Murder of The Innocents, Part I

By Rich Kozlovich 

The judge presiding over the Lindsay Clancy murder has set a new trial date for March of 2027, with her attorneys insisting this violates the Constitution as being tried twice for the same crime and she should be let go.  That's not gonna happen, but this mess has exposed much about the women's movement in America.

 Olivia Murray published this article, Feminism is rot, even when it’s ‘conservative’ feminism, saying:  

We all know the leftard nutjobs love Clancy, because they love what is evil and hate what is good. That’s old news. But I’ve seen countless politically conservative women also jump to her defense and make the most asinine feminist cases for why she’s not actually guilty of murder—before they then meander off into leftist socialist B.S. for future policy.

I have to ask:  Who picked this jury? Now I have to wonder: Who picked this prosecutor. It turns out the prosecutor was … seemingly…. incompetent, and after all this hullabaloo, there will be a second trial! I’m betting the next prosecutor will have the smart switch in his brain turned on, if there is one. As for the comments by readers about the mental and emotional quality of jurors, I recommend one of my favorite movies… 12 Angry Men. A testament to just how bias, clueless and arrogant so many people are. 

  

There were three men on that jury.... correction.... one man and two invertebrates.... and that man has been doxed by the media and now he and his family can't leave their house.  He noted how the activists on that jury went into that jury with a not guilty agenda from the beginning.  At this point he's had to move to a safe house and has hired an attorney.  

• And, There It Is… Lindsey Clancy Holdout Juror Says He Feels Like He’s Being Targeted Because “He Is a Black Republican” – And the Juror Panel Was Democrats -  This is very troubling… Why is it that only Republicans believe when you strangle to death your three little innocent children, including a baby, that you committed murder and should be punished? What did these babies ever do to deserve such a cruel death at the hands of their mother?

I'm shocked, shocked I tell you....how dare a black man vote against these white lunatics, and it's gets worse....he's a Republican!  Must be race treason.... right?   At least that's what we must conclude when Gayle King finds out he's black saying:

“Whoa,” King says, blinking a couple of times, a look of concern on her face. “I have to sit with that for just a second.”

So, should we reasonable conclude she thinks this is race treason?  Or should we conclude she's as irrational as Oprah has been over this, who clearly is trying to normalize what Lindsay Clancy did, a common thread of all on the left.  Justifying all that is vile in order to make it seem normal.  One young female member of her audience stood her ground calling Clancy a murderer while Oprah tried to turn her into a mental health mascot.

The Female Cult of Collaboration 

• Those Who Hate God Love Death - Somewhere in New England, cloistered away, is the brave, lone holdout from the Lindsay Clancy case. Hated by the left, he is the one who caused a mistrial in the case because his conscience couldn’t approve of a woman getting away with the systematic strangling of her children.
• The Abuse Excuse, Temporary Insanity, and Other Responsibility Cop-Outs - In a matter of days, the nation will find out if triple killer Lindsay Clancy is free from charges via the declared mistrial on September 4, or if she will be tried a second time. Either way, the American jury system has been taking some hard hits.
• Holdout Juror Fights Back After Lindsay Clancy’s Lawyer Seeks His Phone Records — Spokesperson Says OTHER Jurors Were on Phones and Posting During Deliberations -  The lone holdout juror in Lindsay Clancy’s murder trial is pushing back after Clancy’s defense asked a judge to investigate his conduct and obtain cellphone records from the jury’s deliberations. Edward Paltzik, attorney for juror Michael Desronvil, blasted the motion as “Looney Tunes” and a “full-frontal attack on the U.S. Constitution.” He warned that investigating jurors for standing by their views could threaten the independence of jury deliberations, CT Insider reported.
• A double standard for murder By J.R. Dunn| Even the most rabid feminists made no effort, following the Lindsay Clancy trial, to claim a double standard in the way men are treated for the same crime. They didn’t claim that because it would have been too stupid even for them.
• A Discussion About the True Nature of Woman  Christopher Chantrill| In the wake of the Lindsay Clancy Verdict and the Sydney Sweeney Pile-On and the Sophie Cunningham Point-ology it is time for a comprehensive and mandatory discussion of the issue of Women in the Public Square.
• Clancy holdout juror gets doxxed, and subsequently harassed By Olivia Murray |   His cardinal sin? Bucking the white feminists. Well, the name of the holdout juror in the Lindsay Clancy trial is out there because he had the audacity to buck the “white savior” feminists and form his own opinions (based on evidence) while black. They hate when white men rebuff their politics, but when a black man does it? How dare he—doesn’t he know his place?.......
• NBC Hounds Clancy Holdout Juror at Home Even Though Names Were Supposed to Be Sealed - How is this legal, why would anyone want to participate in our judicial process if legacy news outlets are going to try and destroy their lives it they don’t like the outcome?”

The Attorneys

I've always been amazed at the ability of activists to warp language and twist facts and logic to support their ideology. As a society we’ve been pushed to accept the conclusion that crime isn’t really crime, it’s necessity. Abortion isn’t murder, it’s health care. Leftist riots where people are raped, killed, assaulted are mostly peaceful. A legitimately peaceful demonstration by conservatives is an insurrection. So, should it surprise us to find treason isn’t really treason, it’s a justified defense of liberty and justice against tyranny? The scary thing is about 20% of the population absolutely believes that, and another 20% mostly believes that.

Observations From the Back Row

By Rich Kozlovich

From American Thinker

Yesterday I posted this Observations From the Back Row discussing Republicans and the American culture, both in crisis.  The culture is in even greater danger with the Democrats in control of the Congress.  But Democrat control of the Congress happened in the past, and America went on for decades, so what's the big deal now?  This Democrat party is beyond radical.  

It turns out far left loons like Jeffries' and Schumer's leadership of the Democrats wasn't far left enough for the new Democrats. Chuck Schumer faces a revolt and Bernie Sanders says it's time for a change and won’t support Schumer for Senate Democratic leader.  Will they be ousted? It appears they may still win leadership roles, but they may very well regret it as now the party that's marched in lockstep to defeat Trump will start to diverge in their priorities creating a lot of disruption in the internal party dynamics, and at a level that may well make the internal conflict among the Republicans seem tame.  

