The Oasis for
Rational Conservatives

Most of the entire world has recoiled in disgust at how literally satanic the Paris Olympics have been – but why should anyone be surprised?
For what characterizes the Woke Left more than anything is satanism – i.e., the worship of evil as such – exemplified by fanatical advocacy of abortion up to and including birth, and of genital mutilation of children. Add to that the goal of America’s and Western Civilization’s extinction via mass Third World illegal immigration.
Such worship became overt at the Olympics, at the very start with the Opening Ceremony explicitly ridiculing Christianity – completely gratuitously, with no connection to the purpose of the Games whatever. The purpose was made clear by the grossly obese lesbian, Barbara Butch, portraying a female Jesus flanked by various drag queens and pedos.
Add to this degraded insult the literal physical injury of men beating up women as an Olympic Sport.
But soon all of this will be swept into the dustbin of history. Here’s why…
I hope you enjoy reading this HFR as I enjoyed writing it!

Doesn't it seem odd that the kids who started the 60s anti-establishment protest riots on college campuses with the Free Speech Movement (Berkeley, 1964) are the college professors or politicians today who most vehemently suppress free speech among their students or constituents in the name of political correctness?
How can this be? How can worshipping at the shrines of Diversity, Tolerance, and Multiculturalism result in trials and expulsions for students, or jail for citizens, who express ideas with which the worshippers are not in agreement?
The answer is the intimate connection between Subjectivism and Fascism. As Mussolini made clear. In his 1921 essay Diuturna (The Lasting, that which endures), Mussolini made it clear that moral relativism was his rationale for Fascism:
“If relativism signifies contempt for fixed categories and those who claim to be the bearers of objective immortal truth, then there is nothing more relativistic than Fascist attitudes and activity. From the fact that all ideologies are of equal value, we Fascists conclude that we have the right to create our own ideology and to enforce it with all the energy of which we are capable.”Liberals follow Mussolini's conclusion to the letter. Preaching tolerance, they have no tolerance for anyone's opinions but their own. Anyone they disagree with they call ‘racist' or ‘sexist' or ‘homophobic' or some other denigration.
More and more information is coming out about the Trump assassination attempt – and notably, not from the sources it should be coming from. Things are not looking good for the USSS and FBI.
There’s also some good news concerning election security decisions, and some real hope for the US’s fiscal woes. Melei is modeling how that hope can be achieved, and then more great examples of Go Woke, Go Broke. Happy Thursday, everyone!
Nothing to see here, folks - just move along:
Down the Memory Hole: Google Hides Autocomplete Suggestions Related to Trump Assassination Attempt
The amount of gaslighting that the Leftmedia is doing to elevate Vice President Kamala Harris in her new status as the likely presidential nominee of the Democrat Party is insane.
The legacy media’s latest attempt at memory-holing is to assert that conservatives were the ones inaccurately labeling Harris the “border czar.”
It was the Leftmedia itself that first hailed her as such.
Before that, though, in March of 2021, President Joe Biden said, “I’ve asked her, the VP, today — because she’s the most qualified person to do it — to lead our efforts with Mexico and the Northern Triangle and the countries that … are going to need help in stemming the movement of so many folks, stemming the migration to our southern border.”
Kamala Harris was tapped to be in charge of overseeing the border and “stemming the migration to our southern border.”
It was a job she completely failed at (though it’s obvious that the influx of illegals was the goal of this administration).
Much to the chagrin of the Democrats and their media allies, immigration is the top issue for the majority of Americans this election.
I have attended about a half-dozen national conventions, Republican and Democratic, and watched at least a dozen more.
And I can say two things: 1) They have all generally bored me. 2) The 2024 Republican National Convention didn't.
The RNC not only held my interest, it often moved me emotionally.
But both Trump and the Republican Party made one big mistake — a mistake I noted on my radio show during the convention and have pointed out for decades.
Virtually all the convention speakers focused their attention on President Joe Biden. The audience did the same, as when it would chant, "Joe must go."
For decades, I have pleaded with Republican office seekers to focus their attacks at least as much on the Democratic Party and the Left as on their opponent.
Not doing so at the convention has come back to bite them — just three days later. Now, "Joe did go." So, all the time and effort devoted to attacking Biden was utterly wasted.
I have never understood why Republicans always concentrate their fire on their Democratic opponent while ignoring virtually any mention of the threat posed by the Democratic Party and the Left.
Cyberattacks have truly become the digital equivalent of natural disasters -- sudden, catastrophic, and terrifyingly inevitable.
The recent CrowdStrike update debacle, which triggered a global meltdown affecting multiple critical sectors, was a glaring example of this modern reality.
Imagine hospitals unable to access patient records, emergency services offline, airports grounded, and banks in utter disarray.
This isn't the plot of a dystopian novel, but the grim reality faced by the world over the weekend following the compromised CrowdStrike update.
Reports on the ground detailed a scene of unprecedented chaos that unfolded as critical sectors went dark.
Experts suggest that this catastrophe likely stemmed from skipped checks during the update process -- a simple oversight with disastrous consequences.
It's a scenario eerily reminiscent of the infamous SolarWinds hack, where the attackers exploited the software update mechanism to infiltrate numerous high-profile organizations, including U.S. federal agencies.
Dozens of Wagner mercenaries were killed and a Russian helicopter was destroyed in an ambush by al-Qaeda-allied rebels in Mali.
Nikita Fedyanin, the editor and owner of the Grey Zone Wagner Telegram channel and a leading Kremlin propagandist, was also killed in the attack in the Sahara Desert.
Jama’at Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimeen (JNIM), an al-Qaeda-linked group, claimed responsibility for the attack on the Wagner convoy near the desert town of Tinzawatene on the border with Algeria.
In one video, an Arab man, who appears to be a commander, can be seen inspecting a captured vehicle as Tuareg fighters, wearing flowing robes, turbans and sunglasses, celebrate.
July, 1972. That’s what these people were known as back in 1972 who lived in the Amazon forests south of the Napo River in Ecuador killing anyone foolish enough to enter their territory. The Quechuas living along the north bank of the Napo were terrified of them, calling them “Aucas” – naked savages. I found them, as you can see, naked but not savage.
This was a true first contact. A helicopter pilot friend, Tony Stuart, and I chanced upon them, landing in their clearing. We were literally space aliens in a space ship from outer space, for all they knew was the jungle. They had nothing from the outside world. I gave them a box of matches which was the most exciting thing they had ever seen. Despite their fearsome reputation for killing outsiders including missionaries, they smiled and laughed like anyone else.
They also understood trade and exchanging gifts. Beside the matches, we gave them some rope and a small machete (first metal they had ever seen). They gave (without our asking) Tony a hand stone axe, and me a blowgun. After a few hours it was time to go. Our goodbyes to each other were with huge smiles. I will never ever forget them.

