Prophecy and mythology – “The word “debunked” gets thrown around an awful lot by the leftist media, and it’s amazing how often it really boils down to “we said it’s false and that’s all you need to know.” In 2009, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin created a sensation when she claimed that government-run healthcare would inevitably lead to the creation of bureaucratic boards responsible for deciding who should and shouldn’t receive treatment. It’s from this charge that we got the term “death panel,” which became a near constant reference during the congressional debate over the passage of the Affordable Care Act. Palin was called a loon and a crank. Fifteen years after Palin’s remark, disability advocate Krista Carr testified before members of the Canadian parliament that her organization receives weekly reports of medical assistance in dying (MAID) services being suggested unprompted to disabled individuals during routine, non-terminal care visits. Who could have predicted that government-controlled healthcare, combined with legalized euthanasia, would eventually lead to the sick and uncomfortable being told to kill themselves? Where does Palin go for her apology?” – Tom Knighton

ENSO: The Pacific’s Climate Powerhouse – “The overlooked engine behind global temperature spikes and U.S. weather whiplash. To understand ENSO, let’s start with the basics – no advanced physics required, just some ocean and atmosphere fundamentals. The El Niño-Southern Oscillation is a natural climate pattern in the tropical Pacific Ocean that flips between three phases: El Niño (warm), La Niña (cool), and neutral. It’s driven by interactions between the ocean and the atmosphere, specifically trade winds, sea surface temperatures (SSTs), and air pressure differences. Here’s how it works: ” – Dr. Matthew Wielick

“Ending the Grip of The Neocons” – “Col. Doug Macgregor was talking with Andrew Napolitano the other day – the day after Trump channeled his inner Chimp and “regime changed” Venezuela on behalf of (among others) his big business buddies in the oil and other natural resources extraction businesses – when he mentioned what RFK, Jr. said to a crowd at a Trump rally back in 2024. It is worth remembering: Don’t you want a president, Kennedy asked, who will “end the grip of the neocons?” By which he meant the Israel Firsters who pretend to be “conservative” so long as it advances the interests of Israel.” – Eric Peters

Trump Embraces the World and Breaks it – “Trump’s team became surprisingly outspoken—even transparent—about their imperial designs today. Team Trump spent today doubling down on US imperialism in surprisingly stark language about the United States’ right to take over and control whatever it wants! I’ve never heard such a blatant embrace of imperialism in the US before.” – David Haggith

Reflections from the Heart of the Empire: Misadventures and Distractions – “No, Palestine, I did not forget you. No, Zionists, I didn’t forget you, either, and I think I will live long enough to see the death of your dark, atavistic dream because It is also inevitable that our Mad Emperor will face severe backlash from his latest misadventure in Venezuela. Ipsos did a snap poll, and it is not good news for the Man with the Golden Crapper.” – Ohio Barbarian

Stop the Steal: Projection, Retaliation, and the Theft of Our Republic – “There’s an old saying that when you point a finger at someone, there are three fingers pointing back at you. It’s what psychologists refer to as projection—the act of accusing others of the very misconduct one is engaged in. While politicians of all political stripes are guilty of projection, Donald Trump, aptly dubbed a “master of projection,” could teach a master class in accusing others of wrongdoing of which he is guilty.” – John & Nisha Whitehead

Hey, POTUS, Venezuela’s Orinoco Belt Ain’t No Ghawar, Part 2 – “The Venezuela saga gets more cockamamie by the day. It turns out that the predicates for kidnapping the president of a country that poses no threat whatsoever to America’s Homeland security are about as threadbare (and even comical) as they come. For instance, did the DOJ writers of the superseding indictment of Maduro and his misses not turn bright red with embarrassment when penning this gem: “Possession of machine guns and destructive devices” and “conspiracy to possess machine guns and destructive devices” in furtherance of the narco-terrorism and cocaine importation conspiracies. WTF! For better or worse, the man was the president of a sovereign nation-state, and the very essence of such institutions is that they have all the guns or at least most of the big, really lethal ones such as military-style machine guns.” – David Stockman

What Would Smedley Butler Say about Venezuela? – “A Banana Republic dependent on oil to sustain its living standards, problems with heavy, high sulfur content crude, butthurt Exxon-Mobile and ConocoPhillips, and crippling U.S. sanctions” – John Leake

¡Don’t Cry For Me, Venezuela! Nicolás Maduro’s downfall and the future of the West.. – “If Maduro was, indeed, an illegitimate dictator, why hand the leadership baton to his equally illegitimate Vice President, Delcy Rodríguez, and not to the candidate who was, until five minutes ago, officially recognized by the US (and many others) as the country’s true leader, Edmundo González (or his Nobel Prize winning backer, María Corina Machado)? Was Maduro’s capture “pre-arranged,” as some have suggested, staged for all the world to see? ” – Joel Bowman