Two False Gospels Have Joined Hands Against the Christian West - We must understand what binds an otherwise inexplicable alliance. Something that should never make sense is happening right before our eyes. It’s a true existential threat that goes beyond voter fraud or social media gaslighting. We’re in a spiritual war. We need to be fighting it at a spiritual level. The Democratic Socialists of America now claim more than 120,000 members, the largest socialist organization in American history, bigger than Eugene Debs’ Socialist Party at its 1912 peak. More than 250 of them already hold elected office. And they are marching arm in arm with political Islamists who reject nearly everything the socialists claim to believe about sex, gender, family, and free speech.......

The Democrat party is a toxic witches brew of radicals with different agendas.... agendas they're devoted to, and when they have the power they'll refuse to compromise.  To paraphrase William Shakespeare: "Heaven has no rage, nor hell a fury like an Islamo-leftist scorned."   

It's already started with DSA-backed Angie Nixon who ran for the Senate in Florida and is now accusing her own party of racism.  It couldn't be her inability to sell Floridians on socialism.  Oh no...not that....so...it must be racism.... and from her own party.  Expect to see more outrageous lies, charges, claims, demands and exhortations in the coming weeks and months. 

This is the party that chose up to ten Muslim candidates who will be seated in Congress that want to impose Sharia law and dump the Constitution; eight men who claim they’re women; six more DSA members making that eight DSA members now.  They even elected a woman who will probably end up in jail for failing to return a rental car... six years ago.  She claims this was just her opponent "taking unfair advantage implying she's a felon".  Imagine that.  

It's a party that supports policies that create higher taxes, intrusive regulations, unemployment, mass amnesty for illegals, race reparations, no voter identification, more spending, greater national debt, globalism, the embrace of green energy and global warming, censorship of any media platform that disagrees with their agenda.  It's also the party that's going to have to live up to their rants about affordability and fix inflation and keep energy costs low.  All of which will be impossible with their stated goals and agenda.  Remarkable, and no one noticed this before?

• Mamdani Grins With Glee as NY Governor Signals More Tax Hikes to Fund His Childcare Program

It's also the party that's facing the potential that socialism is just temporarily in vogue.  Why?  What we may actually be seeing is a nation of unhappy capitalists.  While leftists were getting elected in this midterm, their proposals were getting trashed.

"But make no mistake, they are getting beaten when their proposals are isolated and put on the ballot. Capitalism still trumps socialism, and if you call it free enterprise, it soars another 15 points."

•  Republican Ballot Measures Were Victorious Across the Country. What Does That Mean for Republicans?

Who really is this Democrat party?  

1. Is it the party of those who think it would be just hilarious to dig up Charlie Kirk's body and re-enact his murder?  
2. The party that promises to be the gayest Congress in history?
3. The party of third worldists who are enemies of civilization?
4. The pro-crime party that commutes the death sentences of 548 people on death row? (More Here.)
5. The party that will have the police arresting ICE agents for arresting illegal aliens?
6. The party that wants to bring back deported DACA recipients and pay them damages?
7. The party that will force kids back into the public school plantations by ending school voucher programs?
8. The party that wants to dump Home Land Security?
9. The party of antisemitism?
10. The real party of racism, calling all white people oppressors?
11. The party of Islam?  (here, here, here, here, here, and here.)
12. The party that wants to destroy the Constitution and throw out the Electoral College, and going about it with an unconstitutional scheme that doesn't bother to change the Constitution?
13. The party that will eliminate the Second Amendment?
14. The party that has zero interest in working with the Trump administration, calling them racists? 
15. The DEI party that forces religious organizations to admit non believing members with it's  "anti-discrimination" laws and regulations and rules that discriminate against Christians?

It turns out atheists are now claiming Christian churches are violating their rights by excluding them from church membership.  

Vanderbilt University has denied "on campus recognition" to more than a dozen Christian groups for disallowing membership and/or leadership positions to non-Christians.   And what possible governmental interest could be served by requiring Orthodox Jews, for example, to admit non-Jews to their leadership, unless the goal is destruction of the religious group? 

Yet this is precisely what government “anti-discrimination” requirements are imposing on Christian ministries, particularly at our universities. At bottom, requiring that non-adherents be permitted to lead or vote for leadership sets the stage for their complete loss of identity and utter destruction.   

Atheists of whatever stripe certainly have a right to be treated fairly under the law, but they don’t have a special right to invade and destroy religious organizations with which they disagree.

That was fourteen years ago, and once again, DEI will be thrust onto society by the Democrats, and we know that because they've said that's what they'll do, as Ro Khanna screams, ‘DEI is back!’ 

Or perhaps this is what the Democrat party really is:  A radical mentally deranged party of terror, revenge and destruction!

