Are you a Confederate but Don't Know It?
By Charley Reese
Abbeville Institute

Most of the political problems in this country won't be settled until more folks realize the South was right.

I know that goes against the P.C. edicts, but the fact is that on the subject of the constitutional republic, the Confederate leaders were right and the Northern Republicans were wrong.

Many people today even argue the Confederate positions without realizing it.

For example, if you argue for strict construction of the Constitution, you are arguing the Confederate position; when you oppose pork-barrel spending, you are arguing the Confederate position; and when you oppose protective tariffs, you are arguing the Confederate position. But that's not all.

When you argue for the Bill of Rights, you are arguing the Confederate position, and when you argue that the Constitution limits the power and jurisdiction of the federal government, you are arguing the Confederate position.

One of the things that gets lost when you adopt the politically correct oversimplification that the War Between the States was a Civil War all about slavery is a whole treasure load of American political history.

It was not a civil war. A civil war is when two or more factions contend for control of one government. At no time did the South intend or attempt to overthrow the government of the United States. The Southern states simply withdrew from what they correctly viewed as a voluntary union. They formed their own union and adopted their own constitution.

The U.S. government remained intact. There were just fewer states, but everything else remained as exactly as it was. You can be sure that, with as much bitterness and hatred of the South that there was in the North, the Northerners would have tried Confederates for treason if there had been any grounds. There weren't, and the South's worst enemy knew that.

Abraham Lincoln's invasion of the South was entirely without any constitutional authority. And it's as plain as an elephant in a tea party that Lincoln did not seek to preserve the Union to end slavery. All you have to do is read his first inaugural address. What Lincoln didn't want to lose was tax revenue generated by the South.

As Northern states gained a majority in both houses, they began to use the South as a cash cow. Here's how it worked: Most Southerners who exported cotton bartered the cotton in Europe for goods. When the protective tariffs were imposed, that meant Southerners had to pay them. To make matters worse, the North would then use the revenue for pork-barrel projects in its states. The South was faced with either paying high tariffs and receiving no benefits from the revenue or buying artificially high-priced Northern goods.

Southerners opposed pork-barrel spending. Their correct view was that, because the federal government was merely the agent of all the states, whatever money it spent should be of equal benefit. Their position on public lands was that they belonged to all the people and the federal government had no authority to give the lands away to private interests.

Northerners had announced they would not be bound by the Constitution. What you had was the rise of modern nationalism fighting the original republic founded by the American Revolution.

So, regardless of where you were born, you may be a Southerner philosophically.

Scottish Boy Who Wouldn't Bow to Mecca Goes Viral



An image of a six-year-old Beaver scout who remained standing during an Islamic prayer has gone viral. The action, filmed during a youth trip to the Central Scotland Islamic Centre in Stirling, Scotland, has been widely shared on social media.

Whereas Muslims pray five times daily while facing their holy city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia, a group of Beavers--part of an affiliate programme of the Scout Association aimed at boys and girls ages six to eight--was encouraged to take part in the ritual as part of earning their "Faith Activity Badge."

Alongside a representative of the Islamic Centre, the scout leader and his young charges are shown prostrating themselves before Allah, although one little lad clearly refused to do so. At the time of writing, a six-second video clip shared on X by Tommy Robinson (Stephen Yaxley-Lennon) has gained more than 1.7 million views.

Yesterday, the New York Times ran a story with the nearly incomprehensible headline, "Justice Dept. Is Said to Open Criminal Inquiry of E. Jean Carroll, Who Accused Trump of Rape." (Why not just "Justice Dept. Opens Criminal Inquiry of E. Jean Carroll?" But never mind.)

According to 'sources,' the DOJ is preparing to indict Jean for perjury-- the same way Congressman Richard Nixon finally nailed Soviet spymaster and State Department darling Alger Hiss. (Unfortunately, not before Hiss helped draft the UN Charter; but I digress.)

E. Jean Carroll famously sued President Trump during the lawfare years of the Biden interregnum. She claimed a 25+ years-before rape in the unlikely location of Bergdorf Goodman's dressing room. Her suit was filed long past the statute of limitations, but was resurrected by a brand-new New York law tailor-made to revive her claim. The circus-like trial was a travesty of a comedy.

The NYC jury ultimately rejected the rape charge, but awarded about $5 million in damages for assault. (Later she'd get another $83.3 million for defamation damages from a different Manhattan jury for Trump's denials that he did anything wrong.)

Her perjury charge seems pretty airtight. Caroll initially denied under oath ever having been paid or funded by anyone to bring the rape case against President Trump. But later, her attorneys admitted in court that she had received money from Reid Hoffman, the corpulent billionaire co-founder of LinkedIn --and Democrat super-donor-- who is also alleged to have funded the mostly peaceful protests at burned-down Tesla dealerships.

Beyond goofy Ms. Carroll, her much more sinister billionaire funder Reid Hoffman has already been in the DOJ's crosshairs since November, when then-Attorney General Pam Bondi confirmed the DOJ was investigating Hoffman for his many and substantial ties to Jeffrey Epstein. "He's a sleazebag," Trump explained at the time.

Hoffman could also be implicated in Caroll's perjury indictment, assuming it happens, if he encouraged or asked her to lie.

From Aleister Crowley though members of British parliament to Jeffrey Epstein. A very interesting historical background.

"Socialists suck because they confuse wanting something with knowing how to provide it."


"They begin with compassion because compassion is easy when the bill goes to someone else."
