Depiction of immigrants travelling on foot

Modern Slavery: A Progressive’s Guide (… Guise?)

February 3, 2025 No Comments

A wealthy white couple’s casual justification of paying undocumented workers $5 per hour exposes the hypocrisy within certain progressive circles. While claiming liberal values and pro-immigration stances, they openly advocate for labor exploitation, dismissing comparisons to slavery by arguing “slaves were treated much worse.” Their aggressive defense of these contradictions, combined with elitist attitudes and disdain for “common folks,” reveals how some privileged liberals have created a playbook for modern exploitation while maintaining a progressive facade. Meanwhile, families spend thousands on legal immigration, highlighting the disconnect between claimed values and actual practices.

Black Lives Matter, But Not As Much As The Pockets Of The Group’s Founders

January 28, 2025 No Comments

Black Lives Matter (BLM) was founded to combat systemic racism and police brutality but has been marred by controversy. The movement gained prominence leading to protests that often turned violent, causing financial and social damage. Despite receiving millions, allegations of financial mismanagement and self-enrichment surfaced, with little support reaching victims’ families. Their “Defund the Police” movement contributed to rising crime in Black communities. Families of victims have accused BLM of profiting from their tragedies while failing to provide assistance. Once seen as a force for change, the movement now faces scrutiny over its leadership’s transparency and accountability. Their noble intentions are in question.

Price of Leadership: Why Boldness Trumps Perfection

January 15, 2025 No Comments

Bold leaders thrive on risk-taking and raw authenticity, traits driven by biological factors like testosterone. These characteristics generate transformative results but invite controversy. Where conservative leaders leverage imperfection to shatter the status quo, progressives crumble under self-imposed “purity tests” that paralyze innovation. The decisive authenticity of leaders like Trump, Musk, and Branson creates deep loyalty—something progressives fail to achieve by choosing caution over courage. The truth stands: great leadership demands boldness and the will to disrupt, not manufactured perfection.

Small Token, Small Minds, Hollow Victories

January 14, 2025 No Comments

Tokens over truth: how the left obsesses over hollow victories. The left thrives on symbolic wins over substantive results—shiny but hollow baubles paraded as triumphs. From media spectacles around Trump’s court appearances to IRS audits where trivial errors become “victories,” the pattern is clear: the illusion of justice matters more than reality of fairness. Participation trophies in youth sports, meaningless degrees, protest shouting matches all reflect the same mindset—chasing appearances over achievement. Real progress demands results, accountability, and courage, not token trophies of self-righteousness.

Drain the Swamp?

December 31, 2024 No Comments

For years, Donald Trump has been the target of unprecedented hostility, the likes of which no other modern leader has endured. From the moment he promised to “drain the swamp,” the establishment—and its media allies—went into overdrive, pulling every conceivable lever to discredit, derail, and ultimately destroy him. Impeached not once but twice, investigated endlessly, vilified daily, and even shot—twice—Trump has faced relentless attacks. Yet, against the storm of slander, prosecution, and public ridicule, he has emerged as a symbol of resilience. Why does Trump evoke such hatred? The answer might just explain why the left is so desperate to destroy him—and why, love him or hate him, Trump remains a force to be reckoned with.

Human Trafficking: The Bad, The Ugly, and The Unthinkable

December 4, 2024 No Comments

This article explores the alarming issue of unaccompanied migrant children crossing the U.S. border and the government’s inability to account for tens of thousands of them. Between 2019 and 2023, over 32,000 minors failed to appear for immigration court hearings, and more than 291,000 were not issued Notices to Appear, leaving their status unknown. The lack of interagency coordination and resources raises concerns about exploitation, trafficking, and systemic failures, prompting calls for urgent reforms.

Infanticide? We’re Not Talking Abortion.

December 3, 2024 No Comments

When the ethicist Peter Singer proposed in 1993 that a newborn cannot be a “person” until 30 days old, it did so only as a rule. This unseemly plan involved granting doctors the power to euthanize disabled infants at the moment – a declaration that horrified people and shocked moral circles. Five years later, Singer had been made the Decamp Professor of Bio-Ethics at Princeton University, which made him credible in the eyes of the academy.
