“‘Tyranny can now enter our country.’ Benjamin Rush dropped that warning in 1778 at the height of the War for Independence. But he wasn’t talking about Redcoats. Recognizing the nature of power and humanity, he was giving us a timeless warning about ‘ourselves’ and our own ‘great men.’ The Founders knew the score. History is littered with power-hungry rulers who use deception. They stage false flags. They manufacture crises or exploit real ones. The worst of them pretend to love liberty just to destroy it. In the end, it all leads to tyranny, and the greatest threat is from within.” (11/21/25)

“Tomorrow, November 22, marks the 62nd anniversary of the U.S. national-security establishment’s assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Yes, I know, there are still Americans who buy into the official ‘conspiracy-theory’ line and the official lone-nut theory of the assassination, but I most definitely am not one of them. For me, there is no doubt whatsoever that this was a regime-change operation based on protecting ‘national security’ from a president whose policies, they were convinced, posed a grave threat to ‘national security.'” (11/21/25)

“Felony murder ‘allows anyone who is accused of committing a violent felony to be charged with murder if the commission of that felony results in the death of someone.’ Under felony murder, prosecutors do not have to prove that a defendant had the intent to kill or was materially involved in the killing. Originally derived from English common law, the United States is the only country that still employs the felony murder rule, despite the United Kingdom and Commonwealth countries having prohibited it in the mid-20th century. This outdated form of punishment disproportionately impacts young people and minorities, fails to enhance public safety, and does not align with reasonable principles of justice. The felony murder rule has been misapplied for too long and it is time for this practice to end.” (11/21/25)

“The White House is ready for war. As the Trump administration’s made-for-Hollywood strikes on alleged drug-smuggling boats have dominated the news, the Pentagon has been positioning military assets in the Caribbean and Latin America and reactivating bases in the region. More recently, The Washington Post reported that high-level meetings were held about a possible imminent attack on Venezuela and The New York Times has learned that the president gave authorization for CIA operations there. There is one problem: Americans don’t seem to be very enthusiastic.” (11/21/25)
