The Shooter’s Manifesto: Christian Nationalism Still On The Rise?
There was definitely a Christian Nationalist angle being played out with regard to the White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooter’s manifesto.

Why Trump’s Populism Failed
Donald Trump ran for the presidency as a populist, and he won as a populist. All the usual suspects—such as Hillary Clinton—condemned him as a populist. The political playbook his campaign followed served up the typical populist fare for the voters. That is, Trump promised to serve the “common people” by fighting against the ruling class, “draining the swamp,” punishing the corrupt, ending the government gravy train, and generally throwing a monkey wrench in the whole ruling class’s machine of exploitation. But now, with nearly three years still to go in the Trump presidency, it’s quite clear that Trump will not be doing anything to actually upset the governing elite’s apple cart.

30 Numbers From 2025 That Are Almost Too Crazy To Believe
2025 has truly been a historic year. No matter which side of the fence you are on, nobody can deny that we have witnessed seismic political changes over the last 12 months. Meanwhile, the AI revolution is transforming our lives in ways that we don’t even understand. But despite all of our advanced technology, we can’t stop the endless barrage of natural disasters that have been pummeling us in 2025, and hunger continues to spread all over the globe. Of course, war has been a major theme from the very beginning of the year to the very end of the year. Humanity has been facing one major crisis after another, and people are steadily getting angrier and more frustrated.
The Constitution as a Weak Reed
The idea of constitutionalism is that of limited government under the rule of law. The whole point of agreeing on the basic rules by which the country is to be governed is to constrain the tendency of bureaucrats, and all those vested with executive power, to become despots and turn on their own citizens. In theory, the Constitution should safeguard individual liberty by giving citizens a bulwark against state tyranny.

Silver Surges Toward The Magical $100 Mark, Global Debt Levels Are Exploding And The U.S. Dollar Is Dying

It is up an astounding 166 percent since January 1st, and so those who purchased it long ago and stuck with it are really loving life right now. When the price of silver reached the 50 dollar mark earlier this year, I thought that it would be some time before it hit the 60 dollar mark. But of course, the truth is that it didn’t take long at all.
The Continental Bait-and-Switch
Due to wartime inflation of bills of credit (“Continentals”) during the American War for Independence and the predictable economic effects, an old American colloquialism developed, “not worth a Continental” (although this phrase may have come about much later than the Revolutionary era). This article argues that Continentals only temporarily retained some value largely because of an initial promise of future redemption in gold and silver—a monetary “bait-and-switch.” (Additionally, interventions such as legal tender laws and the acceptance of paper money for tax payments may have offered some temporary support, but these measures were secondary to—and ultimately dependent upon—the original expectation of redemption in gold or silver).

China Warns Japan Nuclear Weapons Pursuit Would “Bring Disaster to the World”
A senior Japanese security official’s suggestion that Tokyo should consider acquiring nuclear weapons has ignited a firestorm of condemnation from across Asia and forced the government into immediate damage control. The remarks, reported by Japanese media last week, questioned the reliability of U.S. nuclear protection and proposed a potential reversal of the nation’s decades-old non-nuclear principles. The reaction was swift and severe, with China warning that such a path would “again bring disaster to the world,” highlighting the intense sensitivities and historical ghosts that continue to shape security debates in the region.
