDRED Churches have been burned to the ground since Trudeau became PM in Canada. Links to follow on that.

We have covered numerous Churches and cathedrals which have been burned to the ground in France, Germany and across Europe as well as major ones in the USA.

This is just the first time we have heard of a Mosque getting torched by some of the victims of the people who are recipients of the actions by those that are fed its hate-filled dogma 5 times a day.

When Kevin Krehan put a strip of bacon on a mosque doorknob he was sent to prison for it, where he received the death penalty. Defacto not de jure. but anyone would know a man sent to a UK prison for insulting a mosque would be killed inside. So calling it de Jure would only be 1 baby step from truth.

Thinking vs Critical Thinking thumbnail

Thinking vs Critical Thinking

/in , , , /by

By John Droz, Jr.

It’s important to know the difference… 

I had a nice chat the other day with a friend, and the subject came up: what is the difference between normal thinking and Critical Thinking? I thought we must have covered this before here, but I couldn’t find it. My apologies…

Briefly, Critical Thinking = normal thinking + more thoroughness + wisdom.

Critical Thinking is deeper and wider than normal thinking.

The word “critical” is key. It means thinking that is cautious, reflective, questioning, skeptical, …

A Good Analysis —

From this fine discussion: Thinking is a fundamental human activity, occurring when the mind processes information and forms ideas or concepts. It can be spontaneous, random, or directed, allowing us to understand, interpret, and make decisions about the world around us. Critical thinking, however, is a refined form of thinking. It demands a deeper level of analysis, evaluation, and synthesis of information to form a judgment.

Thinking can be passive. For instance, daydreaming or recalling a memory requires thinking but not necessarily any analytical process. Critical thinking, in contrast, is always active. It involves assessing the credibility of sources, identifying biases, and weighing evidence before drawing conclusions.

While thinking can often be based on personal beliefs, feelings, or incomplete information, Critical Thinking necessitates a rigorous approach to ensure objectivity and accuracy. It’s a skill that needs to be cultivated and practiced, requiring one to be skeptical, open-minded, and methodical.

Thinking is inherent and is something we do every day without much effort. Critical thinking, on the other hand, often requires more energy and attention. It challenges one’s own beliefs and assumptions, aiming for clarity, coherence, and logical consistency.

An Example —

From this college course: answer this question with the first answer that comes to mind, no matter what it is… A student went to the campus bookstore and bought two pencils for a total of 10 cents. How much did each pencil cost?

If you answered 5 cents (a total of 10 cents divided by two pencils equals 5 cents), your thinking fits the definition of normal thinking. In other words, it was based on simple recall of memorized information. You recalled those math formulas you memorized in school in order to answer the question.

On the other hand, if you had any other answer, you weren’t just thinking normally — you were likely thinking critically, because you were doing more than relying on recall of basic information.

For those in the latter case, unconsciously their thinking/ reasoning warning light went off. Perhaps they said to themselves, “I can’t tell. Maybe: a) one pencil is bigger than the other, or b) one is a red pencil, or c) one is a bigger pencil. In these cases, one pencil may cost 6 cents and the other 4 cents.”

Or perhaps you thought, “Wait a minute, I need more information.” Maybe you questioned the whole idea of two pencils being so cheap, or you thought that this had to be some type of trick question because it was so simple.

Hopefully, this simple example makes this distinction clearer…

Takeaway —

Put yet another way, regular thinking is like taking a drink of water — which most of us do reflexively a dozen or more times a day.

Critical Thinking is more like going to a winery and trying out several sample offerings. Both times we are swallowing liquids, but at the latter we are much more attentive — and critical!

The Ten Plagues of Socialism thumbnail

The Ten Plagues of Socialism

/in , , , /by

By Beverly Newman, Ed. D.

  1. DECEPTION
  2. DISCRIMINATION
  3. DEATH
  4. DEPRIVATION
  5. DENIAL
  6. DESTITUTION
  7. DELUSIONS
  8. DARKNESS
  9. DREAD
  10. DISGUISE

Socialism artfully deceives its consumers with promises unkept — Just ask the true survivors of socialism.

Socialism is anti-social, discriminating against minorities throughout history, subjugating them, and/or eliminating them.

Socialism is inseparable from mass deaths of minority peoples and dissidents.

Socialism means mass deprivations of societal norms and necessities — Just watch the levels of poverty in socialist countries.

Socialism denies basic humanity of minority persons and their fundamental needs.

Socialism discrimination causes destitution.

Socialism uses illusions that bring delusions of a good life that turns very bitter and filled with daily hardships – working in jobs assigned to the people without freedom of choices.

Socialism is a kind of dark religion that everyone is forced to believe without objections or receive exile from society or other drastic punishments.

Socialism inflicts dread on those forced to obey orders from corrupt leaders or suffer confinements and indescribable punishments.

Socialism has many disguises like democratic socialism to entice youths, in particular, to imagine a freer or better life for themselves until they are trapped inside of anti-social socialism and unable to leave at will as were Jews in the Soviet Union for decades forbidden to leave their lives of desperation.

“Some came with sledgehammers, some just with their bare hands. On the night of November 9, 1989, jubilant crowds began tearing down the Berlin Wall, an infamous barrier dividing families, a city, a nation. Even as we celebrate that iconic moment, the moral meaning of the Berlin Wall is little understood.

“The Berlin Wall was built and murderously enforced in the name of a profoundly destructive political idea, which, alarmingly, many today are embracing….”

Why 3rd Party Will Fail thumbnail

Why 3rd Party Will Fail

/in , , , /by

By Royal A. Brown III

You may recall that Ross Perot received 17% of vote in 1992 POTUS election which helped throw the election to Bill Clinton who only received 42% of vote.  Of course George H. W. Bush was a lousy candidate with his push for a New World Order and failed 1988 campaign promise of no new taxes.

This is main concern of a 3rd party, e.g. it could serve as a spoiler in case of 2028 perhaps more so for the Republican nominee than the Democrats.

Elon Musk wants to launch a competitive third party. It likely wouldn’t be easy

Elon Musk says he’s forming a new political party, perhaps to compete for key congressional contests. It likely won’t be easy.

The polarizing billionaire had been a close adviser to President Trump, but began floating his idea for the America Party after their very public falling out and Musk’s criticism of Trump’s newly enacted domestic policy bill, largely because it’s expected to add trillions to the national debt.

It’s unclear if Musk — who in May said he would scale back his political spending — will actually try to turn his plan into reality. But he said his proposed party is aimed at providing a political home to centrist voters — or, as he put it, the “80% in the middle.”

Trump himself has ridiculed the idea, writing that “The System seems not designed for [third parties]. The one thing Third Parties are good for is the creation of Complete and Total DISRUPTION & CHAOS.”

Clearing ballot hurdles

Qualifying to appear on a ballot as a third-party candidate is difficult and pricey in many states.

Richard Winger, who runs a website called Ballot Access News, says these days it’s pretty much unheard of for a third party to get on the ballot in most U.S. House districts.

“Libertarians managed to run just over half the seats back in 2000,” he said, “but ever since then, no third party has been able to run for the U.S. House in more than a fourth of the seats.”

A big reason for that is the patchwork of state laws that decide who gets on a ballot. Winger says many state lawmakers like tougher qualifying rules for third-party candidates.

