In 1831, President Andrew Jackson dispatched the USS Lexington to the Falkland Islands to respond to attacks on American fishing vessels in the area. The Lexington rescued the American vessels and American citizens, and took some of the locals, loosely aligned with British and other local authorities, prisoner as punishment for seizing the American ships. Jackson did not pursue a declaration of war which, in any case, would have involved a fairly nebulous authority in Buenos Aires, or more dangerously, with London, although after having already dispatched the USS Lexington, he suggested to Congress that “they may clothe the Executive with such authority and means as they may deem necessary for providing a force adequate to the complete protection of our fellow citizens fishing and trading in those seas.” The Falklands Incident, as it was known, 194 years ago, was one of many interventions by American forces against, as Jackson put it, “bands” linked to governments, without being part ...

There are two ‘rights’ in America. There’s the one we belong to, concerned with fighting the Left, resisting Islam and preserving America. And there’s another right that hates America. These days that ‘right’ is easier to spot than ever because it has one fatal ‘tell’. It spends little or no time fighting the Left, instead it spends all or most of its time fighting conservatives. Not only doesn’t it fight the Left, but it often makes common cause with leftists, inviting on not just liberals, but hard core socialists and even Marxists, to its podcasts, and eagerly citing them to attack conservatives and the legitimacy of the United States of America. Watch for Jeffrey Sachs, Cenk Uygur, Glenn Greenwald and Max Blumenthal being interviewed and quoted to attack conservatives and America and you’ll see the anti-American right. That’s because, woke left or woke right, they’re all members of the anti-American club. Like the Left, they don’t want to save America, they want to replace it with...

In the spring of ’77, President Jimmy Carter visited the town of Clinton, MA, and called for a ‘Palestinian’ state. Why did Carter choose a town of 15,000 at a town hall where most of the attendees were asking him questions about the economy to announce what would become the single longest running nation-building project in American history? No one knows. But almost 50 years, 7 presidents and countless billions of dollars later, there’s still no ‘Palestinian’ state. And we are still nation-building that terror state in the name of peace. Even as America struggled through a recession, Carter traveled around insisting on the urgent need of “the Palestinians to have a homeland”. The ‘Palestinians’ repaid him by hijacking a German plane that included American passengers and holding them hostage in Somalia. After futilely pleading with Syrian dictator Hafez al-Assad to come to America, Carter finally met him in Switzerland, praised him as a “moderate leader” who had demonstrated “good will...

At a meeting with Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, Rep. Robert Garcia announced that the House Democrats on the Oversight Committee would be launching a ‘Master ICE tracker’. This follows the previous removal of ICE trackers by Apple and Facebook after the apps and sites tracking activity by immigration law enforcement personnel led to multiple violent confrontations with illegal alien activists, ugly acts of violence and at least one death so far. These confrontations are not just the work of random extremists, but of a leftist activist base supported by top Democrats and the media which have promoted ICE trackers, distributed the contact information for groups interfering with ICE arrests and subsidized the perpetrators. Before Carlitos Ricardos Parias, an illegal alien TikTok influencer, was arrested in an alleged car ramming assault on federal agents in Los Angeles, he had received a ‘Certificate of Appreciation’ from Councilmember Curren D. Price Jr for his “tireless efforts to safeg...

The Soros clan, along with other family foundations of the liberal elite, Knight, MacArthur, Ford, Omidyar, and the Rockefellers, have announced that they’re teaming up to fight investigations by the Justice Department. While Alex Soros, George’s son, bragged that he would not give in, “over my dead body”, the presidents of the MacArthur and McKnight Foundations have declared that everyone needs to dust off their “crisis plans” and put their “legal teams on speed dial” ahead of a crackdown. What are they afraid of? The Unite in Advance coalition was formed so quickly by the big liberal grantmaking groups funding radicalism to form a ‘united front’ that it didn’t even have the time to build a site. While Unite in Advance’s joint letter mentions the Charlie Kirk assassination and subsequent investigations of Antifa and other radical groups, an initial version of this ‘unity’ push had come out back in April with over 700 leftist groups, led by the MacArthur Foundation and, despite the cl...

Three years before a leftist transgender-linked gunman murdered Charlie Kirk, a transgender assassin tried to carry out his plan to kill three Supreme Court justices to wipe out humanity. At one in the morning, Nicholas Roske allegedly showed up outside Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s home carrying a gun, zip ties and tools for breaking and entering. Roske was angry about the Supreme Court’s ruling on abortion because he believed that abortion should be “mandatory for pregnant women” so that “no new people would be born” and “humanity will end”. Roske wanted to kill three Supreme Court justices so that “there are more liberal than conservative judges”, so that abortion would be legal and the human race would end. While Roske’s first name was listed as Nicholas, he used ‘Sophie; and his lawyers have announced that they will from now on refer to him “as Sophie and use female pronouns.” Later the same year that a transgender assassin tried to murder a Supreme Court justice, a transgender cu...

When the Feds finally raided Cedric Dean’s mansion, out front were the words “Thug Mansion” and “Black Lives Matter”. Inside the homes of the expert ‘Thugologist’ in North Carolina were the fruits of his hard work from allegedly defrauding Medicaid of millions and some ruder types speculate that the author of ‘How To Stop Your Children From Going To Prison’ may soon need a new chapter. But the BLM adjacent activist has had a lot of chapters in his life that began when he was sent to prison for armed robbery at 16, then locked away for 105 years on charges of operating a crack ring until he was freed by pro-crime sentencing reforms that went easy on crack dealers. But even while in prison, Dean had invented first ‘Deanism’, which promised to cure criminals, and ‘Thugology’, which claimed that being a thug was a medical condition. Relaying messages to be posted on Facebook from prison, Dean claimed that “we have available thugologists from every region of the country” who were “reformed...

After Zohran Mamdani castigated Cuomo for not visiting a mosque, he showed him how it was done by visiting the Al-Taqwa Mosque and posing smilingly with its Jihadist Imam Siraj Wahhaj. Mamdani, running to be the city’s first Muslim mayor, had already visited a great many mosques, some, like the Islamic Society of Bay Ridge , already notorious for its support for Hamas and cursing Christians and Jews, but had saved the worst mosque for last. The progressive candidate openly embraced an imam who not only supported terrorism, but had called for the full application of Islamic Sharia law “If Allah says cut off their hand, you cut off their hand. If Allah says stone them to death” and the execution of gay people “kill them both” at a mosque whose spokesman had denounced women who wear perfume as “deviant”. Mamdani was betting that the media would keep quiet or play defense for his campaign and he was right. The New York Times swiftly accused Cuomo of ‘Islamophobia’ and defended Wahhaj, c...
