American Empire Demands a Caesar

Trump is hardly our first emperor. The warfare state has been trampling the Constitution for a long time.The United States has adorned its president with extravagance that makes Roman emperors appear frugal by comparison. And such visible signs of the deification of our president are complemented by legal doctrines that echo Richard Nixon’s once discredited claim to David Frost: “When the president does it, that means it is not illegal.” These extra-constitutional developments reflect the transformation of the United States from a republic, whose glory was liberty and whose rule of law was king, to an empire, whose glory is global dominion and whose president is law.

Leon Valley, TX — Over the weekend, the chief of police for the Leon Valley Police Department called a late-afternoon press conference to address police accountability activists live-streaming officers. However, as soon as the conference began, chief Joseph Salvaggio began arresting people and then detained the entire crowd. Over the past two months, Salvaggio has been the subject of multiple videos and independent media articles for his alleged corruption. According to the group National Association for Individual Rights, the controversy began on May 2, when Jesus Padilla was arrested while filming inside Leon Valley City Hall. It continued into last week. As TFTP ...
SCOTUS ruling on Janus is about to change the American political landscape [involuntary union dues] [Full Thread]

Justice Alito wrote the decision and it followed along with the expectations of those who watched the case play out before the court. Also as expected, this was a 5-4 decision, split along partisan lines. At the heart of Janus was the question of whether or not unions can forcibly extract dues from workers’ paychecks without the worker proactively volunteering to contribute. In parallel to that, the court had to determine whether or not those extracted fees, being put toward lobbying efforts, constituted involuntary political speech on the part of the worker. The ruling answers both questions definitively. You can read the full decision here but I’ve extracted a couple of the ...

Leftist revolutionaries pushing US over the edge From celebrities calling on citizens to take to the streets, to members of Congress calling for the public harassment of White House officials, to mob justice at restaurants — is the US heading toward a new kind of Civil War? Well, some people think the seeds of a new Civil War have already been sown — and in a recent article, University of Tennessee Law Professor Glenn Harlan Reynolds argued in a USA Today column that this new war is indeed “well underway.” Reynolds was echoing similar comments from political scientist Thomas Schaller who wrote in a recent Bloomberg column that America is “at the beginning of a ...

Surveillance cameras seem to be popping up everywhere these days. People use them to protect their homes. Police departments across the U.S. use them to spot crimes 24/7.Even the U.S. military has used surveillance cameras to keep an eye on certain bases and embassies. This can be a good way to keep us safe, but it also could lead to a loss of privacy. In fact, we told you last year that the Chinese government may have found a way to use surveillance cameras against you. (PssT! Scroll to the end of this article to listen to Kim's free podcast dealing with the Chinese government spying on you.) You would probably expect that type of shady activity from the Chinese government, but not ...

If you vote for Trump, then you the voter, you, not Donald Trump, are standing at the border like Nazis going ‘you here, you here’. – Donny Deutsch on MSNBC last week Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you. – Friedrich Nietzsche With each passing day, Trump’s hardcore supporters and detractors become more deeply entrenched in their respective corners and grow more hysterical. With every turn of the news cycle, we see two groups increasingly and equally convinced that only they and their allies can save the nation from total ruin. As ...

Clash Daily Animal rights activists harass a couple of guys fishing and it gets ugly. A couple of guys were out fishing on a bridge on a beautiful, sunny day. It’s an age-old thing that people do — hunting, fishing, out in nature, and bringing home food. But now in 2018, we have activists that want to stop that because they’re enlightened. They know better. And they believe that animal life is the same as human life.

The world is a vast place for us to explore, and so is our body. There’s just so many things in life that are left undiscovered, and eventually these mysteries will leave us hungry for something new and feed in into our endless curiosity. Some people choose to explore their mouthful palate and get kinky with their love lives (that can be equally disgusting), whilst others just find new ways to fill it with other uncommon things. Hey, at least they don’t vape laundry detergent like this guy. Here’s a list of unusual things humans eat that will leave you questioning our species. 1.