“When they write the law on how a new party or an independent gets on the ballot for district office — in other words, U.S. House and state legislature — that affects them directly,” he said.

Amidst the Glitz, the State of Israel Shall Not Cede it’s Land, under Divine Contract with the Jews thumbnail

Amidst the Glitz, the State of Israel Shall Not Cede it’s Land, under Divine Contract with the Jews

/in , , /by

By Beverly Newman, Ed. D.

Moments ago, a devastating explosion in Gaza’s Khan Yunis region critically injured at least 16 IDF soldiers. Emergency airlifts are already underway, urgently evacuating several soldiers who have sustained life-threatening injuries.

While Israel is being pressured again and again to unfinish its sacred mission to protect its people from ceaseless terrorism, real Israelis share their heartbreaks and broken bodies:

WATCH: Alon Kaminer’s life was forever changed on October 7th. While serving as an IDF soldier, the unthinkable happened—a premature explosion during combat left him with devastating injuries: he lost his leg, right arm, left hand, eye, and more. He was clinically dead—but he survived. This is more than just a survivor story. It’s one of unimaginable courage, resilience, and hope. Together with his friend Sagi, Alon has been training day after day to rebuild his life and show the world what it truly means to never give up. If you’re looking for an inspirational story that puts everything in perspective, this is it. A true hero of Israel, fighting not just for his country—but now, for every step of his future.

The Most Injured IDF Soldier Refuses to Give Up



Real Israelis are dying and barely surviving continuous Hamas attacks right now, as Israel is told to stand down again and again and again.

HELICOPTER — July 7, 2025 11:30 PM IDT A severe ambush unfolded near Beit Hanoun in the northern Gaza Strip, where at least 15 to 16 IDF soldiers were targeted by Hamas. The initial attack involved a powerful IED explosion inside an armored vehicle carrying troops. Moments later, additional explosives detonated in a coordinated series—three targeting the IDF convoy and a fourth triggered as rescue forces arrived. The fourth blast reportedly struck the rescuers directly. The attacks caused significant injuries, including to a senior IDF officer, with several soldiers listed in critical condition. Visuals from the area show heavy flare activity over northern Gaza as IDF helicopters airlift the wounded to Ichilov Hospital. Local residents in Sderot recorded these rescue operations and reported a massive explosion that caused widespread power outages.

In a second incident near Beit Hanoun, an anti-armor missile hit a vehicle loaded with ammunition, reportedly operated by IDF engineering forces. More soldiers were wounded in this attack. Footage shows continuous Israeli helicopter activity in the area, with multiple strikes launched and injured personnel evacuated under fire. One Israeli media outlet confirmed, “One of the casualties is said to be a high-ranking officer….” Separately, Syrian state media reported a large explosion at an ammunition depot near the town of Al-Fu’ah, northeast of Idlib. The cause of the blast remains unknown.

First Instalment of a 7 Part Series by Gates of Vienna Guest Author, El Ingles: Crown, Crescent, Pitchfork

/in , , /by

By Vlad Tepes Blog

I haven’t even read this whole part yet, just the excerpt here below. But based on that, and the glowing reviews The Baron over at Gates of Vienna gave it, this looks like a really interesting and important piece.

When I wrote Our Muslim Troubles (OMT) in 2011, it was not yet so obvious that the path the United Kingdom was on would lead to some sort of general, widespread, violent conflict among the state, Muslims, and natives. To foresee that conflict and sketch out its contours was to make a bold and analytically complex projection of recent events into the future.

Today, no such boldness is required. A growing number of commentators, analysts, and officials across Europe have publicly acknowledged the serious long-term consequences of continued, large-scale Muslim immigration. Among them are academics, senior military figures, and political thinkers of various persuasions. Patterns of rising communal tension, terrorism, and violent disorder in countries such as Sweden, Germany, and France suggest that the UK will not be spared if underlying dynamics are left unaddressed.

The trajectory towards war now being so obvious, this document will make no attempt to convince its readers that war, in some shape or form, is on the way. My objective here is rather different — to sketch out in more detail how this conflict will likely unfold. In other words, I seek to produce the definitive analytical and predictive pre-conflict document, however immodest that goal may seem. Let the reader be clear on this point — this document is not a work of advocacy, suggestion, or recommendation, much less a work of incitement or glorification. Rather, it presents the ruminations of a free citizen trying to unveil what would otherwise remain hidden.

President Trump’s Criticism of the Smithsonian Exhibits thumbnail

President Trump’s Criticism of the Smithsonian Exhibits

/in , , , /by

By Kelleigh Nelson

“I wouldn’t be surprised if some day, they put the Simpsons in the Smithsonian. It’s become part of our culture, those characters.” —  Joe Mantegna

“To found at Washington, under the name of the Smithsonian Institution, an establishment for the increase and diffusion of knowledge among men.” —  James Smithson, Founder of the Smithsonian

President Donald Trump has expressed criticism towards Smithsonian exhibits, particularly in the context of what he and his administration perceive as promoting “improper, divisive or anti-American ideology”.

In March 2025, Trump issued an executive order directing the Smithsonian’s Board of Regents to remove content he felt was inappropriate. He cited exhibits in the National Museum of African American History and Culture and the Smithsonian American Art Museum as examples.  He claimed the Smithsonian was adopting a “revisionist movement” that negatively portrayed American founding principles and historical events.

Fox News reported the following regarding Mickey Mouse and the Lone Ranger:

The exhibit reframes iconic American characters through a critical, politically-charged lens. On The Lone Ranger, the display states: “The White title character’s relationship with Tonto resembled how the U.S. government imagined itself the world’s Lone Ranger.”

Mickey Mouse, a beloved American cultural icon, is not spared either. A display for the 1928 cartoon Steamboat Willie states, “Mickey challenged authority, but not everyone was in on the joke.”

It continues: “Mickey Mouse debuted as the deckhand ‘Steamboat Willie’ in 1928, amidst a rising anxiety felt by many that modern living and city life were eroding family and community ties and loosening moral codes… But the new character’s outsized facial features, white gloves, and trickster temperament were vestiges of longstanding traditions of blackface minstrelsy.”

The Smithsonian has a rather questionable background, but I’d surmise President Trump doesn’t know about it.  Robert Dale Owen, a democrat congressman from Indiana, played a significant role in the establishment of the Smithsonian Institution. He introduced the bill in 1846 that founded the Institution. He served on the first Board of Regents and was instrumental in the design of the Smithsonian Institution Building, also known as the Castle. He chaired the Building Committee.  Owen’s advocacy for a national system of free secondary education also influenced the early vision of the Smithsonian.

Robert Dale Owen was the son of the first socialist, Robert Owen, who immigrated to America in 1824 and started a socialist school in New Harmony, Indiana.  He was just as enamored of socialism/communism as his father but felt that his father really could have done better.

The father, Robert Owen, addressed the U.S. Congress on multiple occasions.

Key Details:

  • When: He gave two speeches to the U.S. Congress in 1825, on February 25th and March 7th.
  • What: He presented his vision for the utopian community at New Harmony, Indiana, and outlined his socialist beliefs.
  • Audience: His addresses were delivered to the House of Representatives and other members of the government. The audience for his ideas included several key figures from the founding generation:
  • Three former presidents: John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison.
  • The outgoing President, James Monroe.
  • The President-elect, John Quincy Adams.

