By R. Cort Kirkwood Tren de Aragua, the Venezuelan Biden “migrant” gang that has established a beachhead in the United States, took over four apartment complexes in San Antonio, Texas. Able to do so only because President Joe Biden imported it, the gang is operating not only Texas, but also Colorado, Illinois, and New York. The latest exposé by the Daily Mail paints a frightening...
By Wayne Allensworth The vibe of this presidential election is different. Something’s in the air, the almost tangible sensation of a seismic political shift. This election does not fit the pattern that the usual suspects expect or anticipate. The political realignment that began with 2016 is playing out with the neocons returning to the leftist fold from whence they came, with many of the most...
By Wayne Allensworth America is quickly shifting from being a high trust society with lots of “social capital” to a condition much more common around the world, one in which ordinary people don’t trust institutions, don’t trust the government, and increasingly don’t trust one another. Professor Robert Putnam, author of Bowling Alone, reluctantly concluded that some time ago. In an atomized, hyper...
By R. Cort Kirkwood It’s bad enough that Vice President Kamala Harris, trying to look presidential, announced that the federal government would give victims of Hurricane Helena a whole $750. But adding insult to injury is what every citizen of Ukraine has received in federal aid since 2022: almost $5,000, nearly six times what the needy Americans who have lost everything will receive. And...
By Wayne Allensworth Students of history know that political assassinations are nothing new, that powerful political elites ruthlessly dispatch opponents. Thus do the two assassination attempts against former president Donald Trump occasion a look back at Soviet dictator Josef Stalin’s removal of a singularly troublesome opponent. On December 1, 1934, Leonid Nikolayev assassinated Communist Party...
By R. Cort Kirkwood Read the full article at the New American: Excerpt: Nearly 650,000 illegal-alien criminals are roaming American streets, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has confessed. In a letter to GOP U.S. Representative Tony Gonzales of Texas, ICE reported that almost 450,000 are convicted criminals, while another nearly 227,000 are criminal suspects. More than 13,000 are...
By Wayne Allensworth Bill and Shirley Allensworth Houston, Texas 1953 I recall the time and circumstances in which I knew once and for all I couldn’t go home again. It was 1992. We were back in Houston for Christmas. My wife and I took walks in the morning and passed still remaining landmarks that had taken on the air of museum exhibits. Or ruins. The post office. The old grocery store, now a...
by Wayne Allensworth For some time, we have been reading about the United States and the United Kingdom’s possibly permitting Ukraine to use American and British long-range missiles against targets not only in the warzone, but also deep in Russian territory. The weapons mentioned most often are British Storm Shadow (France also uses a variant of this system called SCALP) and American ATACMS...
By Wayne Allensworth If I had only one reason to vote for Trump-Vance in November, this would be enough: Kamala Harris voted against requiring doctors to render aid to babies born alive after a “botched” abortion. That alone tells us all we need to know about her and what her party has become. The “abortion van” outside the DNC only confirmed the ghoulishness of the ghastly, and, yes...
By Wayne Allensworth I recently finished reading J.D. Vance’s memoir, Hillbilly Elegy. The takeaways from that reading include: Vance’s rejection of fatalistic hopelessness. Hopelessness is pervasive among Vance’s people, and many have fallen into drug addiction, which has spurred on the collapse of the family. Encouraged by grandparents who expended so much of their lives and energy raising...