1. NY Democrat Rep.-Elect Brad Lander In Favor of Impeaching Hegseth, RFK Jr., Kash Patel - Rep.-elect Brad Lander (D-NY) came out in favor of impeaching Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Kash Patel..... 
2. You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet When It Comes to Democrat Revenge Tour - One of the more striking things about my liberal friends is how they keep fantasizing about how Trump is an authoritarian who is upending the Constitutional order (He will cancel the midterms and put the military outside voting stations!) as they fantasize about seizing companies, jailing or killing their political opponents, and "Trump-proofing" America by permanently changing the Constitution. .....
3. The Coming Persecution The midterm “mandate” is all about revenge. In the wake of the November 3 midterm elections in which the Republican Party suffered major losses, the emboldened Democrats have already begun making it explicitly clear that their first order of business will be to target Donald Trump and his administration for retribution for perceived crimes, corruption, and abuses of the Constitution and the American people......
4. The Democrats’ Reign Of Terror Is Nigh It’s sickening and disheartening to know that people have become so deeply disturbed and lost their humanity. How did a major portion of our citizenry become so mentally deranged?
5.  Trump: Report Dem Threats to Republican Party Members, Donors to DOJ – or Him Directly - Political threats and outright violence seem these days to be almost exclusively the province of the Left. President Trump, though, even after the Republican Party's midterm losses, isn't having any of it. On Saturday, the president took to his Truth Social platform to draw a big, beautiful line in the sand: Any threats of violence against Republican donors or party members won't be tolerated....
6. 'A traitor to the West': Watch leftist demand execution of Trump supporter Elon Musk - 'This is where the minds of leftists are right now. With this blue wave midterm, they will become even worse. They are salivating about the idea of going after their perceived enemies'....
7. GOP Rep. Luna: ‘The Radical Left Is Embracing Assassination Culture’ - Thursday on FNC’s “Jesse Watters Primetime,” Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) warned about the sentiments held by the left-wing base, declaring that it has infiltrated the Democratic Party. Luna said the radical left of that movement was “embracing assassination culture.” “All right, well, congratulations,” host Jesse Watters said. “I’m glad you survived the tsunami. The Democrats seems like the base wants executions. Will they be seeing those?”.......Lawfare is the Democrats' real post-election priority - Claim to care about 'affordability,' but base 'cares more about stopping Trump than advancing policy goals'.......Lest we forget, the Obama-era IRS subjected conservative nonprofits to intense scrutiny, delaying applications for tax-exempt status while demanding private donor and volunteer information. More recently, the Arctic Frost investigation targeted more than 160 people in Trump's circle, including many who were never accused of crimes. Conservative groups like Turning Point USA and the Conservative Partnership Institute came under scrutiny.......
8. 'This is going to be a bit of a train wreck': Constitutional expert looks askance at Dems' lawfare plans - Democrats running for, and now elected to, Congress have been promising for months already that their agenda is going to be investigations, impeachments, prosecutions, and harassment of anyone in the Trump administration. Essentially a weaponization of the entirety of federal government against their political enemies..........."That's the reason they'll turn to investigations and impeachments. … People are gonna realize they didn't offer any actual, constructive ideas about how to improve the economy.".....
9. Democrats signal oversight blitz as Trump officials lawyer up —Democrats made clear after Tuesday’s stunning midterm victories that they will use their historic gains in Congress to flex their investigative muscles, swiftly issuing warnings to Trump administration officials they say have thus far dodged their oversight.  “Lawyer up,” was the two-word statement issued by incoming House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chair Robert Garcia (D-Calif.), whose side of the panel has already lobbed a number of inquiries at Trump administration officials.......
10. Democrats Explode, Pledge Lawfare Against Stephen Miller After Promotion - Several Democrats exploded after President Donald Trump announced that White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller would be taking over as White House chief of staff, and they vowed lawfare against Miller.....
11. There It Is: Democrat Rep. Robert Garcia is Unable to Name a Single Crime Stephen Miller Committed as He Threatens Trump’s Top Advisor - Congressman Robert Garcia (CA) on Sunday was unable to name one crime that Stephen Miller committed as he threatened Trump’s top advisor with lawfare. Congressman Garcia, a gay man, was born in Lima, Peru, and came to the United States at age 5 with his mother on visas that later expired. Garcia lived in the United States as an illegal alien until he became a US citizen in his 20s.  The incoming Democrat Oversight Chairman last week threatened Stephen Miller after he was announced as President Trump’s next White House Chief of Staff.......
12. Dem Rep. Olszewski: I'd Like to Focus on Costs, But Have to Impeach Hegseth - On Friday’s broadcast of NewsNation’s “Cuomo,” Rep. Johnny Olszewski (D-MD) said that he “would much rather be focused on lowering the cost of living, addressing those pocketbook issues”, but they’ll take up articles of impeachment against Secretary Pete Hegseth if he doesn’t resign or get fired.
13.  House Dem Won’t Say Legislating Is Priority #1: ‘We Are Focused on Accountability’ — ‘Whole Cabinet Should Get Ready’ - During an interview with CNN on Thursday, Rep. Lauren Underwood (D-IL) responded to a question on whether she thinks impeachments and investigations should be secondary to legislating by stating that “Without a doubt, we are focused on accountability.” She also stated that both legislation on affordability and accountability should be pursued and “I think the whole Cabinet should get ready.”.........
14.  Left Wing Influencer Followed by Abdul El-Sayed Calls for Execution of Republicans - The left is out for blood, folks. Democrats may have run on lowering gas and food prices, but their supporters have other priorities. Nick Pringle is a left wing influencer and he recently put out a video demanding Nuremberg Trials for Trump officials and other Republicans. He says he wants Elon Musk executed before Christmas. Years ago, this could be laughed off as crazy. Now, who can be sure? The left killed Charlie Kirk and tried to kill Trump. Repeatedly. Abdul El-Sayed follows this person on social media.............
15. Democrat lawyers preparing impeachment articles already. - “Donald John Trump thus warrants impeachment and trial, removal from office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust, or profit under the United States.” That sentence appears at the end of all seven articles in a 17-page Trump impeachment draft published by Biazzo Law for the incoming 120th Congress. The charges were available on election night. .................
16.  They want blood: U.S. Sen. Elissa Slotkin travels to Europe to learn 'Gestapo tactics' to punish Republicans, admits it on hidden camera - Democrat U.S. Sen. Elissa Slotkin, the junior senator from Michigan, recently was caught threatening young Americans with investigations and prosecutions if they decided they wanted to work in the administration of a Republican president.  She said prosecuting some people will provide a "deterrent" message to others......

Are all the investigations these radicals are wanting to pursue even legal?  Quite possibly not, as a "White House lawyer warns of "blatant criminality" in the Democrat's "investigations push" saying: 

......that investigations into the Trump administration that lawmakers plan to pursue in the next Congress "may cross the line into blatant criminality".... and .... congressional subpoenas could prompt probes from the executive branch...... a letter to Garcia..... reminding him that investigative acts by Congress must be backed by a "legitimate legislative purpose"....."Beyond being inconsistent with the clear, well-recognized constitutional limitations on your investigative functions, threats to executive branch officials designed to deter them from public service, or process designed merely to abuse or instill fear in the recipient may cross the line into blatant criminality,"..... "And issuing unlawful subpoenas with the intention of depriving citizens of their constitutional rights and privileges may warrant further investigation."

That sounds impressive, but will that stop them? No!  They're going to go peddle to the metal on this and they will allow nothing legal or illegal to prevent them from venting their spleens to get Trump, his family, his allies, his supporters, and members of his administration.  Truth be told, based on history, nothing will happen to them either. 