Farmers in America are killing themselves in staggering numbers

"Think about trying to live today on the income you had 15 years ago." That's how agriculture expert Chris Hurt describes the plight facing U.S. farmers today.The unequal economy that's emerged over the past decade, combined with patchy access to health care in rural areas, have had a severe impact on the people growing America's food. Recent data shows just how much. Farmers are dying by suicide at a higher rate than any other occupational group, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The suicide rate in the field of farming, fishing and forestry is 84.5 per 100,000 people—more than five times that of the population as a whole. ...
The Libertarian Case FOR Serving Sarah Huckabee Sanders (and Other People You Disagree With)

Her money is green, and you can talk to her while she's chowing down. My colleague Robby Soave has already published a libertarian defense of refusing to serve White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders. Over the weekend, Sanders and her party were bounced from the Red Hen, a restaurant in Virginia. The restaurant's owner said "this feels like the moment in our democracy when people have to make uncomfortable actions and decisions to uphold their morals." Well, sure, knock yourself out. The doctrinaire libertarian defense of the owner is pretty straightforward: A business owner should have the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason, good, bad, and ...

TOP 3 BEST DEBUT ROCK ALBUMS EVER [Full Thread]

Fully subjective of course, but most of us (loosely the Baby-Boomer Generation) have grown up listening to the best music this culture has been able to offer -- namely from the 50s-late 80s. We more than other generation were able to fully gauge, critique and appreciate each era and genre fully with a discriminating ear. For the sake of this exercise of opinion, the premise and challenge is, "BEST 3 DEBUT ALBUMS". The stiffest competition would actually be between the 70s and 80s. Rock Music (as a viable "Pop Music" genre died in the 20th Century. ergo, RIP, 1955-1999 Other categories worthy of discussion might be: "Best Overall Album" "Best ...

A nationwide restaurant chain is accused of "racial profiling" after a manager called the cops on a black sorority party Tuesday to ensure they paid their bill, according to a report. The group of roughly 40 Delta Sigma Theta members — which included a doctor and a judge — had to wait nearly half an hour for their bill at a Cleveland-area Bahama Breeze restaurant, according to Cleveland.com. When one woman threatened to leave if the bill wasn’t presented, a manager called police and had them remain at the eatery until the sorority party members all settled their tabs. The woman never left, and everyone paid their share. “Police were standing there to make ...

Before the 2016 election, people freely chose their sources for information, had discussions about the veracity and accuracy of those sources if they chose to question them, and then formed opinions based on those discussions. Now, however, this choice and discussion is quickly fading away and is being replaced by a seeming ministry of truth made up of ostensibly objective media outlets like Politifact, Snopes, and the Associated Press. For years, Snopes has been debunking articles and giving them questionable ratings because of their content, but this was never a big deal because readers like ours are smart enough to question Snopes and read the facts for themselves to make up their ...

Philippine president slammed for calling God 'stupid'

The Philippine president, notorious for having cursed the pope and world leaders like former U.S. President Barack Obama, has sparked new outrage by calling God "stupid" in Asia's largest Catholic country. Opposition Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV shot back Monday by describing President Rodrigo Duterte as "one evil man" and his remarks as "very much consistent with the deceitfulness, heartlessness and ruthlessness of his policies." Even some of Duterte's political allies were critical. A Catholic Bishop, Arturo Bastes, called the president a "madman" and urged Filipinos to pray for an end to Duterte's "blasphemous utterances and ...
Why We Can’t Drive Faster

Almost everything about cars has changed over the past 50 years – except for how fast we’re allowed to drive them.In 1970, you could legally drive 70-75 MPH on most highways – in cars with drum brakes, without ABS and not even one air bag. There was no Lane Keep Assist or Automated Emergency Braking and the headlights were pitiful things by the standards of the 1990s.But we can’t legally drive faster today in cars with more technology – and capability – than the race cars of 1970.What then is the point of all the technology?Yes, I know. Saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaafety. The accident (and fatality) rate has declined as all this stuff got glued to ...