Boast Loudly and Swing a Big Stick – “An Exceptional Thugocracy. The Donroe Doctrine is really about military aggression without respect for international law. President Teddy Roosevelt famously said: “Speak softly and carry a big stick.” Favor diplomacy, but be prepared to use force when necessary. The Trumpian version is “Boast loudly and swing a big stick.” It’s the language of would-be conquerors, of imperators, of tyrants.” – Bill Astore

U.S. Captures Russia-Linked Tanker After Naval Standoff in the North Atlantic – “U.S. forces have seized a Russia-flagged tanker in the North Atlantic after a dramatic pursuit that began near Venezuelan waters, marking a sharp escalation in Washington’s enforcement of its global blockade on sanctioned Venezuelan oil. According to the Wall Street Journal, Russia deployed naval assets — including a submarine — to escort the vessel through the North Atlantic and requested that U.S. forces cease pursuit. Some analysts note that the use of a submarine strongly suggests the operation involved more than routine sanctions evasion, with behavior resembling a protected military or intelligence transfer rather than a commercial oil shipment. The incident underscores the Trump administration’s willingness to enforce its Venezuela oil blockade far beyond the Caribbean.” – Tom Kool

Immigration Agents Surge Into Minneapolis in ‘Largest Operation Ever’ – “Thousands of federal agents and officers spread across the Minneapolis–St. Paul area Tuesday.” – Jill McLaughlin

ICE Agent Shoots Woman Attempting To Run Over Officer During Minneapolis Illegal Alien Crackdown – “A federal immigration officer shot and killed a person whom Homeland Security described as a “violent rioter,” while local Democratic lawmakers said she was a “legal observer,” after DHS said she attempted to run over an agent. Video of the deadly shooting has surfaced on X, showing an ICE agent asking the woman, who was blocking the street with an SUV, to step out of the vehicle. She did not comply and instead accelerated toward another agent, at which point the agent fired multiple rounds into the vehicle, striking the woman, who died moments later. New angle from the ICE involved shooting in Minneapolis shows the woman CLEARLY hitting the agent with her car before he fires at her” – Tyler Durden

Mamdani’s Clown Show Offers Its Opening Act – “World Cup tickets. Rising subway fares. Magical “briefings”. And he’s only been in office a week. Zohran Mamdani promised a political revolution. What New York received in his first hours as mayor was a seminar in how slimy, two-faced doubletalk can face-plant when its reality is laid bare.” – Quoth the Raven

EU Strategery – “The EU, so desperate to exert their dictatorial powers, to feel the exhilarating rush of adrenaline from smashing someone’s face with the butt of a rifle, has revealed itself. It is that rarest of all birds, both fascist and communist in its outlook on the world. Having been able to conquer most of Western Europe with a simple change in immigration policy it is heady with success, brazen and anxious to lead the entire world from a small office in Brussels. The aggressive, hostile EU is like a drunk trolling a bar looking for a fight. It’s a different world, now, and these peons who run the EU and NATO believe that because big brother might be able to beat up some drunk in a bar, inciting violence to invoke it is stupid. But that’s the course they’ve chosen. Only now, they seem to believe that they are the puppet masters of the world. It’s bold, I have to give them that, but anyone can see through their tactics.” – T.L. Davis

Germany Is Competing With Poland To Lead Russia’s Containment – “Regardless of whoever comes out on top in this rivalry, the US still wins since they’re both NATO members, but a NATO-Russian Non-Aggression Pact should follow in any case for managing tensions.” – Andrew Korybko

Winter Shelter Failure Points Canadians Ignore Until the House Becomes Unlivable – “By mid-winter, most Canadian households are no longer planning — they are committed. Heat sources are chosen, windows are sealed, routines are fixed, and fuel is already being consumed. This is precisely why winter shelter failures become dangerous. Once temperatures remain below freezing for weeks at a time, there is very little room left to adapt. Cold itself rarely forces people out of their homes. What actually does it are internal shelter failures:” – denob

THE BIG PICTURE

Prebunking the prebunk at home and abroad – “As generally seems to be the case with multinational organizations purporting to serve some good or noble cause, the European commission, the UN, the WHO, USAID, NATO, and pretty much any other you’d care to name, has devolved into some weird hybrid of an impositional aristocracy making pretense to democracy and moral rectitude and an actual organized crime syndicate. And the game is really starting to heat up because it’s becoming clear that a lot of the things those organizations have been up to are about to come to light in relentless technicolor detail with receipts galore.” – El Gato Malo

