Citizen Writers Fighting Censorship by Helping Americans Understand Issues Affecting the Republic.

There were so many interesting headlines in today’s news that it has been difficult for me to choose just one on which to write. But, as always, there is the newspaper that I frequently refer to as The Philadelphia Enquirer, which is not actually spelled that way. RedState writer Mike Miller called it the Enquirer, …
We have previously noted how the left attempt to use control of language to control the argument. The Associated Press Stylebook, which is used by many, though certainly not all, credentialed media sources, specifies language which reinforces the notion that a person can define his ‘gender’ as something different from his biological sex, and that such choices …
One of President Trump’s main campaign promises was to close the border to illegal immigration. It’s easier to intercept and interrupt illegal border crossing than it is to round up illegal immigrants already in the United States, and that policy is absolutely working. Not only are the Border Patrol undertaking stronger efforts to stop the …
I have referred to America’s third-oldest continuously-published daily newspaper as The Philadelphia Enquirer, as RedState writer Mike Miller mistakenly referred to it, so I didn’t originate it, but, reminiscent of the National Enquirer as it is, I sometimes think of it as very apt. The newspaper, the past winner of twenty Pulitzer Prizes, has gone …
It was back in 2023 that one of my fellow parishioners at St Elizabeth of Hungary Catholic Church told us that the Estill County Community Food Bank was losing the ‘extra’ money coming from the federal government in COVID-19 ’emergency’ money was ending. The parish council then decided that we would take up a quarterly …
The murder of Laken Riley by José Antonio Ibarra, an illegal immigrant released into the US by Customs and Border Patrol during the Biden Administration because the surge in apprehended border crossers had worsened to a point where they did not have enough space at a detention facility to hold him, was a rare, rare …
Our good friends on the left would have people believe that the poor, oppressed ‘undocumented’ residents in our country are all just sweetness-and-light, good, people working hard to make a living. Well, when the liberally-oriented Lexington Herald-leader starts pointing out that those apprehended in the Bluegrass State might not be among our better angels, perhaps …
If there’s one thing of which no one can accuse Philadelphia Inquirer reporter Ellie Rushing it’s laziness. Her author profile states that her beat is “cover(ing) criminal justice and law enforcement in Philadelphia, including how crime and the court systems impact communities,” and there’s certainly plenty of that in foul, fetid, fuming, foggy, filthy Philadelphia. …
Elwood P Dowd is one of the liberal commenters on my good friend William Teach’s The Pirate’s Cove. The distinguished Mr Dowd is a Democrat and true hater of President Trump, and every so often, he gets me rolling in my response. He wrote: If Trump abandons Ukraine to Putin, the Baltics are likely to …
Some of my good friends on the right have been chortling with glee because Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) has refused to try to stop the continuing resolution passed by the Republican-controlled House of Representatives to keep the government from shutting down as the Ides of March come upon us. But Mr Schumer has …
The left are totally aghast that President Trump’s plans to shut down the federal Department of Education are beginning to be put into action. “Students will suffer harm,” CNN told us, after department’s civil rights office was ‘gutted.’ Education professionals in Charlotte are “sounding the alarm,” “Ten percent of the district’s funding comes from the …
We have previously reported on how owner Jeff Bezos’ decision that The Washington Post not make any endorsement for President in 2024 cost the newspaper hundreds of thousand of subscriptions. But now columnist Joe Concha of the New York Post says that Mr Bezos is doing what is necessary to save one of our nation’s …
Under our 47th President, the sensible people in charge are looking at all of the spending in which the federal government engages. With the FY2024 federal budget deficit at $1.83 trillion — that’s trillion, a thousand billion, or a million million dollars — and FY2025 possibly going to be more, the Trump Administration is taking …
Radnor is a suburb of foul, fetid, fuming, foggy, filthy Philadelphia, straddling Delaware and Montgomery Counties, about 13 miles west of the city and part of the “Main Line” suburbs. Both were carried by then Vice President Kamala Harris Emhoff, by slightly over 60% of the vote, but slightly lower margins than the Democrats won …
The Washington Post published an article on neighborhood gentrification on Sunday, and a lot of readers, to judge by the comments, saw it as completely racist. Perhaps, just perhaps, not everything is about race. The house color that tells you when a neighborhood is gentrifying A Washington Post color analysis of D.C. found shades of …
I wonder if it will be approved. At 10:56 AM EST on Friday I submitted a comment on The New York Times main editorial, “The MAGA WAR on Speech.” The Editorial Board is aghast that the Trump Administration has done radical things such as “The National Park Service (having) erased the letters T and Q: …
With the news that MSNBC has cancelled Joy Reid’s prime time show, my Twitter feed filled up with the laments of the left over that, and the inevitable complaints that she was fired because of raaaaacism the network hates black women. Former Representative Jamaal Brown (D-NY) tweeted: Joy Reid educated a nation every single night. …
Donald Trump campaigned on ending the war in Ukraine and many of his supporters, and voters — and yes, I voted for Mr Trump — did so based on that issue. My older daughter is in the United States Army Reserve, and the last thing I want is to see her called up to join the fight in Ukraine.
The Islamists know that hostages have value. From President Reagan trading arms for hostages held by Hezbollah in Lebanon, to the exchange of 1,027 ‘Palestinian’ terrorists — including Yahya Sinwar — for one captured Israeli soldier, Gilad Shalit in October of 2011, the Islamic militants have realized that a few civilized Westerners have an outsized …
This might be more in William Teach’s wheelhouse than mine, but when this article came up in my feeds, I couldn’t resist. From London’s The Telegraph: Gen Z’s hypocrisy on climate change has made Greta Thunberg look a fool If her generation are so worried about the ‘climate emergency’, explain the findings of this new …
