by Leo Hohmann, Leo Hohmann: Mike Pence is quickly becoming the most unlikable politician in America, and I’m not even talking about his backstabbing role on January 6, 2021. Speaking at a Townhall on September 13, Pence said that if Ukraine can’t deliver a bloody nose to Russia, the U.S. will need to step in […]
The United States of America was founded as an answer to the tyranny of abusive power from a leadership that everyone was required to be loyal to at all costs. Rebelling against the most powerful empire on Earth was a very risky proposition, and the Founders of the American nation had no ambition to create […]
Of course, King was murdered by the Deep State on Steroids: Both the Jowers and the Wilson allegations suggest that persons other than or in addition to James Earl Ray participated in the assassination.

Ahh, the lords of war, and the companies’ stocks going up up up. Look at these thieves, Lockhead Martin, General Dynamics, Raytheon, Northrup Grumman.

The amendment is supposedly designed […]
It’s a grotesque, ceremonial observance, marked by a degree of unpardonable acceptance. The First World War, which killed millions, extirpated classes in Europe, and destroyed monarchies, established a mawkish ritual that serves to continue, rather than prevent war. The more one grieves for the slaughtered and the brain frozen folly, the more one hopes for […]
This is a rite of passage that needs to go the way of the Dodo. Mercenaries, and now, we have a blue blood son, grandson to Robert Kennedy, heading out to Ukraine with some sad sack ideas about what he in the name of Hell is going to do in that country? Yep, RFK Jr., […]
