The 14th Amendment Is Not a Suicide Pact - Chronicles
President Biden’s years-long abrogation of his duty to protect America’s borders from foreign invasion led to a nasty snapback when Donald Trump entered the Oval Office on Jan. 20, 2025. - Mark G. Brennan
That day, President Trump issued Executive Order No. 14,160, “Protecting the Meaning and Value of American Citizenship.”
That day, President Trump issued Executive Order No. 14,160, “Protecting the Meaning and Value of American Citizenship.”
- Trump’s edict sought to stop further issuance of citizenship documents to the children of either illegal aliens or temporary visitors.
- In other words, birthright citizenship—the granting of citizenship to babies born on U.S. soil regardless of their parents’ legal status—would be no more.
Consider the 14th Amendment’s Citizenship Clause in its entirety:
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside...

The Russian invasion of Ukraine and Iran's interdiction of the Straits of Hormuz and the Bab al Mandeb and the resulting decline in 'fossil fuel' supply have...

2) Pushed governments, who already taxing their workforce to the max to support welfare, migrants and woke to subsidize energy costs forced to increase it again
3) Created demands for more drilling and nuclear power that are anathema to the Left

The New York Times' hate-filled agenda against Trump drags on amid the ongoing war against Iran
Nevertheless, haters of Israel and President Trump, in the media and elsewhere, have a new rationale for their condemnation of America’s involvement in the Iran war. -Michael Goodwin
A chief peddler of this fable is, predictably, The New York Times.
- According to the latest blame-the-Jews bile, Trump was persuaded to attack the Islamist regime only by a deceptive “hard sell” from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

- A font of misinformation and biased reporting about everything Trump, starting with the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax in his first term...
Alaska eyeing another epic pipeline * WorldNetDaily * by James Varney, Real Clear Wire
Alaska eyeing another epic pipeline * WorldNetDaily * by James Varney, Real Clear Wire:
The answers lie hundreds or even thousands of miles away, among lawmakers in Juneau, in oil and gas company executive suites in New York and Texas, and in capitals of potential buyers spread across the Asian rim. The solutions are being sought while warfare has erupted against Iran, which makes Alaska's supply even more attractive, and the pockets of natural gas that state residents currently draw on are dwindling.

Disgruntled employee starts massive fire at a 1.2 million square foot warehouse in Ontario, California.
29-year-old Chamel Abdulkarim was arrested on arson charges for setting a Kimberly-Clark warehouse on fire. - Collin Rugg@CollinRugg
Abdulkarim apparently filmed himself on Instagram setting toilet paper packages in the warehouse on fire. "You may not pay us enough to f*cking live, but these b*tches dirt cheap... There goes your inventory," Abdulkarim apparently said. "All you had to do is pay us enough to live. All you had to do was pay us enough to f*cking live."
The warehouse is the size of 11 city blocks...
For Minnesota, climate obsession is just another fiscal disaster * WorldNetDaily * by Daniel Turner, Real Clear Wire
For Minnesota, climate obsession is just another fiscal disaster * WorldNetDaily * by Daniel Turner, Real Clear Wire:
It's not hyperbole to say that Minnesota is a fiscal disaster.
And that is not just my opinion. Nearly 100 mayors in the state signed a letter to their Governor Tim Walz questioning his policies under which an $18 billion budget surplus became a $3 billion deficit during a three-day period.
In the private sector, a decline this precipitous would get any CEO fired or indicted. Textbooks should be written about such economic ineptitude, but instead of accountability or serious cost cutting to restore sound budgetary footing, Walz' fellow Democrats chose a cowardly path: corporate extortion.
I honestly thought this map was made up.
Hundreds of supertankers, the kind that carry two million barrels each, are currently racing toward the US Gulf Coast from every direction. - Jesús Enrique Rosas - The Body Language Guy @Knesix
Atlantic, Indian Ocean, around Africa, the scenic route, the "we were heading to Saudi Arabia but NVM" route.
Atlantic, Indian Ocean, around Africa, the scenic route, the "we were heading to Saudi Arabia but NVM" route.
Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz and everyone panicked. Oil hit $126 a barrel. Gas hit $4 a gallon.
Cable news did the thing where they put a red banner on screen and say "CRISIS" in a font that suggests you should be hoarding toilet paper.
- And then something happened that nobody in media seems interested in reporting, for obvious reasons. The world just... switched suppliers?...
