Federalism: In Context, In Theory, and In Practice – Part 3

Bradley S. Rees — Sat, 05 Jan 2013 00:57:51 +0000

Part 3 – Practice This series began with a lengthy article exposing the latest attempt to circumvent the Constitution, under the rubric of “Progressive Federalism”. Another in-depth piece was posted yesterday, attempting to explain what Founding-era federalism actually is, as opposed to what we’ve been so carefully taught to believe. With that foundation laid down, [...]

Meet The 3 Unionists Who Attacked Steven Crowder Et Al In Lansing

Brooks Bayne — Wed, 12 Dec 2012 12:28:39 +0000

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

Bradley S. Rees — Mon, 10 Dec 2012 20:31:09 +0000

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 [...]

Walker V. Kimberlin: Virginia Case… DISMISSED

Brooks Bayne — Tue, 04 Dec 2012 20:29:48 +0000

Read our other post wherein Walker’s federal suit against Kimberlin in Maryland was dismissed last week and more backstory about this black comedy was provided. The “former” leftist bloggers who call themselves “conservatives” got another beatdown today in their fraudulent ZOMG-Kimberlin-will-killz-us-ALL blogger donation scams when Judge Richard B. Potter dismissed the Virginia lawsuit of Aaron “Walkerwitz” [...]

Of Penumbras, Patriotism, and Paradigms – Part 4

Bradley S. Rees — Mon, 03 Dec 2012 19:55:21 +0000

In the previous three installments in this series, I pointed out the aggressive ways in which Progressivism has insinuated its destructive ends into our society. In Part 1, I wrote about its deleterious effects on our courts. In Part 2, I explored the curious reactions some had to those court decisions. And, in Part 3, [...]

Democrats Want 22 Federal Agencies To Snoop In Your Email Without A Warrant

Brooks Bayne — Tue, 20 Nov 2012 19:58:46 +0000

This is a clear violation of the 4th Amendment, but that ‘s not stopping collectivist politicianistas from attempting to exact tyranny against you by violating your rights. It’s obvious that Democrats like Patrick Leahy don’t care about America’s founding principles or the Constitution. Here’s the text of the 4th Amendment: “The right of the people [...]

Neocon Bill Kristol Pimping His Marxist Agenda – Thinks You Need To Be Taxed More

Brooks Bayne — Mon, 12 Nov 2012 16:29:02 +0000

Yesterday Neocon Bill Kristol Appears On Fox To Tell Us ‘It Won’t Kill The Country If We Raise Taxes On Millionaires’ The pertinent part of the transcript: But I think honest debate, fresh thinking — leadership in the Republican Party and the leadership in the conservative movement has to pull back, let people float new [...]

WTF Happened Last Night?!

Bradley S. Rees — Wed, 07 Nov 2012 19:26:29 +0000

(Or, “Why didn’t our dumb asses anticipate the utterly predictable?”) In case you hadn’t noticed (from the massive selloff on Wall Street today), there was a pretty big election yesterday. President Barack Obama was granted another 4 years in the Oval Office. The Democrats retained their majority in the Senate, as well. The reaction in [...]

Van Jones Endorsed Website Touts a “Grand Strategy”, Including Mass Civil Disobedience

foolishreporter — Fri, 14 Sep 2012 17:59:33 +0000

It may seem strange, but I follow Van Jones, and oddly enough, he follows me back. We had something of an honest conversation awhile back regarding perceptions of him, and how he believes the right wing media machine distorts much of his messaging. I don’t quite remember how the rest of the conversation proceeded, but [...]

Of Penumbras, Patriotism, and Paradigms : Part 3 – Of Paradigms

Bradley S. Rees — Tue, 04 Sep 2012 16:20:15 +0000

(The Conclusion, Part 1 of 2) In Part 1 of this series, we delved into the nature of judicial tyranny, legislative malfeasance, executive fiat, and bureaucratic overreach. In Part 2, we highlighted a disturbing trend in modern America, where this extensive usurpation of the Constitution is seemingly dismissed or outright defended, albeit halfheartedly. And, mostly, unwittingly. [...]

