A Major Shift in the JFK Assassination
President Biden’s recent decision to permit the CIA to continue keeping its 59-year-old records relating to the Kennedy assassination secret from the American people has brought about a public backlash that has not been seen since the enactment of the JFK Records Act in 1992. This major shift is a tremendously positive development in the […]
The Censorious Scott Gottlieb Was a Major Influence on Lockdowns
The latest of the Twitter Files is reported by Alex Berenson, who was granted access to messaging systems from the times before Elon Musk took over. His first round of reporting concerns the role of Scott Gottlieb, who is a perfect example of an influencer who is technically outside of government but might as well […]
Math Lessons Are Racist, as per the Gates Foundation
When you were in 4th grade frantically completing a timed multiplication test, if you were any color other than white, you were being oppressed by the pressure to get it done quickly. Were you penalized for an incorrect answer? Doubly oppressed! Was your grade lowered because your handwriting was illegible on your answers? No doubt, […]
Top Gun: Maverick: Our America Is Back
This sequel to a film many critics found risible in 1986 is a Best Picture Oscar nominee. How did that happen? The surprise hit of 2022 was Top Gun: Maverick, a man and machine heroic picture, sentimental and nostalgic, the sort of thing Hollywood just doesn’t do anymore. At first glance it seemed way too […]
Weekend Read: Adam Smith’s Liberal Path
The title “The Godly Path to Adam Smith’s Liberal Plan” refers to Smith’s politics. He put it this way: “allowing every man to pursue his own interest his own way, upon the liberal plan of equality, liberty and justice.” My topic is the Godly path. When does it begin? One answer is with what is told of […]
HILLSDALE’S IMPRIMIS -The Twitter Files Reveal an Existential Threat
Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter last October and the subsequent reporting on the Twitter Files by journalists Matt Taibbi, Bari Weiss, and a handful of others beginning in early December is one of the most important news stories of our time. The Twitter Files story encompasses, and to a large extent connects, every major political […]
Who Determines Your Happiness?
In their sagacity, our founders recognized the God-given right to define and pursue one’s own happiness. As the Declaration of Independence avers: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit […]
My Experience with Hush Money
Not to brag, but Bragg has nothing on me. Circa 1985, I flew from New York to Chicago to deliver a check for $25,000, or $70,000 in today’s money. It was a payoff to keep someone silent. It was one of the scores of payoffs that I had made up to that date and would […]
Why Gold Is Such an Effective Weapon Against the Government’s Monetary Schemes
Ron Paul: “Because gold is honest money it is disliked by dishonest men.” Buying physical gold is a time-proven method of securing generational wealth, and a security measure often taken in times of economic turbulence. Gold investing has long been viewed as a hedge against inflation and a store of value against currencies. Throughout history, […]
Musk to Build New Chinese Factory, Despite CCP Crimes and Abuses
Twitter Inc. has apparently changed its name to the highly unimaginative X Corp., but that, in my opinion, isn’t the most important news this week related to Tesla and Twitter CEO Elon Musk. Musk is once again selling out his supposed pro-free speech humanitarian principles for profit. If a country’s government is committing genocide and […]
