If Present Trends Continue: A Long-Term Prognosis for Human Civilisation Introduction: The Question Behind the Question When we ask about humanity’s long-term prognosis, “if things continue as they are,” we’re really asking: What happens when multiple unstable systems destabilise simultaneously while we remain locked in the political and economic patterns…

“Various “wars on drugs” throughout history have killed millions, enslaved millions more, destroyed families, are usually just thin pretenses for mass incarceration, mass surveillance, ethnic cleansing, population control.” ~ Kool A.D. There cannot be a war on drugs, a war on terrorism, a war on crime, a war on poverty,…
Among the key insights of Austrian economics are that humans act and value is subjective. These observations seem obvious and uncontroversial…essentially truisms. But they’re often forgotten, neglected, or misunderstood. Each person’s perspective is informed by innumerable variables that influence his values. An Englishman thinks a hundred miles is a long…
For more than a century, the Austrian School has warned that once money is severed from market discipline, every institution built upon it begins to deteriorate. Government expands without meaningful constraint. Savings are silently siphoned away. Investment becomes distorted by artificially cheap credit. War becomes politically easy. And political power…
Donald Trump is intent upon waging war on Venezuela for allegedly supporting the trade in narcotics. Nonsense. The unspoken military agenda is that Venezuela is the World’s Number One Oil and Gas Economy. “And we want the Oil”… There is another unspoken U.S. military agenda: The protection of the multibillion dollar…

America has given this third-world goober and his family everything — and he can't stand it.
While Republican factions bicker over H-1B admissions, the greatest issue is actually the “humanitarian” programs delivering an incompatible third world to our neighborhoods.
Corruption as far as the eye can see.
The phrase suggests that American workers are lazy or entitled, unwilling to engage in hard labor, while immigrants are uniquely industrious, but history shows otherwise.
Today's conditions are a perfect setup for the left's demise.
Israeli fans, despite being well-known for polite behavior, were forbidden from supporting their team.
A war crime? Not on a flagless carrier, which under international law is a pirate ship.
The fallacy the greenies suffer is the belief that the capital cost of these expensive renewable machines will fade away somehow.
Move from capitalism to dependency on a powerful government or socialism. It works every time.
How can anyone claim that we remain a free society when governments seek to pass bills like C-9?
The Treasury secretary is moving to a different front in the war against illegal immigration.
The Lake Street Church of Evanston doesn’t appear to be worshiping God, but something not at all holy.

The American navy is treating modern pirates the same way it treated the Barbary pirates: with hot lead and cold steel, no quarter asked and none given.
Michael Wolff is being pilloried, and although he’s a friend, he deserves some of it because of his dealings with the arch pimp and blackmailer Jeffrey Epstein. For any of you traveling abroad in North Korea, what Wolff has done is play uncle to the blackmailer-pimp, no longer with us,…
“Beethoven.” Berthold Genzmer (ca. 1890). December 16 is a special anniversary, a significant one in the history of our Western Christian civilization, but one that should not be forgotten. On that date, 255 years ago in 1770, the musician and composer Ludwig van Beethoven was born in the city of…
My post on Trump’s war on Venezuela two days ago mentioned a Washington Post report (archived) about a war crime directly ordered by U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth: The longer the U.S. surveillance aircraft followed the boat, the more confident intelligence analysts watching from command centers became that the 11 people on board were…
At least 10 children have died because of the COVID shots, according to a recently publicized email from Trump Food and Drug Administration (FDA) officials. “At least 10 children have died after and because of receiving COVID-19 vaccination,” FDA Chief Medical Officer Vinay Prasad wrote on Friday in an email to staff,…
The government shutdown “proved an argument that conservatives have been making for 45 years: The U.S. Department of Education is mostly a pass-through for funds that are best managed by the states.” The most significant thing about this statement in a November 16 USA Today editorial is not its substance.…
Modern western culture is an absolute anomaly in the history of human civilization. If one studies the principles and doctrines of nearly every other society and empire around the world, you will not find one that allows mass immigration of foreigners with contrary ideologies. You will not find one that…
When I hear people talk about saving Western values, I ask them which ones still exist. I asked a feminist that question and all she could come up with was “male toxicity.” I had just listened to a NPR program on which two feminists talked about Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders being sexually…
I recently watched the latest television network special on the JFK assassination: “Truth and Lies: Who Killed JFK?” from ABC News. While the names and faces were different, it was indistinguishable from all the other disinfo pieces produced by CBS, NBC, the Discovery Channel, etc. in the past. I watched…
It’s the craziest thing in the world that we already have the technological ability to provide a decent standard of living for everyone on earth, but it doesn’t happen because it’s not profitable. We attained the greatest scientific achievement of all time and then did nothing with it. Our society is completely uninterested in…

Lew, Nine days after Charlie Kirk was assassinated, his close friend Tucker Carlson appeared on The Charlie Kirk Show with TPUSA’s Andrew Korvet and Blake Neff. It’s interesting to watch it now to gain insight into Tucker’s friendship with Charlie and their shared faith as followers of Christ. Korvet immediately…

If each of these is not a part of any ‘reform,’ than all that is being done is pouring money into a monopolizing cartel, just in a slightly different way. Unbeknownst to those of us with little inside knowledge of the complex financial plumbing of the US healthcare system, healthcare…
As it is becoming obvious that Ukraine is losing in the proxy war against Russia, the ideas European governments are are throwing around are getting more crazy. Some are now eager to ‘pre-emptively’ attack Russia in ‘retaliation’ for alleged ‘hybrid attacks’ against European countries. Those ‘hybrid attacks’ are mostly pure…
Malcolm Muggeridge was a talented journalist who lived in Moscow in 1933, working for the Manchester Guardian. Though attracted to communism in his youth, the experience of being in Stalin’s Russia and observing what was going on caused him to become disillusioned. Especially disturbing was his realization that Stalin’s army and…

For years Donald Trump had no more committed a MAGA supporter than Rep. Margaret Taylor Greene of Georgia. As a private citizen, she had been fervently loyal to Trump during all the troubles and setbacks of his first term. Greene was then elected to Congress in 2020 and upon taking office fully…
It’s been 20 years since I retired from the Air Force and 40 years since I first entered Cheyenne Mountain, America’s nuclear redoubt at the southern end of the Front Range that includes Pikes Peak in Colorado. So it was with some nostalgia that I read a recent memo from General…
You might deem it self-evident that words should have meanings, but a growing number of people believe words can mean anything the speaker wants. It seems we now inhabit the fictional world imagined by Lewis Carroll, where, as Humpty Dumpty said, any word “means just what I choose it to mean—neither…
