Don Surber comments as only he can on this week’s media offerings.
This post about America’s upcoming 250th anniversary of our nationhood is not about the past—as glorious as that may be—but rather this is about America’s future. The future is so bright, gotta wear shades.
Mollie Hemingway is promoting her new book, Alito: The Justice Who Reshaped the Supreme Court and Restored the Constitution.
But the biggest revelation in the book is how Justice Elena Kagan bullies her staff. Hemingway discovered Kagan and to a lesser extent, Justice Sonia Sotomayor, have a reputation for being mean girl bosses.
A month ago, it was obvious that our frenemies in NATO was trying to play President Trump for a fool by blocking USA bases in their countries from carrying out Operation Epic Fury, which would keep the Islamic regime in Iran from building nuclear weaponry.
Impeachment failed. Raiding Mar-a-Lago failed. Lawfare failed. Assassination failed. Now President Trump is winning on foreign policy and Barack Obama is furious. He is doing all he can to save Iran as his hopes of a Marxist-Muslim coalition conquering the world fade with every missile that lands on the IRGC.
New York state’s tax policy is exiling millionaires to Florida. California’s craziness is banishing billionaires.
But Illinois has them beat with its climate change laws that are forcing two-thirds of an electric plant in Elwood to take the advice of Suzy Bogguss and drive South with the one they love.
Don Surber takes us on a tour of this week’s most notable news items as only he can. ITEM 1: Old School Eddie asked, “If Wile E. Coyote had enough money to buy all that ACME stuff, why didn’t he just buy dinner?” Kenneth “Mostly Skeptical” Davis replied, “He wanted Fast Food—bada-bing, bada-bum.”
Mississippi Mom to her picky eater: Eat your hush puppies. People in Britain are starving. The Internet was abuzz with a story that showed every state in the union has a higher per capita income than Britain.
Wednesday morning began with the capitulation of Chairman Xi.
Trump announced on Truth Social, “China is very happy that I am permanently opening the Strait of Hormuz. I am doing it for them, also—and the World. This situation will never happen again. They have agreed not to send weapons to Iran.
JD Vance was stunned that the Iranian delegation in Pakistan could not do anything without traveling back to the Supreme Leader for approval.
I am not in the mood to mince words this morning.
The New York Times not only is a communist proselytizer and apologist, but it now openly supports and defends Iran and its government-funded terrorist groups. The Marxist-Muslim partnership now openly parades itself as the latest rendition of the inevitable world conquest.
A weekend link by Instapundit revived an NPR story from two years ago, “Same-Sex Couples Face Higher Climate Change Risks, New UCLA Study Shows.”
Wow. Those poor homosexuals are in peril simply because they married one another rather than marry someone of the opposite sex.
The media continues to provide unintended commentary on the status of Western civilization. In the course of its so-called reporting of the news, we find plenty to laugh about or groan over. Don Surber guides us through this week’s choicest examples.
Me to Grok: Draw a cartoon of Trump seated on Peacock Throne. Make him smile as wide as Iran.
Of course President Donald John Trump is smiling. America won. He unleashed our military to topple the Death-to-America regime that has ruled Iran like a 7th century theocracy and terrorized the world for 47 years.
The latest Democrat talking point is that Trump is losing support from the media influencers who got him elected president. The trouble is, they didn’t get him elected because he won the presidency without most of them in 2016.
It was Taco Tuesday at our house last night. OK, we had Mexican pizzas from Taco Bell, but that is close enough for two kids in Appalachia.
It also was Trump Trolls the World Tuesday.
Just three years ago, Rubio and Tim Kaine succeeded in getting Congress to prohibit the president from unilaterally suspending, terminating, denouncing, or withdrawing the U.S. from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization without the approval of two-thirds of the Senate.
Trump has a hard enough time getting one-third of the Senate to agree with him, let alone two.
But he has a phone and a pen. And he has a growing plurality of Americans who believe NATO’s time ended when the Soviet Union died.
There are two types of people in the world this morning—those who are elated that the American military rescued the pilot and the weapons system officer of a downed F-15E deep in Iran, and then there are those who are unhappy. Whatever you may call the second group critics or communists, liars or losers, or dead-enders or Democrats, their rooting for Iran to prevail in this conflict is tedious and TDS.
The media continues reporting on the obvious, the bizarre and the ironic, often erroneously. American Free News Network contributor Don Surber adds his laugh-out-loud, make-you-think perspective to each instance of noteworthy reporting.
On Wednesday, the United States launched the first manned mission to the moon in nearly 54 years. Artemis II will not land on the moon but soon, very soon, the late Eugene Cernan no longer will be the last man on the moon.
