“In philosophy, the Nietzschean Übermensch frees himself from the pedestrian bounds of humanity to become a superior being that can rule us mere mortals. In our reality, the men who fancy themselves Übermenschen — and who, unfortunately, are currently in charge of both the US government and much of the rest of the world — are huge losers and crybabies, despite getting basically everything they want. We’re living through a golden age for losers who don’t seem to realize how much they keep telegraphing their loserdom to the rest of us. They preen and pose as world-conquering superheroes while continually exposing just how sniveling and pathetic they really are. Their impulse to tell on themselves has been on full display in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s assassination.” (09/30/25)

“Zohran Mamdani, the person who defeated Cuomo in the primaries and is now seen as a mayoral contender for New York — the beating heart of capitalism — recently declared in an interview: ‘I don’t think we should have billionaires.’ Mamdani is not alone in this view. The visible edge of economic populism—the slogans, the soundbites—often conceals an intellectual iceberg beneath: ideas inherited from defunct economists, or sometimes living ones. One such idea with deep roots is limitarianism: the belief that there should be a cap on personal wealth.” (09/30/25)

“In ‘Government by Judiciary: The Transformation of the Fourteenth Amendment’ Raoul Berger argues that the Fourteenth Amendment is treated by activist judges as a platform for ‘social and political revolution.’ In theory, the role of the courts is to interpret the Constitution not to amend it. Nevertheless, by treating the Fourteenth Amendment as a ‘vague and elastic’ tool designed to forge a brave world of racial equality, progressive judges have conferred revolutionary powers on themselves.” (09/30/25)

“Ahead of Tuesday hearings on the subject, the Senate’s Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee (HSGAC) obtained documents showing three members of Congress, all Republicans, were followed under the TSA’s just-discontinued Quiet Skies program, which became infamous last summer when whistleblowers revealed bomb-sniffing dogs and Air Marshals were assigned to follow former Hawaii Congresswoman and future National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard. The members’ names have not yet been publicly released, but they were turned over to the Committee by the Department of Homeland Security, along with ‘TSA’ notes explaining how they ended up on the list.” (09/30/25)

“It’s never difficult to find hypocrisy on the part of Republicans. As they fervently preach their favorite mantra, ‘free enterprise, private property, and limited government,’ they, at the same time, continue to support every socialist, interventionist, and regulatory program that comes down the pike, including Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, welfare, subsidies, the minimum wage, economic regulations, immigration controls, public (i.e., government) schooling, the national-security establishment, tariffs, trade wars, income taxation, and many more. A recent example of Republican hypocrisy comes with respect to what Republicans and Democrats call a ‘free speech’ issue but which is actually an issue based on private-property rights, a concept that both major political parties treat with disdain.” (09/30/25)

“From the start, New Jersey Democrat Rep. Mikie Sherrill tried to have it both ways. She voted for the Charlie Kirk resolution and then trashed him in a press release hours later. That is not courage. That is cowardice. And it proves she is unfit for higher office. When New Jersey GOP gubernatorial candidate Jack Ciattarelli confronted her with the facts, Sherrill had no answers. She hid behind cheap shots and outright lies. Her central attack, that Ciattarelli would raise the sales tax to 10%, collapsed on stage. He flatly stated he would not raise the sales tax or any tax. But when asked point-blank to promise she would not raise sales, income or property taxes, Sherrill refused. She actually said she ‘would not commit.’ In plain English: she is leaving the door wide open to hiking your taxes, and you can bet she will, just like Democrat Governor Phil Murphy.” (09/30/25)
