ANALYSIS – Ever since Ukraine began turning the tide against Russia’s invasion, the fear of Ukraine striking into Russia has haunted wobbly U.S. and NATO leaders. The fear of escalation and a possible Russian nuke response has been a constant concern in the major NATO-Russia proxy war being fought in Ukraine. This is a primary reason NATO has refrained from giving Ukraine longer-range missile and rocket systems that can strike Russian-occupied territories, much less Russia itself. The U.S. even secretly modified the advanced Himars rocket launchers it gave Ukraine so they can’t be used to fire long-range missiles into Russia. But this…

ANALYSIS – No surprise to me. I ran against this disgrace in 2010 in the GOP primary. I highlighted his obscene corruption, but much of the GOP establishment backed him to the hilt. In the ‘you can’t make this up’ category, the discredited GOP ex-congressman David Rivera has been arrested by federal officials for conspiring to lobby on behalf of America’s Latin American nemesis, socialist Venezuela. This, despite being the GOP’s South Florida poster boy for ‘anti-communism,’ an image he assiduously cultivated for years to curry favor with the Miami conservative base and deflect from his myriad failings. When I ran…

ANALYSIS – For those who aren’t paying attention or not reading American Liberty Defense News, China and Russia keep deepening and integrating their defense and military ties. Sending a message to the West, Chinese and Russian long-range bombers just conducted “joint patrols” over the Sea of Japan and the East China Sea on Wednesday. The combined bomber missions from America’s two biggest adversaries also included Russian and Chinese aircraft landing on each other’s airfields, a first for this type of exercise. According to one source, the eight-hour-long patrols consisted of Russian Tu-95MS and Chinese H-6K bombers, escorted by Russian Su-35S and Su-30SM…
ANALYSIS – While the establishment media continues to ignore the disturbing ‘Twitter Files’ released by Elon Musk showing how Twitter censored the Hunter Biden laptop story, more information now indicates it was worse than we first thought. As Musk noted, it’s not a direct First Amendment violation for a private company to censor the news, but it absolutely is if it’s done at the behest of our government. https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1598853708443357185 And while I will argue that as the nation’s new ‘public square,’ Big Tech does violate the First Amendment when it censors news, there is now no denying that in the Hunter laptop…

Former decorated Navy SEAL Chris Beck, who publicly announced his transition to look like a woman in 2013, has now said that this was a life-shattering mistake, and he is de-transitioning* back to his biologically male gender. Beck, who started going by the name Kirsten, was a poster child of the trans movement and was used aggressively by them to promote and impose their radical agenda in the U.S. military. Beck earlier served in the Navy SEALs for 20 years, going on 13 deployments, including with the famed SEAL Team Six. According to his speaker bio, he was awarded over 50…
ANALYSIS – This is how the world ends, not with a bang but a ‘misgendering.’ A recent podcast interview with the ex-Twitter censorship czar provides insight into the warped woke ‘logic’ behind insanely dangerous leftist censorship. The illuminating comments were made by the former head of trust and safety at Twitter to defend the company’s earlier choice to suspend The Babylon Bee, a Christian satire outlet, for ‘misgendering’ a public official. Misgendering is the new made-up woke term that refers to someone not calling someone else by their own totally made-up preferred gender identity. And to the left, this simple choice is…
