Citizen Writers Fighting Censorship by Helping Americans Understand Issues Affecting the Republic.
The Republican part of the bi-partisan housing bill passed (Senate: 85-5, House: 358-32) is typically Republican. Clueless. Short-sighted. Un-principled. Needless spending the Nation into bankruptcy. Un-Constitutional. Foolish beyond contempt. Enabling the Democrat road to Socialism.
Three tourists from Reading & Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, spent a week on the West Coast, coming home to declare that Portland is a “shithole.” “Why do these people shit where they eat?” Jack asked his granddad who responded “Democrats!”
The myth that America would magically function better with more political parties ignores one stubborn fact: more factions don’t automatically create more agreement. Look at the 574 federally recognized tribal governments. They don’t speak with one voice—and they shouldn’t be expected to. The 2022 renaming of 643 geographic features proved that even within Native communities, history, language, and culture are far more complex than Washington’s one-size-fits-all solutions. Diversity of opinion is a strength, but pretending there’s only one “correct” voice is politics masquerading as consensus.
The culmination of the Left’s gender bending, death cult brainwashing was evident in last week’s assassination of Charlie Kirk, whose only “crime” was speaking freely about his Faith, Family and Country, and his only weapon, a microphone.
The real problem isn’t that America has two political parties—it’s that we’ve rediscovered tribalism. I remember growing up in the 1980s when your “tribe” was mostly your family, your neighborhood, your church, or the people your parents spent time with. Democrats and Republicans certainly disagreed, but most Americans weren’t immersed in the other side’s outrage 24 hours a day. Social media changed that. Today we’re constantly exposed to the loudest, angriest voices from the “other tribe,” and algorithms profit by keeping us divided, suspicious, and emotionally invested in conflict. Every insult, every viral clip, and every political flashpoint reinforces the idea that our fellow Americans are enemies rather than neighbors. When political hatred escalates into threats or acts of violence—including attacks targeting public figures—it should remind us that tribalism, left unchecked, stops being politics and starts becoming something far more dangerous. A constitutional republic cannot survive if our highest loyalty is to the tribe instead of to the principles that bind us together.
Don Surber’s take on this week’s offerings from the news media will make you think and often laugh out loud. Enjoy!
A month ago, Democrats in Maine nominated Graham Platner and his Nazi tattoo (now covered up) as their Senate candidate. The party hoped that they could dress up as a working class hero someone expelled from a private school as a teen who grew up to be a ne’er-do-well.
Secretary Rubio cancelled 83% of programs funded by OUR tax dollars via USAID in April 2025. He cancelled contracts worth TENS OF BILLIONS of dollars. By July 2025 USAID had ceased to exist as an independent agency. What was left of it was folded into the State Department.
At the moment, 2026 Democratic senatorial nominee Graham Platner of Maine — my mother’s home state — has been sucking up all of the news coverage, following the accusations by a fellow Democratic woman that he broke into her house and raped her. The Democrats were OK with his Totenkopf death head tattoo, with his …
David McIntosh, President of the Club for Growth, discusses the impact of Graham Platner and socialism on the Democratic Party.
President Trump took questions about Graham Platner aboard Air Force One. Platner was the Senate Democratic contender for Maine, but has since dropped out of the race after a woman told CNN he raped her five years ago when they were in a casual dating relationship – an allegation Platner denies.
The number of in theory democrat candidates spewing inanities and unhinged positions–and proud to do so–has increased every year in the 21st century. Driven by the need to stand out from the average fringe positions to increasingly lunatic positions, unbridled by any semblance of common sense or lived experience or the need to explain how their aberrant ideas will work.
The Graham Platner race for Maine’s U.S. Senate seat raises questions, not just for Maine voters, but for the entire country. What can we learn from this peculiar campaign, and what does it tell us about today’s Democrat party voters?

As the British would say, the Democrat Party is about to give Graham Platner the Spanish archer, aka, the El-Bow. The Nazi-tattooed misogynist mess who raises oysters for his mommy’s restaurant has begun to slip in the polls made public—an indication that Democrats are horrified by the results of their more accurate internal polling.
On Monday, he suspended his campaign, which paves the way for replacing him before the weekend deadline.
On July 2, 1776, the Continental Congress met in Philadelphia to formally vote to declare independence from Great Britain. The vote of the states was 12 yes, 0 no, and 1 abstention. New York failed to vote because its delegates claimed they lacked direction from their state government.
My digital subscription to The Philadelphia Inquirer hits my bank account for $27.96 every four weeks, or $363.48 every year. The City of Brotherly Love is where the members of the Continental Congress met and finally declared our independence from King George and Great Britain 250 years and one day ago. Yet our nation’s third …
Roger Kimball wrote, “Why socialism will fail,” a pretty nifty if overly intellectualized piece that encapsulates the common smug capitalist prediction of doom because “sooner or later you run out of other people’s money.”
Hahaha, right?
Really? Well, Congress ran out of other people’s money in the 1980s. We have a national debt approaching $40 trillion—$40 million million. Maybe we’re the socialists but we just won’t admit it.
For most of our country’s life, the District of Columbia was governed directly by the federal government. It is our nation’s capital, and it must be brought back under complete federal control
When we moved from an area dominated by crazed Democrats, Portland, OR, where the Dem riots continued for 5 months in 2020, to this more politically balanced area, we immediately noticed a difference in attitude. Even though there are plenty of Liberals here, they aren’t as nasty as they are in Blue-ruined cities & states.
