“Liberals generally wish to preserve the concept of “rights” for such “human” rights as freedom of speech, while denying the concept to private property. And yet, on the contrary, the concept of “rights” only makes sense as property rights. For not only are there no human rights which are not also property rights, but the former rights lose their absoluteness and clarity and become fuzzy and vulnerable when property rights are not used as the standard.” —Murray N.

Do illegal immigrants have the right to stay in America, or can they be deported? Of course, they do not have such a right. Furthermore, as Brion McClanahan of the Abbeville Institute has pointed out, the Supreme Court has in numerous cases ruled that control of immigration is a federal matter, not one under state jurisdiction. You can argue that these precedents are wrong,  but that is the law as it exists today. That being so, if “progressive” Governors like Tim Walz of Minnesota oppose the removal of illegal immigrants, they cannot block immigration enforcement within their state.

Twenty-four-year-old dental hygienist and newlywed Zoe Dippel made an interesting discovery that went viral on TikTok.

A total of $155.34 was spent on this purchase.

President Trump says Americans are being “ripped off” by credit card companies that charge interest rates of 30 percent or more.

After having lived in California the past four years, I can attest to the near-insanity of progressive politics in this state, yet California’s very progressive governor, Gavin Newsom, is considered a front-runner for the Democratic Party’s nomination for president in 2028. Given how the Trump administration has helped to tank the economy through its tariffs, inflation, and outright regime uncertainty, there is a real possibility that Newsom can make California governance a reality for the entire country.

Whenever a new US president is sworn in, media pundits and court historians gush about the supposed “peaceful transfer of power” that is taking place. This has become a key tenet of the mythology and ideology surrounding democracy—that governing elites willfully abandon their control over the machinery of the state in response to election outcomes.
