by

Noteworthy items ignored by the Democrat media complex

This is the second 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.

Liability Insurance

by

The sound of breaking glass awakens you in the dead of night. You instinctively grab your trusty shotgun, herd all family members into a single room and call the police. However, before the police arrive the intruder finds you and advances – the 2×4 he used to break your sliding glass door raised above his head. Fearing for your life and your family’s – you shoot him.

The Thin Veneer

by

We like to believe America is immune—that we’re somehow different from every civilization that came before us. History laughs at that kind of arrogance.

Yugoslavia wasn’t supposed to collapse. Rwanda wasn’t supposed to collapse. Their citizens woke up one morning convinced civilization was permanent, until they discovered it wasn’t. The most dangerous moment for any nation isn’t when people disagree. It’s when they stop believing the rules matter and begin believing only their side is legitimate.

The Constitution isn’t self-executing. Freedom isn’t self-sustaining. Civilization isn’t guaranteed.

It’s a veneer—thinner than most of us would ever dare admit.

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

by

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.

The View From the Ivory Tower: Sunny Hostin’s Privilege Problem

by

I want to start with a confession. I do not watch The View. I have a job, a family of six, a stack of Anatomy quizzes to grade, and generally better things to do with an hour of my life than listen to five women agree with each other very loudly. But every so often the internet drags a clip across my desk that I simply cannot ignore, and this one has EVERYTHING — hypocrisy, genealogy, railroad tracks, and a lecture on privilege delivered by a woman who apparently skipped the chapter on her own family history. So grab some coffee. This is a long one, and it is worth it.

We should never release murderers until their victims come back to life!

by

Tuesday morning’s lead editorial in The Philadelphia Inquirer is a complaint that President Trump is fighting a war on the truth by claiming that the credentialed media often publish #FakeNews, while at the same time publishing, as an ostensibly ‘straight news’ story that is actually a sob story about a convicted murderer who wants to get out of prison.

Does the First Amendment Comes with a Racial Disclaimer?

by

If constitutional rights ever begin to depend on the race of the speaker rather than the content of the law, America will have crossed a dangerous line. The First Amendment was written to protect individuals—not identities. Justice must remain blind, because the moment she peeks beneath the blindfold to see who is standing before her, equal justice under law becomes little more than a slogan.

The Boasberg boomerang: He inadvertently led Trump to a court that may expedite deportations

by

Sometimes a swamp critter acts too smart for his own good. And so it goes with the Dishonorable Judge Jimmy the Geek Boasberg, who mocked the Department of Justice in a hearing on March 21, 2025, in which the ACLU claimed that the government violated a previous order by Boasberg not to deport 100 members of the Venezuelan gang TdA.

Lindsey Graham, a profile in courage

by

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).
