    But, but... America is the land of the free!! Never mind the homeless coming to harass you for drug money, or the thug coming to shoot you simply because you're there, or the Karen who thinks you're the homeless or the thug and shouldn't be there, or the cop who has nothing better to do to than...

    What-If China attacks Taiwan

    Such openness shows the very real struggles within the CCP between Xi and his supporters and the moderate wing of the party. It lines up with my assessment that should Xi embark on a military invasion of Taiwan it will have to be a short, decisive victory. Any stumble will be spinned as the war...

    Peter Schiff: Somebody Has To Pay For Student Loan Forgiveness

    Biden was right: MAGA ideology is fascism

    You need to get off whatever you're on... Will do you good, I promise. I will dispense with addressing your under 18 right to vote, but instead focus on the purpose of voting. One person, one vote isn't so much about the next elected officials as it is about setting a direction for the...

    Biden was right: MAGA ideology is fascism

    The electoral college is a fundamental flaw of our system, demanded by the powerful to ensure protection of their interests against majority rule. It seems unbelievable that the country that most fervently promotes democracy in the world doesn't have the most basic element of democratic...
