Citizen Writers Fighting Censorship by Helping Americans Understand Issues Affecting the Republic.
As I noted earlier, the 5 richest men in America signed the Declaration of Independence in 1776. They actually had fortunes and sacred honor to pledge. The signing was August 2, 1776, when 50 of the 56 delegates to the Continental Congress put their John Hancocks on the declaration—including John Hancock.
The sixth richest man was an otherwise engaged General George Washington.
Boston’s Democrat Mayor Curley used wasteful, aggressive redistribution to his poor Irish constituents and incendiary rhetoric to encourage “richer” citizens to emigrate from Boston, thereby shaping the electorate in his favor. As a consequence, the city stagnated, but Curley kept winning elections.
Hamilton goes on in Federalist 26 to talk about the reasons why a national military is needed and how the legislature provides a check on this power.
Recall just a few short years ago, when Lt. Gen. Flynn suddenly found himself embroiled in a costly legal battle with Obama’s FBI and DOJ after Trump became President No. 45? That cost him and his family untold amounts of money just to defend himself from false accusations of lying to FBI Agents. Other Trump …
The midterms look shaky right now, but all is not lost. Plus 2028 looks better for the presidency.
The idea of a professional soldier would have been foreign to the colonists and a subject of concern. To this day, the funding for our military must be re-authorized every two years.
After yet another asinine policy failed in San Francisco,^ Portland and Seattle want to implement it in their cities to hasten their collapses: A vacancy fee to punish commercial property owners for empty storefronts downtown, as well as fining residential landlords.
I have never believed the leftist maxim that insists diversity is “our strength.” Instead, I see it as divisive, with our nation being split into cultural, ethnic, racial, religious, and political tribes who are essentially at war with one another.
Don Surber covers the media’s offerings this week with a precision in mockery that only he can execute. It may take you a moment to figure out where he’s coming from, but when you do, you’ll be better informed than if you’d watched mainstream media 24/7.
On 23 April, the U.S. Treasury Department announced that the IRS plans to revise Form 990 — the annual information return filed by tax-exempt organizations — to improve transparency and strengthen oversight, specifically targeting reporting on government contracts, government grants, and fiscal sponsorship arrangements. The stated goals are to detect misconduct and hold wrongdoers accountable.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent framed it bluntly: “We are ending the days of hiding fraud, abuse, and extremist activity behind complicated nonprofit arrangements. When bad actors misuse charitable structures, directors and officers should understand that transparency can lead to scrutiny, accountability, and liability under the law.”
Emergencies are often used by authoritarian governments to bend, if not outright flout the rules. Federalist 20 & 21 address this issue.
“Generals don’t run the Army anymore. The lawyers and comptrollers do.” ~Army 3-star General; summer 2013
The MAGA movement is celebrating like Donald Trump destroyed the Death Star. But we need to remember that year-one, was only the first battle in an extended war, because our enemies within, have not been crushed.
America is witnessing an internal insurrection and subversion from the enemy within. We must stop calling what we see “politics,” for it is not, it is a blood sport for absolute power…The Democrat party does not want a country of laws, it wants a dictatorship, hence it continues to project exactly what they are doing on others so that their sheep, the useful idiots, their indoctrinated masses who protest “no kings” will continue to do their dirty work for them.
Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., says ‘some work’ should be done to figure out if the Secret Service needs more resources and cooperation on ‘Hannity.’
“Somewhere in America, a Lamborghini owner is buying groceries on the taxpayer’s dime.” I owe my mean old wife an apology because for years I have told readers that she is the reason I don’t own a Bentley. Sure, she won’t give me permission to buy one, but that’s not the reason. The real reason …
Which means that when we see the near unanimous faux outage from the EU members against the Trump administration at something like the Global Security Forum in Munich, the LSMBTGANF in America fails to report among showcasing the effort that it has been bought and paid for by the Biden Administration through US tax dollars via US government funded and coordinated efforts and approved work plans through USAID and NGOs and US Think Tanks, FFRDC and academia, among other collaborators.
Gun grabbers argue that limiting civilian access to firearms is necessary for public safety, but history has shown us the dangers of disarming the population.
On why the Framers determined that our President should not and would not be a King
Elections still happen. Parties still act like it’s a steel-cage match. But on the fundamentals—the wiring of the economy, the growth of the administrative state, the handshake between government and corporate power—the menu is pre-selected. You’re not choosing dinner; you’re choosing the garnish. The work of Martin Gilens and Benjamin Page (2014) didn’t need conspiracy theories to make the point: policy outcomes tend to track the preferences of economic elites far more than average voters. Translation: your vote counts; your leverage doesn’t.
