For Americans of a certain vintage and heritage (i.e., over age 50 or maybe 60, and steeped in the Christian faith), the last five+ years of the exposure of the US federal government’s corruption–the scale, sophistication and moral depravity of all of it–is unsettling, disillusioning, and truly astonishing. But on
“Socialism is the philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy…its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.” Winston Churchill Socialism never works, because it denies individual identity, aspiration, motivation, and the rightness of knowing, pursuing and rewarding excellence. That’s why there is never any
America is on the verge of being lost to history because we have a ruling class of fundamentally unserious people. The utterly ridiculous spin surrounding Biden’s classified documents scandal–as if it were nothing more serious than good ole Joe misplacing his glasses–is a perfect illustration of an unserious people acting
Hello My Very Fine Friends, A few evenings ago I spoke at an event in North Texas. The event hosts gave me as a thank-you gift the extraordinary book “The American Gulag Chronicles: Letters from Prison,” which is a compilation of letters written from the cells of Americans who are being held prisoner
We’ve been fans of the Conservative Treehouse for quite awhile. ‘Sundance‘ is an example of how extraordinary many otherwise ‘ordinary’ Americans really are. He is savvy, insightful and discerning, and he has his finger on the pulse of ordinary Americans. We were drawn to his post below because we share
It is astonishing and outrageous that America’s legacy media simply refuse to cover the imminent global danger represented by the CCP’s apparent shortening fuse for blockading and taking over Taiwan. The CCP has apparently bought off all such media, similar to the way they have bought off the US Presidency
Hello My Very Fine Friends, The drawn out fight this past week in Washington over who would next serve as Speaker of the House for the upcoming 118th Congress paralleled the broader battle ongoing in politics all over America, at least on the conservative side of the aisle. The battle in Congress was a microcosm of the larger
The staggering dimensions of what has happened to America in recent years–without even the slightest validation from the hallowed principle of ‘government by the consent of the governed’–are dawning on more and more Americans every day. Victor Davis Hanson is one among many serious thinkers and writers who is making
The full post by Ben Sellers at ZeroHedge has some good links, but let’s cut to the chase with the ten predictions…they seem pretty solid, except for #8, which anticipates the ‘successful’ normalization and mainstreaming of pedophilia by the left. It’s obvious that’s the left’s agenda, but it will not
Sam Faddis is a new friend and fellow thinker, achiever and patriot. We’re often more drawn to more spiritual perspectives on the ongoing turmoil of the world, but his latest post is a reminder that a simple grounding in the common sense of human history ought to wake up even
Brian Joondeph is a frequent contributor to American Thinker. His latest post is about as succinct and potent as anything written as to the utterly false narrative of January 6, 2021 as an ‘insurrection’. Truth is spilling out in bits and pieces, particularly in the Twitter Files releases, and truth
Hello My Very Fine Friends, Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah, my very fine friends. I hope you all can step back from the press of busyness and the worries of life to immerse yourselves in the beauty and importance of Christmas, and in the gratitude for Hanukkah and the divine provision of