What we're seeing is a stark choice between national suicide or national renaissance in 2026 and beyond, and what the Democrat Congress with deliver will be an very real affordability crisis, which Ron DeSantis likens to "throwing gas to the fire", as did Joe Biden.  

The actual fix for America is, among other things, "lower taxes, more U.S. energy production and affordable health care without a big government takeover" and that is in no way part and parcel of what socialists will embrace. As Ed Koch said when he lost his re-election bid:  "The people have spoken, and now they must be punished".  Progressives may eventually get what they voted for -- good and hard.

However, J.R. Dunn has an interesting view on "how Democrat party members intend to exploit the opportunity that the midterms have given them:

"They’re going to soak themselves with gasoline, set themselves ablaze, and race toward the nearest high place – cliff, suspension bridge, tenth-story window -- and leap out while howling dementedly all the way down.  That conclusion is impossible to escape after listening to statements from three of their leading “influencers”: Jennifer Welch, veteran lefty podcaster and nag, Scott Galloway, notable intellectual crank, and James Carville… well, ya’ll know who he is."

Stay tuned, more to come. 

Woodrow Wilson and WWI: History and Consequences!

By Rich Kozlovich

Today is May 11, Veterans Day, originally called Armistice Day, which became a federal holiday in 1938 to celebrate the armistice ending hostilities of WWI "on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918".

Memorial Day, originally called Decoration Day, was created in 1868 to honor the Federal soldiers who died in the Civil War, and then was adopted by every state by 1890. So many have served and so many died since then, so in 1954 Armistice Day was renamed Veterans Day in order to recognize all veterans for all time and all wars and by law it's now always celebrated on November 11th.

I've linked and written a lot about  who laid the ground work for the administrative state and our unending intrusion in the affairs of foreign nations where we have no skin in the game, which is what America's entry into WWI really was. I usually list Teddy Roosevelt as the worst President because he gave personality to the progressive movement. He laid the intellectual, emotional and psychological groundwork for the fascist policies later imposed by Woodrow Wilson, using America's unnecessary involvement in WWI as a justification, or the excuse if you like.

Both Teddy and Woodrow believed the Constitution was an impediment to human progress. But it was Wilson who actually imposed and applied those fascist principles during WWI, and for that, he's the worst President in American history, hands down.

WWI was a “calculated and condoned slaughter of human beings,” and that “war isn’t worth one life". That generation of soldiers suffered so horribly at the hands of incompetent leaders are gone now. Another reason I posted this is because I'm quite emotional about these wars and the terrible suffering these men endured, during the war and after "peace" was attained, at such a terrible price. I wish more people read The Guns of August.

Neither the Zimmerman Telegram nor the sinking of the Lusitania justified America entering that slaughter house where generals tried to wear out German machine guns with young men's bodies.

Wilson used both of these examples as an excuse to enter the war, America had no skin in that game.  There was no need for America to enter this war over the sinking of the Lusitania. The Lusitania was a British ship and there's more than enough evidence it wasn't just a passenger ship - it was in reality a munitions carrier disguised as a passenger ship, and naturally the disguise required passengers. This wasn't an act demonstrating German brutality as much as it was English disdain for civilian life, and that was especially true of Winston Churchill who - as Lord of the Admiralty - ordered English shipping to fly flags of other countries, especially American flags in hopes of Germany sinking legitimately flagged American ships to draw America into this war.

They knew this could, and eventually would happen, and used this for propaganda purposes to draw Americans into the war. As for Wilson - he was a well know anglophile and privately wanted to enter the war on England's side - all the while lying to the American public proclaiming how he was a devoted isolationist. And going to war over Americans who died on a foreign flag ship in time of war was a standard created by Wilson to justify the unjustifiable.  

As for the Zimmerman Telegram where Germany invited Mexico to form a military alliance and attack America if the United States entered the war, promising financial and military support; that outraged the America public, but how did the public know? Wilson made sure they knew in spite of the fact Wilson had to know Germany was in no way capable of aiding Mexico in any way, and Mexico was in no way capable of invading the United States, a situation that Wilson could have easily resolved with a nasty diplomatic letter to the President of Mexico.  But the Anglophile Wilson wanted America in the war, and the world has paid a massive price ever since.  

There have been a few articles about WWI that I think are worth viewing: 

The stupid ending of a stupid war - What started the First World War?  Answer: the public murder of a member of the Habsburg dynasty and his wife.  That’s it.  Because of that, an estimated 15–22 million people died, mostly soldiers.  So many men were killed that thereafter, many European women would never be able to find husbands....... To further set the stage at the war’s outset, France and Switzerland were the only nations in all of Europe that were not monarchies.  Britain’s Queen Victoria had assiduously married off her daughters so that Kaiser Wihelm, Tsar Nicholas of Russia, and Britain’s King George V were all first cousins.......

The machine gun was also a major new factor.  As mentioned in The Social History of the Machine Gun by John Ellis (Johns Hopkins University Press), an initial tactic for dealing with a machine gun was to overwhelm the position so it would eventually run out of bullets......

Perhaps the greatest bungle was the establishment of financial reparations against Germany, denominated in German marks.  The Weimar government soon fired up its printing presses and churned out tons of “legal tender” in order to fulfill the obligation.  Such inflationary distress set the stage for the rise of National Socialism and the eventual deaths of several millions more, this time including many more civilians, partially due to the advent of aerial bombing of population centers as a tactic........

Making sense of the Great War - As a student of history, it is not exactly clear to me why we were involved.......It is not only U.S. involvement in that war that is hard to fathom. The reason for British involvement in a continental conflict in 1914 is difficult to understand. Up until that point, England had been wary of getting itself involved in a European land war. 

Traditionally, it did not possess a large standing army, and its ambitions on the European continent were limited. Its preference was to remain an isolated island nation with global maritime trading ambitions rather than one directly involved in the struggle for European continental hegemony. The war to depose Napoleon, one hundred years earlier, had been a rare exception. In that instance, the English people had found themselves in league with the illiberal, conservative land powers of Prussia, Austria, and Russia, a rather odd arrangement for a liberal democracy with a global maritime outlook.......

