Words of wisdom

America’s GoAT USSC Justice (and it ain’t even close), the incomparable Clarence Thomas, says it loud and clear.

Clarence Thomas SLAMS progressivism as threat to Americans’ natural rights
Progressivism “requires of the people a subservience and weakness incompatible with a constitution premised on the transcendent origin of our rights.”

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas spoke at the University of Texas in Austin on Wednesday night and he lashed out at the horrible political philosophy of progressivism, saying that it’s anathema to the Declaration of Independence and the goals set forth in that document. He praised the ethos of the Founding Fathers and urged Americans to not be “passive spectators” in American liberty, but to uphold the Declaration of Independence.

He spoke about his career, realizing early on in Washington, DC, that he had to define his principles and their worth. “What are your principles worth to you?” He said he asked himself.

“My answer then was the same I would give today: they are worth life itself. What are those principles? They are the same principles in the Declaration. They were bequeathed to me by my grandparents and reinforced by my nuns and my faith.

“In God’s eyes, we are equal. We are all equally created in the image and likeness of God. We are all endowed with the natural rights to life, liberty and happiness. Our rights and our dignity are inherent. They do not come from others, and they do not come from the government. And our government derives its legitimacy and its authority from our consent. We do not derive our rights from our government.

“The primacy of our rights in relation to our government is crucial in reconciling the mortal words of the Declaration with our Constitution and our history. None of our rights come from the government.

“All of the government’s authority comes from our consent, and the structure and limited role of government is to assure that it does not exceed the authority to which we have consented or intrude on our natural rights. The Constitution is the means of government. It is the Declaration that announces the ends of government.

“The Constitution achieves this purpose by protecting our natural rights and our liberties from concentrated power and excessive democracy. Our Constitution creates a separation of powers and Federalism, truly for the first time in modern history, to prevent the government from becoming so strong that it threatens our natural rights.”

Preach it, sir. Gonna be a dark day indeed when Justice Thomas steps down and retires, not only for liberty-oriented Americans but for liberty its own self. Wise, steadfast, and clear-eyed; learned, eloquent, level-headed, and unflappable; steeped in the history, lore, and principles of our nation’s Founding; the man truly gets it, in a way that no other Justice ever quite has. Mere words can’t express how very fortunate Real Americans are to have him, particularly in these most parlous of times.

How it is fucking DONE

Many, many heartfelt kudos for these brave young men.


These badass ROT-SEE cadets seem to have internalized the hard-to-take lesson that, with attacks committed by certain favored deranged-troglodyte groups (ie, Leftists, feral urban niggers, Moslems, AWFLs), decent folks have been in effect abandoned by the “proper authorities,” and are now fully and completely on their own. There will be no help coming, and therefore if they want to hold onto not just their uninjured hides but their very lives they’re just going to have to take matters into their own hands—in this instance, quite literally.

Kinda underscores the whole raison d’être of us 2A absolutists, don’t it?

Well, Sucks To Be a Mullah Right Now

Hat tip: Sarah Hoyt at Insty – Instapundit

Nicely done list of Iranian atrocities committed against Americans. There are literally hundreds more. Iran has been at war with the USA for almost a half century. Iran has been a russian proxy. The USA has just joined the war, decided to put an end to the iranian regime.

1983: proxies for the Iranian mullahs car-bomb the US embassy in Beirut, Lebanon. 17 American killed.

1983: proxies for the Iranian mullahs car-bomb the US Marine barracks in Lebanon. 241 US servicemen killed.

1984: proxies for the Iranian mullahs kidnap the CIA station chief in Lebanon, and spend 15 months torturing him — let me rephrase that: they tortured this man with electric drills, hammers, electricity, pliers, and anything else they thought of; and in-between torture sessions he was locked in a cage too small to stand, and too narrow to lay down for a year and three months. He was reduced to an animal, mind gone, gibbering in terror, before his heart finally gave out under torture. We know this, because the Iranian proxies sent us video recordings of the torture sessions.

1984: proxies for the Iranian mullahs hi-jacked aeroplanes, singled out American passengers, and murdered them.

1988: proxies for the Iranian mullahs kidnapped the head of the United Nations Peacekeeping Mission in Lebanon — an American — and tortured him. They sent us a video of his murder via slow strangulation when they got bored with the torture.

