At what point do the media give up on a criminal-loving and police-hating prosecutor?

We have frequently noted The Philadelphia Inquirer’s seemingly unqualified support for the city’s George Soros-sponsored — $1.7 million in 2017 and $1.2 million in 2021 — criminal-loving, police-hating District Attorney, Larry Krasner, but even the Inky has been unable to avoid covering the news about Mr Krasner’s problems. The newspaper said of Mr Krasner, in …

Obfuscating Money in Politics: McCain-Feingold, USAID, and the NGO Network

The debate over money in politics is defined by a core tension between the ideals of transparency, privacy, and mandated disclosure. Proponents of robust transparency and disclosure requirements (especially America Firsters) argue that voters have a fundamental right to know who is funding candidates, parties, and issue advocacy, as undisclosed “dark money” from wealthy individuals, corporations, unions, or foreign-linked entities can distort democratic outcomes, enable corruption or undue influence, and facilitate implementation of leftwing policies funded by US taxpayers without authorization or scrutiny. They push for lower reporting thresholds, real-time disclosures, and the closing of loopholes like super PACs and 501(c) organizations to let sunlight act as a disinfectant.

Does the Filibuster Still Serve a Purpose?

The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act (SAVE) has ripped the scab off of the festering wound we call the Senate filibuster. Requiring proof of citizenship to vote, is favored by over 80 percent of the electorate – at least of those voters who can legally vote. Its passage should be a no-brainer. But apparently the Senate lacks the brains for a no-brainer.

The CMP: America’s Quiet National-Security Insurance Policy

The Civilian Marksmanship Program is more than a shooting organization. It is a self-funded national-security asset that preserves firearms safety, competitive marksmanship, and a reserve of civilian expertise. During the Iraq War, CMP volunteers even traveled to military installations such as Fort Campbell to help the U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit train deploying soldiers as Squad Designated Marksmen. What looks like recreation on Saturday can become battlefield capability when the nation needs it.

DSA is not in America’s DNA: Democrats are in trouble and they don’t know how to get out

Democrats have a poison called DSA—Democrat Socialists of America—a communist organization that made Mamdani mayor of New York, New York. If communism can make it there, it will make it anywhere, right?

But Democrat officials know voters are rejecting it—for now.

Amazing Grace

Morning. I am driving two-lane highways in the backcountry of Missouri. I have been sharing the highway with mostly rusty pickups and Massey Ferguson farm implements. Also deer.

Missouri. The place where the western prairie meets the southern cotton patches. It’s a foreign land to me.

You’d never know I was born in Missouri. You’d never guess my father died in Missouri.

Democrats playing stupid games

Adam Kinzinger’s Twitter biography says he is “Dad. Husband. Former GOP congressman. Voted to impeach Trump. Now fighting for our democracy. Lt. Col. @AirNatlGuard (ret). Founder @thecountryfirst.” Mr Kinzinger is very adamant about enforcing our laws: Kinzinger was one of the 10 Republicans who voted to impeach Trump for incitement of insurrection in his second …

This is Part 2 of a 2-part analysis examining the phenomenon of Democratic Socialism

This is the second part of a two-part analysis that examines a specific historical claim: that the decades-long push of Democratic Socialists of America inside the Democrat Party follows the same “boring from within” logic the Bolsheviks used against the Socialist Revolutionaries and Mensheviks in 1917 — a small, disciplined vanguard using a broader coalition’s legitimacy and infrastructure to gain position, growing more candid about maximalist goals as it consolidates power, with no intention of remaining merely one faction among many.

They should have just kept Starmer

My condolences to Andy Burnham upon his selection as the 59th prime minister of the United Kingdom. The political insiders picked the right guy because he has experience in handling tragedies.

Days after Burnham was sworn in as mayor of Manchester in 2017, a Muslim suicide bomber ignited a nail bomb that killed him and 21 others and injured more than 1,000 fans at an Ariana Grande concert. Most of the victims were young girls. Muslim terrorists have real problems with females.

Governments’ (Flock) Spy Systems: Yet Another AI-Data Center-Privacy Nightmare

Much has rightly been made of the monstrous amounts of resources – water, electricity, land – data centers use.

Data centers that are now being built, we are told, to feed the rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI).

Data centers are being called “data centers?” Because the far more truthful “surveillance centers” and “human replacement centers” would be an even tougher sell.
