The Death Spiral of the Mainstream News
We are far from the day when the most trusted man in media, Walter Cronkite told us, “That’s the way it is,” and we believed him.

I’m In My Annual Tax Filing Funk
Spring has sprung, the showers have begun, and my attitude is glum. It’s tax time. I’ve procrastinated for over three months, but April 15 is approaching, and I’m in a foul mood.
Democrat Strategy: Outlast the Statute of Limitations
There’s one thing the Democrat party can’t allow. It’s their kryptonite – transparency. The moment 50 percent of the voters learn the Dems are a crime family rather than a political party, their electoral prospects will dim substantially.
Does Cognitive Dissonance Explain the Left’s Behavior?
Dr. Festinger claimed that the mental discomfort of cognitive dissonance could cause any number of destructive behaviors in its sufferers. I’m wondering if it’s why members of the radical left spend their lives consumed with irrational anger. Anger could be a subset of “mental discomfort” couldn’t it?
We Forgot About the Domestic Enemies
America is pretty good at protecting itself from foreign threats, but we’ve been guilty of ignoring the enemies within our borders. Now we’re at risk of losing America as it was founded, because of that oversight.
I’m Confused, Are Leftists Against Slavery or Not?
Thanks to our schools skipping world history to ensure the kiddies have enough bandwidth to memorize the new pronoun dictionary, it seems like we’re going to give communism another test drive.
California Demonstrates Direct Democracy
On its current path, California will be left with people who have nothing, trying to live on the backs of others who also have nothing.
While Pundits Pontificate, The Donald Acts
While the pundits pontificate, the Donald acts – because he understands that survival is more important than approval ratings. While they debate about polling and its significance to the upcoming election, our President is on a different mission – fulfilling his oath.
Will We Rise to the Franklin Challenge?
The debate about calling a convention of states is raging across the country. Whether we meet Ben Franklin’s challenge in the 21st century is yet to be determined. So far only 19 states have accepted the “if you can keep it” challenge, and passed resolutions calling for a convention.
The Propaganda Ministry Has Entered the Absurdity Loop
The propaganda has to get worse (i.e. more brazen) for the propagandists to finish spiraling into oblivion. The industry must lie harder, before it dies – and according to polling, it is dying.
Will the AI Bots Save or Sacrifice Us?
AI bots are capable of theorizing millions of scenarios with billions of variables, to calculate probabilistic outcomes. But they can’t calculate the incalculable – the value of human life.
Faith Gave Us Civil Harmony. Will Secularism Destroy It?
After 80 years of testing self-governance with God at arm’s length, it should be obvious that we can have social order with faith, or secularism with chaos, but we cannot have peaceful coexistence without accepting our place in the universe – subservient to a higher being.
Separation of Powers Is Not Immunity from Accountability
Hannah Dugan and a rogue’s gallery of activist district judges don’t seem to understand that “we the people” spoke on November of 2024. We want the immigration crisis created by President Asterisk, fixed. With dozens of Democrat appointed judges trying to pretend that our electoral decisions don’t count, it is past time for them to experience accountability.
Ordinary Men Created America and Ordinary Men Will Preserve It
When Benjamin Franklin was asked what type of government had been created during that hot Philadelphia summer he replied, “A republic, if you can keep it.” Franklin wasn’t predicting the demise of our republic, he was observing that the baton was being passed to the self-governed. Our founders created the greatest republic the world has ever known, and then it became our duty to preserve it.
FBI Credibility Is Put to the Test in Pima County
Last Thursday Reuters reported that Pima County Sheriff Chis Nanos was denying the FBI access to key DNA evidence in the Nancy Guthrie kidnapping case. Specifically, he chose to use a private lab, rather than the FBI forensics lab at Quantico, to analyze the glove investigators recovered. What if Sheriff Nanos isn’t stupidly impeding the investigation, but thoughtfully protecting it?
Our Clinton Nightmare Comes to a Franken End
What does one do with useful grifters who’ve lost their utility? The Democrats frankenize them. It’s like ostracizing without the pomp and ceremony.
State Rights, What State Rights?
My state Senator runs a column in our local paper every month, updating her constituents on Idaho government business. In her most recent article, she explained that the big topic in this year’s legislative session is: Who runs Idaho, Idahoans, or Washington D.C.? I suspect it’s a question every state is wrestling with now.
Why We Can’t Have Orderly Immigration Enforcement
CBS news just released a poll, in which 61 percent of respondents say ICE is being “too tough” with its enforcement tactics. Clearly there is a bi-partisan desire for a kinder and gentler approach to clearing illegal aliens out of our country. Duh!
Snark Alert: Is California on To Something?
Just as California looked like it was going to collapse under the fiscal strain of Gavin Newsom’s hair care budget, they discovered an economic “magic bullet” – the thing that will balance the state’s books from now to eternity. They’ll make the rich pay their fair share, all 214 of them.
Will New Election Evidence Damage the Supreme Court?
When the Supreme Court took a “mental health day” in lieu of doing its duty 5 years ago, I predicted that “if and when” the truth about the 2020 election was discovered, it would expose the court as derelict and severely damage its standing with those it serves.
