Although resistance to these medicines occurs naturally, due to genetic changes in pathogens over time, this process can be exacerbated when humans use antimicrobials too frequently or do not finish a course fully. The result can be deadly, with […]

Britain Is Lost Authored by T.L.Davis,  A recent interview Tucker Carlson had with George Galloway, a long-time member of the British Parliament and with a show himself in Britain, who was recently detained at the border under terrorism charges for, apparently, the opinions broadcast on his show.

America's Poison Melting Pot And The Luxury Of Tolerance Authored by Brandon Smith via Alt-Market.us, Modern western culture is an absolute anomaly in the history of human civilization. If one studies the principles and doctrines of nearly every other society and empire around the world, you will not find one that allows mass immigration of foreigners with contrary ideologies. You will not find one that allows foreigners to migrate without strict assimilation and loyalty. From the Arab states, to China, South Korea, and Japan (until recently), to India and beyond, every […]

Why Trump's Next PR Pivot Must Be Total, Absolute Political Warfare On Socialism Authored by Scott Pinsker via PJ Media, "The more successful the villain, the more successful the picture." - Alfred Hitchcock AP Photo/Yuki Iwamura MAGA needs a new common enemy ASAP. Without one, three things will happen before the end of 2026: MAGA infighting will escalate.
