For some odd reason theoretical debate among conservatives has devolved into the discussions between David French and Sohrab Ahmari. Yet both are gun controllers – therefore not real conservatives. As I often say: Second Amendment, First Freedom. If you can’t own a gun to defend yourself and your family, you’re not free. What good is the rest of the Bill of Rights if you don’t have the arms, personally, to defend those rights? Ahmari, to use older terms, is supposed to be the more “social conservative” of the two. Yet social conservatism (contrasted with “strong defense” conservatism and “economic freedom”...

What do we do? My friends and I have been talking about it for a long time, especially out here in California, which is way farther down the road to ruin than the rest of America.  Although usually voting Republican since my first election in 1974, I long avoided joining the Party, except for brief periods to vote in the primaries for Pat Buchanan or Ron Paul. I prized being an “independent,” especially as I was a journalist. But in early 2015 I permanently jointed the Republican Party, to my friends quoting Rhett Butler, “Why? Maybe it’s because I’ve always...

It wasn’t supposed to be this way. Alexander Hamilton called the Supreme Court “the least dangerous branch” in Federalist 78. They key was Marbury v. Madison, which Alexander Bickel and others showed was based on dubious jurisprudence. But that case gave the court almost unlimited power to change the Constitution. A lawyer friend of mine told me his constitutional law professor taught the budding young Clarence Darrows, “The Constitution is what the Supreme Court says it is.” And in almost every case, the court follows what the Establishment Elite tell it to do. Joe Sobran used to point out how...

I call it the Rancid Ruling Elite because its main goal now is to destroy what’s left of Christian Civilization. Other names for it are the Deep State, the Establishment, Ike’s Military-Industrial Complex or, from the 60s, The System. Let’s look at some of the RRE’s recent actions. By far the best Democratic candidate for president is Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii. Yet the RRE froze her out of the next debate, meaning her unique voice on foreign policy won’t get heard. Shouldn’t voters hear what she thinks about the possible deal Trump is working out with the Taliban to finally, after...

I don’t own a TV. But during the last week I occasionally have been watching the TV news, which has been dominated by the killings in El Paso and Dayton. FoxNews has been defensive; even Tucker Carlson, by far the best host. CNN, which is nothing but lies. As Tucker said, CNN and other networks – as well as the NY Times, WaPo, etc. – replaced the Russia Hoax with the Racism Hoax. Although I haven’t watched it continuously, which would have landed me in nearby Hoag Hospital’s psych unit, from what I could tell CNN never mentioned the Dayton...
