80 Years After The Allies Won World War II, U.S. Taxpayers Are Funding European Authoritarianism

The United States has protected and bailed out Europe for far too long.

Rule by the people? Not anymore in the Western world



On Friday, Germany’s domestic intelligence agency officially labeled Alternative for Germany — the country’s most popular conservative party — as a “right-wing extremist” organization. The nationalist party surged to second place in February’s federal election, winning 20.8% of the vote. This new designation grants the ruling government expanded powers to surveil Alternative for Germany leaders and supporters and sets the stage for an outright ban.

Germany has now joined a growing list of Western governments that delay elections, disqualify candidates, and ban opposition parties — all in the name of defending democracy.

Democracy has become a marketing slogan — useful for justifying war and globalist expansion, but disposable when it interferes with ruling-class priorities.

To call Germany’s relationship with authoritarianism “complicated” understates the case. The country’s historical memory fixates on Nazism as the ultimate expression of right-wing extremism and mass atrocity. But that singular focus conveniently ignores the fact that the Soviet Union, which helped defeat the Third Reich, imposed its own brutal regime across East Germany until the Berlin Wall fell.

Modern Germany has seen tyranny from both the far right and the far left. Yet its national identity now orbits entirely around a rejection of right-wing politics. Anti-fascism has become something like a state religion. But when a country builds its identity on shame and self-repudiation, it risks cultural collapse. We’ve seen the same pathology infect America, where elite institutions push a national narrative defined entirely by slavery and racial guilt.

Every nation has dark chapters. A mature society learns from them. It doesn’t define itself by them forever.

While German history explains some of its deep aversion to nationalism, the trend of suppressing populist movements in the name of democracy has spread far beyond Berlin.

Brazil’s Supreme Court banned former President Jair Bolsonaro from seeking office until 2030. Romania’s Constitutional Court voided its 2024 election, citing supposed Russian influence in the rise of populist candidate Călin Georgescu. And in the United States, courts came dangerously close to removing Donald Trump from the ballot — while the president now fights legal battles over whether he can exercise executive power at all under Article II of the Constitution.

This isn’t democracy defending itself. It’s ruling elites trying to outlaw their opposition.

Western elites justify their dominance by invoking democracy and individual liberty. That wasn’t always the case. The West once called itself Christendom — a civilizational identity grounded in faith, tradition, and truth. But it abandoned that foundation in favor of secular platitudes.

The United States has waged entire wars in the name of exporting democracy to places like Iraq and Afghanistan — nations that never wanted it and were never going to keep it. These projects were doomed from the start. Yet at least they wrapped American power in the language of benevolence.

Today, even that fig leaf has disappeared.

The modern West treats democracy as a branding exercise, not a principle. Leaders like Joe Biden, Justin Trudeau, and Keir Starmer love lecturing the world about “liberal norms,” even as they jail political dissidents, censor speech, and turn domestic intelligence services against their own citizens. They condemn Vladimir Putin’s authoritarianism while staying silent as NATO allies crush dissent at home.

Democracy has become a marketing slogan — useful for justifying war and globalist expansion, but disposable when it interferes with ruling-class priorities.

Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio both slammed the German government for labeling Alternative for Germany as extremist. On social media, Rubio went further, blaming Germany’s open-border policies for the Alternative for Germany rise and calling the state’s surveillance powers tyranny in disguise.

Germany’s Foreign Office issued a formal reply, insisting the decision stemmed from an “independent” and “thorough” investigation.

The claim is absurd on its face.

No government can “independently” investigate and condemn its most prominent political opposition — especially not when the accusation is “extremism,” a term that now means little more than holding views the ruling class finds inconvenient.

I’ve made no secret of my dislike of modern mass democracy. But the original concept, at least, had merit. Democracy once meant rule by the demos — the people of a particular nation, rooted in shared history, culture, and civic identity. Its legitimacy came not from procedure or process but from the bonds between citizens and their country.

