Trump’s electoral victory should not be seen as a mission accomplished. His mission is just beginning.
“Trump has to be able to put people like those in Operation Crossfire in jail,” suggests Salim Mansur. “Unless he can do that, there will be no accounting and no future American will be safe.”
Salim describes MAGA (Make America Great Again) as a movement dedicated to restoring America to its constitutional roots. It’s a simple objective, but comes with a tremendously complex array of issues that must be addressed individually.
Those issues include America’s immigration crisis, the state of the economy, free trade and tariffs, health care, the de-weaponization of the Justice Department, and of course, the broader challenge of ‘draining the swamp,’ to name but a few.
In our review of each of these issues, we must be able to both appreciate the positive developments that have arisen as a consequence of Trump’s election, and be aware of the very real dangers associated with Trump’s coming agenda. Continue reading »
President Donald Trump has made some ambitious promises of reform leading up to his decisive victory on November 5th. Whether or not he is capable of delivering on those promises depends on several factors, including how palatable they may be to the House and Senate, how boldly Trump wields the power he holds as Chief Executive, and the character of those he appoints to his cabinet and inner circle as advisors.
To Make America Great Again, Trump’s greatest ally, however, won’t be in his cabinet or in Congress; it will be the United States Constitution and the principles upon which that great republic was founded.
Here to discuss just how successful Trump’s second term might be is Professor Salim Mansur of Western University in conversation with Just Right Media’s Robert Vaughan.

Those who believe that Left and Right no longer matter in politics are victims of what Dinesh D’Souza calls the Big Lie. The consequence of a Leftist propaganda campaign following World War II, what has most popularly been recognized as the ‘political spectrum’ is in fact a political fiction that has succeeded in crippling the Right – and its ability to counter the Left.
This fictional ‘political spectrum’ places communism on the Left and fascism on the Right. Nowhere on this ‘spectrum’ is there any point or position for the political conditions of freedom and capitalism.
Since the Right represents freedom, in contrast to the Left representing tyranny, getting the world to associate the Right with fascism instead of freedom was a propaganda victory that paved the way for the Left’s ascendancy. It not only robbed the Right of its political identity, it destroyed the natural polarity of politics by placing a single polarity of tyranny at each end of a so-called ‘spectrum.’
Today, many on the Right, when labeled ‘far right’ ‘extreme right’ or the like, cower in fear and shame rather than accept being so labeled as something to be proud of. Continue reading »
Whether acknowledged or not, every individual has a philosophy, leaving open only the question of how well that philosophy is understood.
At a time when so many people are unable to determine even their own identity (whether based on gender, sexual, political, racial, social, religious grounds, etc.) let alone the nature of the world around them, the dystopian consequences of popular philosophy’s shortcomings have become embarrassingly evident. However, the causes are not so evident because they relate to a failure to properly identify the very nature of things that exist – entities.
The solution to this dilemma, explains our guest Paul McKeever, is to consider the ‘identity’ of any ‘entity’ from a ‘first person’ perspective, not from a ‘third-person’ perspective based on some relationship with the entity in question. If all this seems rather abstract, it is, but the ‘first person’ perspective resolves a fundamental error made by philosophers throughout the ages.
In his monumental work, “Judge: Philosophy and Freedom in the First Person,” Paul meticulously examines thirteen classic philosophical problems, offering solutions with such lucidity that there remains no justification for their continued discussion as credible issues. Written over a period of ten years, it is the product of a philosophical examination never before undertaken.
‘Judge’ presents both a challenge and a clarity to many long-held philosophical concepts including, among others, free will, induction, causation, perspective, relation, entity, identity, change, autonomy, and freedom itself.
In the field of philosophy there are four essential categories affecting how and what choices people make. Metaphysics and epistemology describe ‘what is.’ Morality and politics describe ‘what ought’ to be. But if one’s moral and political actions are based on a false conception of ‘what is,’ then a dystopian unreality becomes a natural consequence of the error. Hence, the importance of being able to correctly identify the reality within which one acts.
In an age of ‘identity politics,’ it’s surprising how little the concept of ‘identity’ is actually understood. For that shortcoming, we can blame the philosophers throughout the ages who never got it Just Right.

For many, philosophy has devolved into an exercise where errors in reasoning, logic, and definitions are layered upon one another, resulting in the field becoming a subject of mockery among the general populace. Imagine if foundational sciences like physics, chemistry, or mathematics had clung to their initial mistakes; we might never have seen the advent of computers or advancements in medicine, and basic arithmetic could still be in dispute.
To rejuvenate the importance of philosophy, we need to pinpoint and resolve its historical puzzles and paradoxes, effectively consigning them to obsolescence.
In his work, “Judge: Philosophy and Freedom in the First Person,” Paul McKeever meticulously examines twelve classic philosophical problems, offering solutions with such lucidity that there remains no justification for their continued discussion as credible issues.
“Judge” distinguishes itself as a work of deep insight, crucial not just for academic scholars but for anyone intrigued by the exploration of human nature, our connection to reality, and our interactions with others. In a very novel way, it provides one with an understanding of reality, perception, identity, logical reasoning, ethical principles, and the fundamental aspects of individual freedom.
However, there’s no need to take our word for this assessment. In keeping with the theme of McKeever’s work, you be the judge.

Unlike those suffering with Trump ‘Derangement’ Syndrome, those subject to the Trump ‘Rearrangement’ Syndrome will actually have something real to contend with. Donald Trump’s plans heading into his next term as president include a litany of changes that will rearrange America’s political scene in a way never before attempted.
With Trump’s aggressive plan to dismantle the deep state and to reclaim freedom of speech as the cornerstone of a free society, a new syndrome is arising, one that specifically afflicts those in the deep state: the Trump Rearrangement Syndrome.
Symptoms include an open and public refusal to acknowledge Trump’s presidency, attempts to jail Trump, attempts to assassinate Trump, propaganda campaigns directed against Trump, and infecting the public with lies that lead to Trump Derangement Syndrome.
One of the strangest things about the 2024 election was how the Democrats ran a campaign as if Trump was the incumbent. This is telling. Not only did this strategy suggest that they knew the last election was stolen, but they were also psychologically acknowledging that Trump remains the people’s choice. Continue reading »
Comments Off on 885 – State of confusion—about the state
Nov062024
Now that Trump has achieved his well-earned electoral victory, expectations will be high for the Trump team to deliver on its agenda. If past experience is any guide, the greatest danger now facing the Right is for a sense of complacency to emerge within its ranks, following a victory presumed to be an end goal.
Too often, many on the Right disengage from the political process after achieving a given political objective. Meanwhile, the Left never ceases to aggressively engage in the political process irrespective of its victories or losses.
It is not for nothing it is said that eternal vigilance is the price of freedom. It is a lack of that vigilance (and understanding) required to protect freedom that has allowed the process of state growth to continue unabated.
Thus the years ahead demand a clear understanding of the nature of what we have all been through, in terms of our governments running amok, constantly creating crisis’, and pushing us to the brink of war. To reverse that trend and to prevent it from repeating, we must correctly identify the cause and process that leads to tyranny.
Towards that end our attention was recently drawn to Murray Rothbard’s Anatomy of the State (1974), in which the classic libertarian defined what the state is and is not, along with the step-by-step process that tyrannical governments universally follow to achieve their sinister ends. It is a process chillingly descriptive of today’s political zeitgeist. Continue reading »
