Citizen Writers Fighting Censorship by Helping Americans Understand Issues Affecting the Republic.
This is the eighth post in the ongoing weekly feature that highlights news and commentary on important geopolitical, cultural, and economic issues that the Democrat-media complex buries because they expose the hypocrisies associated with the continuing Marxist-Democrat narrative. Everything is properly sourced and linked for follow-up reading, whether from legacy media, independent sources, or social media.
During my career with the Chicago Tribune, I covered my share of criminal and civil trials. One thing I learned early on was to watch the jury for telltale reactions that might indicate how jurors were processing the evidence.
Should we ban Volkswagens because Adolf Hitler helped create the company? Millions of people, including millions of Americans have bought the “people’s car,” because it has been practical for them. A lot of students had them when I was in college, though I was not one of them, back in the days of quill pens and inkwells, because they were inexpensive and cheap to operate.
OMB Director Russell Vought discusses the Trump administration’s cancellation of $810 million in congressionally approved spending for programs serving illegal immigrants, diversity initiatives and other efforts on ‘The Will Cain Show.’
Friday morning. First cup of coffee. The good mug. “She calls me Daddy.” Kids not up yet, house quiet, the one peaceful ten minutes a father of four gets all day.
And then I read it.
Ro Khanna, congressman from Silicon Valley, announced that it is time for Democrats to offer “a bold vision for free childcare.” His bill would make childcare free, pay childcare workers a “living wage,” put friends, family, and neighbors who watch your kids on the government payroll, and mail stay-at-home parents a $1,000 stipend.
But the Wall Street Journal’s spin is Trump is twisting arms to make Iran a pariah. After 47 years of Iran declaring “death to America,” the Journal should not act surprised, but it does. The media wants Trump to fail and if misrepresenting America’s accomplishments in this war hurts Trump, the media will continue such spin.
In the 1930s, thousands of Finnish-Americans left places like Michigan and Minnesota for Soviet Karelia, promised jobs, security, and the chance to build a Finnish workers’ paradise. Then paradise met Stalin. Some escaped, some disappeared into the Gulag, and some ended up in mass graves. Today, Karelia remains on the map, but much of its Finnish character is gone. It’s a fascinating and tragic lesson about political promises, cultural identity, and why—when someone promises you paradise—you should probably check the return policy.
Government Accountability Institute President Peter Schweizer discusses U.S. relations with China and Iran on ‘Jesse Watters Primetime.’
There is something to thinking out loud with ideas. But propagating crazed concepts like eliminating pieces of our government is annoying.
The things I could write about pound cake. I could go on and on and bore you to death, so I think I will.
After my father died, I remember visiting a Methodist church with my boyhood friend, and he was introducing me to people. He was raised Methodist, I was not. My people were Baptist.
AOC warned of “racial terror” & “widespread modern-day lynchings” in USA as she joined dozens of fearmongering Dems demanding that DOJ & FBI investigate hanging deaths of blacks. Ignoring the facts behind each death, AOC alleges systemic racial bias at all these many agencies.
Rep. Greg Steube, R-Fla., discusses President Donald Trump’s historic Iowa steel plant announcement and the effects seen from the ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ on ‘The Evening Edit.’
We spent decades studying the Human Domain, mastering information warfare, funding democracy programs, training activists, monitoring elections, and learning that legitimacy itself can become a battlefield. The uncomfortable question is not whether influence operations exist—they do—but what happens when the tools used overseas become tools that every major power can study, copy, and deploy. From Serbia to Ukraine, from covert action to open democracy assistance, the world learned a lesson: political legitimacy is strategic terrain. Now, in an age where every citizen carries a global information weapon in their pocket, the chickens may have come home to roost. The greatest threat to a republic may not be an army at the gates, but a population that no longer agrees on what is real.
The anti-Second Amendment activists don’t factor in defensive firearm use wherein guns are merely displayed, but not fired, to deter threats. This is for good reason: Such use constitutes at least 75-80 percent of defensive gun uses.
U.S. Ambassador to China David Perdue assesses the outcome of President Donald Trump’s summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping on ‘Fox News Sunday.’
I FAILED MY OWN CLAIM. MORE THAN ONCE.
Let me start with a confession, because somebody needs to say it out loud.
I am a medically retired Army combat medic. Twenty-three years. Iraq. I spent my career documenting injuries on OTHER soldiers — SF 600s, sick call notes, MEDEVAC paperwork. If anyone on this planet should have walked into the VA claims process and crushed it on the first try, it was me.
I did not.
Word got around that senior center was being taken over by unhinged Liberal white women, so individuals and organizations who had signed rental agreements & put down deposits, started canceling & demanding refunds. Rentals WERE a large part of the center’s revenue.
History remembers Vlad the Impaler as a blood-soaked medieval psychopath. But what happens if we assume Vlad was a rational actor? Suddenly the stakes, the terror, and the infamous Forest of the Impaled start looking less like random savagery and more like calculated deterrence. Vlad couldn’t outspend or outfight the Ottoman Empire, so he weaponized the one battlefield where a small power could compete with a giant: the human mind. Five hundred years before “fifth-generation warfare” became fashionable, Dracula was already playing game theory—with sharpened stakes.
‘The Big Weekend Show’ co-host Joey Jones responds to progressive streamer Hasan Piker’s mocking of two Navy SEALs killed in the Red Sea.
Mosher wrote, “China’s initiative to replace the dollar as the world’s reserve currency is failing. Xi himself was basically sidelined at this month’s BRICS summit in India; he skipped the obligatory banquet and left a day early. Media apologists claimed he was tired, but it’s more likely that he was just tired of being ignored.
“Now, just two weeks later, the American president’s impressive show of hospitality—giving him face, as it’s known in Chinese culture—not only massages Xi’s ego, it also provides useful propaganda fodder for his captive audience back in China.
“And it costs America nothing.