Today’s ruling class has twisted that definition beyond recognition. As I’ve written before, globalist elites now use the word “democracy” to describe a system governed by unaccountable institutions they alone control. Populism, they say, is dangerous. Democracy, they insist, must be preserved. But in practice, they oppose the popular will and protect only the process they’ve captured.

Elections have become sacraments — rituals that legitimize the rule of bureaucracies, not expressions of the people’s will. The process is sacred, not the outcome. That’s why Western politicians now speak of “our sacred democracy,” which must be defended not from tyranny, but from actual democratic movements.

Western leaders still try to justify their global power by invoking freedom and liberty. But their credibility has collapsed. It’s farcical to hear men like Justin Trudeau or Keir Starmer preach about “shared Western values” while jailing political opponents and silencing dissent at home.

The moral authority of liberal democracy is crumbling. And the cause isn’t Putin or China. It’s Western leaders who’ve gutted the electoral process and replaced it with rule by managerial elites.

The Trump administration should continue to expose this hypocrisy. But it also must act. That means offering political asylum to dissidents facing persecution in places like Germany, Canada, and the United Kingdom.

Americans rightly recoil at repression in Russia. They should feel the same revulsion when it comes from our “allies” in Berlin, Ottawa, or London.

Andrew Tate admits the violent truth about his treatment of women



Andrew Tate was once the most Googled man in the world, and now he’s on the ground in Florida after facing charges for human trafficking in Romania.

“Andrew Tate was looked up to by young men around the world. He was considered a role model for young men. Many young men considered him to inspire them to get their bank accounts in order, to focus on physical fitness,” Liz Wheeler of “The Liz Wheeler Show” says.

But Tate isn’t a good role model, and it’s high time young men figure it out.

“The problem with Andrew Tate is that he’s actually not a good role model for young men. He is leading young men down the path of self destruction,” Wheeler says, before revealing what Tate himself has said to prove this.

“They didn’t teach you this in self-defense, here’s a little move. When I grab you by your neck, and you start annoying me, trying to resist, and I just —” Tate begins in an older video, before simulating hitting the hypothetical woman over and over again.


“And then I grab you by your neck again. Then what the f*** are you going to do when your face is collapsed and your f***ing cheekbones broken. You ain't going to do s***,” Tate continued.

Other videos of Tate aren’t much better.

“I guarantee I change the way you look at sex forever. You’re going to be crying. ‘I won’t cry.’ I bet you cry,” he said in a video posted to social media. “You’re challenging me to a fight. You’re saying I can’t hurt you. Are you out of your f***ing mind?”

“I’ll just start beating the s*** out of you,” he added.

Tate also posted a video of himself showing the “basic moves of pimping,” which essentially means hitting and choking a woman while threatening her with a machete.

“Now, some people will say, ‘That was a long time ago, Liz. You took that out of context,’” Wheeler says. “And my answer to that would be in what context are comments like that appropriate? In what context are comments like that defensible? In what context would you want your son or your brother or your father or your husband or your boyfriend to be listening and being influenced by content like this?”

“Andrew Tate is a pimp,” she continues. “And I didn't pick that word for Andrew Tate; Andrew Tate picked that word for himself.”

'Degeneracy of the highest order’: Why Andrew Tate's arrival in the US is NOT welcomed



Andrew Tate and his brother, Tristan Tate, have arrived in the U.S. after Romanian prosecutors allowed the pair to leave the country, three years after their arrest on allegations of rape, trafficking minors, and money laundering.

The brothers flew into Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on Thursday night. Aftering arriving in the U.S., Andrew told reporters that he and his brother were simply “misunderstood” and claimed not to have done anything wrong.

“I think it’s extremely important that we stop allowing media spin, wrap up smears, lies, or carefully constructed narratives from George Soros-funded operations trying to destroy the reputations of good people who have no intention to do anything other than follow the law,” Andrew said.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) did not share the Tate brother’s sentiment, telling reporters that Florida is “not a place where [they] are welcome.”


“There’s a little bit of controversy,” Jason Whitlock of “Fearless” comments. “The Trump administration, to some degree, I think, not defended Andrew Tate, but said something, they were trying to help him out in Romania in some capacity.”