This indicates that Robert Owen did indeed interact with members of the founding generation during his visits and speeches to the U.S. Congress.

The President should know the Smithsonian’s origins, but I’d bet no one in his cabinet has enlightened him.  If anyone would know, it would be Stephen Miller!

President Trump’s instincts are correct.  His evaluation of the Smithsonian’s “one-sided, divisive political narratives” is not surprising once the 1846 involvement in the Smithsonian’s creation by socialist Robert Dale Owens is fully known.

Pedophilia and Politics

/in , , , , /by

By Linda Goudsmit

In an important recap of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) revelations, journalist Margaret Flavin reports on an audit of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) as discussed in a recent interview with Vice President JD Vance. Flavin’s article, “Vice President Vance Underscores Reports of Massive Waste and Corruption in Foreign Aid (Video),” posted on Gateway Pundit, June 29, 2025. The results of the audit reveal that only 12% of the money allocated to USAID for aid arrives at its destination! How is this possible?

Vance explains the corruption:

“So, we send $100,000 to this group to buy food for poor kids in Africa, okay.”

“And what actually happens is it’s not $100,000 that go to the food for the poor kids in Africa. The NGO, the non-government organization that gets that money, contracts it out to somebody else, and then they subcontract it. So, there’s like three or four middlemen.”

“Marco Rubio, who’s the Secretary of State, he’s a very good friend. What he told me is that his best estimate, after he had his team look at it, is that 88 cents of every dollar was actually being collected by middlemen.”

“So, every dollar we were spending, humanitarian assistance, 12 cents, was actually making it to people who needed it.

In fiscal year 2023, USAID distributed $7 billion of American taxpayer monies worldwide, and less than $1 billion was actually distributed to the needy. This confirms the waste, fraud, and abuse that Elon Musk’s DOGE team discovered. Secretary of State Marco Rubio responded with his March 10, 2025, announcement that 83% of USAID programs, a whopping 5200 contracts, many were cancelled saving tens of billions of American taxpayer dollars. The 1,000 remaining programs will be managed under the State Department.

Marco Rubio’s March 10, 2025 tweet:

After a 6-week review, we are officially cancelling 83% of the programs at USAID.

The 5200 contracts that are now cancelled spent tens of billions of dollars in ways that did not serve, (and in some cases even harmed), the core national interests of the United States.

In consultation with Congress, we intend for the remaining 18% of programs we are keeping (approximately 1,000) to now be administered more effectively under the State Department.

Thank you to DOGE and our hardworking staff who worked very long hours to achieve this overdue and historic reform.

So, who are the big losers in the crackdown on USAID, and what programs and policies that harmed or did not serve the national interest were they funding?

To answer this question, it is important to remember the history of USAID. Former President John F. Kennedy created USAID in November 1961 by Executive Order 10973 with the specific purpose of supplying aid when the president deems it to be in the national interest. According to journalist Mike Gonzalez at The Heritage Foundation, “USAID devolved into an agency that spent money on programs that hindered the pursuit of freedom overseas and directly contravened our national interest.” Gonzalez’s February 19, 2025 article, “The Unmasking of USAID,” explains:

“During the Obama years the U.S. Agency for International Development was used to promote abroad policies that remain controversial within American society itself and that serve no clear national security interests,” “I wrote in a 2017 Heritage Foundation study.

These agendas, I wrote, included programs that promoted—sometimes as a condition of the aid—lifestyle choices that Americans debated for decades or are still being debated, such as transgender rights and same-sex marriage or trained foreign citizens in street “activism,” “civic engagement,” and “mobilization.”…

I added in my paper that in the promotion of radical agendas in several countries, USAID has found an ideal partner in George Soros, a billionaire supporter of far-left causes worldwide. Indeed, evidence began to emerge that, under former President Barack Obama, USAID made Soros’s foundations the main implementer of its aid.

The radical leftist/Marxist programs and policies of former President Barack Obama, embraced and financed by billionaire George Soros, and expanded under the ghost presidency of former President Joe Biden, are being dismantled by MAGA President Donald Trump. And USAID is being restored to its original mission to supply aid when the president deems it to be in the national interest. The diametrically opposed interpretations of our national interest are reflected in the policies and programs of radical Democrat past presidents Obama/Biden vs MAGA President Donald Trump.

Make America Great Again (MAGA) principles follow the U.S. Constitution to protect and preserve national sovereignty and individual sovereignty in our constitutional republic. Former president Marxist Barack Obama sought to fundamentally transform America into a socialist state in his first two terms, then through ghost President Biden, and now through his ongoing support of Marxist ideology designed to create chaos and to collapse America from within. The cultural battles between Democrat Marxism and MAGA Americanism are irreconcilable differences that have bifurcated our nation and left us teetering on revolutionary divorce.

The 2017 Heritage Foundation study referenced above includes the abhorrent sexualizing of children. First introduced unsuccessfully into Hungary by Hungarian Marxist George Lukacs (1885-1971), cultural terrorism is a communist tactic designed to destroy the nuclear family which is central to the Judeo-Christian tradition that is the foundation of Americanism, our constitutional republic, and western civilization.

Before the Bolsheviks came to power, Hungary was a Catholic nation. Lukács recognized the necessity of collapsing the traditional nuclear family in Marxist revolutions, following Lenin’s dictum, “Destroy the family, you destroy the country.”

As deputy commissar for education and culture, Lukács targeted Hungary’s family unit and its traditional sexual morals. He implemented a program called cultural terrorism, which had two tactical objectives. First, target children’s minds through lectures that encouraged them to ridicule and reject Christian ethics. Second, groom them with graphic sexual content and instruction in free love and sexual intercourse. People in Hungary were so enraged it forced Lukács to flee the country. (Space Is No Longer the Final Frontier––Reality Is, pp. 124-125, Linda Goudsmit 2024)

All forty-five chapters of my 2024 book Space Is No Longer the Final Frontier––Reality Is, begin with the same opening paragraph to remind the reader that we are a world at war: Globalism vs. Nationalism:

Globalism is a replacement ideology that seeks to reorder the world into one singular, planetary Unistate, ruled by the globalist elite. The globalist war on nation-states cannot succeed without collapsing the United States of America. The long-term strategic attack plan moves America incrementally from constitutional republic to socialism to globalism to feudalism. The tactical attack plan uses asymmetric psychological and informational warfare to destabilize Americans and drive society out of objective reality into the madness of subjective reality. America’s children are the primary target of the globalist predators.

The cultural terrorism that was wholly rejected in Hungary in the 20th century, particularly the sexual component, has been wildly successful in 21st-century America and other western nations. The sexualization of children, sexual terrorism, is the nexus of the globalist elite campaign for one-world government, and the intersection of  the World Economic Forum, the United Nations, and its affiliate organizations which uniformly support one-world global governance through implementation of the United Nations 17 Sustainable Goals.

All 17 Goals sound absolutely fantastic––but the language is a lie! The 17 Sustainable Goals are the roadmap to one-world governance. Each of the 17 Goals ultimately end in the surrender of your individual agency, your freedom, and your national sovereignty to the international, intergovernmental rule of the globalist elite through the agencies and authority of the United Nations. Do not be fooled by the politically seductive language of the 17 Goals. BUYER BEWARE!

