News Highlights of the Week: Trannies belong in cars not women’s sports.

The information warfare machine continues to spew out its drivel. Objective: Pit you against me, in whatever form that manifests. Man against God, man against women, man against countrymen, it matters not, so long as discord and chaos reign. If you read Don’s take on the news this week, you can skip the psyops and develop a jaundiced eye toward the psyop minions: the media.

Omertà: Fully pardoned Fauci took the Fifth to protect someone else

Which leads to Wednesday’s Senate committee hearing—chaired by Senator Rand Paul—into the trillion-dollar covid catastrophe caused by Tony Fauci, whom Reagan brought to Washington to find a cure for AIDS. Over the course of 40 years, Fauci built a bureaucratic empire and ingratiated himself among the politicians, celebrities and press gaggles of DC. Barbra Streisand had him on speed dial.

McCarthy Was Right

“Today we are engaged in a final, all-out battle between communistic atheism and Christianity.”

Sen. Joseph McCarthy

For those younger people who didn’t get a well-rounded education, and that is probably the majority of people under 50 years of age, Joseph McCarthy was a Republican senator from Wisconsin from 1947 to 1957.

Obfuscating Money in Politics: McCain-Feingold, USAID, and the NGO Network

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.

The CMP: America’s Quiet National-Security Insurance Policy

The Civilian Marksmanship Program is more than a shooting organization. It is a self-funded national-security asset that preserves firearms safety, competitive marksmanship, and a reserve of civilian expertise. During the Iraq War, CMP volunteers even traveled to military installations such as Fort Campbell to help the U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit train deploying soldiers as Squad Designated Marksmen. What looks like recreation on Saturday can become battlefield capability when the nation needs it.

DSA is not in America’s DNA: Democrats are in trouble and they don’t know how to get out

Democrats have a poison called DSA—Democrat Socialists of America—a communist organization that made Mamdani mayor of New York, New York. If communism can make it there, it will make it anywhere, right?

But Democrat officials know voters are rejecting it—for now.

This is Part 2 of a 2-part analysis examining the phenomenon of Democratic Socialism

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 BILL HAS REAL TEETH’: GOP rep unveils congressional trading CRACKDOWN

Rep. Bryan Steil, R-Wis., details the House of Representative’s busy legislative week, aiming to pass critical bills including the SAVE America Act, on ‘The Bottom Line.’

Modern time began in 1883: Railroads gave us Standard Time. 35 years later, Congress gave us DST

Just what time that sun’ll come out is up to Congress.

Having balanced the budget, passed the SAVE Act and restricted insider trading by congressmen and congressional staffers, members of the House and the Senate are debating time itself. The issue is whether we should go to year-round daylight savings time, year-round standard time or just leave the whole thing alone and keep changing our clocks twice a year.

From Camp Perry to National Readiness: Why Military Shooting Teams Matter

For more than 120 years, America’s military marksmanship teams have done far more than chase medals. Every summer at Camp Perry’s Small Arms Firing School, they pass generations of hard-earned knowledge to ordinary citizens—teaching safe firearms handling, precision marksmanship, and personal responsibility. It’s a quiet mission rooted in federal law since 1903, built on a simple idea: a nation is stronger when its citizens are capable, disciplined, and prepared. The trophies are impressive, but the real legacy is American readiness.

The Mitch McConnell and Scott Jennings Conversation: This stinks to high heaven

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.

Everything Looks Like a Nail When You Own a Trillion-Dollar Hammer

Eisenhower didn’t warn America about a foreign army. He warned us about ourselves. A five-star general looked into the future and cautioned that a permanent military, a permanent defense industry, and a permanent government bureaucracy could become so intertwined that only an “alert and knowledgeable citizenry” could keep them in check. Sixty-five years later, we spend roughly a trillion dollars a year on national defense, the Pentagon still can’t earn a clean financial audit, and many Americans know more about celebrity gossip than federal spending. The question isn’t whether Eisenhower was right. The question is whether we’re still the alert and knowledgeable citizens he believed liberty required.

‘STICK IT OUT’: GOP senator says US action against Iran needed to force change

Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., discusses GOP efforts to pass the SAVE America Act before Congress’ August recess and the United States resuming a naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz on ‘The Bottom Line.’

Lindsey Graham, a profile in courage

Senator Lindsey Graham died this weekend from a heart attack, two days after his 71st birthday. He left behind no wife, no children and not much of a fortune—at best $3 million after 33 years in Congress.

But he bequeathed to the American people a fair and impartial Supreme Court that had the boldness to take on the powers of the federal bureaucracy (West Virginia v. EPA) and return to the states powers previous courts and Congress had stolen (Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization).
