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

This is the third post of a weekly feature that highlights news and commentary on important geopolitical, cultural, and economic issues that the Democrat-media complex buries because they expose the hypocrisies associated with the continuing Marxist-Democrat narrative. Everything is properly sourced and linked for follow-up reading, whether from legacy media, independent sources, or social media.
Immediately after the 2020 election, I was fortunate to be in contact with a group of independent analysts and experts in their respective fields, e.g., statistics, mathematics, computer science, etc., who provided early analysis of publicly available election data sets from Edison Research and other sources. With their concurrence, I wrote several articles that described their election analyses in several of the swing states – and their inferences that “something was rotten in the state of Denmark.”
Noteworthy items ignored by the Democrat media complex

Despite being trounced after running one of the ineptest presidential campaigns in memory, failed Democrat nominee Kamala Harris has repeatedly left the door open to another bite at the apple in 2028. She has made no secret that she’d abolish the Electoral College if she could, as she mentioned recently:
Joe Biden’s presidential reelection hopes went up in smoke after Americans watched his confused and incoherent performance during the first presidential debate on 27 June 2024. During the debate, Biden’s mental and physical decline could no longer be shielded from the American electorate by the Democrat-media complex. After the debate, the Democrat protect mode ramped up even more to defend Biden, but the shocking new poll numbers panicked Democrats into undemocratically swapping out Biden for Kamala Harris.
Xi Jinping is orchestrating a deliberate, decade-long, multi-domain campaign of ideological and political reconsolidation that draws conscious inspiration from Mao Zedong’s methods while adapting them to a modern surveillance state. The comparison is imperfect but illuminating, and the trend lines are unmistakably moving in one direction — tighter, deeper, and more permanent — while obfuscating its harsh effects on the victims from scrutiny.
Immediately after the 2020 election, I was fortunate to be in contact with a group of independent analysts and experts in their respective fields, e.g., statistics, mathematics, computer science, etc., who provided early analysis of publicly available election data sets from Edison Research and other sources. Having remained in frequent contact with several of them to this very day (we regularly discuss election fraud news that breaks through the wall of legacy media obfuscation and lies), we have become good virtual friends – a commonplace occurrence these days.
The debate over money in politics is defined by a core tension between the ideals of transparency, privacy, and mandated disclosure. Proponents of robust transparency and disclosure requirements (especially America Firsters) argue that voters have a fundamental right to know who is funding candidates, parties, and issue advocacy, as undisclosed “dark money” from wealthy individuals, corporations, unions, or foreign-linked entities can distort democratic outcomes, enable corruption or undue influence, and facilitate implementation of leftwing policies funded by US taxpayers without authorization or scrutiny. They push for lower reporting thresholds, real-time disclosures, and the closing of loopholes like super PACs and 501(c) organizations to let sunlight act as a disinfectant.
This is the second part of a two-part analysis that examines a specific historical claim: that the decades-long push of Democratic Socialists of America inside the Democrat Party follows the same “boring from within” logic the Bolsheviks used against the Socialist Revolutionaries and Mensheviks in 1917 — a small, disciplined vanguard using a broader coalition’s legitimacy and infrastructure to gain position, growing more candid about maximalist goals as it consolidates power, with no intention of remaining merely one faction among many.
The Democratic Socialists of America have achieved some shocking successes in primaries in the US this year, especially in New York and now Denver where a youthful far left radical defeated a 15-term incumbent and member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus.
Friends of Taiwan continue to be alarmed by the antics of the Kuomintang (KMT) leadership. The latest flare was the visit to China by KMT leader Cheng Li-wun, as reported by AP News.
Perhaps the KMT in their continuing drift toward accommodation with the CCP are ignoring the history of (and fate) of other accommodationist political parties like Russia’s Mensheviks did a hundred years ago.
There will be a runoff for the two GOP candidates for governor on 28 July, as none of the four candidates achieved the 35% threshold required to win outright in the 2 June primary election. Political newcomer Toby Doeden finished first with 31% of the votes, followed by Rhoden at 25%, U.S. Rep. Dusty Johnson at 23%, and state House Speaker Jon Hansen at 21%. The race saw one of the highest statewide turnouts in over a decade, over 34% — and for the first time in state history, a runoff is needed to decide the GOP nominee for governor.
Mitch McConnell is AWOL, and his handlers haven’t even provided proof of life (or mental acuity). The rally around “20-minute phone calls” and “cogent conversations on important issues” crap reminds me of the Democrats’ “gravitas maneuver” during the 2000 presidential campaign.
The Congressional Research Service has tracked Chinese nuclear and missile proliferation concerns across multiple decades and report iterations. The six editions examined here span from May 2021 through May 2026. Taken together, they reveal a consistent underlying pattern — Chinese government-level transfers have largely ended, but a persistent, arguably worsening problem of Chinese entity-level proliferation continues unabated — while the diplomatic and rhetorical framing around that problem has shifted considerably over time.
The South Dakota Republican Party’s 2026 State Convention had barely adjourned on 27 June before the story began morphing into something unrecognizable — a cautionary tale about how political social media can transform a minor kerfuffle into a dramatic narrative of martyrdom and persecution.
A deliberate, multi-layered system was assembled over decades by the Democrat Party and its various allies and dramatically expanded between 2021 and 2025 through which U.S. taxpayer dollars, recycled foreign contributions, and dark-money campaign finance were deployed to facilitate mass illegal immigration, entrench the illegal alien population against removal, and sustain the political coalition responsible for building the system in the first place.

This is Part II of a two-part series that is analyzing the La Reconquista movement. It calls for the cultural, demographic, or political “reclamation” of the U.S. Southwest, which Mexico lost after the Mexican-American War.
La Reconquista is a fringe irredentist ideology promoted by some Chicano and Mexican-American activists. It calls for the cultural, demographic, or political “reclamation” of the U.S. Southwest, which Mexico lost after the Mexican-American War.
Every once in a while, Chinese leader Xi Jinping makes a grand announcement that makes a person laugh out loud. His statement on 18 November of last year was one such event, as parroted by state-run China Daily: “President Xi Jinping has called for upholding the unity between Party leadership, the running of the country by the people and law-based governance, and making concerted efforts to break new ground in advancing the rule of law in China.”