Sustainable Development Goals

  • Goal 1. End poverty in all its forms everywhere
  • Goal 2. End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture
  • Goal 3. Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages
  • Goal 4. Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all
  • Goal 5. Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls
  • Goal 6. Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all
  • Goal 7. Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all
  • Goal 8. Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all
  • Goal 9. Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation
  • Goal 10. Reduce inequality within and among countries
  • Goal 11. Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable
  • Goal 12. Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns
  • Goal 13. Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts*
  • Goal 14. Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development
  • Goal 15. Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss
  • Goal 16. Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels
  • Goal 17. Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the global partnership for sustainable development

* Acknowledging that the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change is the primary international, intergovernmental forum for negotiating the global response to climate change.

In Chapter 19: From Sex Education to Sexuality Education of Space Is No Longer the Final Frontier—Reality Is, I discuss Goal 3 in depth:

Goal 3 is of particular interest to this chapter, especially section 3.7:

By 2030, ensure universal access to sexual and reproductive health-care services, including for family planning, information and education, and the integration of reproductive health into national strategies and programs.

What, exactly, is the “information and education” young children will receive? Parents around the world will be shocked to learn what the United Nations and its specialty agencies consider appropriate sexual and reproductive information and education….

First, sex education is no longer just about human reproduction. The new label, Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE), is far more expansive and is defined on the Health and Education[v] section of the UNESCO website:

“Sexuality” is defined as “a core dimension of being human which includes: the understanding of, and relationship to, the human body; emotional attachment and love; sex; gender; gender identity; sexual orientation; sexual intimacy; pleasure and reproduction. Sexuality is complex and includes biological, social, psychological, spiritual, religious, political, legal, historic, ethical and cultural dimensions that evolve over a lifespan.” (International Technical Guidance on Sexuality Education, p. 17)

Key values of CSE include:

Transformative: CSE impacts whole cultures and communities, not simply individual learners. It can contribute to the development of a fair and compassionate society by empowering individuals and communities, promoting critical thinking skills and strengthening young people’s sense of citizenship. It empowers young people to take responsibility for their own decisions and behaviours, and how they may affect others. It builds the skills and attitudes that enable young people to treat others with respect, acceptance, tolerance and empathy, regardless of their ethnicity, race, social, economic or immigration status, religion, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or sex characteristics.

In the same way that the 17 Goals sound great but in reality, are catastrophic, the words sexuality and transformative are equally destructive, particularly in the context of the foundational assumption in CSE that schools are the appropriate place for sexuality education, not the home:

CSE is weaponized education on a global level. Its universal curriculum is designed to collapse existing cultures into a singular culture of the planetary Unistate and indoctrinate students with politicized education according to Marxist collectivist dogma. CSE grooms the children of the world to unite and become activists in preparation for global citizenship in the Unistate.

The deceitful manipulation of language is a weapon of war designed to dupe parents into accepting Comprehensive Sexuality Education as equivalent to the familiar and accepted Sex Education. There is no equivalence. Comprehensive Sexuality Education is a colossal deception that presents lessons in pornography as equal to lessons in human reproduction.

The globalist predators, many funded through the corruption of USAID, are advancing sexual terrorism in the United States in their attempt to legalize pedophilia––the soul murder of your children––to destroy their selfness and groom them for life in the totalitarian globalist Unistate.

Billionaire George Soros and his Open Societies Foundations (OSF) support transnational governance in the globalist Unistate. Soros-funded groups like Indivisible and MoveOn advocate the overthrow of the current world order of sovereign nation states, specifically targeting the United States under MAGA President Donald Trump. OSF is a grantmaking network of organizations dedicated to establishing “open” societies and limiting authoritarian regimes. Open Society Foundations website describes itself and its mission in glowing terms. Don’t be fooled by the lofty language––the goal of the globalist enterprise is the collapse of the United States from within:

The Open Society Foundations, founded by George Soros, are the world’s largest private funder of independent groups working for rights, equity, and justice.

The Open Society Foundations champion the search for bold, democratic solutions to our urgent, common challenges that advance rights, equity, and justice.

We do this by supporting a wide array of independent voices and organizations around the world that provide a creative and dynamic link between the governing and the governed.

Our approach seeks to counter the narrow pursuit of political self-interest and short-term opportunism—in pursuit of a sustainable future for people and planet that leaves no one behind.

In classic Orwellian word perversion, Soros’s “open” societies focus on rights, equity, and justice” limiting authoritarian regimes.” Like the UN 17 Sustainable Goals, the words sound great––until you realize the words rights, equity, and justice are tag lines for Marxist Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI)––the policies and programs designed to collapse Americanism into socialism, then communism, and ultimately feudalism in the dystopian globalist Unistate. Radical gender ideology is a core component of the radical leftist ideology advanced by George Soros, his Open Society Foundations, and its NGOs funded by USAID in order to implement the Marxist indoctrination and sexual terrorism that most definitely harmed the national interest!

The legalization of pedophilia is the medium and the message for total societal collapse––the endgame of the sexualization of children. It is the politics of pedophilia.

A Heartfelt Ode to American Freedom from an Iranian Immigrant thumbnail

A Heartfelt Ode to American Freedom from an Iranian Immigrant

/in , , /by

By Amil Imani

On this radiant Fourth of July, 2025, as I stand under the vast American sky, my heart swells with gratitude for the 249th anniversary of this nation’s independence. For someone like me, who left oppression in Iran decades ago, this day is more than a celebration of America’s birth. It’s also a personal testament to the promise of liberty, a beacon that called me to these shores. Yet, as I share this reflection, I invite every reader, whether born here or drawn here by hope, to feel the universal pulse of freedom that binds us all.

The Declaration of Independence, signed in 1776, is a sacred text to me. Its words, preserved in the National Archives, echo the dreams I carried when I left behind a land where dissent was silenced: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.” As a young exile, I clung to that promise, finding in America a place where my voice could finally breathe. The courage of Jefferson, Adams, and Franklin wasn’t just a historical act; it was a lifeline for someone like me, yearning for a home where ideas could flourish.

The Revolution that gave birth to this nation resonates deeply. I think of the soldiers at Valley Forge, shivering through winter, their resolve unyielding. Historian Gordon S. Wood calls the Revolution a radical redefinition of society, where ordinary people reshaped what it meant to be free. In my early days here, working late nights, I felt that same grit in the stories of immigrants and locals alike, each of us chasing a piece of that revolutionary dream. Freedom, I learned, is not a gift. Rather, it’s a fire kindled by sacrifice.

This Independence Day, I honor not only the founders but every person who has fought to fulfill America’s promise. From abolitionists fighting slavery to civil rights marchers, their struggles reflect my quiet battles to belong. I remember my first vote in America, my hand trembling as I marked the ballot, which was a right I never had in Iran. That moment, like this holiday, belongs to all who cherish the chance to shape their destiny.

America’s strength lies in its many differing voices. As someone who once felt like an outsider, I’ve found home in the laughter of neighbors at block parties and in the kindness of strangers who became friends. Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address rightly summed America up as an extraordinary nation “conceived in Liberty.”

This year, even as we face division and uncertainty, I see in Americans the same longing for liberty in a healthy society that brought me here. We are bound by our shared love for this land of second chances.

The fireworks tonight, which are an honored tradition first observed on July 4, 1777, are more than a spectacle; they’re a symbol of hope’s explosion. For me, each burst recalls the moment I stepped off a plane, heart racing, knowing I was free. That spark lives in every reader who has ever dreamed of a better tomorrow, whether escaping tyranny or simply seeking a fair shot.

