The Treasury Department's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network sees little difference between cryptocurrency transactions that may be tied to Hamas and banking services for U.S. groups that advocate for religious liberty, immigration restrictions and a "watchful waiting" approach to pediatric gender confusion. That's the impression from FinCEN's email to large banks and financial institutions including Western Union and PayPal, urging them to review a "hate group" report and "hate symbol" database by progressive activists in the context of the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot. The House Judiciary Committee and its Weaponization of the Federal Government published the Jan. 16, 2021 email...

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) is hated by conservatives, but is running a daring and effective ad campaign in which he is targeting conservatives to encourage them to support Republican Steve Garvey in the primary above Democratic rivals. Californians go to the polls on March 5, as part of Super Tuesday. Many have already submitted their ballots by mail. Under California’s “jungle” primary, the top two finishers — of any party — in the primary automatically advance to the general election. Schiff could have a hard time against Democrats, especially female Democrats, in November.

his week, Vladimir Putin finally — allegedly — murdered his chief political rival and critic Alexei Navalny. Navalny’s death followed an attempt by Putin’s operatives in 2020 to kill him by poisoning; Navalny survived the attempt, worked with online specialists to unmask the actual agents responsible for the poisoning and then returned to Russia, where he was promptly arrested on trumped-up charges and sent to a Gulag in the far north. Now, Navalny is dead. And Putin isn’t stopping there. This week, the Russian government announced an arrest warrant for Navalny’s brother, Oleg, on unspecified charges; Putin’s agents likely murdered...

Nazis appeared to find a friendly reception at the conservative political action conference this year. Throughout the conference, racist extremists, some of whom had secured official CPAC badges, openly mingled with conference attendees and espoused antisemitic conspiracy theories. But this year, racist conspiracy theorists didn’t meet any perceptible resistance at the conference where Donald Trump has been the keynote speaker since 2017. At the Young Republican mixer Saturday evening a group of Nazis, who openly identified as national socialists, mingled with mainstream conservative personalities, including some from Turning Point USA, and discussed race science and antisemitic conspiracy theories.

If you’ve been paying attention to conservative political discourse in America, you’ve probably seen a recurring message spoken into the ether of social media by all manner of pundits and politicos. Different factions within the party are grappling with the bulletproof magnetism of Donald Trump, frustrated with their inability to guide the party back to the “respectable conservatism” of years past. Indeed, Noah Rothman recently lamented that a generic conservative would be favored by the polls, and Republicans could taste success once more if only we simply return to our senses and nominate the generic conservative. This conclusion skirts the...

Beginning with Franklin Roosevelt, the mainstream media began to lean left, but it was subtle and still hewed to American constitutional and cultural norms. The lean became overt with Nixon’s presidency and accelerated in extremism during Reagan’s and both Bushes’ administrations. With Trump, though, the media shifted from bias to outright dishonesty and censorship. We had the Russia Hoax, the Ukraine Hoax, and, perhaps most deleteriously, the “Hunter Biden laptop is Russian disinformation” Hoax. Worse is to come, though, and you’re paying for it: The Biden administration is using taxpayer dollars to fund an AI system that will assist the...

Author’s Note: In light of the Supreme Court’s disastrous and unconstitutional decision to support the Biden regime’s border invasion in the Texas “razor wire” case, it seemed to be the right time to revisit this article from 2021 which explained to conservative voters how our “hand-picked” conservative judges betrayed us during the post-Trump years. It seems a hundred years have passed since President Trump picked Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett to serve on the Supreme Court and started what was supposed to be the Great Conservative Years of the Trump Era. Long after the Donald left...

American Affairs Journal has published an interesting essay looking at what the author calls the “well-being gap.” Essentially this is the idea, which is apparently fairly well known among social scientists, that conservatives tend to be happier in general while liberals are more likely to be depressed. Author Musa al-Gharbi is a sociologist at Columbia University and he starts with a topic that I’ve raised several times recently: The fact that liberal teens are struggling with mental health much more than conservative teens, especially over the last decade.

The Department of Homeland Security paid an activist group $700,000 to create self-described propaganda that attacked conservatives, a new investigation found. DHS used a grant program intended to combat terrorists, called the Targeted Violence and Terrorism Prevention (TVTP) Program, to pay activists to write blog posts that criticized Donald Trump and other conservatives under the guise of “media literacy,” the Media Research Center found through public records requests.

The “patriarchal white Christian nationalist platform” closely resembles Nazism, especially because of its opposition to abortion, LGBT Nation asserted this week. In the essay titled “Today’s white Christian nationalists are looking more and more like Nazis,” Warren Blumenfeld states that Christian conservatives who oppose abortion are peddling an agenda that is “scarily similar to Nazi ideology. “Though I rarely offer comparisons between the German Third Reich’s ascension to power and the contemporary United States – since to do so could trivialize one of the most horrific episodes in human history – I am nonetheless haunted by certain parallels that demand...

