Court unleashes stunning ruling that could impact Jan. 6 convictions * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh
Court unleashes stunning ruling that could impact Jan. 6 convictions * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh:
But, he continued, "Hamstringing the government is the whole point of our Constitution. Our Founders recognized that the government will not always be comprised of publicly spirited officers – and that even good faith actors can be overcome by the zealous pursuit of legitimate public interests. 'If men were angels, no government would be necessary.' The Federalist No. 51 … 'If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary.' But 'experience has taught mankind the necessity of auxiliary precautions.' It's because of 'human nature' that it's 'necessary to control the abuses of government.'"
Solzhenitsyn: ‘The next war may well bury Western civilization forever’ - Daniel Lattier
In 1978, Alexander Solzhenitsyn was invited to give the commencement address at Harvard University.
- What he offered to the students and faculty some forty years ago was not your typical graduation speech filled with banal platitudes.
Instead—in a perhaps unsurprising move for a Russian who spent 11 years in labor camps and exile—he offered them one of the most sobering and penetrating diagnoses of the West in recent history.
And what was his diagnosis?
That the West is in decline...
And what was his diagnosis?
That the West is in decline...
“A decline in courage may be the most striking feature which an outside observer notices in the West in our days. The Western world has lost its civil courage, both as a whole and separately, in each country, each government, each political party, and, of course, in the United Nations.”...

EXCLUSIVE: Feds caught MANIPULATING images at Trump shooting | Blaze Media:
Baker pulled screenshots from the videos he obtained, and one of them is incredibly suspicious.
One man is pictured in plain clothes, with a weapon in his hand and a badge around his neck. When Baker zoomed in to see details on the badge, he found it’d been blurred out. Not only that, but the black around the badge had been digitally reshaped.
“Otherwise we would be able to identify what the badge was, just by its shape. Just by the badge,” Baker explains.
The man was also dressed like several other undercover cops — and so was someone else.
“The bottom line is that for some reason, Crooks showed up dressed like undercover cops,” Baker says. “Did he know that he was covered by what he was wearing? I have to ask those questions, right? If I don’t ask those questions, I’m not being honest even with myself.”

Well, now Britain has numerous white riots of its own, all across the country, following the recent mass stabbing of little girls at a dance class in the seaside town of Southport on 29 July, the named suspect for which is a supposed “Welshman” of black Rwandan parentage...
The specific way schools teach white kids “how to be thick” is by grooming them into supinely obeying the laws set up by their parliamentary overlords to keep them in their place.
- The message is clear: By ignoring these same laws and rioting, non-whites often seem to get exactly what they want these days, with apparent impunity. So wouldn’t it be perfectly rational for native white folk to do the same, as the Clash once advised? Not necessarily…

Major medical association breaks from the herd on the issue of sex-change mutilations for kids | Blaze Media:
The American Society of Plastic Surgeons, several of whose members are currently being sued by detransitioners, has reportedly distanced itself from the practice of providing children with sex-change mutilations, casting doubt on such procedures' value and efficacy.
The organization, which represents roughly 11,000 members in the U.S. and Canada, recently told Manhattan Institute fellow Leor Sapir that it "has not endorsed any organization's practice recommendations for the treatment of adolescents with gender dysphoria" — an apparent reference to the recommendations advanced by the radical and scandal-plagued World Professional Association of Transgender Health.