But this day also reminds us that freedom comes with challenges. Unless people engage with our government by learning, voting, and volunteering, we will lose it. I think of the late-night conversations with my American-born children, teaching them to question, to vote, to care. We all share this duty, to nurture the liberty that unites us.

As I watch the stars and stripes wave today, I feel the weight of my journey from exile to citizen, but also the lightness of belonging. America is not perfect, but its beauty lies in its striving to be a shining light to the world. On this Independence Day, when we gather around barbecues, flags, and fireworks, let us recommit to a nation where every dream has room to grow. For me, for you, for all of us, this is our home, our hope, our freedom.

Happy Independence Day, America. May we forever hold high the torch of liberty, lighting the way for all who seek it.

What’s Left for The Doomers and Gloomers?

/in , , , /by

By Kenneth R. Timmerman

Democrats have been having a tough couple of weeks, as Donald Trump goes from success to success.

From ending Iran’s nuclear weapons program to multiple victories at the Supreme Court, great economic reports, and a rip-roaring stock market, Trump just capped a two-week victory streak by signing the Big Beautiful Bill into law, as promised, on July 4.

It was a deadline many members of his own party feared they would not be able to make just a few weeks ago. And yet, here we are.

As the New York Post headlined it, “Tired of Winning yet?”

But one victory continues to elude the president – ending the war in Ukraine — and he made it clear he finds it frustrating.

After an hour-long phone call with Putin yesterday, Trump reported that he had made “no progress” on getting the Russian president to agree to a ceasefire.

Instead, Putin just hammered away at his talking points and told Trump he remained committed to achieving his goals in the “special military operation,” which means annexing roughly one-third of the country, including parts of it that Russian troops have not yet conquered!

To underscore his determination, Putin unleashed a barrage of drones, ballistic and cruise missiles on Kiev and other population centers overnight that Zelenskyy said was one of the most intense of the entire war.

It’s hard to keep these two hellhounds from killing each other, even with the best of intentions.

In the world according to Trump, wars are to be ended by decisive action and deal-making. But when one of the belligerents is a nuclear-armed super-power and the other has vast international backing, the United States has little leverage.

If Trump really wants to end the war, he will need to put the type of pressure on Putin he talked about during the campaign — ending Russian oil sales, and cutting Russia off definitely from the international financial system.

But Trump also knows that such measures could backfire, forcing Russia into an even tighter alliance with Communist China, for example, or encouraging Russia, China, Iran, and others to adopt a new gold-backed currency.

Having turned the Iranian regime’s nuclear aspirations into so much railway ballast, the president appears to have washed his hands of Iran. Unlike many of his predecessors, this president has no appetite for regime change. So the Iranian people are on their own.

There were reports this week that after declaring a victory of historic proportions against Israel and the United States, Ayatollah Khamenei has unleashed his thugs to examine the cellphones of ordinary citizens on the streets.

If they find anti-regime propaganda — or even just mockery — they whisk the culprit away, never to be seen again. Many Iranians have now taken to leaving their cellphones behind when they leave home. Now there’s progress for you!

I discuss all of this on this week’s Prophecy Today Weekend. As always, you can listen live at 1 PM on Saturday on 104.9 FM or 550 AM in the Jacksonville, Florida, area, or by using the Jacksonville Way Radio app.

Happy 4th of July! I will be celebrating at my small piece of liberated territory in the south of France.

Yours in freedom.

Major Life Questions — Part 2

/in , , , /by

By John Droz, Jr.

Do we spend enough time to give these sufficient thought? 

This is a follow-up to Part 1. I’ll start out by repeating the beginning of that piece…

Due to incessant bombardment of information, plus our being fully immersed in everyday concerns, we rarely step back to see things in perspective. Please give each of these some serious consideration:

  1. Would you like to be a happier person?
  2. Would you like to be a healthier person?
  3. Would you like to be a more financially successful person?
  4. Would you like to have better relationships?
  5. Would you like to feel more fulfilled?
  6. Would you like to better manage your time?
  7. Would you like to have more satisfying employment?
  8. Would you like to increase your chances of saving your soul?

What if there was ONE simple, free solution to bringing about ALL of these?!!

The Bottom Line —

Attentive readers will deduce that what can provide ALL of these things, is being a Critical Thinker!

Some Liberals Would Apparently Rather Protest Trump Than Celebrate America On July 4 thumbnail

Some Liberals Would Apparently Rather Protest Trump Than Celebrate America On July 4

/in , , /by

By The Daily Caller

Left-wing organizations, including the Women’s March, Indivisible, and the 50501 Movement, are preparing to “Free America” over Independence Day weekend by organizing nationwide anti-Trump protests.

The “Free America Weekend” protests will “Free America from arbitrary firings and a flood of unlawful orders,” according to the Women’s March website. The organization plans to utilize “rallies, marches, block parties, banner drops, street parades, art builds, backyard BBQs, dance protests, and more” in order to “free America from the grip of hate and the politics of fear,” its website states.

The Women’s March announced in an X post on June 27  that “protest is the patriotic way to spend the 4th of July,” and encouraged people to join and “protect democracy with joyful resistance.” Over 250 “Free America” protests are scheduled for July 4 on the Women’s March website.

Protest is the patriotic way to spend the 4th of July; it’s in the heart of Independence Day and paves our path forward!

If you’re hosting a block party or a BBQ this 4th of July, help us protect democracy with joyful resistance! Join #FreeAmericaWeekend:https://t.co/MNOK4vS6Xy pic.twitter.com/0xBJE0LDjE

— Women’s March (@womensmarch) June 28, 2025

Other left-wing organizations have also planned July 4 events, including a “No Kings 2.0” protest backed by the left-wing group Indivisible. The group touted “INDEPENDENCE WITHOUT TYRANNY” in its event announcement, and claimed that the protest “isn’t about left vs. right,” it’s instead “the people vs. power unchecked.”

Indivisible’s announcement said that “No Kings 2.0” will protest “authoritarianism, corrupt leadership, racism, xenophobia, and injustice,” and “leaders above the law.”

Another July 4 event, organized in Florida by United+ and  Democratic Progressive Caucus, Inc., is a Twilight March and Candlelight Vigil to Mar-a-Lago, to “protest against Trump’s insane, cruel, kakistocracy and sadism (T.I.C.K.S.), and the outrageous and illegal behavior of his current Administration,” with “famed BABY TRUMP BALLOON from London.”

These protests follow other leftist-funded anti-Trump protests of 2025 including the “No Kings” protests on Flag Day, anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) riots in Los Angeles throughout June and “Hands Off 2025” demonstrations against Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

Recent anti-Trump protests have primarily been organized by the 50501 Movement, or the “50 states, 50 protests, one day” movement, according to Newsweek. The group calls itself a grassroots movement protesting Trump policies and executive orders, according to its website.

Trump Administration Gets High Marks for Middle East Actions, But Gaps in Understanding Remain thumbnail

Trump Administration Gets High Marks for Middle East Actions, But Gaps in Understanding Remain

/in , , /by

By Clare M. Lopez

In the wake of events in the Middle East these last couple of weeks — Israel’s Operation Rising Lion and the U.S.’s Operation Midnight Hammer — this month’s newsletter will focus on the Trump administration’s perspective, role, decisions, and actions there. Some have been amazing and even spectacular, but others give reason for some pause, at least at this juncture. More to come, for sure!

