By John R. “Buck” Surdu Statista asserts that 78% of the American people disapprove of Congress as of April 2023. Indeed, in recent years, disapproval ratings of all federal institutions have skyrocketed. The approval rating of the person occupying the oval office is less than 30%, prompting one to think about the incredible level of …
By Dan Davis and John R. “Buck” Surdu We all have witnessed the aggressive, “creative,” and putatively unethical behavior of a few of our prosecutors. At the same time, they have facilitated significant rises in violent crimes by creating novel excuses for releasing the most violent among us, all the while they were focused on …
By John R. “Buck” Surdu To many conservatives, deplorables, and patriots, the Federal government has become an organized crime junta, growing its reach and power like any cartel, stealing from the people they are supposed to be serving, and openly engaging in graft and corruption. There was a time when graft and corruption were hidden, …
by John R. “Buck” Surdu Recently House Republicans passed the “Parental Bill of Rights” bill by a narrow 213-208 vote. The Hill reported, The measure would require schools to publish their curricula publicly, mandate that parents be allowed to meet with their children’s teachers and make schools give information to parents when violence occurs on school grounds. It …
By John R. “Buck” Surdu I have thought for a while that “citizen” has become synonymous with “serf” or “slave.” Citizens do the producing and paying, yet the ruling class vilifies them. They support the indolent through the forcible extraction of tax dollars while watching sheepishly as the fascists erode our freedoms. Our ruling class has …
By John R. “Buck” Surdu This week ESPN reported that Army football player Andre Carter II was poised to be the first Army football player to be drafted in the NFL higher the seventh round in over fifty years. This sparked debate on some of the social media sites for Academy graduates. “In December, Congress passed …
We have spent $113B in Ukraine and shipped them weapons and munitions we will likely need in a war with China that many general officers predict by 2025. If we had America-loving leaders instead of America-hating fascists running the country, we might have a more rational and explicable approach to Ukraine. Instead, we have typical …
There has been a lot of speculation about whether Ron DeSantis, the current Governor of Florida, who won reelection by a landslide, will run for President. I think that he would be an excellent President in the same way he has been an excellent governor. I hope he does not run. I would rather he …
By John R. “Buck” Surdu I have often said that as a company commander I kicked people out of the Army who are better people and better citizens than more than half the people I meet every day in civilian life. I have seen commanders relieved for cause for a variety of purposes. Yet stories …
John R. “Buck” Surdu Bed Bath and Beyond is contracting and closing stores. Their creditors stopped their line of credit. We never bought a lot from Bed Bath and Beyond, but we shopped there. Much of what is in our kitchen came from there. I don’t know if they have mismanaged their affairs, if they …
By John R. “Buck” Surdu San Francisco’s African American Reparations Committee recently recommended that the city give every black San Francisco resident $5M in reparations “not for slavery, since California was not technically a slave state, but “to address the public policies explicitly created to subjugate Black people in San Francisco by upholding and expanding the intent …
Richard Feynman famously said, “Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts.” The monetary policies of those “experts” have driven up the national debt to astronomical levels buying votes from stupid and gullible voters. Any person with three brain cells to rub together knows that if your income is $X then you spend something …
The DOJ’s delicate approach to Biden’s mishandling of classified documents demonstrates we all know that equal protection under the law has become a farce.
John R. “Buck” Surdu In previous articles, I have been quite outspoken that there is little difference in my mind between the Demonic Democrats and the Repugnant Republicans. In particular, I predicted in at least two articles that the highly anticipated “red wave” was going to be a red trickle. Simply put, the midterms were …
By John R. “Buck” Surdu On 20 December 22, Congress yet again broke faith with our allies. According to the Washington Post, Congress dropped from its $1.7 billion omnibus spending bill an amendment that would have created a pathway to residency for Afghan refugees, dimming the hopes for tens of thousands of people rescued as …
Leftists like to spout baseless drivel about how certain demographics do not pay their fair share of the tax burden. This is a typical tool of the Marxists and America haters to foment class and racial unrest. The US does not have a taxation problem. We have a spending problem. The Federal overlords spend way …
By John R. “Buck” Surdu Recently the Daily Wire called attention to an interview that Candace Cameron Bure made with the Wall Street Journal. Bure is one of several actresses and actors who have fled the increasingly woke Hallmark Channel to move to the Great American Family channel. According to the Daily Wire, When asked …
John R. “Buck” Surdu Ronald Reagan is credited with having said, “Some people live an entire lifetime and wonder if they have ever made a difference in the world. A veteran doesn’t have that problem.” This is the kind of quote that “fact checkers” on Internet like to debunk. Whether Regan said it or not, …
By John R. “Buck” Surdu Several weeks ago, despite the growing euphoria over a predicted Red Wave, I predicted a Red Trickle. At the time, I said it was because the Republicans don’t stand for anything and weren’t offering voters anything other than more investigations and counter investigations and “those guys suck worse than us.” …
They hate us. Hate. They don’t just disagree with our positions. They HATE us. Democrats, Leftists, and Quisling Republicans hate us.
