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

Does anyone think we, in 2026, suffer from a dearth of choice when it comes to news and entertainment? if not, then why do we spend taxpayer money to subsidize such?
This is the first in what I envision as an ongoing series of looks at why I left the United States. And why I heartily recommend others take a long, hard, serious look at doing the same.
Cheap, abundant oil lubricates the economy. Gasoline and diesel is cheaper. Which means everything delivered in vehicles running on gasoline and diesel is cheaper. Which is pretty much everything.
There have been debates for decades about the threat level Iran poses to the United States. (Which as Americans should be the only thing that actually matters.)
Starting in the 1970s, the United States government began STUPIDLY helping their Big Business cronies force convert US into a 70% consumption economy. Which now means: For every $10 of US economic activity? $7 is spending money.
Reasonable people to think, “If all fifty states have a Department of X? The federal government should not have a Department of X.” Because a federal 51st Department of X would be redundant. And unconstitutional.
I am a conservative, who thinks decades’ worth of a lack of proper antitrust enforcement – has been a key component in the downfall of America.
Governments all over the planet are currently engaged in many pronounced, monetary bad practices. None more so than the United States.
Identifying issues LONG ignored by DC has been a hallmark of the Decade of Trump. I often don’t like his alleged remedies. But I REALLY like his exposing DC for the cauldron of amoral fraud it is. And so it is with Trump swerving into the credit card interest rate problem.
Americans look at America’s institutions – at all levels – RACING to sell US out to Big Tech and its Artificial Intelligence? Just the latest in a LONG litany of instances of America’s institutions selling out Americans?
There’s a legitimate reason or two why many of us are…underwhelmed by the Donald Trump Administration’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein saga. We see the Epstein List (to use the prevailing euphemism) as a key plug in the retaining wall maintaining the fetid and festering cess pool that is DC.
I have for YEARS described DC as the Butcher of America. Our alleged representatives have LONG been carving up the country – and selling it by the pound to the globalist money men and women.
Unelected bureaucrats – unaccountable to the President and thus anyone? Can grow and grow and grow government – completely unrestrained by anyone. Which is antithetical to the Constitution.
Since DC jettisoned the gold standard and imposed fiat currency in 1971? The US dollar is down in value 87%.
What makes The Elites think they will remain exempt from the the AI fate they are inflicting upon the rest of us? Methinks AI has further blinded them with hubris.
The United States Constitution severely restricts what the federal government is supposed to do. By specifically delineating what the fed gov is supposed to do.
An alleged bulwark against the fifty states overspending like the federal government? Has been the old saw: “The states can’t print money.”
The US owes $38+ trillion. Stop right there. That amount of money is insurmountable – and un-payback-able.
The US Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in 2024 was $29.2 trillion. So the debt is 130+% of that. That alone is enough information to write off the US.
And as the government consumes more and more of our money? It ain’t the Elites that are crowded out of the pool. It is you and me.
In his television show “Yellowstone,” creator/writer Taylor Sheridan delivers some sage advice via his character Rip: “Life is plenty hard. You don’t need to help it.”
