The Biden-Harris World Is Afire
A confused but also encouraged world of enemies watches the listless United States and wonders whether to try something stupid.

Is the Western World Still Free?
A shift in values has led to a rise in censorship in the West. As these new values gain prominence, the internet’s early, libertarian ethos has mostly faded.
Kamala Is Cooked
Kamala has not reinvented herself. She’s still the same politician who had to bow out of the 2020 Democratic Primaries in December of 2019 because she was polling in the low single digits.

Crazy Joe Biden
Pay no attention to the man in the basement, the incompetent figurehead with an American flag pin. Forget about trying to find where Biden is. Focus instead on who speaks and acts for him, because these people—the aides, the hacks, the yes-men —are a threat to democracy.
Trump and the Fate of Western Civilization
Trump represents a movement. It is bigger than him, and it is bigger than MAGA.
The Power of Courage
Inches from death, Trump’s mind remained on his mission, and he was conscious of the way the images of him would affect the campaign. This kind of physical courage cannot be faked.

The more violent campuses and streets become, the more clueless the mobs seem about the cascading public antipathy to what they do and what they represent.
Biden and the Left Demonize Trump Supporters
Biden’s talk of Our Democracy™ is a smokescreen. He and the broader left have no faith in the electorate, voting, or majority rule, as well as absolute hatred for at least a plurality of voters.
The Left Knows Leftism Doesn’t Work
If Biden and his handlers have taught us anything, human nature cannot be fooled, and the current four-year experiment will have to end before it ends us—and soon.
The Myth That Biden Had Nothing to Do with the Prosecutions of Trump
It is past time for the media and Democrats to drop the ruse of Biden’s “neutrality and admit that they are terrified of the will of the people in November and so are conniving to silence them.
