Longtime readers know that I am a vehement opponent of state-sponsored medical murder. Yes, I know. It is sold as compassionate care for the incurably ill who don’t want to suffer every moment until they die a horrible death.

The alternative media and even President Trump himself are promoting a story from notoriously sketchy John Solomon again. This time it is important to point out how dangerous he has become – perhaps President Trump (or someone close) will take note. The core of this latest story centers around a reported email chain from a Biden-era DOJ/FBI official who had serious reservations about the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago. [Story Here] However, in typical Solomon fashion there is no source citation for the email itself, nor any explanation of where it came from. Instead, it’s another story written from a ‘trust…

For Joe Biden’s pro-abortion administration, destroying the unborn was, along with transgenderism, a top priority for the White House. As part of that his officials first granted $88 million in emergency loans to Planned Parenthood abortion businesses – to keep people on the payroll during COVID. Then Biden forgave those loans so the millions of dollars essentially were a handout to the abortion industry in America. Those corporations now have been notified they got that money without being qualified, and federal officials are working to make sure such a disaster for American taxpayers never happens again.

The distinguished political scientist Graham Allison, author of the 2015 Atlantic article “The Thucydides Trap,” argued that often in history an established power will stage a preventive war against an ascendant adversary–for fear that otherwise it will soon lose its primacy. His title derives from two passages in the first book of the ancient Greek historian Thucydides (460-400/395? BC), author of “The Peloponnesian War.”Thucydides, on these two occasions, felt that the most likely cause of the Spartan-Athenian war (431-404) was Spartan fear of an increasingly powerful rival Athenian empire. That anxiety supposedly prompted a Spartan preventive invasion before, so Sparta…
