R. Cort Kirkwood The nation’s nuclear waste program will no longer be in the hands of a bald, mustachioed weirdo who wears dresses, heels, and lipstick to his job at the Energy Department. The Department has fired Sam Brinton, deputy assistant secretary of the Office of Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition, because he has been charged twice with stealing luggage from airport carousels. The light...
By Wayne Allensworth If you live long enough and pay attention you learn some things. Every day could be your last. That abiding truth concentrates the mind. Every day should be thanksgiving. Thank God you were born. You can factor in all the pain, all the sorrow, all the disappointment, yet still find that it’s worth it. Living is better than not having lived. And the pain can be overcome...
By Wayne Allensworth Your humble servant has noted on this website that the NATO war against Russia can no longer be considered a “proxy” war. It has become evident that NATO is deeply involved in command and control, intelligence, targeting, and sending lots of advisors to take part in tactical planning and operations in the Ukraine war. What’s more, the Ukrainian “Foreign Legion” is loaded with...
By R. Cort Kirkwood A remarkable phenomenon on the neoconservative Respectable Right appears to be the periodic urge to attack the late conservative intellectual Sam Francis, dead now 17 years. Calling Francis a “racist” or “white nationalist” and smearing his admirers makes good copy for Big Journalism, meaning the communist Mainstream Media. The attack is a signal: One is on the “right side of...

By Wayne Allensworth In a much-anticipated September 21 speech to the Russian people, President Vladimir Putin announced a “partial mobilization” of Russian reservists, as well as support for referenda on annexation to the Russian Federation to be conducted in Russian held territories in Eastern and Southeastern Ukraine. The mobilization will be partial; up to 300,000 of millions of reservists...
by Tom Piatak Pope Francis said something important in his news conference on the flight back from Kazakhstan: “To defend oneself is not only a right, but it’s also an act of love for the homeland. If someone doesn’t defend something, they don’t love it.” Francis was talking about the Ukrainians’ defense of their country from the Russian invasion. He would not use the same language to describe...
By Wayne Allensworth Ask, and it shall be given you; seek and ye shall find; knock and it shall be opened unto you: For everyone that asketh recieveth; and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened Matthew 7: 7-8 The road ahead seems to be taking us directly into a mountainous cloud, a wonderous snowy escarpment surrounded by roiling white foothills that look like cotton ball sculptures that have...
By Wayne Allensworth The day my grandfather tripped and nearly fell on the sidewalk in front of his house, and I did not help him, I was in my late 20s and he was nearing 90. Let me explain myself. I was very close to my paternal grandfather, a man who to me seemed like a hero from one of the Western movies I loved so well. He thought of himself as man of the West.

By Darrell Dow In 2016, Donald Trump announced his candidacy in a meandering speech which is widely remembered for his comments about Mexican immigration. Immigration was, of course, central to Trump’s 2016 success.
