Citizen Writers Fighting Censorship by Helping Americans Understand Issues Affecting the Republic.
This is the sixth post in the ongoing 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. Everything is properly sourced and linked for follow-up reading, whether from legacy media, independent sources, or social media.
This has been a sad and bittersweet year for us. So far this year, we’ve bid farewell to eight of our long-time ministry friends and supporters, as they’ve gone home to be with the Lord. We don’t get invited to weddings anymore, but there have been far too many funerals. Most have passed away at a ripe, old age. Some have been taken from us too soon.
We reported on Tuesday how many law enforcement agencies in Kentucky were cooperating with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and now we’re seeing some of the same in the Keystone State. The activists are, of course, thoroughly incensed: “We don’t need our local police enforcing federal law. It is not their job and has proven time …
There are many fundamental flaws in our current system.
One huge flaw? The data government provides.

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.

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 …
Let me open with the sentence that is going to make several people very uncomfortable before I have even finished my coffee.
The minimum wage is a Jim Crow law. Not “Jim Crow adjacent.” Not “has some racist history if you squint.” An actual, documented, still-functioning mechanism for locking people out of the labor market and into government dependency — built by the same coalition, defended by the same party, and producing the same outcome it was engineered to produce a century ago.
Dave and Sarah had committed the cardinal sin of being responsible adults. They owned a home. They had a car that was paid off. They had $3,200 in a savings account — money they’d been scraping together for years to have SOMETHING in case of emergency. And now the emergency was here, and the government said, “Sorry, you’re too rich for help.”
One thing I noticed during my 34 years (1986 to 2020) practicing law in Oregon, if you knew how to play the game, non-disabled people could “qualify” for monthly Social Security Disability benefits which, if one timed it right, would guarantee lifelong monthly payments more than the person would receive as a retiree.
