The Courageous Story of 'The White Rose'

By Patrick Wood

There was a movement in Nazi Germany in 1942 called The White Rose. Its members wrote and distributed leaflets to thousands of students and German households before they were arrested and put on trial. The first leaflet set the tone for the entire resistance movement: Nothing is more shameful to a civilized nation than to allow itself to be "governed" by an irresponsible clique of sovereigns who have given themselves over to dark urges - and that without resisting. In similar fashion, is today's America run by an "irresponsible clique of sovereigns"? Yes! Have our American sovereigns "given themselves over to dark urges"? Yes! Are Americans being censored, cancelled, denied free speech and forced into compliance against their own will and conscience? Yes! The White Rose is speaking to us today. [more...]

Mexico's Dishonest Lawsuit Against American Gun Makers

By Dr. John Lott

Biden keeps telling Americans "(gun makers are) the only outfit that is exempt from being sued." Apparently, someone forgot to tell the Mexican government about that. Last week, they sued several U.S. gun makers, seeking $10 billion in damages. They claim that the companies are "conscious of the fact that their products are trafficked and used in illicit activities against the civilian population and authorities of Mexico." Among those facing the lawsuit are well-known names: Smith & Wesson Brands, Barrett Firearms Manufacturing, Beretta USA, Glock, and Colt. The case was filed by the Brady Campaign, a U.S.-based gun control organization. [more...]

Senate Infrastructure Gets Serious about EV Battery and Rare Earth Supply Chain

By Kenneth Rapoza, Industry Analyst for the Coalition for a Prosperous America

Let’s hope this becomes more action than talk. But by the looks of what is written inside the recently passed $550 billion Senate infrastructure bill, a bipartisan group is getting serious about the EV battery supply chain, and the rare earths that are quickly becoming the must-have resource in a high-tech, post-fossil fuels world. Lithium, nickel, and cobalt are some of the prime materials used in making the new, long-range batteries that power cars. Rare earth minerals like neodymium are used to manufacture navigational equipment on American fighter planes. [more...]

Biden Humiliated by the Taliban

By Steve Turley

Over the last 48 hours, the world has watched Afghanistan fall to Taliban fighters. The Taliban has now effectively taken over a nation that has been occupied by American and NATO forces. New footage has come out from the nation's capital showing people desperately trying to board evacuation flights out of the city as gunfire can be seen in the sky. There are also reports that President Ashraf Ghani has left the country; he is now reportedly in neighboring Tajikistan. The recurring refrain in today's media is astonishment over the sheer rapidity of the Taliban takeover; they swept across the nation and captured every major city and region in a matter of a week! This has been a colossal collapse, made all the more shocking given that the Afghan army was supposedly trained by the world's best military for the past two decades, to the tune of trillions of dollars. [more...]

The Queen of Soul Credits the King of Kings

By James Hirsen

Aretha Franklin is recognized by multiple generations as the "Queen of Soul." Now there’s a biopic that immortalizes her title. Director Liesl Tommy explains that the film begins "with the church and ends with the church." [more...]

Getting Rid of the CDC Would Be a Great Start

By Robert Curry, Author of Reclaiming Common Sense

Putting government experts in charge has been the goal of the Progressives all along. From the beginning, they understood that transforming America into a country ruled by experts would be an enormous undertaking. Consequently, their plan was to do it step by step, progressively. For over a century, the Progressives have been replacing rule by the people through their elected representatives with rule by government experts. They created an ever-expanding administrative state composed of agencies like the CDC, and put credentialed experts in charge. These experts were Progressives who immediately set to work expanding the reach of the agencies they were put in charge of.  This is known as government overreach. Dr. Fauci has demonstrated for all time the costs and folly of allowing ourselves to be ruled by government experts. Our task is simple: eliminate the agencies of the federal government the Progressives have imposed on us since 1913. [more...]
