Christmas Should Be More Commercial
It is time to take the Christ out of Christmas, and turn the holiday into a guiltlessly egoistic, pro-reason, this-worldly, commercial celebration.

Bye, Biden
Bye, then: In a primetime address, President Joe Biden bid goodbye to the nation. On the one hand, he promised that eventually, Americans would realize that his presidency was actually super duper great: “It will take time to feel the full impact of all we’ve done together,” the president said. “But the seeds are planted, and they’ll grow, and they’ll bloom for decades to come.” On the other hand, he also warned that things were about to get […]

America and the British Empire
My big-picture outlook is that America with its quasi world empire has been following in the footsteps of the warmongering British Empire. That road is leading to America’s premature downfall. I suppose others have noticed the striking similarity between the two “Anglo-Saxon” great powers in their approach to the outside world. On the American side, some have pointed to the Great War and Woodrow Wilson as pivotal. I have suggested that the Spanish American war (1898) was the […]

Welcome to the External Revenue Service
Trump wants to create an External Revenue Service to collect his increased tariffs. I thought he was going to cut agencies, not add new ones? Importers will be harassed by the ERS to no end to make sure every penny is collected. An External Revenue Service to collect tariffs? Sounds like something Lincoln would do. The post Welcome to the External Revenue Service appeared first on LewRockwell.

The Banking Surveillance Industrial Complex
A bombshell report was released in December of 2024 by the House Judiciary Committee, revealing that a massive and constitutionally dubious surveillance operation has been underway by the federal government against countless Americans. Titled, “How the Federal Government Weaponized the Bank Secrecy Act to Spy on Americans,” its key findings demonstrate that the FBI and the Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) have been working together to undermine the 4th Amendment and conduct widespread warrantless surveillance on […]