“Top Middle East, Israel and Iran officials pushed out of NSC” by Marc Rod, Emily Jacobs at Jewish Insider, May 25, 2025

  • It is concerning to see top National Security Council officials who were charged with responsibility for Middle East, Iran, and Israel issues dismissed from those positions in late May 2025.

“22-Year-Old Leading Terrorism Prevention Center at DHS” by Yasmeen Hamadeh at the Daily Beast, June 5, 2025

  • This recent college graduate with zero foreign affairs, Middle East, or terrorism expertise, has been appointed to head the DHS Center for Prevention Programs and Partnerships, which is mainly concerned with terrorism prevention nationwide. He’d worked on President Trump’s 2024 election campaign previously.

“Qatari prime minister secured Iran’s agreement to US ceasefire proposal after call with Trump, official says” at Reuters, June 23, 2025

“Trump says he doesn’t want a regime change in Iran: ‘Chaos’” by Diana Glebova at the New York Post, June 24, 2025

  • President Trump understandably wants to see things in the Middle East calm down. But misjudging the apocalyptic eschatology of the Iranian regime leadership could lead to U.S. policy decisions that fail to anticipate how deeply committed Tehran is to restoring its nuclear weapons program and continuing its quest to destroy the Jewish State of Israel and the U.S. as well. His reluctance to support the Iranian people’s quest for freedom from an oppressive terrorist regime also consigns them to a brutal crackdown, now happening across Iran.

“Iran Launches Sweeping Crackdown: Hundreds Detained, Executions Underway” at Center for Human Rights in Iran, June 26, 2025

“Trump offers Iran $30B for nuclear deal” by Miri Weissman at Israel Hayom, June 27, 2025

  • Even as the Iranian regime doubles down on its refusal to give up domestic nuclear enrichment and withdraws from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and all cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), President Trump and his envoy Steve Witkoff continue trying to persuade a regime fixated on Armageddon to usher in the End Times to instead discuss economic prosperity for the Iranian people.

“Trump declares China can purchase Iranian oil as market signals cautious optimism” by Anders Hagstrom at Fox Business, June 24, 2025 

  • Following on an Israel-Iran ceasefire brokered by President Trump with mediation from Qatar, Trump announced in a social media post that China would continue purchasing oil from Iran. The announcement may calm global oil markets, but in so doing also signals White House willingness to acknowledge, if not specifically allow, that funding will continue to flow into Iranian regime coffers.

Donald J. Trump, @realDonald Trump at Truth Social, June 27, 2025: 

  • “Why would the so-called “Supreme Leader,” Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, of the war torn Country of Iran, say so blatantly and foolishly that he won the War with Israel, when he knows his statement is a lie, it is not so. As a man of great faith, he is not supposed to lie. His Country was decimated, his three evil Nuclear Sites were OBLITERATED, and I knew EXACTLY where he was sheltered, and would not let Israel, or the U.S. Armed Forces, by far the Greatest and Most Powerful in the World, terminate his life. I SAVED HIM FROM A VERY UGLY AND IGNOMINIOUS DEATH, and he does not have to say, “THANK YOU, PRESIDENT TRUMP!” In fact, in the final act of the War, I demanded that Israel bring back a very large group of planes, which were heading directly to Tehran, looking for a big day, perhaps the final knockout! Tremendous damage would have ensued, and many Iranians would have been killed. It was going to be the biggest attack of the War, by far. During the last few days, I was working on the possible removal of sanctions, and other things, which would have given a much better chance to Iran at a full, fast, and complete recovery – The sanctions are BITING! But no, instead I get hit with a statement of anger, hatred, and disgust, and immediately dropped all work on sanction relief, and more. Iran has to get back into the World Order flow, or things will only get worse for them. They are always so angry, hostile, and unhappy, and look at what it has gotten them – A burned out, blown up Country, with no future, a decimated Military, a horrible Economy, and DEATH all around them. They have no hope, and it will only get worse! I wish the leadership of Iran would realize that you often get more with HONEY than you do with VINEGAR. PEACE!!!”
  • Concern with this post from President Trump centers on what seems to be his lack of understanding about Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei and his deeply-held belief in the Islamic Shi’ite eschatology of the Twelfth Imam. [Editor’s Note: The Twelfth Imam will emerge at the end of time to establish peace and redeem Islam, per Wikipedia.]  As well, President Trump seems not to know that faithful Muslims are obligated under Islamic Law to lie to infidels. These gaps in his understanding about intent and motivations of the Tehran regime could lead to errors in U.S. decision-making.

Yeah…Let’s Talk about “Proportionality” thumbnail

Yeah…Let’s Talk about “Proportionality”

/in , , , /by

By Joan Swirsky

Not long ago, I ran into a long-lost acquaintance who always assumed—always incorrectly—that I was simpatico with her leftist leanings. Maybe it was my long hair or dangling earrings or that I liked to listen to Joe Cocker.

I remembered that she always appeared distressed, not because of a cancer diagnosis or trouble with her two children or a problem in her marriage or with her job as private secretary to a malpractice lawyer, but because of one or another of the endless planet-killing problems that occupy the daily bad thoughts and nightly nightmares of liberals.

Her list was long, and always growing—saving the whales, redistributing income, ending poverty, air pollution, land pollution, the colossal hoax of climate change (as explained by the founder of the Weather Channel, John Coleman), human rights, animal rights, women’s rights, gun control, world hunger, universal (free) healthcare, big business and, of course capitalism! Oh, did I omit the U.S. Constitution?!

So, when we ran into each other, I wasn’t surprised that this woman—who probably should have been on antidepressants or antianxiety meds for decades—looked her ole glum self.

“How are you?” I asked, “your kids, your husband, your job, your life?”

“No problems in those departments,” she said. “But look at the world! The news!”

DIDN’T TAKE HER LONG…

“What are you referring to?”, I asked her.

“Oh, the news,” she opined, “I think Netanyahu has ruined Israel!”

“Well, a lot of people don’t like it when Jews fight back,” I said.

“But it’s so disproportionate,” she shot back.

It’s not often that you have a ready answer for people with whom you disagree. Usually, you think of the perfect comeback when you wake up at two in the morning.

But as it happened, I simply had the cold hard facts on my side, so it was almost shooting fish in a barrel to answer this Jew-hating, Israel-loathing liberal.

DO YOU REMEMBER?

My response to her came in a series of questions.

“Do you remember,” I asked her, “when we watched the entire Iraq War—from 2003 to 2011—on TV, for years? And the endless articles and commentaries and news coverage, all day and all night?”

“Of course,” she responded.

“Well, even before that,” I said, “going back to the sixties, do you remember the years-on end coverage of the Vietnam War—from 1964 to 1973—and the morning and afternoon and nightly news coverage and commentaries the impassioned anti-war demonstrations across the country protesting this war?”

“You know I do,” she said. “I was on the frontline of those protests. I was with the so-called traitor Jane Fonda all the way!’

STILL GOING DOWN MEMORY LANE

“How about the Korean War in the 1950s,” I asked her, “which wasn’t covered so extensively on TV—TV was relatively new in that decade––but which a million articles were written about, not to mention the extensive radio commentary?”

