Citizen Writers Fighting Censorship by Helping Americans Understand Issues Affecting the Republic.
It was a single paragraph in The New York Times which caught my attention: About 171,000 people living in California are homeless, a total that, stunningly, accounts for nearly one-third of all the homeless people in the United States. According to the Census Bureau’s July 1, 2022 guesstimates of population, California had 39,029,342 residents, out …
Democrats have always been the party of want, deprivation, slavery and death. Today they continue to foster child sex-slavery by their venal border policy.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Attorney General Rob Bonta were not too happy on Saturday to hear that 16 illegal immigrants from Texas had been dropped off, “without warning,” at a Sacramento church. Newsom has ordered the state’s Department of Justice to investigate. Specifically, he wants to determine “who paid for the travel of the …
It makes little difference to which political party you belong, there is a point where people say, ‘No more’ and stand their ground.
When is a sanctuary city not a sanctuary? When it’s declared by a poser more interested in appearing charitable than actually being charitable.
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas testified before the House Homeland Security Committee about his agency’s 2024 budget proposal on Wednesday. It did not go well. The hapless official was called out in spectacular fashion by GOP committee members who were incensed over the department’s prioritization of climate change initiatives over the very real fentanyl crisis …
Last night, my spouse called out to me to come upstairs from my basement lair and watch TV with her. Normally, that is a request I might normally have dodged, but since Marquette and Baylor had just destroyed my bracket, I decided to go see what cooking show, HGTV special, or “Housewives” episode had caught …
With each election cycle that passes, the Republican Party leadership shows itself ever more worthless. My involvement in politics has been, like most Americans, somewhat limited. I vote regularly, put out signs and stickers of candidates I support, and occasionally send donations in. Now until the late 2000s I would send an occasional donation to …
The new huddled masses shouldn’t be celebrated like the legal immigrants who passed inspection at Ellis Island to become great Americans. The new huddled masses are both foreign and native origin. They’re a pox upon America. Millions of illegal aliens, the underclass, and the fearful peasants are our new, ignoble huddled masses. The millions of …
Politicians have been lying to their constituents forever. But politicians in America, which until recently had been a democratic republic, were generally held to a higher standard. In recent years, however, a large swath of U.S. politicians no longer concern themselves with the repercussions of their lies. And there are far fewer Republicans among this …
Well, this is shocking. In a stunning departure from the network’s typical liberal spin on the news, CNN reporter Rosa Flores called out President Biden for not meeting with illegal immigrants during his first visit to our southern border. In a segment that aired on Monday, CNN host Poppy Harlow spoke to Flores, who was …
With his 2024 re-election bid in mind, President Joe Biden finally acknowledged the “situation” at our southern border during a Thursday press conference. He announced his intention to visit the border at long last and unveiled his administration’s new plan to address it. The strategy, as you might expect, was feeble. But it was Biden’s …
By John R. “Buck” Surdu On 20 December 22, Congress yet again broke faith with our allies. According to the Washington Post, Congress dropped from its $1.7 billion omnibus spending bill an amendment that would have created a pathway to residency for Afghan refugees, dimming the hopes for tens of thousands of people rescued as …
Six Ongoing Cataclysms in America, Part I; Foundational threats to the American Republic from the US political class
Critical Thinking and Policy: The Wars on Drugs and Poverty In an effective government, the first rule of policy is to set goals and the implementing processes to accomplish them. Politicians and the bureaucracy, however, run the government. The first rule of politicians is to get re-elected. The first rule of bureaucrats is to perpetuate …
During an interview on NBC News’ “Today Show” with co-host Craig Melvin, President Joe Biden said his administration “inherited one God-awful mess at the border.” He blames it on “the failure to have a real transition — cooperation from the last administration, like every other administration has done.” I think even most Democrats realize the …
