America on the Verge

One day, when sufficient distance has been gained from the Current Year to permit sober reflection on our own era, the recent past will no doubt be seen as a watershed in American political history. The election of Barack Obama in 2008 gave politics a religious sheen for Millennials just coming of age, and for Boomers hoping to avoid confronting the wreckage left in the wake of their rule. The election of Donald Trump in 2016 gave the new religion its devil. From Russia collusion to #MeToo, from Covington Catholic to Judge Kavanaugh, American culture and politics in the years since has been an unbroken series of witch crazes, lynch mobs, and human sacrifices (some successfully carried out, others not). The Democratic Party, the corporate press, and progressive activists openly embraced political violence as a means to achieve policy goals, block political appointments, and now, to attempt to affect court decisions.

Want to prevent future cases like Kyle Rittenhouse’s? Stop tolerating riots

The big takeaway of MSNBC’s Chris Hayes from the Kyle Rittenhouse trial is that we should not have a society where “political conflict is settled on the streets between people with guns.” Good idea — and fortunately, there’s a simple way to get that: Do not tolerate riots.

The forgotten point in the Rittenhouse trial is that he is not the only person who was in Kenosha that night and should not have been. Rioters were also there, burning down buildings , looting from stores, and lighting cars on fire. The second night of riots saw 37 arsons in a city with a population less than 100,000. Local businesses saw an estimated $50 million in damages.

When it comes to managing your financial assets, you can rest assured that the employees at State Street weren’t hired based on skill or merit, but their gender and the color of their skin.

Dear Leftists: Tuesday Wasn’t About Us, It Was About You

Let’s be clear: Tuesday’s election wasn’t about us, it was about you. It was about putting a stop to your failed American Marxist policies that have been fundamentally transforming and dividing our country by race, class, and ideology. We see it, but, unsurprisingly, you don’t.

The Plot to Destroy America

Andy Ngo explains in Unmasked that the BLM organization and Antifa operate in tandem and are run by Marxists who seek nothing less than to destroy America—its governments; its houses of worship; its monuments to historic figures; and its flag and national anthem. They also seek to destroy free enterprise and to replace the standard pedagogy in schools with Marxist Critical Race Theory, hoping to breed generations of Marxist revolutionaries to promote violent overthrow. These efforts endlessly manifest themselves across the nation in the looting and burning of businesses, government buildings, and churches; robbery; assaults; and murder. They are furthered by many Democrat District Attorneys, Mayors, and Governors.

U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres issued a dire warning that the world is moving in the wrong direction and faces “a pivotal moment” where continuing business as usual could lead to a breakdown of global order and a future of perpetual crisis. Changing course could signal a breakthrough to a greener and safer future, he said.

‘A trigger warning for the Constitution’: Fury as woke National Archives adds ‘harmful language alert’ to America’s founding documents

The National Archives has added a ‘harmful language alert’ label on the nation’s founding documents including the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence as part of a new ‘anti-racism’ policies put in place by a task force.

The move by the institution, which is also considering retiring the term ‘charters of freedom’ since the founding documents did not grant liberty to everyone, has prompted furious reactions online.

You Don’t Need To Go To Kabul To See The End Of American Order. It’s Right Here Among Us

The nation’s attention these past two weeks has focused nearly exclusively on Kabul, and rightly so given that the city has become the scene of the largest hostage situation in American history and a vivid image of the decline of Pax Americana abroad.

But Americans don’t need to travel 7,500 miles to get a first-hand glimpse of the end of American order. In many of our own country’s major cities, gangs of masked thugs and criminals do what they please — and our far-better-armed police aren’t allowed to stop them and protect the rest of us.

Are We in a Revolution and Don’t Even Know It?

The collective madness that ensued from the pandemic, the quarantine, the self-induced recession, the George Floyd killing and subsequent months of exempted riots, the election year, and the resurgence of variants of the Chinese-engineered coronavirus, all ignited the fuse of formerly inert socialist dynamite. And the ensuing explosion of revolutionary fervor in just a few months has made America almost unrecognizable.

The Authoritarians

Jonathan W. Emord is one of the United States’ leading constitutional and administrative law attorneys. He has defeated the FDA eight times in federal court, more times than any other attorney in America. He is a guest lecturer at Georgetown University Law and Medical Schools, and the author of several books. He is the guest host with Robert Scott Bell of the “Sacred Fire of Liberty Hour” on The Robert Scott Bell Show. His latest Book, The Authoritarians: Their Assault on Individual Liberty, the Constitution, and Free Enterprise from the 19th Century to the Present, is a deep dive into the wells of history, law, economics, and government. It is a magisterial and monumental book that traces the historical roots of America’s accelerating race towards authoritarianism. Every American who cares about freedom and about how to reverse these trends, that will irrevocably undermine our freedom, should read this book. I interviewed Mr. Emord recently.
