Diversity Insurance

By Daniel Greenfield, Author of Domestic Enemies

Is your city on fire? You needed diversity insurance.

Is your home on fire because your local fire department is run by three lesbians named Kirsten and there’s no water because that department is also being run by a diversity hire? Sorry, maybe you should have bought diversity insurance. The vital infrastructure of yesterday’s cities used to be run by somebody’s brother-in-law while the vital infrastructure of today’s cities is being run by a professional grievance expert with the right combination of skin color, sex and sexual appetites and makes that brother-in-law, who at least managed to marry into the right family, look like a genius. That’s bad news for you. [more...]

Trade Deficit Jumped 7.6% in November... Goods Trade Gap Now $1.08 Trillion, Beating 2023 Levels

By Kenneth Rapoza, Reporter/Columnist for Coalition for a Prosperous America

The goods and services trade deficit rose 7.6% in November to $78.2 billion, a big leap from previous months when the deficit was trailing under the three-month moving average, based on Bureau of Economic Analysis data released this week. Manufactured goods recorded their second biggest monthly deficit this year, hitting $103.3 billion in November. The previous record for the year was set in September at $109 billion. That figure was the biggest monthly gap in two years. The U.S. now has an 11-month goods deficit of $1.08 trillion, which is more than the 12 months deficit of 2023. [more...]

Executive Orders are Blowing Up the Constitution

By Cheryl Chumley, Author of God-Given or Bust

Joe Biden, in his final days of presidency, signed a couple executive orders banning offshore drilling on almost 630 million acres of U.S. property and waters. Donald Trump, in the lead-up to his new term as president, told Republican senators he wants to write, sign and enact 100 executive orders shortly after inauguration. Enough of the executive orders. They’re tearing apart the Constitution. They’re also sidelining Congress and allowing legislators to skirt accountability, even while stripping them of power. Executive orders have been part of America’s governing system from Day One. Even George Washington issued them. But “the form, substance and numbers of presidential orders have varied dramatically in the history of the US presidency,” The American Presidency Project wrote. [more...]

Populist Mandate Brought Second American Revolution

By Scott Powell, Author of Rediscovering America

There is little doubt as we start a new year defined by a popular mandate to be fulfilled on Jan. 20, with the Inauguration of President Donald J. Trump, that we are living in an extraordinary time - in America and globally. The political and cultural mandate of the new Trump administration is nothing short of a rediscovery of what has made America the greatest nation in human history. The vision was cast in the Declaration of Independence in 1776, but it could only begin to be fulfilled after the American Revolution succeeded in the defeat of Great Britain. [more...]

China's Cyber War on the U.S.

By Colonel (Ret.) John Mills, Author of War Against the Deep State

According to FBI Director Wray, China has been placing cyber bombs in our critical infrastructure. Well then, what was the FBI's priority stack of operations?

China has a bigger cyber theft and cyber-attack program than all other nations combined. So, on Day One, January 20, 2025, the priority stack of operations that the FBI has been apportioning resources to under Biden needs to be revealed. How many FBI operations were focused on J6, school board meetings, and right-wing Christian Nationalists? And what role have the Chinese Special Operators being let into the country played? How many of them have taken jobs with telecommunication firms to help the placement of cyber weapons inside American critical infrastructure? We need to replace all untrusted Chinese hardware and software, hold China accountable, and also hold Biden officials accountable. Wray should have resigned years ago if he felt strongly about the Merrick Garland directed priorities for the FBI. [more...]

Why Doesn’t China Have Addiction Problems Like America?

By Dr. Robert Marbut, Producer of Fentanyl Death Incorporated

Despite being the main supplier of America’s fentanyl crisis, China does not have the same addiction problem. I appeared on NewsNation Prime to compare and contrast the robust ways that China addresses addiction with America’s harm reduction policies. I am the producer of the new film, “Fentanyl: Death Incorporated,” now streaming at Salem NOW. To find out more about the film, go to fentanyldeathincorporated.com. [more...]

Critical Race Theory Is an Inversion of History

By Prof. John M. Ellis, Author of A Short History Of Relations Between Peoples

Tribalism and racism were universal until Britons and Americans developed a new way of thinking.

It’s a tribute of sorts to critical race theory’s success that the Trump administration will make its eradication a priority. The Biden administration had quietly implemented policies throughout the federal government based on this theory, and it is being taught in colleges and schools throughout the country. It has overrun much of the corporate world, and it has even secured a place in the training of many professions. The accusations made in closed training sessions are astonishingly venomous: Arrogant white supremacy is ubiquitous; white rage results when that supremacy is challenged; whites hold money and power because they stole it from other races; systemic racism and capitalism keep the injustices going. [more...]

The Systemic Problem of the California Wildfires

By James Hirsen, NY Times Bestselling Author, International Business Attorney, News Analyst & Cultural Commentator

Two prominent leaders have dared to speak bluntly about the contributing causes of the calamity that occurred in Los Angeles: former LA mayoral candidate Rick Caruso and President-elect Donald Trump. Caruso is a former commissioner for the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power. He is also the owner of the Palisades Village Mall, located in the heart of the community that has been decimated by the wildfires. Caruso’s daughter’s home was destroyed in the blaze, and he himself was evacuated from his home. As the flames were breaking out in his beloved neighborhood, he noticed something that defied comprehension. The fire hydrants were devoid of even a drop of water. “There’s no water in the fire hydrants,” Caruso exclaimed, his voice revealing his exasperation. “This is a window into a systemic problem of the city,” he said.