Veterans Day Began With An Unnecessary War  - Those who led us into WWI were not thinking strategically.......   President Woodrow Wilson declared war on Germany on April 16, 1917, just six weeks after his second inauguration, after spending a year campaigning for re-election on the slogan that he had “kept us out of the war.”  In the 19 months of war that followed, 53,402 Americans died in combat, with tens of thousands of others dying from influenza and other diseases.  These losses were minor compared to the total estimated 9 to 15 million overall who died in WWI, but they still make WWI the third deadliest war in our own history.......

Had we stayed out of WWI, the U.S. would have secured it place as the long-term dominant power in the world, greatly overshadowing the threats that came later from Hitler, Stalin, and Mao.  Indeed, had we focused on the development of our own economy, including military research, WWII and the Cold War, and the current rivalry with China, might have been avoided or lessened.  It is also very likely that the Great Depression would have been less severe, since in part it was triggered by overhanging war debt........

Woodrow Wilson laid the psychological and intellectual foundation for all the disastrous issues the world is facing right now.  The least we can do is make sure the history being taught in America's educational institutions is not the leftist swill and propaganda we're seeing regularly touted by the left and their myrmidons of the Pravda media. 

 

Observations From the Back Row

By Rich Kozlovich 

As a result of his travels to many different cultures 2500 years ago Herodotus noted that “culture was king’, and the results of this midterm election shows America’s culture has a serious problem.

California elected a governor who can reasonably be held responsible for the exploitation of children; there will be up to ten Muslims in Congress who want to impose Sharia law and dump the Constitution; there will be eight men who claim they’re women, six more DSA members making that eight members now, and any number of Members of Congress that openly demand Republicans not only be prosecuted, some want them shot for daring to oppose them.

This didn’t happen overnight.  For 237 years this effort to destroy the West’s Judaic/Christian culture was the long game in Europe and in America it’s been the game plan since the late 19th century, we can reasonably say almost 150 years. We’re not going to overturn that with court cases or even single elections.   As it is now; culture is king, and corruption is queen, and the battle has to begin in the schools and the churches/synagogues which need to be seriously purged of their corrupt and heretical Woke leaders. That will take time, and we may not have the time, the demographics or the societal consensus necessary to accomplish that.

Once western civilization abandoned it’s Judaic/Christian foundation, with support from church leaders, this became as predictable as night follows day. For over 20 years I’ve said the EU is doomed. Now… that prediction is on the verge of becoming a reality and when it’s all done, there will be three Islamic nations with nuclear bombs. Pakistan, France, and England.

Thune and company have smugly and arrogantly squandered their time in “power”. Where a 60 vote requirement is necessary the Democrats will filibuster. Where 60 votes aren’t required the RINO’s will not support a majority vote. The Republican party is heading to an accounting with the base and if there’s not a purge of it’s leadership before 2028, all is lost.

Thune ran for the job as the minority leader of the Senate Republicans, and he's did so because he says he's done a magnificent job with his “strong record of accomplishment", like failing to end the "blue slip" tradition that allows home state Senators to approve or object to judicial and U.S. attorney nominees, which is not a Constitutional requirement it's a Senate rule.  Or how he prevented the confirmation of federal judges and even prevented recess appointments by scheduling very brief pro forma sessions every couple of days when the Senate was in recess.  For the President to be able to make recess appointments the Senate must be in total recess for ten days, and how he didn't end the filibuster when it mattered.   He refused allow Senators to vote on the SAVE Act for secure elections, which probably played a major role in the Republican midterm route. Since that's clearly what the Democrats wanted, one must ask:  Who has he working for? 

Well, his view of what he deems as accomplishments isn't accepted across the board and there was a bit of a revolt to oust him as leader.  The Republican Senate wasted two years under his watch, and electing him as Senate Minority Leader is a reward for failure on a massive scale.

What I really find puzzling is Trump's take on this. He claims Thune is a “very fine man” and he likes John Thune.  That's just nuts, and now the Republicans have less than sixty days left in power, and the House Freedom Caucus is demanding passage of Voter ID, border crackdown, and one trillion dollars in spending cuts before the Democrats take over and there will be no leaving until it's done. 

• Call an Emergency Session Now. Keep Every Republican in Their Seat Until January 3.  

Do I think that will happen? No, I don't.  The problem with the Republican party is … it’s not a party…. it’s a conglomeration of know nothing, do-nothing, self-serving incompetents with no shared vision or goals.  They talk the talk, but fail…. unendingly …. to walk the talk.   Just like clueless Bush the first…., it’s “that vision thing”.  On the other hand, the Democrats really are a party.  While they’re even a worse party of no nothing incompetents, they’re a party with a shared vision marching in lock step to attain power in any way possible no matter how many lies they have to tell, or how many promises they have to make to attain that power.  The Republicans wasted two years eating each other, and now they're going to go home on recess, defeated like whipped dogs with no fight in them.

Well, the issue of who will lead the Republicans has been resolved.  First, this breaking news article appeared generating a glimmer of hope when it was announced that Jim Jordan was chosen to be the next Republican House leader.  But any hope that may have generated was dashed to the pavement with the Senate Republicans choosing John Thune to continue leading them down the drain.  

So much for Senate rules over delaying the vote.  It turns out the swamp won, and the delay Senator Johnson wanted in order to have a "robust, robust soul-searching discussions within our conference" will not happen.  Will this accomplish creating a united Republican Senate?  No. There won't be a united Republican Senate, and I think it will become even more disunited than in the past.  Senator Johnson has said he's chosen a side, while remaining a Republican he's chosen the side of the Tea Party, and I'm inclined to think he'll be joined by more than just a few. 

As for the public's view of reality.  Here's an analysis I found interesting regarding this midterm election.  What was the role religion played in this election?

1. First, and this is hardly a surprise, it was the non religious who supported this Democrat victory. 
2. Secondly, half of the evangelicals stayed home.  
3. Third, and this is the should be the biggest surprise, 50% of Catholics voted for the Democrats and only 49% voted for the Republicans.  

Over 50% of Catholics (the percentage was especially high among younger Catholics) voted for the party that demands the right to murder the innocent unborn, even right up until birth, a mortal sin in the Catholic faith, and for people who hate Christians and want to overturn the Constitution.   

•  Why Are So Many Christians Voting Socialist?