1996 to 1998: proxies for the Iranian mullahs car-bombed US Airforce housing in Saudi Arabia, and United States embassies in Tanzania and Kenya, killing Americans.

2003 to 2011: the mullahs set up a factory making Explosively-Formed Penetrators of a Russian design, and trained militiamen in their use for the specific purpose of attacking US servicemembers in Iraq. They succeeded in killing or injuring several hundred US troops with these EFPs.

The mullahs have attempted attacks inside America’s border — the most famous of which being the 2022 stabbing of Salman Rushdie in New York, where he lost an eye.

The Iranian mullahs have used the natural resources of Iran to become the #1 sponsor of International terror since 1979. If there is a terror group killing innocents, wrecking economies, and generally disrupting the world, there’s a pretty good chance the mullahs gave that terror group a wad of cash.

That’s a very brief account of the butcher’s bill in American lives directly laid at the feet of the mullahs in Iran.

In the shit

For the carrier Gerald Ford and its crew, all too literally.

One of the most formidable weapons in the Navy is its largest aircraft carrier, the USS Gerald R. Ford. Reports are that it’s already within striking distance of Iran, if need be. At a cost of about $13 billion, you’d expect it to have everything needed to wage war in the 21st century, and it does. Except that it has one problem – its toilets are broken.

The most recent reports are that for a ship that houses a crew of over 4,000, there are only 650 toilets on board. Of those, more and more of them are just not working.

According to a recent article in Navy Times, “The complications primarily involve the Ford’s vacuum collection, holding and transfer system, or VCHT, which transports and disposes wastewater by sucking fecal matter through pipes using pressure.”

Reports are that the three big issues are: Ship designers simply didn’t plan on enough commodes for the size of the crew on the ship. This means 45-minute waits on a good day. The second issue is that the way the plumbing system is designed, if one valve for one toilet breaks down in that hinky vacuum collection system, all the toilets in that department stop working. The third problem is that most of the critical repair operations to the system can only be done when the ship is at port.

As more sailors rely on fewer toilets, this is expected to stress the system and cause even more shutdowns.

Not to even mention how severely stressed the sailors must be by it.

The Ford was launched in October 2013, and so if you want, you could blame the Obama administration. That’s always fun and appropriate, even here. But when it comes to the many years it takes, and all the people and companies involved in building a single aircraft carrier, there is probably enough blame to go around.

The Navy Times revealed that a 2020 Government Accountability Office report “pointed out that the sewage pipes woven throughout the [Ford] were too narrow to properly serve the flushes of the 4,000-plus crew members onboard… To unclog the toilets, the Navy has been forced to spend $400,000 per flush of a unique acidic chemical designed to flush out and unburden the strained pipes.”

So as reports spread of problems in the bowels of our largest aircraft carrier, the mullahs in Iran may be breathing easier for now… or maybe not.

Heh. I see what you did there, ya big turd.

The future is here!

Or at Hill AF Base, at any rate.

America Airlifts Its Nuclear Future as Pentagon Delivers Microreactor in Historic C-17 Mission
A C-17 Globemaster III lifted off from March Air Reserve Base in California on Sunday carrying cargo that would have seemed like science fiction a generation ago: a next-generation nuclear reactor, bound for testing in Utah. The reactor was flown to Hill Air Force Base in Utah and is expected to be transported to the Utah San Rafael Energy Lab in Orangeville for testing and evaluation, marking a turning point in America’s race to reclaim energy dominance.

The airlift wasn’t just a logistics operation. It was a declaration that the United States intends to win the advanced nuclear race while China builds Generation IV reactors and the rest of the developed world stumbles through energy crises of their own making. President Donald Trump’s executive order to modernize America’s nuclear energy infrastructure and strengthen U.S. national security set this moment in motion, and the Department of War wasted no time executing the mission.

The reactor being transported is part of a collaboration between the Pentagon and Valar Atomics, a California-based startup founded by 25-year-old Isaiah Taylor. The company’s Ward 250 reactor represents a fundamentally different approach to nuclear power: small, transportable, factory-built units that can be deployed wherever they’re needed rather than massive installations that take decades to construct. For military installations that currently depend on vulnerable civilian power grids or diesel generators, the implications are profound.

For the military, reliance on diesel generators when deployed and local electric grids here at home is widely viewed as a significant national security threat. Every forward operating base running on fuel convoys is a target. Every domestic installation tied to the civilian grid is one cyberattack away from going dark. The microreactor solution eliminates both vulnerabilities. These units can be transported by C-17, set up at remote locations, and provide reliable power independent of supply lines or grid infrastructure.