Barack Obama’s Father Had Quite The Hard-On For Socialism

Brooks Bayne — Tue, 04 Sep 2012 01:19:18 +0000

As has been reported elsewhere, Obama’s father was a lover of Marxist ideology. In this document (embedded below) referenced in the new movie 2016, Obama’s pappy lays on the Karl with unashamed bravado: “…there is no limit to taxation if the benefits derived from public services by society measure up to the cost in taxation [...]

Ladies Man & @VanJones68′s Pal: Leftist #StopRush Activist Matt Edelstein AKA @Shoq Calls His Girlfriend An “Intolerant Cunt”

Brooks Bayne — Mon, 03 Sep 2012 04:49:32 +0000

Update! Here’s what Van Jones thinks of Matt Edelstein after being called out for his association with such a slimy character: @brooksbayne And ur point is …? I’m proud 2b friend & ally of @shoq. His tweets make America better. So he can name drop all he wants! — Van Jones (@VanJones68) September 1, 2012 [...]

Occupy Los Angeles: To Hell With Solidarity, But Wait… Free Food Stamps!!!

Brooks Bayne — Sat, 01 Sep 2012 13:35:03 +0000

I spent a few hours with the “occupiers” in Los Angeles on the lawn of city hall while on a homeschooling civics field trip with my son at the height of Occupy L.A. Most of the occupiers were dirty, confused, and they spent a lot of time fighting with one another over the organization of [...]

On “Infighting”

Bradley S. Rees — Mon, 27 Aug 2012 11:28:32 +0000

I’ve heard certain people bemoaning “infighting” for a long time. Years, in fact. I opined on it, at length, back in 2010, and I’d urge everyone to take a look at that piece, which is still relevant in many ways, even today. Lately, I’ve seen this sentiment from a very small group on Twitter, claiming [...]

Muslims Film the Beheading of Another Christian Convert

Brooks Bayne — Fri, 17 Aug 2012 23:42:16 +0000

From the Gatestone Institute: A young man appears held down by masked men. His head is pulled back, with a knife to his throat. He does not struggle and appears resigned to his fate. Speaking in Arabic, the background speaker, or “narrator,” chants a number of Muslim prayers and supplications, mostly condemning Christianity, which, because [...]

Celebrity One-Percenters Create Website to Remind Us How Awesome Obama Is

foolishreporter — Thu, 16 Aug 2012 23:36:38 +0000

There’s a new website out there aimed at trying to restore the flagging spirits of Obama supporters, with the intent being “(to) remind (his supporters) of all he has accomplished, and all he will do if given another term. They asked a wide range of cultural figures to explain why they’re voting for Obama [...]

Free Speech Is American. So Is Boycotting.

ashleyingram — Wed, 01 Aug 2012 18:42:40 +0000

I read a tweet recently that really resonated and stuck with me. “To boycott is American, to ban business from a city based on their religious beliefs is fascism”. I couldn’t agree more. This Chick-Fil-A banter going back and forth in America is exactly WHY I LOVE America. The first amendment in all of it’s [...]

Trenches Labs: How #TwitterGulag Works Part 2 – Seeing Active Blocks and Sweeps

SemperBanU — Tue, 31 Jul 2012 16:20:59 +0000

In our prior post in this series we replicated a Reply Trap for sending an account to TwitterGulag. If you are unfamiliar with TwitterGulag and how Twitter activists use the platform to silence opponents you should read that article first. For those familiar with TwitterGulag and account suspensions, that post showed just one of the [...]

The Chronicles of Strandedhan (Part 2 of Infinity: The Dark Side)

OleHickory — Fri, 27 Jul 2012 05:44:55 +0000

The Trenches have shown some immediate restraint in this Wild West of conservative combat. Not backing down from fire at the posse, but definitely being scarce on warning shots and revenge. It comes as no surprise that with Snagglepuss’s recent attacks, we’ve had to add another page to the chronicles of everyone’s favorite Don Quixote [...]