I don’t think it can be questioned we have serious cultural problems.  Problems so profound they may be insurmountable. As I watch this playing out, I fear we’re driving head long… peddle to the metal…. toward societal collapse with extreme levels of violence erupting.  All it would take is economic collapse, and with the left retaking power, all that seems inevitable.  Paris is burning, is America next?

Update, 11/11/26:

1. Exclusive — RINO Poaching: Cornyn’s Top Policy Adviser Applying for Job with Talarico - Sen. John Cornyn’s (R-TX) top policy adviser is interviewing for a position with radical Democrat Senator-elect James Talarico, who defeated Trump-endorsed Republican Ken Paxton in last week’s Texas Senate election......
2.  Report: Bessent Moved to Military Base Iran Assassination Fears  - Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has relocated with his family from his private residence to a military base after Iranian threats against his life escalated beyond an “advanced stage,” according to reports Tuesday......
3. Iran Demands U.S. ‘Surrender’ to All Its Demands - Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Gen. Mohsen Rezaei, secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, on Monday insisted the United States “surrender” to Iran’s demands for unconditional concessions to allow for peace negotiations to begin. (My Take - They must not have heard they're militarily bankrupt. Or perhaps they're playing to their Democrat allies who were elected this midterm? RK) 
4.  Trump Meets with Qatari Mediators as Iran Pushes ‘Two-Day Peace Plan’ - President Donald Trump met with Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani at the White House on Monday to discuss ongoing diplomatic efforts to conclude the Iran war..... (My Take - You can't negotiate with people with an agenda.  You either surrender or win. RK)
5.  Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney Labels United States More of a Security Threat than China - Far-left Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said the United States is more of a security threat than communist China in comments on Tuesday, showing how captured his government is by Trump Derangement Syndrome.
6. (Editor's Note: It's been claimed the issue of where AI date centers are being located impacted the midterm election negatively against Republicans. So, this is worth noting.  RK):  Another False Claim About AI Data Centers Just Fell Apart - Earlier this year, CNN reported on a study suggesting that data centers were creating “heat islands,” with increases in surrounding land surface temperatures reaching as high as 16 degrees Fahrenheit. The study, by two University of Cambridge professors, had not been peer-reviewed. According to the researchers, in Mexico’s Bajío region and Aragon, Spain, two areas becoming hubs for hyper-scale AI data centers, the researchers examined two decades of temperature data and reported unexplained increases of 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit after accounting for other factors. The researchers also warned that warming could extend more than six miles from the facilities, potentially increasing temperatures for hundreds of millions of people worldwide, harming them and surrounding wildlife.

   The findings have since been used to bolster opposition to AI data centers and support claims that their environmental costs are disproportionate to their benefits. But, of course, there’s a problem. Newer, peer-reviewed research points in the opposite direction, suggesting that once again, another aspect of the debate over AI data centers has been shaped by premature, unverified information.

P&D Geopolitics Edition: France

By Rich Kozlovich, Tags: 

I've stored a lot of information over the last couple of months from around the world, much of it from subscription sites so I can't link the information, so you'll just have to take my word for what I'm presenting... or not.... as it pleases you.  However, I think I can say without much argument, the world is a mess.  Europe is on the verge of total collapse, especially France, which has a serious debt crisis.

There is no room left to maneuver in fiscal policy. Any attempt at austerity is met by the United Left in the streets. Migrant riots, looting, and orchestrated chaos block this route out of the budget crisis. That leaves tax policy. With government spending accounting for more than 57 percent of the economy, tax increases have become inevitable year after year, as the economy can no longer develop.

Combine the decades of fiscal incompetence with their idiotic riot control commands, and it's easy to conclude, it's too late to save France.  The government has ordered police not to harm rioters, no matter how violent them may be, and even the most violent who are arrested are released within hours. 

"Every police officer is aware of what happened to Florian M., the officer who, while attempting to arrest Nahel Merzouk, a young criminal of Arab descent, on June 27, 2023, accidentally killed him: The officer was arrested and charged with intentional homicide."

The police acknowledge they're incapable of protecting businesses suggesting hiring private security firms, nor can they protect the general public from the horrors these rioters have perpetrated.

• Since October 17, more than 2,000 officers have been wounded — some severely — and the numbers continue to rise.
• On October 19, the government imposed a curfew in many cities, then sent in police and water cannons. More than 3,000 shops — including several supermarkets — have been looted or destroyed. Stores that survived had boarded up their doors and windows, transforming the centers of Paris, Lyon, Marseille and other cities into bleak, barren ghost towns.
• Polls state that 83% of those surveyed describe the future of their nation as hopeless, and 65% believe that Western civilization itself may be coming to an end.
• The situation across the rest of Europe has also not been improving. Leftist and Islamist riots have recently broken out in Germany, Italy, Albania, Spain, Belgium and Greece. All of Western Europe is grappling with mounting economic difficulties as well as uncontrolled migration. Unless a broad recovery takes place, Europe's greatly sneered-at "great replacement" might well soon be complete.

Some of France's leaders are openly welcoming what's being called, the "great replacement", a "Muslim France....."  The Tricolor is being replaced with flags from a country that doesn't exit, Palestine, by rioters who support outright violent actions against France's Jews, French authorities and western civilization. 

As for the solutions from the political "right", that's delusional.  They're only to the right of the far left.  They all subscribe to the welfare state, it's just a matter of degree. 

•  Le Pen and AfD Join Forces: Heavy Headwinds for Von Der Leyen’s EU Mega-Budget 
•  Could a President Le Pen Dismantle the EU From Within?

The government says they're going to "reduce" the welfare benefits of convicted rioters.  I'd say this falls under the "whodathunkit" category.    Has someone in France grown a backbone?  Nah, as I see this as coverup and a distraction from the failure of the French government and the French people.  After all, if they've been not only been convicted of rioting, but looting, drug trafficking and other crimes, why should they get any welfare benefits at all?  Let's face it, there's no Charles Martel in France. 

If anyone doubts this is a massive worldwide conspiracy pay attention to how these radicals are destroying the food stocks in Europe's grocery stores by hacking their refrigerators and freezers.  That's an international criminal act of war.

