964 – Why socialism is evil—Every Variant Is Leftist

With socialists and communists occupying elected positions in both the United States and Canada, how is it possible that so many people living in the most free nations on earth could possibly embrace the ideology of socialism?

That’s a question plaguing many on the Right, who often mistakenly assume that those on the Left share their love of individual freedom.

“From each according to his ability to each according to his need” has long been a socialist bromide, seen by some as a virtuous altruistic ideology upon which a society should be based.

But one need only take that slogan literally to recognize that this is a prescription for human slavery – the very political prescription that is followed by socialist, communist, and fascist dictatorships everywhere. Continue reading »

963 – Reservations not required—they’re just an Indian Act

In the wake of outrageous and absurd ‘indigenous land claims’ being made on lands and territories where no such claims can possibly be valid, the time has long passed to settle a few issues and questions surrounding the real political agenda behind these claims.

From the issue of basic definitions and terms, to the actual history of North America’s Indians, and to their current conditions when segregated on ‘Indian reservations,’ ignorance about these factors has led to the creation of racist narratives used by the Left to justify its continual attacks against basic private property rights.

On the definition front, in his May 3 Substack article, Robert Vaughan explains that “The myth of the ‘indigenous’ somehow being special is simply that – a myth.” Citing the roots and definition of the word ‘indigenous,’ he observes that “Nobody can be considered to be ‘Indigenous’ to the place they currently live – not the English in Britain, not the Chinese in China, and not the ‘Indigenous’ peoples of North America.”

Beyond this epistemological crisis, there have been decades of fictional stories and histories told about North America’s Indians, leading to the false impression that ‘racism’ was somehow at the root of the disputes and wars between them and the new European settlers. But far from being peaceful and noble stewards of the land, as so many narratives depict them, “The Indians were brutal – to settlers and to each other.” (Matt Walsh, April 2, 2026) Continue reading »

962 – Have no faith in constitution—but in yourselves

Preserving the free nation that has been handed down to its descendants is a mission that many on the Right would wholeheartedly defend, and rightly so.

Towards that end, the importance or significance of having a written constitution to preserve and identify certain basic principles and rules upon which such a country is founded is paramount.

However, even when such documents exist, laws and constitutions aren’t worth the paper they’re written on if the people to whom they apply no longer abide by them.

When it comes right down to it, with or without a written constitution, all societies are effectively governed or ruled by convention. That means that whatever current values and practices are being applied and broadly accepted without resistance or opposition effectively become the law. Continue reading »

961 – The Right’s struggle—with being Right

How is it that ‘socialism’ continues to gain so much popular and political support when it should be understood by all that socialism destroys wealth and causes poverty?

And how is it that ‘capitalism’ continues to lose popular and political support when it should be understood by all that capitalism is the only system capable of producing wealth and creating prosperity?

As many on the Right struggle to understand this, they have been entertaining the idea that the Right has a ‘branding problem.’ Ironically this is correct, but the ‘problem’ is less about ‘branding’ than it is about a failure to precisely define what it is that requires branding.

For example, among the various factions considered to be on the Right are ‘small-c conservatives,’ libertarians, patriots, freedom-loving individuals, nationalists, free trade advocates, constitutionalists, reformers and others. Continue reading »

960 – Language of fools—socialism’s absurdity

Comments Off

Apr 152026

In the aftermath of the world-wide ridicule and laughter directed at the Woke behavior witnessed at Canada’s NDP conference, it was easy to overlook the fact that the same behavior was being exhibited elsewhere, most notably at the so-called ‘No Kings’ rallies held in both the United States and in Canada.

Fueled exclusively by what is widely recognized as TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome), these protests once again illustrated the absurdity of those on the Left, as they attempted to equate Donald Trump’s democratically established presidential authority with that of some kind of medieval monarch.

And on another socialist front, the latest Woke phrase to attract further laughter and ridicule apparently goes by the acronym: MMIWG2SLGBT2QIA+

The utterly ridiculous concept described by this acronym is “Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women Girls and 2 Spirit Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Queer Questioning Intersex and Asexual Plus People.” Of course, there is no such thing or class of people.

959 – You will own nothing NDP happy—socialism is an absurdity

Comments Off

In vowing that his party would use “the unmatched power of public ownership,” Canada’s New Democratic Party leader Avis Lewis was really saying “You will own nothing NDP happy.”

As the world ridiculed and laughed at all of the ‘points of privilege’ who attended the party’s March 29 conference in Winnipeg Manitoba, the really laughable fool at the event was Avi Lewis himself, as he and his party continue to advocate the absurdity that is ‘socialism’.

Citing private enterprise and private profits, Lewis reminded his audience “that this country is awash in wealth. We can have nice things. The money is there! We need a government with the courage to go and get it for all of us.”

That such glaring envy, greed, and avarice should be seen as something to be admired in a political party leader – along with his outright calls for the theft of private property – is perhaps among the greatest tragedies of today’s political zeitgeist.

958 – Story time—heroes tell the tale

Is it possible that the most dangerous weapon in the entire world is a story? It’s a proposition that carries more weight than most might imagine.

If you’ve ever wondered why ‘controlling the narrative’ has become such a common phrase, it’s because as never before, people are becoming aware of the fact that they are perpetually immersed in an information war upon which the nature and values of their culture is being contested.

Behind the West’s growing dystopian zeitgeist has been a concerted effort on the part of the American entertainment industry to hijack the great stories and heroes of the distant and recent past. From stories about the American revolution to the sci-fi and fantasy realm of Superman and Star Trek, the promotion of heroism has virtually been abandoned, and with it, any concept or clarity about what distinguishes good from evil.