“Okay,” she said, “and your point?”

“One more question,” I begged her indulgence. “How about World War11 in the 1940s, when 140,000 died in Hiroshima and 74,000 died in Nagasaki after we bombed them?” And that is not to omit the massive, overwhelming loss of life from that war—70–85 million deaths.

“Stop with the statistics, already!” she blurted out. “What is your point?”

INDEED…THE POINT

What I told my long-lost acquaintance was that in every war I named, in the massive injuries and deaths that resulted from these wars, in the overwhelmingly panoramic and international coverage these wars received on TV and radio, in the literally trillions of words that had been written and spoken in covering all these wars, the word “proportionality” had never been expressed—not in verbal broadcasts, not in writing—NOT ONCE before Jewish warriors fought back against the savages that attacked them on October 7, 2023.

NEVER!

Look it up. Do your own research.

THE P WORD

“Why is that?” I asked her.

As her eyes widened and she searched for words, I volunteered my own theory.

“I’ll tell you why,” I said. “Because the people who chant ‘proportionality’ hate Jews and detest Israel, but they try to cloak their long-held hatred in a transparent attempt to sound virtuous and caring for…. whom?

“Is it for the Hamas Arab rapists who were so violent that they broke the pelvic bones of their victims and then took babies out of their arms and put them in ovens to bake to death? Who photographed their sadistic violence and then showed it to their proud families as they passed out candy to celebrate?”

“Let’s talk about proportionality,” I went on. “Let’s say that 250 Israeli women were raped.  Are you suggesting that the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) tell their troops that, yes, you have our full permission to rape 250 Arab women. But NOT 251!”

I stopped talking as I witnessed a rare case of muteness from Ms. Proportionality.

Of course, I knew that neither facts nor statistics would change her hermetically sealed mind, but there was pleasure in this brief moment anyway.

UNDERSTANDING WAR

“But war is always wrong,” she said. “There’s no reason we can’t learn to get along.”

Aha, the Rodney King mantra!

“Well, Israel has tried to get along for 46 years,” I said. “Are you suggesting that they go for 47?”

Before I gave up, I explained to this colossally clueless woman that war has nothing to do with proportionality. That war has everything to do with winning!

You attack me…I fight back. Not to deflect your attack. Not to intimidate you. Not to indulge in a body count to make sure it’s “fair” or “equal” or not “humiliating.”

It’s to destroy you and to make sure that you never ever ever come after me again with the intention of annihilating me and my family and my country.

“Capeesh?” I asked her.

“To be honest,” she responded, “I never understood why Jane Fonda was such a pariah. She was just following her conscience.”

That’s when I clearly understood why God coined the word “hopeless.”

Operation Midnight Hammer’s Lesson for Rogue States thumbnail

Operation Midnight Hammer’s Lesson for Rogue States

/in , , , /by

By Jihad Watch

The American attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities will have consequences for rogue states elsewhere. They have now been put on notice that if they try to acquire a nuclear bomb, they should expect to have their program destroyed by the Americans. More on this salutary lesson can be found here: “Bigger Than Just Iran,” by Douglas J. Feith and Dore Feith, Washington Free Beacon, June 28, 2025:

The danger of nuclear war in the world just diminished drastically. Americans are safer now than they were. America has a vital interest in preventing the spread of nuclear weapons. By striking Iran, President Trump showed the resolve to use force to uphold that interest. The strategic significance of the blow extends far beyond Iran.

This was the first time the United States used a military attack to stop a country from acquiring a nuclear bomb. In the past, it had opposed nuclear proliferation through diplomatic pressure, economic sanctions, and multilateral agreements. Those means have their merits but also their limitations. To be effective against rogue regimes, they have to be backed by power. President Trump has now made clear that America has that power and will use it to serve its nonproliferation purposes. Many U.S. presidents threatened military force to stop the spread of nuclear weapons, but until now those threats were of doubtful credibility.

This was not, however, the first time Israel used its military against an enemy’s nuclear program. The history is noteworthy. Israel sent its air force to hit Iraq’s Osirak reactor in 1981 and to hit Syria’s nuclear facility in 2007. No major retaliation, let alone a new war, resulted, and neither Iraq nor Syria rebuilt the damaged facilities. Both decided it was not worthwhile, given Israel’s determination to prevent any such program from succeeding.

We tend to forget the international outrage elicited by the IDF’s bombing of both the Osirak reactor in 1981 and of the Syrian nuclear facility at Al-Kabir 2007, but no one, nowadays, thinks either of those attacks was anything other than exactly the right move, that made the world safer.

The United States has demonstrated both the will, and the ability, to wreak destruction on a very elaborate nuclear program, with many components across the vast land of Iran, and some of them in the deep-delved earth — the uranium enrichment facility at Fordow, for example, sits under 300 feet of granite. Yet the Americans managed, using a dozen 30,000-pound bombs, the “bunker busters” that only the American military possesses, to cause “severe damage” and perhaps — the final judgement has not yet been made — to “totally obliterate” it.

By wreaking so much damage on Iran’s nuclear program, from which it will not soon recover — and if it does continue such work, President Trump has promised another attack will take care of that one, and the one after as well — the Americans have shown that they will continue to serve as the chief enforcers of non-proliferation in the world. Rogue states will not now be willing to spend hundreds of billions of dollars on a nuclear program that will almost certainly be destroyed in time by the most powerful army in the world. The Americans have made not just themselves, and the Israelis, but the entire world much safer because of Operation Midnight Hammer.

Incompetence Kills Great Ideas Enabling Chaos and Wars thumbnail

Incompetence Kills Great Ideas Enabling Chaos and Wars

/in , , , , /by

By Simona Pipko

“It’s time to lift the veil on incompetence “ — Financial Times

The discussion on “incompetence” has begun in the UK.  Simon Wren-Lewis has written an article: Why are we governed by incompetents? The New Statesman. “The ultimate check on incompetence should be democracy itself: incompetent politicians are thrown out.” I agree with the author. Incompetence has no specific race, religious or ethnicity—it is a unifying product of human illiteracy. Incompetence creates chaos and wars; and that exact condition Donald J. Trump inherited after the defeat of the Dems’ Biden administration on the 5 November 2025.

As a former Soviet defense attorney, I have been writing about the ideology and system of Soviet Socialism warning about the Russian Intel for years. Socialist Charlatans have been fighting the American political system for decades. Alas, people don’t know the Italian world Charlatans, which means Con men or women—criminals. They don’t like America and fight us in all aspects of our lives. The 12-day war drives the FBI to look for Iran’s nationalities sleeper cells, which is only part of the problem. The issue of Sleeper Cells is more complex and dangerous considering the history of infiltration policy by Russian Intel Apparatus during 80 years in the 20th century. The result we are confronting now—a radical anti-Semite, Soviet Socialist Mamdani can become the Mayor of New York City…

Today, the House committee investigates the Biden cover-up to find out who was running the country for four years. The investigation consists of two major tracks: Biden’s mental state and the people who used autopen usurping the President’ power. Only a Concilium of psychiatrists can answer the question on Biden’s state of mind during 2019-2024 by watching the sets of videos of his gaffs, the scenes of his confusions and incoherence in his speaking in four those years. I have already expressed my opinion on the second question in my three columns written in August 2021—the Putin KGB’s Mafia/Army infiltrated the WH. My other column written two years ago will confirm my opinion. Please, read it:

Who is Dr. Jill Biden?