Lots of very intriguing, very enheartening stuff in this one, folks. Bottom line:

The image of a nuclear reactor loaded into a C-17 represents more than technological capability. It represents a shift in how America approaches both energy and national security. For too long, those domains were treated as separate concerns, managed by bureaucracies more interested in process than results. The Trump administration’s executive orders and the military’s execution of programs like Janus reflect a different calculation: that energy security and military readiness are inseparable, and that restoring American dominance in both requires breaking old patterns.

Whether Valar Atomics ultimately succeeds or another company takes the lead matters less than the broader trajectory. The reactor sitting in Utah for testing is proof that America can still move quickly when leadership decides that winning matters more than managing decline. The question now is whether that momentum continues or whether it gets buried under the same regulatory and political obstacles that have paralyzed American energy development for half a century.

Time will tell, as ever. Either way, it’s good to know that SecWar Hegseth is working on it for us in accordance with the tasking set forth by President Trump, with eyes set firmly on the road ahead and not the dim and distant past.

Trump’s best hire?

Can only be the remarkable Marco Rubio for SecState. He just went to Munich and demonstrated why.

Rubio on Fire! We Won’t Be ‘Polite and Orderly Caretakers of the West’s Managed Decline’
Rubio told European leaders that the post–Cold War era is over, that the “euphoria of this triumph led us to a dangerous delusion: that we had entered, quote, ‘the end of history;’ that every nation would now be a liberal democracy; that the ties formed by trade and by commerce alone would now replace nationhood; that the rules-based global order – an overused term – would now replace the national interest; and that we would now live in a world without borders where everyone became a citizen of the world.”

He said that this idea was foolish and “ignored both human nature and it ignored the lessons of over 5,000 years of recorded human history.”

While championing the Donald Trump administration’s America-First foreign policy, he also reaffirmed the bond between our nations, saying that the Western Hemisphere may be our home, but we’re a child of Europe, and we share history, culture, and heritage. “We belong together,” he said.

But he also made it clear that the world has reached a turning point and course correction is required. Europe must save itself because, “we in America have no interest in being polite and orderly caretakers of the West’s managed decline.”

“The fundamental question we must answer at the outset is what exactly are we defending, because armies do not fight for abstractions. Armies fight for a people; armies fight for a nation. Armies fight for a way of life,” he said. “And that is what we are defending: a great civilization that has every reason to be proud of its history, confident of its future, and aims to always be the master of its own economic and political destiny.”

Rubio also spoke of how “we can no longer place the so-called global order above the vital interests of our people and our nations,” and how we must reform global institutions. He used the United Nations as an example, explaining that it has potential to be a “tool for good” but right now, it’s basically useless.

Great, GREAT stuff from the man Trump blithely dismissed as “Little Marco,” hurled right into the teeth of the dying Eurolion in his very den. At this point, I’m happy to say that Trump was all wet on that one; as he has shown again and again during his tenure at State, Marco Rubio is anything BUT “little.”

How we win

If you stand up to them, they will scurry away like the nasty little cockroaches they are.

It’s hard to believe that all we had to do to change the military was to stop backing down.

We went from a disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan to snatching rogue heads of state in their sleep.

Ending nuclear threats with stunning precision.

Reducing drug deaths in America by orders of magnitude.

And through it all, the ranks swell with recruits. Why?

Because America loves winning, and responds accordingly.

And the only battle casualties belong to the enemy.

Our standards are unforgiving and the results are unforgettable.

Credit where it’s due to the Secretary of War @PeteHegseth, and the force that remembers what it can do when they’re allowed to do it.

Our current reality is unrecognizable from over a year ago. And for that, I am thankful. And I know I’m not alone in thinking that.

Key line here would have to be “…the force that remembers what it can do when they’re allowed to do it,” in my estimation. As for the plaudits for Hegseth, I have to say they’re richly deserved. Far as I know, the guy hasn’t put a foot wrong as SecWar yet.

Reserve Currency – What you’ve heard is BS

“The BRICS countries are going to redefine the reserve currency”
“The Chinese Renminbi is going to be the new reserve currency”

You’ve heard it and it is all bullshit promoted by anti-American conmen. Brics are countries like South Africa, Egypt, and Ethiopia, with absolutely nothing to contribute. As for the others, like China – you want to be holding an unstable currency? Of course not, nor does anyone else.

