Is Donald Trump advocating for a new Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI)? Four decades ago, then-President Ronald Reagan proposed the US embark on the unthinkable. Reagan suggested moving away from the US Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD) nuclear national security strategy, which was, at the time, held sacrosanct. But MAD was based on the US having an […]

It has been said that everything in life is timing. A solid or spectacular body of work can be deflated by a single moment or single decision. Noteworthy or even legendary careers can crash and burn in the blink of an eye. Donald Trump found that out on a warm night in Butler, PA, when […]

There is a phenomenon in Christian circles commonly known as being born again. It means an unbelieving or agnostic person is mysteriously, and often suddenly, imbued with a powerful faith. The words of scripture, once meaningless or threatening, spring to life. It is a truism among the faithful that such born-again believers often possess a […]

The small southwestern city of Springfield, OH, is buckling beneath the burden of an enormous wave of Haitian migration directly choreographed by the Joe Biden administration’s increased use of “humanitarian parole” provisions in US immigration law. As has been demonstrated of late in major urban areas such as New York and Chicago, left-right political talking […]

The results are in! Who makes it into the top 20 this year? Big Box media continue to suffer the wrath of the thoughtful reader. Conservatives are tuning out from the alleged mainstream channels in droves. But where are they going for their news? With so many options available, sorting the good from the bad […]

Moments before officially becoming the Republican Party nominee for president, Donald Trump on July 15 named Ohio Senator JD Vance as his running mate. This crucial decision was met with cheers by the convention attendees but with a far more divided reception from conservative pundits and supporters in the wider world. And yet, despite the […]

Those of us who lived through the terrorist attacks of September 11 and the horrifying assassination of John F. Kennedy remember the aftermath as if it was yesterday. In both cases, as in the wake of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, a sense of sadness, depression even, overcame America. People […]

Amid all the finger-pointing, recriminations, and conspiracy theories surrounding the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump there is one thing upon which everybody should be able to agree, regardless of political persuasion. There was, at Trump’s Pennsylvania rally, a massive security failure. And for this, the United States Secret Service and local law enforcement […]

In the hours following the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, reactions both of concern and shock were evident and on display. World leaders condemned the horrific attack that saw Trump miraculously escape death after an incredibly close shot missed his head – leaving him with only minor […]

Many Democrats have called for Joe Biden to end his campaign for re-election and step aside. The president, however, assures America he won’t be pushed out and that he’ll beat Donald Trump once again. One of those assertions seems certain – the other, however, is rather dubious. And that presents a problem for the Democratic […]

As more Democrats and left-wing political pundits join the movement to persuade Joe Biden to give up his bid for a second term as commander-in-chief, the man in the Oval Office – or at least sometimes in the Oval Office – isn’t making any plans to pass the torch. On July 8, Biden wrote a […]

It’s summer; temperatures are high, and illegal aliens are dying in the hostile terrain that marks much of the porous US southern border. A particularly inhospitable part of New Mexico is the latest death zone in a colossal human tragedy that shows no signs of stopping any time soon. “US Border Patrol agents found four […]

Editor’s Note: From the Back Forty is Liberty Nation’s longest running and most popular weekly column.  It started with the most disastrous presidential debate in modern political history. A slow and steady drumbeat swelled into a cacophony of percussion from voters, media outlets, and even some Democrat lawmakers that President Joe Biden needed to step away for […]

Revelations that a hedge fund owned by Democratic Party megadonor James Simons invested heavily in several solar energy companies while his close friend, US Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), boosted the Biden administration’s Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) raise questions about not only the ties between the two men but also between climate ideology and […]

A famous quote attributed to a German World War I staff officer may best fit the mood of the fierce cadre of Never Trump proponents following President Joe Biden’s disastrous debate performance on June 27. Referring to the military burden imposed by an alliance with the crumbling Austria-Hungary empire, the officer lamented that “we are […]

Maybe the Democrats should have realized what the nation had discovered as far back as 1988, and then again in 2008. Those years were the building blocks of an endlessly ambitious quest for the highest office in the land by a man who bragged from an early age that he would one day become president. […]

It’s the day after the day after, and much of America is still reeling from a shocking debate performance by President Joe Biden. It was humiliating for him and an embarrassment for the nation. Anyone who has ever served as a leader in any capacity knows that at times like these, someone must step up […]

A January 6 convict convinced the Supreme Court that the Biden DOJ improperly charged him via a novel use of a financial crimes law. The 6-3 decision in Fischer v. US affects over 350 defendants charged similarly, including, perhaps, Donald J. Trump. Why did Biden’s DOJ use it against so many Jan 6 defendants? It […]

President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump met for a first-of-its-kind debate in Atlanta, Georgia, courtesy of CNN last night, June 27. The left-leaning Fourth Estate had – despite valiant efforts at lowering expectations – put all their credibility eggs in one Biden basket. Based on CNN’s own snap polling, the hopes that Joe […]

In the inimitable words of former President Ronald Reagan, “There you go again.” This simple phrase, which set President Jimmy Carter back on his heels during the final debate of the 1980 election, applies to the latest beat down progressive women doled out to their Republican counterparts. This time, the rancor oozes out of a […]

It’s official: The worst-run city for the second year in a row is none other than San Francisco. The city by the bay, long an inspiration for crooners and poets, has become a place where the heart may have been left, but the rest of the body is fleeing to places less littered with feces, […]

As next Thursday’s debate between two presidents approaches, the prevailing sentiment among political analysts on both sides – with good reason – is that both the network hosting the debate and the new rules agreed upon by the two campaigns are heavily skewed in favor of Joe Biden. For starters, despite Trump and Republicans’ previous […]

With the general election less than five months away, and as most of the nation considers the consequential political and cultural issues of the day, the biggest question swirling around in the background is: Will they, or won’t they? Will Democrats replace Joe Biden – and perhaps Kamala Harris, too – before Americans go to […]

During Donald Trump’s four years in the White House – and ever since – Democrats and left-wing pundits have often described his presidency as a time of chaos. Considering everything that has happened in the United States and the wider world since Joe Biden took over at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., this portrayal of the Trump […]
