For three years, and without evidence, The New York Times falsely claimed that Donald Trump's presidential campaign colluded with Russia to steal the 2016 election. Thereafter, their hopelessly biased executive editor, Dean Baquet, decided to switch gears. After the Mueller report imploded, at Baquet's direction, the Times would shift its focus of its coverage from the 'Trump-Russia affair' to the president's 'alleged racism.' "We built our newsroom to cover one story, and we did it truly well," Baquet said, apparently unaware of the historically profound idiocy of his statement. "Now we have to regroup, and shift resources and emphasis to take on a different story.”…

Friend of Liberty,As a fellow intelligent patriot, I’d like to send you a Bet       esign of this flag, with its 13 stripes and 13 stars—representing America’s original 13 colonies—dates to the American Revolution.The Betsy Ross flag evokes the Founding Era. A time where the principles of the Declaration of Independence were first set forth: that “all men are created equal,” that they are “endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, [and] that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”These principles have been a source of unity and pride among all Americans throughout most of…

   In the early days of the pandemic, President Trump made headlines when he reportedly tried to secure rights to a vaccine from German developer CureVac on behalf of the US government—a move that stirred questions about equity and justice. Should the United States get priority access to the Covid vaccine just because we are the world’s wealthiest nation? Shouldn’t the most vulnerable—no matter their nationality or salary—get vaccinated first? “Capitalism has its limits,” one German lawmaker noted in a widely reported tweet. Had Trump succeeded, the deal might also have sent another stark message about economic inequality—delivering a financial windfall to…

Trump’s call for the Proud Boys and other armed far-right paramilitaries to “stand by” has finally shed light on the real threat of physical intimidation around the election, to add to the threats of cyberattacks and abuses of the legal system. His call to arms is also a reminder why calling far-right domestic terrorists merely “vigilantes” minimizes and even trivializes the threat, for several reasons. A vigilante can be defined as “a member of a volunteer committee organized to suppress and punish crime summarily (as when the processes of law are viewed as inadequate),” or more broadly “a self-appointed doer…

On August 26, during the Republican National Convention, Vice President Mike Pence closed his acceptance speech with a biblical sleight of hand. Speaking before a crowd at the Fort McHenry National Monument in Baltimore, he exclaimed, “Let’s fix our eyes on Old Glory and all she represents. Let’s fix our eyes on this land of heroes and let their courage inspire.” In doing so, he essentially rewrote a passage from the New Testament book of Hebrews: “Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross.” There’s nothing…
