Theodore Roosevelt’s Enduring Lesson: America Is No Accident
In an August 1901 speech, Theodore Roosevelt … Expounding on America’s greatness, he noted history does not stop. As generations follow each other, the future depends on each. “When we pay homage to the hardy, grim, resolute men who, with incredible toil and risk, laid deep the foundations of the civilization that we inherit, let us steadily remember … that the only homage that counts is homage of deeds – not merely words.”
DNC Faces Catastrophic Donor Revolt
As the 2026 midterms approach, the consensus among the pundit class is that the Democrats will retake control of the House of Representatives and possibly the Senate. But an all-out revolt from the Democrat donor class may complicate that picture. Democrats are indeed leading in the polls and running with a strong historical precedent that says the president’s party almost always loses seats in the midterms. According to recent FEC filings, however, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) is quite literally broke – and there is no precedent for winning a major national election without at least remaining competitive in the money game. As Politico reports, “The DNC is more than $2 million in debt,

Iran wants the US to pay war reparations as part of a future peace settlement. The US president rejects that – and instead says he intends to demand money from Iran in the peace negotiations.

Trump clarifies that he is referring to compensation for the families and loved ones of all those whose lives the Iranian regime has directly or indirectly had on its conscience. The president specifically mentions the terrorist network al-Qaeda’s deadly attack on the American warship USS Cole in 2000.
Democrats’ Frankenstein Turns: Communist Ghost Dance Now Set To Devour The Party
You can’t overstate the power of ideas, especially bad ideas, and super-especially bad ideas that are really just manifestations of emotional states such as envy, vengefulness, enmity, sloth, and greed. Did somebody say communism? A lot of people are saying it lately.

The Middle Eastern formula for ‘peace’ – Ignore Hamas and blame Israel
Foreign ministers of Arab and Islamic countries gathered in Jordan on August 5 and 6 to issue yet another series of condemnations of Israel. Reading their statements, one could easily conclude that there is only one party responsible for violence, instability, and suffering in the Middle East: Israel. Hamas? Barely relevant. The Hamas-led October 7, 2023, massacre? Apparently not worth mentioning. Palestinian terrorism and incitement against Israel? Not on the agenda.

Is a Global Financial Crash Starting In Japan?
The unraveling of the yen carry trade is accelerating, and that’s bad news for the global financial system.

Opening The Door to An Ideology That Revels in Chaos, Violence, And Reshaping the Fabric of Societies

Dr. Ashley Bloomfield is New Zealand’s Anthony Fauci
