Citizen Writers Fighting Censorship by Helping Americans Understand Issues Affecting the Republic.
Are you getting tired of Dems suddenly concerned about “affordability” now that Biden is out of office and Trump 47 is in? The same Democrats and media talking heads did not care when the Biden Regime intentionally created 21 percent inflation, pushing many Americans into poverty.
From the German electoral success of AfD, to the question of President Trump’s E.O.s on mail-in ballots, and the high price of gasoline, we have a lot to think about this autumn as our own elections approach:
There are many fundamental flaws in our current system.
One huge flaw? The data government provides.
It is always under the control of an elected administration – that would suffer un-election should too much of that data be negative.
So it is inherently in every administration’s interest? To fudge, obfuscate and reconfigure the data.
Former Council of Economic Advisors acting chair Tomas Philipson breaks down why Canada faces greater stakes in a trade war with the U.S. and argues retaliatory tariffs are too small to drive broad inflation on ‘The Bottom Line.’
Don Surber delivers his take on this week’s news items as only he can. He’ll make you think, laugh, and learn to recognize the absurdity of the media’s coverage of the news.
ITEM 1: Yahoo reported, “A Popular ED Medication Was Just Linked to a Greater Risk of Blindness in Men Over 40.’
As the movie asked, can I do it till I need glasses?
President Donald Trump intensifies pressure on the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates, threatening to cut off trade with certain economies with which the US has a deficit. He speaks with reporters at the White House.

White House Office of Science and Technology policy director Michael Kratsios discusses the Trump administration’s push for fewer regulations on artificial intelligence at the G20 on ‘Kudlow.’
Red China is hurting for certain. The world’s largest oil importer lost oil from Iran and Venezuela, which supplied 15% of the oil it bought last year.
Under Trump, the USA is a net exporter of oil. That should be the case for decades to come because thanks to President Trump and Chief Warrant Officer Five Eric A. Slover, America now controls 65 billion barrels of oil in Venezuela. Slover is the helicopter pilot who took a licking of bullets but kept on ticking as the military extracted Maduro on January 3, earning a Medal of Honor.
U.S. Trade Rep. Jamieson Greer discusses sparring between the United States and Canada over a last-minute deal implosion, trade with China and more on ‘Special Report.’
The Pentagon doesn’t fight just one kind of war. Some are fought with tanks and rifles; others with spreadsheets, PowerPoint, and somebody quietly asking, “Where haven’t they spent their money yet?” Born from Robert McNamara’s 1960s-era attempt to bring rational analysis to defense spending, the POM process evolved into an institutionalized food fight where the Active Army, National Guard, and Army Reserve defend their rice bowls while hunting for everyone else’s leftovers. I happened to be pretty good at looking under the fiscal seat cushions—and somewhere, I suspect, a retired National Guard programmer still mutters my name. Welcome to the Pentagon Wars.
Panelists Miranda Devine and Kellyanne Conway dissect the economy under President Donald Trump, U.S. sanctions on Iran and more on ‘Kudlow.’
The House votes on a resolution condemning socialism, forcing Democrats on the record. Plus, Michigan candidate Abdul El-Sayed faces scrutiny over his ties to far-left influencer Hasan Piker.
Last week, the Cat’s Poll asked, “What happens if Democrats don’t win the Senate?”
69% of the readers said, “Xi simply buys more GOP senators.”
Surber’s Cynics never let me down.
Perhaps we’ve been looking at America’s beef crisis all wrong. Beef is expensive. The cattle herd is historically small. Drought hammered ranchers. Feed got expensive. Equipment got expensive. Interest got expensive. Land got expensive. Mexican cattle imports were disrupted because a flesh-eating parasite decided to make a comeback. Obviously, the solution is simple. Eat bugs. …
Unleash Prosperity principal Phil Kerpen and SlateStone Wealth chief market strategist Kenny Polcari discuss Fed chair Kevin Warsh’s Jackson Hole speech, July PCE inflation data and Federal Reserve monetary policy on ‘Kudlow.’
Now that all the left’s principled arguments for abortion have fallen apart, Chelsea Clinton has come to the rescue with an economic argument.
My good friend and sometime blog pinch hitter William Teach noted the Associated Press story, “ICE arrests jumped to nearly 50,000 in July, the highest monthly total of Trump’s second term.” That’s great, but let’s do the math. 50,000 arrests, and hopefully deportations, times 12 equals just 600,000 per year. In the 30 months remaining …
Our income is under attack from both the right and left. The socialist left wants corporate profits to be restricted with higher taxes while the Trump administration has been intimidating corps to lower prices – both plans mean less income to pay their shareholders. Corporations use their gross income (profit before tax) for capital improvements and research. What remains after taxes is paid out as dividends to the owners (stockholders). Anyone who has common stock – either personally, in trust or in a retirement account – is at risk of losing income when publicly traded companies encounter reduced profits.
The United States has instituted yet another punitive tariff, this time on Canada. But why Canada – and why now – and why has Canada’s own government been working against the Canadian economy for so long?