“People seem, on the conservative side, very reluctant to criticize this guy. Best of my knowledge, the stuff that I’ve seen, the guy’s some sort of pimp and bragged about it. I don’t get how there’s any defense for Andrew Tate just out of his own mouth,” he continues.

“His own actions, the stuff that’s caught on film that he’s said and done. He’s some sort of a pimp,” he says. “He’s some sort of spokesman for the manosphere, he's inspiring young men, he's a backlash to feminism, you know, I’m trying to understand it.”

“The issue is Andrew Tate represents many of the values that conservatives and Christians and people who have some sort of moral or ethical compass say that we stand against,” Delano Squires tells Whitlock.

“He’s sex-crazed, he describes himself as a pimp, he’s talked about how he uses or used, at the point he was speaking, used sex to control women, who would then work for him doing cam work. So, basically, OnlyFans before the company was around,” he continues.

“And he talked about how he suckered men out of a lot of money,” he says. “He speaks against traditional values; he’s anti-marriage. When he talks about family, he’s like ‘Look, go to Colombia, go to Thailand, go to some third-world country, second- or third-world country, find you a nice-looking woman, impregnate her, send a few shekels every once in awhile, keep her and the baby alive.’”

“So I think he has the makings of someone who is the worst type of person to follow. He’s a tragic mulatto with serious daddy and mommy issues who promotes degeneracy of the highest order,” he adds.

When Romanians went to work on Christmas Day



Most Americans get Christmas Day off, but it wasn’t like that for embattled Romanians back in 1989. Under Stalinist dictator Nicolae Ceaușescu, Romania was one of the most oppressive states in the world, practically on the level of Enver Hoxha’s Albania. Ceaușescu bulldozed churches and banned the celebration of Christmas.

In the city of Timisoara, Ceaușescu's Securitate attacked pastor Laszlo Tokes for criticizing the regime, and on December 17, 1989, the people organized an anti-government demonstration. Ceaușescu ordered his forces to fire on the crowds, killing nearly 100 protesters. Mass protests broke out across the country, and this time, the military sided with the people.

Totalitarians believe they can get away with murder, but sometimes the people prove victorious.

Ceaușescu fled in a helicopter, but the pilot forced a landing and soldiers took him into custody. Nicolae and wife Elena were swiftly tried for crimes against humanity and sentenced to death.

On Christmas Day, an elite unit led the pair toward an outdoor toilet block in a courtyard. Nicolae sang the “Internationale” while Elena shrieked filth at a soldier, who hauled off and smashed her face. The troops then stood the pair against a wall, set their Kalashnikovs on full automatic, and opened fire. Unlike the bloody scene in Timisoara, the rifle reports came as tidings of comfort and joy.

For the first time in decades, Romanians openly celebrated Christmas, and the next year, the nation held free elections. Too bad that the vile Ceaușescu was the only Stalinist dictator who got what he deserved.

Josef Stalin, murderer of more than 20 million, died of a heart attack on March 5, 1953. According to “The Black Book of Communism,” Mao Zedong’s genocidal campaigns claimed more than 60 million victims. China’s “Great Helmsman” died peacefully on September 9, 1976, at the age of 82.

Albania’s Enver Hoxha died of complications from diabetes on April 11, 1985, at the age of 76. Erich Honecker, communist dictator of the German Democratic Republic and builder of the Berlin Wall, died of cancer in Chile on May 29, 1994, at the age of 81.

Khmer Rouge dictator Pol Pot, whose campaign of genocide took down nearly 2 million innocents, about 21% of the population, died in his sleep on April 15, 1998. Sado-Stalinist Fidel Castro, darling of American leftists, passed away peacefully on November 25, 2016, at the age of 90.

Totalitarians believe they can get away with murder, but sometimes the people prove victorious. As Americans celebrate in freedom, they might recall Romania’s Kalashnikov Christmas, and in the new year take a lesson from Milan Kundera in “The Unbearable Lightness of Being.” In all nations, at all times, the struggle against tyranny is the struggle of memory against forgetting.
