Citizen Writers Fighting Censorship by Helping Americans Understand Issues Affecting the Republic.
John Green 
A lot has been written about various forms of government (democracy, republic, monarchy, communism, etc.) and how they enable or hinder freedom. But not enough has been said about an essential element of freedom and prosperity – morality
I’ve been reminded of the game “Where’s Waldo” while watching the Trump show in Washington. Every photo has thousands of people. But among all those people, where’s Jimbo – Comey that is.
We’ve been trying to repair racial disparities in America since at least the mid-20th century. Now that we’re starting to hear the death rattle of DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion): did any of the reparations work?
Being the first year of a new administration, there was no State of the Union Address this year. Instead, President Trump gave us a Presidential Address to the Nation. It should have been called an FAFO Address to the Nation.
We’ve had a great many recent Presidents who haven’t played for the win, and a couple who have. The winners want to accomplish something big. The “not winners” want to avoid failure.
Star Idaho is proof that Ayn Rand was right about what will happen when the government becomes too oppressive.
I’ve never been a fan of the “Donald Trump plays 3D chess while the Dems play checkers” mantra. The President is clearly a smart guy, but the Dems must have some smart people too (in an evil “Goldfinger” kind of way). However I must admit, President Trump’s blitz attack on the swamp has me questioning my assumption about the intelligence of the left.
Well, we did it. Like rebellious teenagers trying to put one over on the principal, we ignored the wisdom of our betters (Democrats) and elected “literally Hitler.” Now our tyrant has been in office for under a month, and we’re learning the consequences of our foolishness. However, there are a few minor differences between our Scottish Hitler and his Aryan predecessor with the silly Charlie Chaplin mustache, that deserve mentioning.
To be free of excessive government control (oppression) requires accepting responsibility for our lives and the consequences of our actions. When people accept responsibility, and act smartly, very little government control is needed to maintain social order.
When the 51 “intelligence experts” signed their letter about the Hunter Biden laptop, they didn’t just expose their own lack of credibility. They cast suspicion on the entire intelligence community.
Ralph Waldo Emerson warned: “When you strike at a king, you must kill him.” The implication being that failed attempts to overthrow a government, may come with rather unpleasant consequences. It’s a lesson our imagination challenged leftists are learning now – much to their chagrin.
Our federal debt currently stands at an astronomical $36.4T. Is the accumulation of such debt more than simply a financial issue? Is it also a moral issue?
As Joe Biden left office, was he indulging a burning rage, or taking cold ruthless revenge on the Democrats?
This year, the Idaho legislature will consider a resolution to join 19 other states calling for an Article V convention to propose Constitutional amendments. As momentum for the resolution builds, an army of opponents will argue against it using the rationale provided by globalization advocates.
Senator “Chicken Little” Schiff (D, Dante’s Inferno) went on Meet the Press last week and screamed that the sky is falling – again. Amazingly, he still thinks someone cares about his warnings.
California is a case study in liberal politics taken to the level of absurdity – with imagery too horrific to ignore.
Back in 2002, John Judis and Ruy Teixeira wrote The Emerging Democratic Majority, positing that demographic changes and progressive centrism benefited the Democrat party. The Dems thought it was a secret formula for electoral dominance, ignored the centrism part, and have focused their party on identity politics ever since.
One can only conclude that when highly educated people – who should know better – claim climate science is settled, they’re lying.
Victor Davis Hanson has an article at American Greatness entitled: What Was So Different This Time About Trump’s Election? He notes that Trump’s 2024 return to office looks very different than when he won the election in 2016. This time around, the public is considerably more optimistic about a Trump presidency.