September 12, 2023 by Simona Pipko

Trumpet Brief, published a column titled Who is Running the Show? on September 6, 2023. My preceding column What the Republicans don’t know they need for the 2024 Election, with the same idea of question, had been published September 2, 2023. The difference is that I put the question at the end of the column: What do you think, who is running Biden’s team of Socialist Mafia? In fact, I agree with all analyses in the Trumpet Brief, concerning Obamas. Nevertheless, based on my knowledge of Russian history, Intel, and especially the KGB’s Mafia/Army (my term), I am going to give you my personal version and the answer to the question.

So, what do you think, of who is running Biden’s team of the Evil Socialist Mafia? Socialist Mafia is a political term, it means the fix is in since 2015, the door to the White House is opened by Hunter’s shady dealings with the wife of the Mayor of Moscow. Remember, the overwhelming power of the KGB over all people in high positions in Russia and this Hunter’s linking in Russia means also a connection with Vladimir Putin. The KGB’s Mafia/Army and Vladimir Putin are inseparable and Putin is a devoted disciple of the Stalin/Andropov legacy. This historical line of connections plays an exclusively important role in world politics today—it will explain the Russian policy of “Disinformation”—covering up the TRUTH.

I have recognized the Stalin/Andropov legacy in 2021, insisting on my opinion that the Afghanistan surrender had been designed by Putin and executed by Biden’s White House. I am still sure of that, because I knew the strategy and tactics of the Stalin/Andropov legacy, and I recognized them immediately—I know the KGB’s Mafia/Army tactics and handwriting. Today I have additional evidence of my rightness. The 13 American marines had been killed by the ISIS-K suicide bomber. For your information the Stalin/Andropov legacy had recruited the leadership of Taliban in 1979 and using them today, second, Stalin married the Communist Ideology with Islam and the ISIS movement was created and supervised by the KGB’s Mafia/Army. Read my columns for free and learn about Russia’s never-ending attacks of Western civilization.

When you are familiar with the name Yuri Andropov the KGB Chairman 1967-1982, you also should know that he was the man who designed a simultaneous infiltration into the American Media and American Security Apparatus by the KGB’s Mafia/Aemy. I had this information from my Law School friends working with Andropov. I have served as a defense attorney for 25 years within the legal community of Russia. Only now we can move to America.

It is one thing to infiltrate America, but to infiltrate the White House is a very unthinkable task or agenda, but the KGB’s Mafia/Army had it and was working to find a woman able to do that. Forty-five years ago, Jill Stevenson divorced her husband. The KGB had confidence in her ability, and forty-three years ago a car accident killed Biden’s first wife. Knowing the KGB’s Mafia/Army tactics, I believe it wasn’t a car accident, but assassination to give Jill the opportunity to marry Joe Biden. Knowing that I will write a column about Jill Biden, I sent an email to Jim Jordan to request a police protocol of the mentioned car accident a year ago. We have already corresponded for many years. I don’t know whether he has the needed police protocol for a car accident or not.

Today is September 11, 2023 and our country commemorated 22 years since the tragedy. It is unthinkable, but the nation still doesn’t know that the crime of the 9/11 attacks had been designed and supervised by Russia. I have been writing and showing the ominous face of Russia for forty-two years, calling it the new “Axis of Evil”—North Korea, China, Iran, and Syria under the Russian umbrella. For several years I have been writing about Mexican Cartels, which are in fact, the Russian Cartels established by Stalin in the 20th century and destroying our country from within since. Those Cartels are working to bankrupt capitalism. There are Medical Russian Cartels as well to produce false Covid-19 results and much more…

However, I can’t break through the wall of mistrust and ignorance of reality pertaining to Russia. America doesn’t know Russia and all our troubles are derived from this ignorance: the Dems gun grab, raising crime, inflation, immigration, indoctrination of our children, overwhelming corruption of Biden’s team, and so on. Finally, I found the column, which might have convinced you of my truthfulness. The one page of the column is so craftily and skillfully designed and covers so many current issues that I can’t limit myself by taking only a few quotations from it. The masterpiece should be read as a whole. I am asking Unmuzzled News to forgive me. However, I have no alternative but to publish the entire column. Here it is:

Jill Biden’s ex-husband made one startling revelation about the Biden Crime Family allegations

Joe Biden is not out of the woods when it comes to corruption.

Hunter Biden’s botched plea deal opened up another can of worms.

And now Jill Biden’s ex-husband has just made one startling revelation about the Biden Crime Family allegations.

Five years after the tragic death of his wife and daughter in a car accident, Joe Biden married his current wife, Jill.

Bill Stevenson, Jill Biden’s ex-husband, claimed that Jill met Joe while they were still married, not on a blind date as the Bidens tell it.

Stevenson also claimed that he was targeted by the “Biden Crime Family” back in the day.

Stevenson, who was married to the First Lady from 1970 to 1975, claimed that Joe’s brother Frank strong-armed him into giving Jill their house in divorce proceedings.

Dr. Jill Biden’s divorce from her ex-husband sounds like it got really nasty

He told Newsmax, “Frankie Biden of the Biden Crime Family comes up to me and he goes, ‘Give her the house or you’re going to have serious problems… I looked at Frankie and I said, ‘Are you threatening me?’ And needless to say, about two months later, my brother and I were indicted for that tax charge for $8,200.”

Asked if he believed Joe Biden was behind the sudden tax charge, Stevenson said, “I not only think it, but I know it… I was on the wrong side of them and they have literally come after me for 35 years in a row.”

Stevenson, a Donald Trump supporter, believes that he was targeted the same way Trump has been by the DOJ and the media.

Jill Biden ex’s interview put jaws on the floor with startling allegations about the Biden family’s tactics during split

He continued, “It’s hard to believe what they’re doing to President Trump… I can’t let them do this to a president I love and respect… This is the only reason I’ve come forward. It’s like I said, nothing about the divorce, no bitterness, but Jimmy, Frankie, and President Biden are very dangerous, and it’s tragic. I can’t let them do what they did to me to President Trump. I can’t do it.”

Stevenson’s tax charge vis-à-vis Hunter Biden’s tax charge is a clear example of the two-tiered justice system that exists.

Friends of the D.C. Swamp are protected, and enemies are punished.

Stevenson was hit with felonies while Hunter Biden’s tax charge ran into the millions, and he was offered a misdemeanor plea deal.

The Biden Crime Family was hoping Hunter’s exploits would be swept under the rug, but that has not panned out.

Stay tuned to Unmuzzled News for any updates to this ongoing story.”

The conclusion is stunning and very gloomy: Russian Intel has been on American soil since 1970s and that fact is missing by the American FBI and CIA. Both still don’t know the KGB’s Mafia/Army and allow it to run the White House. I hope that with the help of Bill Stevenson I answered the question of who Dr. Jill Biden is. The same game has been used in Ukraine to cover up the Dem’s long-term collusion with the Russian Intel. Ukraine is the operation “Disinformation” used by the Putin/Biden conspiracy, to cover up the truth.

Read my columns and learn about Russia and its KGB’s Mafia/Army—the Evil Doer. Without this information we can lose the American Constitutional Republic designed and left to us by our Founding Fathers.