Update:

1. Muslim Mob Beats French Group Unconscious for Singing Catholic Songs - “Throughout the assault, the attackers allegedly yelled “dirty whites,” “dirty fascists,” “We’re gonna f–ing kill you” and even “I’m Muslim, I’m 16 and I’ll f–k up your mother,” the victims said.” “They treated us like enemies,” said a fourth victim. Because you are the enemy.  Contemplate for a moment what would happen to Christians living in most Muslim countries if they started singing Catholic and other Christian hymns in public. France has swung its doors open to unvetted, illegal Muslim migration, so it should be no surprise to anyone to see the character of France shift to reflect the norm in Muslim countries........

P&D Geopolitics Edition: Middle East and Africa

By Rich Kozlovich  

I've stored a lot of information over the last couple of months from around the world, much of it from subscription sites so I can't link the information, so you'll just have to take my word for what I'm presenting... or not.... as it pleases you.  However, I think I can say without much argument, the world is a mess.  More and more information links the Middle East with African nations.  Some of it involving the Iran issue, and some of it involving their own internal issues, especially with western and northern African nations.   

The UN peacekeeping mission in Western Sahara has ended after 35 years, which wasn't all that effective anyway.  Now Morocco, which controls about 80 percent of the nation, will now ultimately control all of Western Sahara claiming they will allow "limited self government" for the Polisario Front that administers the "interior/eastern territory and refugee camps", about 20 percent of the nation, but will not allow independence.  The Polisario Front rejects that maintaining the "Sahrawi people", who are a distinct ethic group differing from those of Morocco, and have the sole right to self-determination."  While Morocco says they support the peace fire agreement, that won't last long.  Once again we see tribalism at work here, and this will not end peacefully.  

There was a report that Algeria was sending troops to Niger: A Warning for Morocco and Israel, with Russia being involved in this convoluted mess, with a lot of history behind it.  Ya just gotta read the article to get a glimmer of understanding of what a convoluted mess this is.  

Eastern Libya has taken pro-Turkish tilt with those blaming the US for being passive as "the agreement drew a new Mediterranean map, cutting across Greek islands and reflecting Turkey’s expansionist policies", yet as I see it this is just one more area where the United States has no skin in that game.  

• Bernard Haykel on Saudi Arabia at War - Houthi conflict escalation: Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia surged in summer 2026, following the closure of the Hormuz Strait. The Houthis aim to establish a “bridge to Iran” for arms and supplies, complicating Saudi defense efforts and threatening vital infrastructure. Iranian influence and strategy: Iran supports the Houthis with supplies through Oman, despite blockades, bolstering their missile capabilities..

As I've said in the past, what Saudi Arabia brings to the table with the Mecca Pact, the defense agreement between them, Pakistan, Turkey, and now Syria is money, lots of money.  Syria was encouraged to sign on to this "Sunni" alliance and got this in return:

"The Saudi Fund for Development signed six concessional loans worth more than $403 million. The largest loan is $105 million for 25 civil defense centers. The rest goes to hospitals and clinics, the Aleppo thermal power plant, up to 10,000 damaged homes, 300,000 smart water meters and the Finance Ministry’s digital systems. Reuters reported last month that Damascus was weighing military help for the kingdom against the Houthis."

The conflict in areas where African nations and Middle East nations interact is an on going mess and when you see what's going on it's easy to understand why the economics of these nation are in the toilet, with the exception of those nations that are oil rich.  But their stability is fraying as radicals are attacking them with missiles killing civilians.  And now Saudi Arabia is feeling the economic consequences of the Iran/Houthi alliance.  To avoid the conflict in the Strait of Hormuz companies are building pipelines to by pass the Strait, but the Houthi are attacking oil shipments in the Red Sea and I have no doubt will attack pipelines.  It appears if Saudi Arabia wants this fixed it will have organize a real war with Iran and it's proxies to bring this to an end.

• "Lebanon’s government is separating itself from Hezbollah on the Yemen front as well as the Israeli one, and the work is being done by the prime minister’s statements and a judge’s warrants rather than by the army. A state that can condemn, charge and telephone the head of the Saudi-backed government in Yemen is further along than it was a year ago. It still has not disarmed Hezbollah."... 
• Lebanon wants to avoid being drug into "foreign" wars for the benefit of others, and Hezbollah is part of that problem.  Red Sea’s African shore is dividing into blocs. Egypt, Sudan and Eritrea are lining up against Ethiopia, and Rabat has decided that the end of the UN mission ends UN monitoring of the ceasefire in the Sahara. 

It was reported yesterday regarding the Badr Agreement which is a Sunni defense agreement between Pakistan, Turkey, Qatar, and Indonesia needs to be watched, and the Mecca Pact is already fraying at the edges, which doesn't surprise me at all, and done so because "Pakistan, Turkey and Qatar each have ties to Islamist groups. Pakistan shelters Islamist militant factions. Turkey and Qatar both support the Muslim Brotherhood and host Hamas figures."

The Turkish Parliament voted on support of the Mecca Pact but "has yet to provide any offensive military support to Saudi Arabia against the Houthis in Yemen, and Pakistan’s contributions are more in homeland defense."   Ethiopia, Sudan, the UAE are in conflict, and even Egypt has been drawn into this, with one observer asking Why Does Ethiopia Get the Russian Jets Washington Denied Egypt? 

What's called Kurdistan isn't really a country. It's a ethnic cultural geographical region made up of parts of Turkey, Iran, Syria, and some say parts of the Caucuses, and the Kurds want their own independent nation combining those regions, all of which are in dispute. While they may not have a recognized nation, they do have a 100 seat parliament and have chosen a new Speaker, who only got 51 votes, which I think is really interesting since they don't have a country, they hate everyone and everyone hates them, and they don't seem to even be harmonious among themselves.

Israel has been given American go ahead to continue attacks against Iran on one day and then President Trump says he may not continue attacks.  He's vacillated on this from the beginning, is it any wonder the American public is irritated at him over this?  Is it any wonder Israel is mired in their internal politics over this.    Iran's goal in the Strait has been to "frustrate efforts by the United States and its allies to bring down global oil prices”, and has been successful in sinking ships.  Anyone accused of supporting Reza Pahlavi and Israel are being executed, and their internal security is so vast it's impossible to organize a movement against the Iranian tyranny.  

Strikes in Gaza continue taking out senior officials working against the ceasefire agreement.  How true it may be, the State Department claims “we are making real progress toward a demilitarized Gaza”.  That just might be a little bit delusional.  

