This is only one of a score or more Senate and House races Dems are cheating to win. Watch here as Wisconsin’s Evan Hode explains 4am vote dumps of 108k voting 90% Dem and Milwaukee precincts counting 150 to 200% of registered voters. Similar to what happened to Mike Rogers in Michigan, and Sam Brown in Nevada.
Then there’s Kari Lake in Arizona. Two years ago, she was elected Governor going away – until the Dems’ Cheat-To-Win machine kept counting and counting and counting “absentee” and “mail-in” fraudulent ballots until magically woketard Katie Hobbs (more…)
The megalithic temple of Hajjar Qim (hah-jar seem) on the island of Malta in the center of the Mediterranean, was built a thousand years before the pyramids in Egypt. The Stone Age people there made their temples of enormous stones weighing several tons cut from the limestone bedrock with tools of stone and antler horn for they had no metal, and moved them using small round-cut rocks as ball bearings for they had no wheels.
The massive stone I’m in front of weighs over 20 tons. These folks figured out all by themselves how to build these extraordinary (more…)

I met my wife Sue 32 years ago at a Thanksgiving party with some friends of ours. Normally I would have been with my extended family – Thanksgiving was always a favorite of my parents – but this year they hosted our family dinner on Friday instead of Thursday, so other family members could be with their respective in-laws.
Had my parents not changed the routine that year, Sue and I might never have met; we never would have been married, we would never have had our kids, and the life we know would be different in so many ways (more…)
The biggest blunder in the history of American politics was the premeditated, unabashed, and overt theft of the 2020 presidential election by the Democrat Party, the legacy media, and their fellow left-wing elitists in the Ruling Class. This blunder set the stage for the 2024 Trump landslide and hastened the demise of the Democrat Party and the legacy media.
This cabal further compounded the original blunder of overtly stealing the 2020 election by adopting unprecedented lawfare against Donald Trump, insisting that an obviously addled Joe Biden be the Democrat nominee, ousting Biden four months before the election, and choreographing the (more…)
One of the things commentators have been noticing is the absence (mostly) of any violence or “mostly peaceful” protests following the win of Donald Trump.
Some are questioning why that is and are offering explanations similar to “everyone knew Kamala was unsuitable.
Indeed, Cackling Death was a terrible candidate, but was no worse than His Royal Senescence or any of the numerous other Pokemon that the Democrats have been running.
I say the real reason was that they were unprepared—most on the Left really thought she was going to win.
If the thinkers up top didn’t believe this, they were (more…)
While exploring the Roman ruins of Sabratha on the Mediterranean coast of Libya in 2014, I came upon the men’s bathroom in the Gymnasium. “Now here’s a loo with a view!” I exclaimed, and noticed it was designed to have water flowing through the trough below the series of toilets.
Founded as a trading post by the Phoenicians in the 6th century BC, it was settled and rebuilt by the Romans some 500 years later, flourishing for centuries as a main supplier of olive oil for the Empire. Monumental temples and theatres were constructed, along with sumptuous villas adorned (more…)
Yesterday (11/12), the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit summarily vaporized 46 years of Federal environmental regulations.
Writing in a case called Marin Audubon Society, et al v. FAA, et al., the majority of a three-judge panel ruled that the Council on Environmental Quality, a cabal inside the Executive Office of the President charged with ensuring that National Environmental Protection Act requirements are interpreted uniformly across the federal government, had illegally used the Federal Register to publish that guidance thereby giving citizens, agencies, and even (more…)
After his historic election win, President-elect Donald Trump promised to hit the ground running.
Boy oh boy, he wasn’t kidding.
Trump first tapped his 2024 campaign manager Susie Wiles as his White House chief of staff.
The veteran Republican operative – I use that term in a positive sense, here – is a no-nonsense, behind-the-scenes professional.
While Wiles avoids the spotlight, Trump puts his complete faith in her:
“Susie Wiles just helped me achieve one of the greatest political victories in American history and was an integral part of both my 2016 and 2020 successful campaigns. Susie is tough, smart, (more…)
In the city of Lezhë overlooking the Adriatic Sea, there is a memorial to Albania’s national hero, Scanderbeg (1405-1468). Born Giorgi Kastrioti in this city of northern Albania, he earned the title of “Lord Alexander” – Scanderbeg in Albanian – for his military genius in leading his Christian army against the Moslem armies of the Ottoman Empire. For 25 years (1443-1468), his 10,000 Christian Knights consistently inflicted defeat after defeat upon always much larger Moslem forces.
His victory in the Battle of Albulena in 1457, where he destroyed an Ottoman army of 70,000, killing 15,000 and taking 15,000 prisoners, so (more…)
Carpe diem. The older you get, the more important seizing the day becomes.
On Saturday – November 9, World Freedom Day, the day the Berlin Wall fell in 1989 – I turned 81. I’m grateful for my good health, without an ache or pain or problem in my body.
I work out pretty hard six days a week with a wide variety of exercises, stick to a high protein/high fiber/low glycemic index diet (lucky for me that Rebel is such a fabulous cook), and the quantity of nutritional supplements I take every day would astound you.
That enables me (more…)
One of the most spectacular glaciers on earth, the Perito Moreno spills off the gigantic Southern Patagonia Ice Field constantly calving into Lago Argentino at the bottom of South America. It is almost 100 square miles of ice some 600 feet thick, and is an embarrassment to climate alarmists because it’s growing, not retreating. Every day, huge chunks of ice on the glacier’s front (which you see in the photo) break off or “calve” into the lake, equal to the glacier’s forward advance of two meters or over six feet a day.
Thunderous cracks and booms accompany the plunge of (more…)
[This Monday’s Archive was originally published on November 11, 2021. In those dark times, it was a call for Americans to realize what it would take to have a country they once were proud of and could be proud of once again. This week, Americans answered that call. How thrilling it is to have our country back.]
I took this picture last week. It is a painting made of azuelos (Portuguese glazed tiles) portraying Prince Henry the Navigator’s Conquest of Ceuta – the stronghold of Barbary Coast Moslem pirates – on August 21, 1415.
Ceuta was on the African side of the Straits of Gibraltar, from where the Moslem pirates incessantly raided the Portuguese coast depopulating entire villages, carting off men for labor slaves and women for sex slaves sold in the Arab slave markets across North Africa.
Prince Henry (1394-1460) is legendary in history for launching the entire Age of Discovery, (more…)
Dalat, South Viet Nam, 1961. I was 17 years old. A friend of my father’s, Herb Klein, came by our house. He was a prominent businessman whose passion was big-game hunting. He had just returned from the mountain jungle highlands of South Viet Nam and regaled us with stories of the Montagnard tribespeople who were plagued by tigers with a taste for human flesh. He told me that after climbing the Matterhorn, living with Amazon headhunters, and swimming the Hellespont, hunting a man-eating tiger should be my next adventure.
“You’d be saving so many lives, Jack,” he told me. (more…)