The southernmost portion of the Gobi Desert is called the Alashan in Inner Mongolia. Traversed by Marco Polo in 1273 on his way to meet the Mongol Emperor Kublai Khan, he said it contained a “mystery.”
For in the hidden center of the Alashan is an area known as Badain Jaran, “Mystery Lakes” in Mongolian. There are some 140 of these small lakes surrounded by enormous sand dunes. The photo you see is of one of these lakes, taken in late afternoon on a windless day, with the giant dunes above reflected on the water.
We were there in October 2017. Traversing the dunes to explore these lakes is a mesmerizing experience. (Glimpses of Our Breathtaking World #32 Photo ©Jack Wheeler)
Bangaram Atoll, Laccadive Islands, India. The “Lacquered” islands or Laccadives are legendary for the glossiness of the Indian Ocean surrounding them. There are three dozen of these coral atolls over 150 miles off the coast of southwest India – but moorkh Indian bureaucrats insist on calling them “Lakshadweep,” Sanskrit for “100,000. Go figure.
Paintings of the French Impressionists of the 19th century merged dreams and reality. Here that is for real. The beauty in the Laccadives can be so astonishing that it seems surreal – like when the ocean and sky merge into one in a palette of pastels straight from the brush of Monet. Come to Bangaram and you’ll find yourself living inside a painting. (Glimpses of Our Breathtaking World #172 photo ©Jack Wheeler)
The Hani people in the mountains of Yunnan have been carving out rice terraces on dozens of steep mountainsides for over a dozen centuries. After the late fall harvest, in winter they flood the terraces in preparation for spring planting. At sunrise and sunset, the light reflecting off them creates a scene of phantasmagorical surrealism. Unknowingly, the Hani have created one of humanity’s most magnificent works of natural art the world has ever seen. What you see here is only one of hundreds of terraced areas. It is a sight beyond belief. Glimpses of Our Breathtaking World #156 Photo ©Jack Wheeler)
There are places in our world so staggeringly beautiful to have to see them to believe they exist. Yet those people walking along the foot bridge can’t see what you’re looking at. That has to be in the air, hovering from high above in a helicopter. We live in a world of such beauty it really does take your breath away. And best of all, the beauty of the Grand Prismatic Spring of Yellowstone is right here in America.
On Monday (6/07), we got a Glimpse of Horseshoe Bend in northern Arizona and reflected on how much more there was to experience in just that region of the American West. And that’s just one region, one part of one of the most spectacular places in all Creation.
Here we are at Yellowstone in Wyoming, a wonderland by itself. Just to the south are the Grand Tetons. To the west is the Sawtooth Range and the Middle Fork of the Salmon River – one of the best whitewater runs on the planet. It goes endlessly on and on. America the Beautiful is not just a song – it’s glorious reality. (Glimpses of Our Breathtaking World 135, photo ©Jack Wheeler
When Israel’s Bibi Netanyahu addressed a Joint Session of Congress on Wednesday (7/24), he received a wildly enthusiastic reception by almost all Members, Democrat and Republican, who got a lot of exercise repeatedly rising to their feet giving him standing ovations. A collection of excerpts (see video):
While his funniest line was comparing Palestinian protestors carrying “Gays for Gaza” signs to those proclaiming “Chickens for KFC,” his most solemnly truthful assertion was, “They stand with evil.”
With that, it was clear he wasn’t just condemning the “useful idiots” rioting and burning American flags right outside the Capitol Building where he was speaking, but those inside in attendance like Dem Rashida Tlaib holding a “War Criminal” sign, or who were boycotting his speech like Ilhan Omar… and the President of the Senate.
Here we go – this is both an important and fun HFR… and you won’t believe what Trump’s new position is on Ukraine.
