The Moral Case for Less Gun Control
The idea of America is just as much a moral premise as a governmental structure. To fully understand that moral premise, we have to look to the Constitution’s rule of law. But we can’t stop there. We must go back 13 years, to the Declaration of Independence. Much of it detailed the “long train of […]
NRA Responds To Newtown Shooting
The NRA took a few days to respond to the shooting which was a wise move. For the most part, they address the tragedy thoughtfully, but some of the language they used is strange. The National Rifle Association of America is made up of four million moms and dads, sons and daughters – and we […]
Newtown
Evil fell upon Newtown, Connecticut this morning. No term other than evil will fit. Over two dozen were murdered, most of them mere babies, between the ages of 5 and 10. In light of this abomination, I was reminded of these lines I wrote just a few short months ago. The uncomfortable fact is that […]
…Another Man’s Treasure
Or: “Maxims, Idioms, and Saws (Oh, My!)” There are hundreds of maxims and idioms which have become commonplace in the American English lexicon. As such, they are all but universally accepted as almost having the weight of law. Those familiar with my radio shows and/or other writings here at The Trenches will know that I […]
QE4 (Quackery Escalating 4 Eva!)
Today the Federal Reserve scammers announced the latest round in its snake oil pitch… Quantitative Easing 4. QE3 brought us those lovely mortgage-backed securities (those never caused a problem before… oh wait…), and now they’re buying massive amounts of Treasury securities every month. Oy. Who pays the piper when it’s time to unload all these […]
Meet The 3 Unionists Who Attacked Steven Crowder Et Al In Lansing
We’re sure you’ve already heard of the attacks against Fox News contributor Steven Crowder. Sure, Steven made some rookie moves in a street fight scenario (don’t ever turn your back on people who’ve already attacked you), but he’s young and a good kid. I can say this because I’ve known Steven in real life for […]
(Power) Binge And (Threat) Purge
For the last six months here at The Trenches (and for many years before that, elsewhere), I have been sounding the alarm about those in the ranks of the GOP whose main intent is to steer it away from its creed. Their reasons for doing so have been exposed and demonstrated numerous times, and I’ll […]
Did FDR And His Cronies Steer America Into World War II? The Evidence Suggests That’s The Case
December 7, 1941 - a date which will live in infamy, but for what reasons? Documentation obtained through the Freedom of Information Act makes the case that FDR and his cronies architected a reason for America to enter World War II. In this post, Justin Raimondo writes: The truth is that, by the winter of […]
It’s Time To Break Up The Bad Romance Between Conservatives And Israel
We’re watching a typical fake truce in action in the Middle East right now. New rockets are on the way for Hamas and new Israeli settlements are being built further and further east. It’s only a matter of time before the next bloodletting begins. All of this has led me to question why exactly it’s […]
