THE DEPTH OF THE SWAMP: The American people want to know how corrupt their government is … at ALL levels!
Americans do want to know how corrupt their governments are at the local, state and federal levels. Sadly, it is worse than anyone can imagine.
Adam Andrzejewski pulled back the cover of obfuscation to reveal what’s behind the bureaucracy —

Is California the "BLUEprint" for the Rest of the Country?
Is California the "BLUEprint" for the rest of the country? The Golden State, once solidly red and Ronald Reagan conservative, has become the poster child for outrageous laws and dysfunction. California's controversial laws ("Sanctuary Cities," guns & ammo restrictions, doling out taxpayer-funded benefits to illegal immigrants, etc.)—all upheld by radical DAs and rogue courts—are spreading to the rest of the country.

The Permanent Coup Continues — Is President Trump the REAL target? Or is something more complex going on?
While Trump appears to be the most obvious target, Lee Smith, widely published commentator and author of the new book: The Permanent Coup: How Enemies Foreign and Domestic Targeted the American President, outlines how the Left's ongoing operations of chaos, rioting and misinformation are actually attacks against the foundation of our country, and every American who reveres it and what it stands for.

Coping with COVID - Quarantine, Vaccines, Liberty, and Public Policy
The response to Covid at all levels of government has been the wholesale evisceration of our constitutional rights: mask mandates, lockdowns, retail shutdowns, and, most recently, a near-universal house arrest. What is the legal basis for this unprecedented government intrusion on freedom? What is the limit on "emergency powers" in a never-ending emergency? And how will the availability of a vaccine affect the debate?

Salena Zito examines what she calls the "Conservative Populist" coalition that placed Donald Trump in office in 2016. It was not the black swan event many critics suggested it was.

Defender-in-Chief: Trump's Constitutional Battles
Berkeley Law Professor John Yoo is very comfortable around controversy, but voting for Donald Trump in 2016 was a step too far. Now he realizes he was wrong - that Trump campaigns like a populist, but governs like a constitutional conservative. One of America's best-known conservative constitutional scholars, Professor Yoo is the Emanuel Heller Professor of Law at the University of California at Berkeley, a Visiting Scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, and a Visiting Fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University.

Antifa's Revolt Against America
From coast to coast, a far-left revolutionary movement calling itself “antifa” has organized mass violence on the streets of major American cities. Despite its well-documented track record of extremism, antifa finds support on the mainstream left. Few reporters have dared to get close enough to expose this radical rabble of rioters. Andy Ngo, editor-at-large of The Post Millennial, has done so, enduring not only threats but repeated physical assaults, to shine a light on these thugs.

COVID-19 Science, Policy and Lessons to be Learned
Many officials continue to pursue a COVID-19 mitigation policy of broad societal lockdown focusing on containing the spread of the disease at all costs, instead of the original objective of “flattening the curve” and preventing hospital overcrowding. Although well-intentioned, the lockdown was imposed without consideration of its consequences beyond those directly resulting from the pandemic. Dr. Atlas will relate how continuing these lockdown policies are yielding devastating ramifications far beyond the damage of the virus itself.

Why This Crisis is Like No Other
The COVID-19 crisis hit shockingly hard and fast, and has upended every aspect of our lives, not least our liberties. The result is a crisis like none we have experienced in our lifetimes. It has been compared to a war, albeit against an invisible enemy with an objective we haven't defined.

The Communist Takeover of the Democrat Party
Mr. Loudon’s remarkable investigative work has revealed that what is commonly regarded as mainstream political policy is in fact driven and guided by hidden subversive elements. The Democratic party’s consistent defunding of the US military, Obamacare, the Iran Nuclear Deal, normalization of relations with Cuba, Islamic refugee re-settlement, $15 minimum wage, fracking bans, pipeline shutdowns and the push for illegal alien amnesty are all consistent with far-left and Islamist agendas.

Open Borders, Inc.: Who Is Funding America's Destruction?
Until recently, a national consensus held that America should be in control of its border, and that the laws on the books should be applied fairly and dispassionately to determine who can enter the United States. No more. The modern Democratic Party seems to be all-in for open borders, and, until President Trump's insurgent candidacy of 2016 shocked the political world, Republicans were at best tepid in their defense of our borders. No country can survive if it doesn't control its own borders. This used to be considered common sense. But now, if you oppose open borders, you will surely be accused of racism if not worse. This change didn't happen in a vacuum. Powerful interests with substantial resources (and a penchant for secrecy) helped usher in a new age and new attitudes about immigration. Conservative super-star Michelle Malkin exposes these shadowy actors and reveals who is funding America's destruction.

The Midwest vs. Coastal Elites: a Family Squabble, or Civil War?
If you ever feel like the United States is splitting into two countries, you aren’t alone. Attitudes in the “Blue” states along the coasts and the “Red” states in the heartland are diverging. It’s as though we can’t even agree on basic facts any more. And the folks who call themselves “tolerant” seem to get less tolerant of disagreement every day. Puzzled? Frustrated? Aggravated? Join the club! (Literally - we’re always looking for new members!) Nationally syndicated pundit James Lileks shares his perspective on the split between the Midwest and the Coastal elites.

Living in the Age of Fake News
The age of Fake News is upon us. CNN has succumbed to Trump Derangement Syndrome. MS-NBC seamlessly merges opinion with fact. CBS tries to take down a president with blatant lies, and calls their smears "fake but accurate" when they are caught. Can any reporter be trusted? Surely not every journalist is a biased hack...right? Hillsdale Journalism Chair John J. Miller reports on the state of Fake News - why it seems so prevalent; how you can detect it; and what ordinary citizens can do to fight back. Prof. Miller is known to be one of the best literary journalists in the country. He is a gifted speaker with remarkable insights.
