The Trump administration has taken tangible steps to fight its internal enemies. The president and his officials have attacked the strongholds and redoubts of the entrenched Left both in the halls of power and in society more generally.

By now we have all heard about the shocking and tragic assassination of conservative pundit Charlie Kirk. For me it was a devastating turn of events simply because Charlie Kirk was part of the American Right—if not a brother, then a close cousin. I really felt the loss. Yes, he was mainstream.

While Trump’s style continues to dazzle and seemingly lay waste the leftists, both in America and abroad, a recent film has captivated the critics and the box office, dealing, as it does, with political repression.

A revelation which I had in prison (in some ways a relatively high-strung, low-trust, violent environment) is that violence is transactional. This lesson from prison politics is especially relevant to real world politics. (more…)

President Donald Trump is the avatar of white America — its embodiment — and any attack on him is an attack on the historic American nation. The only way that this ends without an explosion of political violence and a second civil war is if Trump survives the campaign and goes on to win the upcoming election against the most corrupt system in the history of modernity.
