The recent firing of the Secretary of The Navy was a reasonable action if one assumes that the members of the administration are subordinate to the President and are tasked with implementing his policies. That the former secretary was resistant to some of those policies is ample reason to fire him, and in fact should…

The Morning Rant
“The world’s greatest deliberative body?” My ass. The Grown in America Act of 2025 (H.R. 1707) is legislation introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives in early 2025. Sponsored by Rep. David Kustoff (R-TN) along with Rep. Jim Costa (D-CA) and others, the bill’s goal is to strengthen American agriculture by encouraging businesses to buy more…
The Morning Rant
What’s that? The judiciary is out of control? You have no idea. A superior court judge in Santa Barbara has decided that the federal government is subordinate to California diktats governing corrosion protection of oil pipelines running from offshore rigs. From that flowed an order that in spite of the President invoking the Defense Production…
Islam Never Takes Its Eyes Off The Prize, And That Prize Is Our Destruction
Islam is predicated on the goal of world domination: the creation of a worldwide caliphate. Lest you think that is simply one religious government controlling all Muslims, the reality is that the existence of non-Muslims is an affront to Islam, and the conversion or destruction of all non-Muslims is implicit. Taqiyya is the Islamic concept…
The Morning Rant: Broken Windows Theory
Great cities fail for reasons that seem unimportant, but in retrospect are monumental. The 1982 “Broken Windows Theory” of James Q. Wilson and George Kelling has been mocked and minimized by the rulers of the very cities whose decline can be linked to it, but the correlation is undeniable. It is simple and obvious; Visible…
The Morning Rant: Iran Is Not Of The West
The gulf between East and West is massive, and the best way to see it is to negotiate. Westerners, animated by 2,500 years of Western culture — based on empiricism and truth and morality — make implicit assumptions about the motives of the people across the table: that they are motivated by the same goals…an…
The Morning Rant
Bernard Lewis, the great scholar of Islam, said: For Muslims, negotiation is a form of warfare, conducted by other means, and is subject to the same rules. In the traditional Islamic view, the world is divided into the House of Islam and the House of War. The latter is assumed to be at war with…
The Morning Rant
One of the reasons why we conservatives find it difficult to comprehend the magnitude and reach of the organizations funding, organizing, and promoting the comprehensive leftist response to pretty much everything the Trump administration does, is that we are far too invested in our own individualism, and chafe at the thought of being a cog…
The Morning Rant: Spain Is Lost
50 years of American-sponsored welfare at the expense of any sense of national pride, desire to participate in the defense of its own culture, and the active importation of subwits from the 3rd World because they were just too lazy to pick up their own garbage and mop their own floors has led to the…
The Morning Rant: Why USAID Needed To Be Destroyed
Here is EXACTLY why USAID needed to be burned to the ground. It was an easy conduit for massive amounts of money to be funneled to every illicit pet project of the D.C. elites and the permanent administrative state that has grown like some malignant tumor in the body of our republic. The obvious possibility…