You Don’t Need a Sword To Fight for God – “The Battle Is Not Won With Swords But With The Courage To Choose Good When Evil Is Easier. Christ told us plainly that the path is narrow and few will find it. He did not say this to discourage us but to prepare us for the truth that following Him would never be easy. The world is designed to pull you away from that narrow road at every turn. Every billboard and every screen and every whisper of temptation exists to drag you off the path and into the wide road where the crowds walk toward destruction without even knowing where they are headed.” – 🐺The Wise Wolf

Yes, the nuclear family matters – “The nuclear family—the version with a mom, dad, and kids—has long been a fixture of not just American life, but largely human life. The early days of mankind’s existence featured polygamy, sure, and it still pops up in various places, but monogamy has been the norm in the Western world since Christianity firmly took hold. Still, what we see is that the nuclear family is important for kids and their development as productive members of society. Which is probably why Marxists want to destroy the nuclear family. After all, if many of our problems can be solved via the family, there’s less reason for anyone to turn toward socialism/communism. ” – Tom Knighton

We Are All Indigenous Now – “How financial cleansing supplanted ethnic cleansing in the United States. Indigenous Americans are very well aware of this history, and so are minority groups like Blacks and Latinos who saw all sorts of nefarious tactics used against them to either prevent them owning land in the first place or driving them off of it if they already did. There are people writing right now that this was, and is, white supremacy. Often it was. What those writers will never tell you is that white people have been financially cleansed out of their homes as much or more often than anyone else throughout our history, albeit not because they were white. Mainly it was because they had the property some banker could take at the time.” – Ohio Barbarian

Above Average – “Immigrants, legal and otherwise, are the gifts that keep on giving. Minnesota is acting all indignant now over the discovery that its many thousands of Somali guests made a major industry of looting the government. What is it with Garrison Keillor’s upright descendants of the pioneers? I guess they’re not as “above average” as he used to tell us. The fellow in charge, for instance, was one Tim Walz, recently a candidate for Veep, if you can believe it. He seemed oblivious to the scam-o-rama going on, though the “Little Mogadishu” neighborhood in Minneapolis is only a couple of miles from the governor’s mansion across the Mississippi River in St. Paul.” – James Howard Kunstler

The Somali Patronage System has taken Hold of Minnesota Politics – “The United States has long comforted itself with a story about immigration. People arrive poor and traumatized, they struggle, and over time they assimilate. Languages fade, loyalties widen, and civic norms take root. That story has been true often enough to feel like a law of nature. But it is not a law. It is a wager. And in the case of Somali immigration, particularly in Minnesota, the wager is failing in plain sight.” – Amuse on X

I don’t know what happened, but now my feed is flooded with pro-EU posters ,I’ve never seen most of these posters on X before, they came out of the woodwork, as if I’ve been suddenly targeted, but I have no way of knowing how that would happen unless internally, leftists within the X organization, flipped some switches. What I discovered, though, was confirming my every bias when it comes to the EU.” – T.L. Davis

Take out a loan; pay it back–outrageous! – “It was Barack Obama who federalized the student loan industry. The consequences were inevitable. Provided a bottomless federal money source, colleges began admitting anyone who could obtain a federal student loan, which was just about anyone. Students who no competent college would have admitted in the past were greeted not because of their potential for academic success, but for their federal loan dollars. It took very little time for the trends to become obvious. A great many people who shouldn’t have been in college were dropping out after a year or two with enormous loan debt they had no skills, education or ability to repay. By September of 2025, total student loan debt stood at $1.81 trillion dollars. In an obvious attempt to buy votes, Joe Biden’s handlers, after pausing loan repayment for years, tried to forgive the student loans of up to 43 million former students, a move struck down by the Supreme Court in 2023. Now, the Department of Education has shut down the hope of shifting the loan burden to taxpayers: ” – Mike McDaniel

Christians are Disappearing from the Middle East – And the West Is Doing Nothing About It – “For nearly two millennia, Christianity has been woven into the fabric of the Middle East.

For that matter, the U.S. government didn’t own any Venezuelan oil either. It was U.S. oil companies that were granted concessions from the Venezuelan government near the beginning of the 20th century to extract oil from Venezuela in return for payment of concession fees to the Venezuelan government.” – Jacob G. Hornberger

In February, following Trump’s successful effort to force Panama to withdraw from China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), the administration set its sights on Peru and its Chancay megaport. The port facility, located 80 kilometers from Lima, the Peruvian capital, was constructed by China’s COSCO Shipping at a cost of around $1.3 billion. Chancay Port is considered China’s flagship project in Latin America and it has a 60% stake in the port and exclusive operating rights.” – Kurt Nimmo

Gold stock analyst Don Durrett just posted an interesting explanation:Question #1: What is the motivation behind these videos? I can only think of two: 1) Make Money.
