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

I’m sensing the planet sees our being stuck in the muck in Iran as that opportunity. And they are beginning to more rapidly unwind the US’s impositions.
To wit: The US dollar.
My mind processes things uniquely. As all our minds do.
Mine does so bizarrely. Which, thankfully, very few of our minds do.
And so it was when I saw the following in DC tech publication Broadband Breakfast….
Intelligence (AI) down our throats.
But three decades of Internet later? Big Gov still hasn’t passed a digital privacy law – limiting even a little Big Tech’s multi-trillion-dollar-per-annum data harvesting business model.
It’s all such a mystery.
The monster comedian Jerry Seinfeld has a great observation about how lots of money can sometimes lead to lazy thinking – and even non-thinking.
“It does me no injury for my neighbour to say there are 20 gods or no God. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.” Again, broadly: If my neighbor’s economic activities neither pick my pocket nor break my leg? They can have at it – and the very best of luck to them.

I have said for a very long time:
The only two US political battles that currently matter?
Globalist v Nationalist
DC v US
What is FERC, you ask?:
“FERC’s Mission: Assist consumers in obtaining reliable, safe, secure, and economically efficient energy services at a reasonable cost through appropriate regulatory and market means, and collaborative efforts.”
“Privatize the profit – socialize the costs?” You betcha.
Utility companies are their own personalized legal black hole. Private companies own them – but get all sorts of government cronyism to aid and abet their profit making and taking.
It’s a quintessential example of the Diet Fascism that now dominates the US.
“‘The message is clear,’ New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez, whose investigation resulted in a jury finding on Tuesday that Meta must pay $375 million for failing to protect kids from child predators, told POLITICO in an interview. ‘It’s time to change the way these companies do business.’
The US government is $39+ trillion in debt. It is currently adding $1 trillion to its tally every five months. And through the magic of compound interest? The debt accumulation will only continue to accelerate.
Sad. True Remember Donald Trump saying this? Trump Says Most of the Media is the Enemy of the People He wasn’t wrong. He still isn’t. Big Media incessantly promotes lies – and buries truths. Of course, Big Media ain’t We the People’s only domestic enemy. It ain’t even the biggest. Big Media does a LOT …
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.