Which is why the dollar remains KING, currently at 58% of the worlds reserve currency holding, and the euro coming next at 1/3 of the USA, roughly 20%. After that it’s all small ball at 6% or less. China is 2% – who wants to hold the renminbi when the chinaman may very well devalue it at anytime?

And all this was taking place with the US under marxist control for many years, devastating our economy.

And now, it is just going to go back up. It peaked at around 70% back about year 2000. I expect to see it even higher in a couple years as the American economy begins taking off*.

Shit circus

Since everybody’s talking about Somalia and Somalis these days, here’s some seriously gripping stuff straight from the mouth of a man who was there, right in the thick of things.

Via Tactical Hermit.

Update! Probably shouldn’t even bring this up, but we had a HUGE CF fan and regular reader who also happened to be one of the Blackhawk pilots caught up that day in the chaotic maelstrom of intrepid warriors left to twist in the wind by careerist senior officers, conniving DoD rumpswabs, and vacillating, cowardly ProPols—an old, old story all too familiar to every US serviceman, from whatever branch, conflict, and/or era.

Anyhoo, I corresponded with this fella regularly for several years, got no idea where he might be now though. The inside stories of flying Blackhawks in both Mogadishu and elsewhere he related to me over those years I will NEVER forget, although he did make me solemnly swear not to say a word about it lest he wind up court-martialed for revealing classified informaion to a cake-eating civilian.

The Blackhawk Down saga is a heartrending revelation of how very far America had fallen by then—a downfall which has only worsened in the years since. If you haven’t seen the movie, you really, really need to correct that immediately. It will depress you, it will enrage you, it will discomfit and disturb you…but the incredible courage of those valiant American fighting men foolishly, callously dropped into the pot by so-called “leaders” unfit to carry their fucking jockstraps will amaze you no end. By the end of the flick, it’s the casual, dauntless bravery of those warriors that stays with you.

And if you didn’t already loathe and despise Jimmeh Peanuthead, I guar-on-damn-TEE that you will after watching this intense, perfectly-crafted movie. While we’re at it, fuck that goddamned brother-humping Ilhan Omar cunt-fart all to Hell and gone, too. Calls for a re-post of this timely classic, I do believe.

Heh. Make it so, Number One.

How it is fucking DONE

Looks as if there might possibly be a little life left in the old town yet.

NYC serial spitter bloodied in street-style justice during epic beatdown: ‘Worse than jail’
Anthony Caines — the sicko busted by the NYPD for allegedly spitting in the faces of white women who passed him in Williamsburg — has apparently been on the receiving end of some street-style justice.

Video footage shared on social media showed two men beating and kicking a man who appeared to be accused spitter Caines, 45, outside of a hair salon on Sixth Street.

It was unclear when the footage was shot.

Caines, curled up on the sidewalk in a defensive fetal position, is dealt multiple blows by the two attackers, whose faces are never shown.

The two men laugh to themselves as they kick Caines and stomp on his legs.

Caines is heard wailing in pain during the beatdown.

The clip quickly cuts to an image of Caines with a large gash on his forehead, above his left eye. Blood streams down his face as the men issue a final warning.

Yes, the Post report includes a capture from that part of the clip, and it is GLORIOUS.

“Stop violating these females out here, you heard?” the man filming the footage tells him.

“We’re tired of that s–t,” the man explains. “You’re making us look bad.”

Caines appeared to confirm he understood, before saying, “I went to jail, didn’t I?”

“F–k jail — we’re worse than jail,” the man yells before delivering one last punch to his head.

You tell ‘im, boys. Yawp all you like about “vigilante justice,” but it’s a dead cert that Hell will freeze over before Mr Psycho-Spook hocks another loogie in that locality again. In fact, uness he lives there himself, I very much doubt he’ll ever so much as show his face in Williamsburgh again.

Over the target

Bombs away!

Generals Are Whining That Hegseth Has ‘Lost’ Them, but the Facts Say They’ve Lost the Plot
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth is the subject of another scurrilous article claiming, without proof or evidence, that he has lost the trust and confidence of the flag and general officer corps. A story in the Washington Times uses mostly anonymous sources to make the claim that Hegseth, “has lost the trust and respect of some top military commanders, with his public “grandstanding” widely seen as unprofessional and the personnel moves made by the former cable TV host leading to an unprecedented and dangerous exodus of talent from the Pentagon, said current senior military officers and current and former Defense Department officials.” The whole article tells a different story.