Last Thursday, Tennessee Republican Tim Burchett was the guest on the "Benny Show" podcast hosted by Benny Johnson. The topic of why conservative members of Congress vote for really un-conservative stuff came up, and Burchett's answer caused jaws to drop all over the country. "Here's how it works," he said. “You’re visiting—you’re out of the country or out of town or you’re in a motel or at a bar in D.C.—and whatever you’re into—women or men or whatever—comes up and they’re very attractive, and they’re laughing at your jokes. And you’re buying them a drink. Next thing you know, you’re...

At first, the ads seemed like a pandemic-era curiosity, a niche political pitch playing on the red state, blue state divide. “Escape liberal hell,” counseled one sales video from a Boise, Idaho, real estate agent. “Here are seven reasons conservatives flock to Idaho.” “Time is not on your side, flee the city NOW before the coming collapse!” read another ad for 5 acres in Moyie Springs, Idaho, listed for $259,000 by a Sandpoint, Idaho, company called Black Rifle Real Estate. (Motto: “Ready. Aim. Move.”) The idea that people would pick up and move solely for politics has seemed like a...

Javier Milei, the self-described classical liberal and anarcho-capitalist who won Argentina's presidential election on Sunday, campaigned with a brash message of slashing government programs, cutting taxes, and privatizing state-owned enterprises. Can voters experiencing economic turmoil be persuaded that government is the problem, rather than the solution? Yes. Milei won more than 56 percent of the vote Look how The New York Times summarizes Milei's platform: "lowering taxes; slashing regulations; privatizing state industries; reducing the number of federal ministries to eight from 18; shifting public education to a voucher-based system and public health care to insurance-based; and cutting federal spending by...

Actress Jamie Lee Curtis attacked religious conservatives in a recent speech, accusing them of “championing” homophobia and transphobia in the “name of religion,” adding that they must be “exposed and silenced.” “These are very dangerous times and I’m very happy to be in a room with people who are fighting the best fight they can fight,” Curtis said to an audience at the Out100 Celebration, a red-carpet event honoring those who Out magazine has named as trailblazers in the LGBTQ community, according to a report by Fox News. Ironically, the Halloween star went on to say that she “prays” that...

In the last twenty years, we have seen as a people the near-complete erosion and extinction of conservative policies and programs in US politics. The United States is EXPONENTIALLY becoming a secular socialist state while rapidly abandoning and despising our representative republic. Our Judeo-Christian heritage, morality, and values do not dominate our culture and society as they once did which has led to our ruin. Conservatism Without the Righteousness of Almighty God is a Big ETERNAL ZERO! Another reality is that many have never known any other kind of society than what presently exists. Accountability, responsibility, and virtue are “hisses...

Many leading Republicans and conservatives want someone other than Donald Trump to run for President in 2024. But this judgment requires an assessment of Trump’s vices and virtues in the context of our current political and cultural circumstances, as well as an assessment of other prospective Republican presidential candidates. Tom Klingenstein, Chairman of the Claremont Institute, explains Trump's Virtues.

Democratic leaders want their base to absolutely hate Hamas following its attack against Israel. They’ve settled on a way to do this: argue the Palestinian jihadis are just like the white people who marched in Charlottesville and stormed the Capitol on January 6. President Biden tied Hamas to the alt-right at a Human Rights Campaign event last week. Democrats have to connect foreign enemies to their domestic enemies. The average liberal hates the white Trump supporter far more than the Muslim terrorist. A liberal leader must claim that the white racist and jihadi are the same thing–no matter how ridiculous...

The HORRIFIC ills of our nation are already in supersonic motion moving as a 10,000 ft. tsunami towards our national shore and how can one man or even a remnant of U.S. conservatives stop such a HORRIFIC tsunami?? It takes great blind faith of any individual to believe that any man or any political party can stop and overturn our nation's EXPONENTIAL crisis and reverse our nation's super sonic death spiral. We are at the end and either you will receive these evil tidings or in great delusion receive the lie that its not to late to save America. “One...

Imagine if all those counterterror resources were redirected away from targeting Americans for their political views and aimed at stopping real terrorists.The barbaric attack on Israeli civilians over the weekend by Hamas terrorists has left people wondering, as we often do after mass tragedies: How did no one see this coming? As a surprisingly sophisticated, coordinated surprise attack left nearly 1,000 people dead and countless more innocents wounded or kidnapped, anyone can recognize the massive intelligence failure without calling into question who is morally culpable for the invasion. Iran-backed militants attacked civilians from multiple points of entry, hang-gliding into a...
