Citizen Writers Fighting Censorship by Helping Americans Understand Issues Affecting the Republic.
We’ve built an empire around something that doesn’t actually exist — not in any tangible, survivable sense. Our currency, the almighty dollar, is a human invention with no intrinsic value, no caloric energy, no sheltering power. You can’t eat it, you can’t heat your home with it, and it doesn’t grow in the soil — yet people live and die by it.
The long federal shutdown was broken without Republican compromise. Longtime Washington watchers, accustomed to Republicans caving early from fear that the Democrats would win the PR game, were pleasantly surprised to see that the GOP didn’t give in on anything serious this time.
Zohran Mamdani, the illegal alien soon to assume the mayoralty of New York City, shocked many with his declaration that “We will prove that there is no problem too large for government to solve, and no problem too small for government to care about.”
Lex McMenamin (they/them) describes himself¹ in his Bluesky biography as: permanent Philadelphian in NYC, opinions mine WAS politics @teenvogue.com member @transjournalists.org @leximcmenamin elsewhere linktr.ee/leximcmenamin As you can see, Mr McMenamin, who puts plural pronouns in his signature line on Bluesky, is going to be a flaming liberal, as the list of his online articles shows. …
The Democrat shut down of the Federal Government holds back federal funds to help feed one in eight Americans. Almost 42m Americans get food assistance? No. 42m PERSONS living in America get food assistance.
In Oregon, the number of timber harvested on federal lands were reduced by 90% from 1989 to 2011 due to Democrat policies. The decline in the lumber sector caused high unemployment rates in the rural parts of Oregon and impoverished whole communities.
Well, the federal government has finally achieved something historic — the longest shutdown in U.S. history. Congratulations, Washington! You’ve officially proven that when you stop working, nothing really changes.
So, while this isn’t the biggest immediate issue to resolve, it is indeed the biggest longterm issue: what can be done to reduce the harm of future shutdowns?
Deciphering Chinese leader Xi Jinping’s periodic public statements could be a cottage industry. Some of his assertions and urgings are head-scratchers, given their divergence from easily verified facts.
The Democrat Party has declared war on America. It would be difficult to believe that they can win elections after all the riots, protests, insurrection, and their government shutdown.
They say history repeats itself, but that’s lazy thinking. History doesn’t repeat — it stumbles out of the bar at 2 a.m., grabs the wrong Uber, and wakes up wearing someone else’s crown, wondering why the peasants are revolting again. What really happens is that patterns emerge — and if you’re lucky (or paying attention), they’re the good kind.
I’d like to suggest that Swedish school girls stop losing sleep over the climate change boogeyman under their beds, because there’s another “hockey stick” that’s going to beat us to death, long before our coastal cities sink beneath the rising seas.
My high school senior year (Class of 1989) history teacher asked us what we thought was the single largest problem facing the United States. I said the federal government’s debt. I was the only one who did so. The teacher rolled his eyes when he read mine aloud – as if it was the dumbest of all possible submissions.
My good friend Robert Stacy McCain — The Patriarch Tree on Twitter since his old rsmccain account got trashed by the pre-Elon Musk regime — wrote about, in less than flattering terms about a ‘sex worker’ styling herself “Aella”. It seems that she had a birthday gang bang, sexually taking on 37 men on her …
Let’s cut to the chase: money is a collective hallucination. It’s paper (or pixels) we pretend is worth something because—well, everyone else does. You can’t eat it, drink from it, clothe yourself with it (except by converting it). If the shared belief that it’s valuable dissolves, poof — it’s worthless.
China declared new export controls on rare earths, which by some accounts are so extreme as to not only ban exports of the goods from China, but also to ban the manufacture or export of related goods from any other country.
We cannot even begin to address our rising national debt until we stop using false terms, false beliefs and stop ceding power to the Federal government.
The White House had threatened mass layoffs of federal government employees if Senate Democrats didn’t end their filibuster of the continuing resolution to fund the government, and many of us were wondering when, or if, it was going to happen. From The Wall Street Journal: White House Starts Mass Layoffs of Government Workers Many …
In the aftermath of September 11, 2001, New York City became a symbol of American resilience, unity, and patriotism. Over the past two decades, however, the city has undergone significant demographic and ideological changes. Leftist activism, illegal immigration, and a generational turnover have taken a hard bite out of the Big Apple’s core political landscape especially among younger voters.
US consumers have yet another hyper-interest-inflated debt to throw on the pile. Atop their hyper-interest-inflated mortgages, credit cards, cars, student loans,….
