It took a bold conservative party called Alternative for Deutschland to dramatically and decisively unseat the left wing Christian Democratic Party after years of smug complacency. The popularity of the AfD surged primarily in the eastern sections of Germany that endured a brutal and soul crushing communist regime. They thoroughly and clearly understand what the Globalists running the EU in Brussels and the Christian Democratic Party were cynically and greedily doing to tightly keep their hands on power and government corruption. The Christian Democratic Party has relentlessly and shamelessly done nothing but a vicious disinformation campaign to smear the AfD claiming they are Nazis and ultra right wing fanatics. The AfD is far more like a party of George Orwell in its clear eyed truth telling. The Christian Democratic Party has finally and humiliatingly been exposed for what it truly is.  The German people have utterly and completely had enough of illegal immigration by Third W...

Let me begin with the fact that accused killer David Burke is presumed to be innocent until proven guilty by a court of law.  Today, Monday, August 31, 2026, in Los Angeles County Superior Court, David Anthony Burke (known professionally as D4vd) obtained new legal representation for his murder case.  During a pre-trial/arraignment hearing before Judge Charlaine Olmedo, his private defense team (including high-profile attorneys Blair Berk, Marilyn Bednarski, and Regina Peter) withdrew.  I suspect that this was about his inability to pay what Blair Berk demanded as a retainer. The motion to withdraw and substitute council was held in judicial Chambers and the record of what went on has been sealed by the court.  I’m sure that Mr. Burke was ordered to liquidate assets and pay a lesser amount to the public defender.   Burke confirmed in open court that he wanted the Los Angeles County Public Defender’s Office to represent him instead. The judge granted the request ...

On May 4, 1886, socialist and anarchist labor activists assembled at Chicago's Haymarket Square during the bitter campaign for an eight-hour workday. When police ordered the gathering dispersed, someone hurled a bomb into their ranks. Chaotic gunfire followed. Eight Chicago police officers ultimately died from injuries attributed to the attack: Mathias J. Degan, John J. Barrett, George F. Miller, Timothy J. Flavin, Michael Sheehan, Thomas Redden, Nels Hansen, and Timothy Sullivan. Fifty-nine other officers were wounded. August Spies, Albert Parsons, Adolph Fischer, and George Engel were convicted of murder under conspiracy and accomplice-liability theories and hanged on November 11, 1887. Louis Lingg killed himself the previous day. The unidentified bomber was never tried, and none of the executed men was proven to have thrown the bomb. Were they hanged for speech? Technically, no. They were convicted of murder based on an alleged conspiracy to promote and encourage revolutionary v...

On October 5, 2026, the first Monday in October, the United States Supreme Court will begin a new term. This will not be an ordinary term for the Second Amendment. The Court has agreed to hear two major constitutional challenges involving bans on commonly owned semiautomatic rifles: Viramontes v. County of Cook , No. 25-238, challenges Cook County, Illinois’s ban on AR-15 platform rifles and similar semiautomatic firearms. National Association for Gun Rights v. Lamont , No. 25-421, challenges Connecticut’s ban on AR-15-style rifles and magazines holding more than ten rounds. These are not cases about machine guns. They are not cases about military weapons smuggled from an armory. They concern ordinary semiautomatic firearms owned by millions of law-abiding Americans for lawful purposes. The constitutional collision has finally arrived. In New York State Rifle & Pistol Ass’n, Inc. v. Bruen , 597 U.S. 1 (2022), the Supreme Court demolished the interest-balancing test that lowe...

The European Union was sold as a project of trade, cooperation, and peace. What Europe received was an unelected bureaucratic empire increasingly determined to dictate immigration policy, regulate speech, override national sovereignty, and force independent nations into one obedient political mold. Naturally, this is called “progress.” Liberty always receives a pleasant new label just before the political class confiscates it. Socialism and communism remain fashionable among European elites despite a historical record written in prisons, firing squads, secret police files, mass graves, and millions of dead citizens. Apparently, the lesson was not that centralized power produces tyranny. The lesson was that the wrong intellectuals were in charge. These systems cannot tolerate genuine liberty. Free speech exposes them. Due process restrains them. Private firearm ownership frightens them. An independent population is difficult to intimidate, manipulate, or rule by decree. Former German Ch...

It is time for court reporters to surrender to technology. The rest of civilization has discovered digital recording, searchable documents, cloud storage, and instantaneous electronic delivery. Courtrooms, meanwhile, remain fiercely committed to conducting business as though the fax machine were a dangerous new invention. Yes, replacing traditional stenographic reporting would require substantial changes to court rules across the country. That is not a reason to preserve an antiquated and unnecessarily expensive system. Rules exist to serve justice. Justice does not exist to protect a government-sponsored jobs program. Judges and court reporters have worked together for decades, and many judges understandably trust the reporters they know. But institutional friendship is not a legitimate reason to force litigants, defendants, attorneys, journalists, and members of the public to wait days or weeks and pay substantial fees for access to words spoken in a public courtroom. Modern techn...