The core of the critique seems to be that Hegseth is incapable of thinking above the level of an infantry major, and that keeps him from focusing on real stuff like, well, we don’t know.

Follows, one long, loud, whine from these precious Deep State poseurs. To be perfectly honest, there might possibly be something in this world I give less of a shit about than what the Perfumed Princes of the Puzzle Palace think about anything at all, but if there is I’m sure I don’t know what it might be. Streiff has a little something he’d like to say as regards Mordor On The Potomac’s fearsome Chairborne (Rump) Rangers senior leadership caste, every word of which cuts like a Sykes-Fairbairn fighting knife.

The criticism boils down to basically a lot of people don’t like Hegseth’s style. The only damage they can come up with is an exodus of other FOGOs and senior civilians who have been told to leave. In their mind, this defenestration of deadwood and resistance is a loss of talent. It isn’t because those slots will be filled by people who want to do the job right. I thought the resistance to the concept of a “color- and gender-blind meritocracy” was particularly instructive and shows just how deep Marxist rot has invaded the military.

I’d also offer that the criticisms of his focus on appearance and fitness belie the fact that far too many of our senior officers don’t really care about discipline, esprit, or technical competence. If the standard for lacing boots is left-over-right, I can walk into any unit and tell immediately how well the chain of command works. If standards for height, weight, and physical fitness and beards are not enforced, you can bet your bottom dollar that maintenance, logistics, personnel, and a whole bunch of other systems are broken. You can also bet that a military without attention to detail will not focus on winning wars, but on getting the most medals. In the words of a man who knew about war, General George S. Patton, Jr.: “There is only one sort of discipline—perfect discipline. Men cannot have good battle discipline and poor administrative discipline.” He also said, “You cannot be disciplined in great things and undisciplined in small things.”

So self-evidently correct you can’t help but be embarrassed on behalf of GEN Curtis J Rumpswab, BRIG GEN Jennifer D Rottencrotch, and MAJ GEN Kwan’zaalishious’ “Lightnin” McCorkle VII for needing to have it read back to them one more time.

Let the Pentagon’s flabby, overpromoted, medal-chasing flag officer corps get back to us when they’ve actually won something more impressive than a free medium coffee from Dunkin Donuts in recognition of their many years of customer loyalty. As far as these abject failures feeling all butthurt over Sec Hegseth serving notice that their only easy day was yesterday, hopefully their “personal honor” has been traduced badly enough to leave them no choice but to resign their commissions and vacate their positions. Without these jackasses, who knows, we might actually be able to win a war for a change.

The Beginning of the End of Islamic Terror

That’s how I see it.
Thanks to the vision of President Trump and the tenaciousness of the Israeli’s, today we have:

Hamas destroyed and utterly defeated.
Hezbollah dead and unable to mount any military action.
Iran’s hopes for nukes are done. They know it.
Syria is dead and no threat.
Iraq is dead and no threat.

The remainder of the ME countries are dedicated to making peace with Israel and the wider world.

Israel has not been in this good of shape, less threatened, since the beginning of Israel. The threat of war is over.

President Trump understands that a peaceful ME is good for America and bad for her enemies – the chinese and russians, and the marxist left within.

The great Schlichter has a few words, perhaps his best ever:
…Utter Humiliation of Palestinian Terrorists…

Mega-dittos!

Eeyore makes essentially the same point I tried to get across last night…except he makes a better, more concise, and far more cohesive job of it than I did, or frankly could.

A quick note about Pete Hegseth’s speech to the US military brass the other day.

It’s a sad and terrible sign that it takes 45 minutes to explain what is obviously true, and has been true for all of human history and across all cultures. The merit principle always leads to victory and best results. Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth had to reiterate that basic idea multiple times over 45 minutes. Not because he is inarticulate, but because the US, thanks to communist subversion for close to a hundred years, has inculcated the military and all US and Western institutions with the most failure prone ideas in order to create failure. It has gone so far, that men who simply say they are women can compete against women in sports and use that claim to indulge in sexual fantasies at the expense of unwilling women in bathrooms and changing rooms. Standards have been lowered, which was the real point of DEI, such that any meaningful effort to solve a problem would be increasingly difficult, and should a Western effort come up against a foreign one such as Russia or China where the most obvious truths are still in effect, the Western effort would lose. That is of course, unless Russia and China would allow our Beta males to compete with their women in physical competition. Then we would win. But somehow I can’t…

Preach it, brother, preach it.

