Nihilism is the religion of the Left. Anarchy is now at the core of the new Democratic Party.

If the Left wished radically to alter the demography of the U.S., it could have expanded legal immigration through legislation or the courts.

Instead, it simply erased the border and dynamited federal immigration law...

... today leftist prosecutors do not even seek bail...

The United States can produce annually more natural gas and oil than any nation on earth...

Instead, the left deliberately cut back on pipelines, new energy leases, and fracking...

Is the nihilist agenda to punish with bankruptcy the energy-using middle class?...

... prices on staples remain 30-40 percent higher than when Biden took office. Mortgage rates tripled...

Few countries could even imagine discarding billions of dollars of weapons and hardware into the hands of the terrorist Taliban, or abandoning a $1 billion new embassy, and a huge, remodeled air base...

The old politics of right versus left, and Republican opposed to Democrat have now given way to a new existential struggle: Americans must choose between civilization - or its destroyers.

Nihilism has always been at the heart of leftism... The traditional family -- foundational to a healthy society -- is subject to the wrecking ball. Children are specifically targeted. The smut peddled in schools isn’t just about a means of shattering time-honored beliefs and values but shattering fragile souls...

America’s cultural degradation began in the late 1960s. The counterculture was the primary agent. Libertinism has been battling traditionalism ever since...

In this quest to ruin America, institutions, public and private, have been thoroughly infiltrated -- actually, in some ways, ceded by traditionalists. Schools, media, and entertainment have seen decades of steady retreat by traditionalists who prefer other pursuits. Culture is the captive of the degenerate elite...

 And how does the majority win? As Carlson said, by living the truth thoroughly, by telling the truth in the face of a barrage of deceits, and by standing strong...