Hamas Found to Be Storing Weapons in Mosques - Wow, who saw this coming? As everyone knows, Islam is a beautiful religion of peace, and mosques are peaceful houses of worship, akin to churches or synagogues, places of prayer, contemplation, worship, and the healing of the soul. 

Anyone who thinks otherwise, and especially anyone who gets the crazy idea that mosques might have something to do with jihad violence, is just a greasy Islamophobe — right? 

Well, as it turns out, Hamas is full of greasy Islamophobes.  Israel National News reported Tuesday “the IDF and Shin Bet on Monday struck and destroyed five Hamas weapon storage facilities and a Hamas launch site in several strikes across the Gaza Strip.” What’s that? You thought Hamas had already turned in all its weapons, as it was supposed to do under the terms of Trump’s grand plan for lasting peace in the Middle East?

Is this the real explanation behind October 7? Rumors are rife in Israel that October 7 was indeed made possible thanks to a leftist plot to destroy Netanyahu.

Somalia is tearing itself apart, which shouldn't shock anyone, over efforts to have President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud's term extended and their Supreme court says that's not legal. So, the military has surrounded their Supreme Court.... I guess they feel that's a very strong legal argument in their favor.  In Nigeria their Federal High Court has "nullified the election of former Senate President David Mark as the leader of the opposition African Democratic Congress party, or ADC, and ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission not to recognize any decision made under his leadership, including the nomination of Atiku Abubakar as the ADC's presidential candidate in Nigeria's Jan. 16, 2027, general election...."

What could possibly go wrong? 

What I'm Reading

 By Rich Kozlovich

Twice monthly John Droz Jr. puts out an e-mail newsletter called Media Balance Newsletter, that provides access to information that's well worth viewing on every issue we're facing, and it's free. As an example, it turns out NYC teachers promote nearly 100% of students, with half of them lacking proficiency on either math or reading.    One writer noted her son was admitted to one of "New York’s top-rated schools, we had every reason to believe he would continue to excel."  As it turns out he wasn't a "A" student as his grade cards showed in middle school. In fact he couldn't do basic math let alone algebra.  

"The DOE enables failure in minority communities by constantly lowering their standards instead of grading our children accurately, and by failing to collaborate with families to address issues kids may be having. They don’t even police chronic absenteeism. How can our kids get jobs if they can’t read or do math, and not even taught the value of showing up? I soon found out my family was not alone in feeling cheated."

What higher education does to these young people is even worse, they're teaching them to hate America, and has given way to corrupted history promoted by people like Howard Zinn.  

In the nation's universities teaching "law, nursing, psychology, medicine, and social work", they're still operating under DEI mandates.  Is it any wonder how so many of the public has become so mentally deranged they chose those who are openly promoting tyranny in this last mid term election?  As a result 14 Million in four of America’s largest cities will now live under Socialist mayoral rule.  

In NYC two Muslim cops apparently decided it's time to start imposing Sharia law on NYC citizens... you know... just like they do in Iran.  A nurse walking her dog was threatened with arrest and seizure of her dog for the crime of........oh wait, it turns out she didn't commit any crime at all, and the cops refused to answer what crime she committed when asked..... just like Iran.  Fortunately there were witnesses that prevented them from getting away with this, but the question that needs to be asked and answered is this: What will the Mamdani administration do about this?  Answer? Nothing.  

Another question that needs asked and answered is:  Did America really choose these radicals?  As Dan Rather used to intone with great gravity: "Questions remain". 

It’s interesting that in 2022 there were 51.3 million Democrats who voted. In 2026 there were 70.4 million Democrats who voted. Where did that extra 20 million Democrat voters come from?

One online commenter noted he was seeing an " increasing groundswell on the Right saying the entire election was stolen", and says we need to be careful and use "discernment" over this. Here's the thing I can't answer. If this election was stolen, how can it be proven? If it can be proven how could that overturn the election? If it can be overturned, who has the power to do so? Finally, if this election was stolen, and there's no way to prove it and stop the corruption that allowed this election to be stolen, what does that mean for 2028?  If these strange people can get elected can we doubt someone like Governor Newsom, with all his gigantic failures as governor of California, can be elected as President of the United States?

People like Meghan McCain and others claim the Republicans chose candidates who couldn't win, insisting RINO'S like Cornyn and Tellis would have won, which I doubt. What I really found strange is the Democrats chose radicals as candidates who are openly and stunningly weird and destructive to the nation, like Abdul El-Sayed who's declared Michigan is the ‘Capital of Arab America’.  Tree moss should have been able to beat them. 

Now I think it's time for a little satire from someone allegedly named, Exavier Saskagoochie, who published this piece, Russell Brand Converts to Islam; All Charges Dropped.

Cartoon Roundup and The Week That Was

By Rich Kozlovich 

As a result of his travels to many different lands, all with their unique cultures 2500 years ago, Herodotus noted that “culture was king’, and the results of this midterm election shows America’s culture has a serious problem.

California elected a governor who can reasonably be held responsible for the exploitation of children. There will be up to ten Muslims in the Congress who want to impose Sharia law and dump the Constitution and eight men who claim they’re women.  Not to mention there are Members of Congress that openly demand Republicans not only be prosecuted, some want them shot for daring to oppose them.   

This didn’t happen overnight.  For 237 years this effort to destroy western civilization's Judaic/Christian culture was the long game in Europe and in America it’s been the game plan since late 19th century, we can reasonably say almost 150 years. We’re not going to overturn that with court cases, and even elections.  As it is now; culture is king, and corruption is queen, and the battle has to taken into the schools and the churches/synagogues which seriously need to be purged of their woke corrupt leaders. That will take time.  We may not have the time, the demographics nor the consensus to accomplish that.

Thune and company smugly and arrogantly squandered their time in “power”.  In the time between now and January when the Democrats take complete control, it's too late for any meaningful legislative action.  Where a 60 vote requirement is necessary the Democrats will filibuster. Where 60 votes aren’t required the RINO’s will not support a Republican majority vote. The Republican party is heading to an accounting with the base and if there’s not a purge it’s leadership before 2028, all is lost.  However, Ireland my be rejoicing as Rosie O’Donnell says she may return to the U.S.