Might it come to pass that, years from now, the historic Hegseth Address will be regarded by everyone possessed of a thimbleful of becoming humility, honorable intentions, and a kindly nature as a real turning point in an emergent American Renaissance? To rejigger a phrase originally coined by a certain extravagantly braggadocious and baselessly conceited ex-POTUS of indeterminate sexuality: is this the moment when the Red tide began to ebb, dangerously overheated Leftist tempers began to cool, and the bloody,  battered, and bruised American soul began to heal?

SO. To continue in like vein, then: could this be the moment when the Goosesteppin’ Left began to see, understand, and accept that Real Americans will never A) yield to despair; B) take counsel of their fears and declare themselves well and truly beaten; C) stack arms; and D) formally and fully concede defeat in the long war against neverendimg Progressivist predation, half-clever, poorly thought out, and blatantly hostile Leftiard skullduggery, and the ever-escalating demands spritzed wildly in all directions from the foam-flecked maws of insatiably greedy Lefty loons?

Does our rough-hewn, distinctly American resolve that yes, we will see it through to the very end, even if said end might well be a bitter one; a steely determination which so inspires and enheartens us that we can rise to any challenge, go through, over, or around any obstacle, face down any foe—all these excellent things, in concert with a Brobdingnagian strength of character, body, spirit, and will—does this impressive array of powerful weaponry both conceptual and physical of necessity mean that Leftists must now come up with brand-new strategies, tralblazing tactics, loftier ambitions, and fresh, innovative modes of thought if they seriously hope to retain even a smidge of real influence in American politics, a choice as to how, where, and with whom they shail live, and/or a consequential say in how this nation is to be governed?

i dont know how optimistic I’m prepared to be about the possibility of bringing about real, lasting, and positive change through the political/legislative/judicial/electoral process. But I do know this: I support Pete Hegseth a thousand and two percent. He’s The Man, far as I’m concerned, and whether or not TPTB will allow him to get much of anything done in the relatively short time he has to do it, not to mention the emeti0c cacophonyl of hard-core objection, opposition, and knee-jerk rejection to/of MAJ Hegseth’s words, ideas, goals, plans, even himself personally blariingnonstop from Mordor On The Potomac. Don’t care; let the Dark Lord bring on his mighty legions of trolls, winged Nazgul, and Orcs most foul. STILL don’t care, not the leastt little bit I don’t. Me, I’m behind SecWar Hegseth all the way, no matter what.

DON’T DARE TOUCH THAT DIAL! Stay tuned to this channel for the thrilling conclusion of tonight’s amazing tale of adventure, heroism, courage, and forbidden romance!

I am left with nauseating near-conviction that I am a member of the last generation in the history of the world that is minimally truly free."
Donald Sensing

"The only way to live free is to live unobserved."
Etienne de la Boiete

"History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid."
Dwight D. Eisenhower

"To put it simply, the Left is the stupid and the insane, led by the evil. You can’t persuade the stupid or the insane and you had damn well better fight the evil."
Skeptic

"There is no better way to stamp your power on people than through the dead hand of bureaucracy. You cannot reason with paperwork."
David Black, from Turn Left For Gibraltar

"If the laws of God and men, are therefore of no effect, when the magistracy is left at liberty to break them; and if the lusts of those who are too strong for the tribunals of justice, cannot be otherwise restrained than by sedition, tumults and war, those seditions, tumults and wars, are justified by the laws of God and man."
John Adams

"The limits of tyranny are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress."
Frederick Douglass

"Give me the media and I will make of any nation a herd of swine."
Joseph Goebbels

“I hope we once again have reminded people that man is not free unless government is limited. There’s a clear cause and effect here that is as neat and predictable as a law of physics: As government expands, liberty contracts.”
Ronald Reagan

"Ain't no misunderstanding this war. They want to rule us and aim to do it. We aim not to allow it. All there is to it."
NC Reed, from Parno's Peril

"I just want a government that fits in the box it originally came in."
Bill Whittle
