Citizen Writers Fighting Censorship by Helping Americans Understand Issues Affecting the Republic.
There’s a comfortable lie Americans like to tell themselves: that we are too smart, too informed, too free to be manipulated at scale. That propaganda is something that happens in other countries, to other people, under other flags. Then you dig up a grainy black-and-white relic like Reefer Madness and realize—no, we ran one of the most effective information operations in modern history… on ourselves.
Part I (see here) discussed the first six of the top 12 issues that continue to be debated in the state, with the ranking order determined by estimated public interest and salience. Each of the issues presented concludes with a positional statement on the issue from a traditionalist constitutional and fiscal conservative standpoint.
Those of us who live in this mismanaged, Democrat-ruled dung-show are keenly aware that Gov. “Hair Gel” has already relentlessly trashed the “Golden State.”
South Dakota’s 101st session of its state legislature recently completed work and adjourned last month, with a number of unresolved matters carrying forward for further work and deliberation.
The top 12 issues that continue to be debated are discussed below, with the ranking order determined by estimated public interest and salience. Each of the issues presented concludes with a positional statement on the issue from a traditionalist constitutional and fiscal conservative standpoint.
Lloyd Center Mall fell apart from death-by-liberalism as BLM/Antifa terrorists and common criminals took over the streets. Democrats defunded police while unleashing hundreds of criminals upon the streets creating a massive crime wave.
It is anyone’s guess how many foreign nationals are currently holding elected office statewide in Washington State and thus, breaking the law with impunity. While WA statutes requires US citizenship to run for and hold an elected position, THE SECRETARY OF STATE (election office) WILL NOT ENFORCE IT.
You didn’t need a history degree to recognize what was happening during the pandemic—you just needed to pay attention to how quickly ordinary people changed under pressure. Not all at once, not everywhere, but enough to notice a pattern. Stress, fear, and anxiety didn’t just shape policy; they reshaped behavior. And in many cases, they …
There’s a quiet absurdity baked into modern America, and like most absurdities, we’ve lived with it so long we stopped questioning it. Every day, the federal government spends billions protecting people who fly occasionally—while leaving tens of millions of children sitting in classrooms with wildly inconsistent security. Let that sink in. We’ve normalized a system where you can’t bring a bottle of water through an airport without federal scrutiny, but your kid can walk into a school where security depends entirely on the zip code.
On Boxing Day of 2023, I noted an article in The Wall Street Journal concerning investors souring on electric vehicle charging companies. In plug in electric vehicles are the wave of the future, why would investors not be moving into, rather than out of, such companies? Note that the original article was from December of …
For generations, deer hunting has been woven into Michigan’s identity. Opening day used to look like a state holiday. Orange jackets in diners at 4 a.m., rifles leaning in pickup trucks, kids learning from their dads and grandfathers that hunting wasn’t just about venison—it was about discipline, stewardship, and tradition. But if you look at the numbers today, something has gone badly wrong. The Michigan Department of Natural Resources has spent decades regulating, restricting, tweaking, and “managing” the deer herd, yet the results speak for themselves: declining harvests, shrinking hunter participation, and a system so tangled that it now struggles to produce enough hunters to even keep the herd under control.
The last decade or so a scheme has been developed by Washington State’s Dems who hate the independence of county sheriffs. They have been chip, chip, chipping away at the citizens’ right to choose their sheriff and transfering that “right” to unelected, unnamed bureaucrats appointed by Democrats.
The Texas Republican party, like the national party, is run by Republicans In Name Only (RINOs). The Lone Star State is giving us hope of knocking some out.
If NATO ever needs a real-world case study in territorial conflict, dominance hierarchies, and cold-weather logistics, they can skip the war colleges and simply hang a bird feeder in northeastern Michigan. Within hours, it becomes a contested supply hub. Within days, a full-blown squirrel conflict emerges—predictable, ruthless, and strangely educational.
York City needs more affordable housing for its residents. Pushing private owners out will only make matters worse
A invasion of illegal aliens on the Long Beach Peninsula did not happen. There are few, if any, of Biden’s “newcomers” here. Yes, there are about 140 foreign nationals, mostly Hispanic, residing here, who came before Biden opened up the southern border.
Promoting violence against ICE officers, WA AG said “As a general matter, state and local law enforcement do not have to simply watch or look away if the laws being violated if they see somebody being assaulted unlawfully or attacked unlawfully or otherwise having their legal rights violated.”
Phase 2 of a color revolution is the “streets on fire” phase. It looks organic. It feels spontaneous. It’s loud, chaotic, righteous, and emotionally intoxicating. This is where the dogs flood the streets. Students, activists, professional grievance collectors, and social-media revolutionaries with ring lights and Venmo links all sprint after the same thing: meaning.
Minneapolis isn’t “going through a moment.” Minneapolis is running a script.
And not the kind of script where everybody just hugs it out at the end and the credits roll over a lake with a canoe and a golden retriever. This is the other kind—the kind you used to see overseas, the kind cable news used to narrate like a nature documentary: Observe the fascinating uprising in its natural habitat. Note the coordinated chants. The symbolic signage. The sudden appearance of professionally printed banners that definitely came from someone’s garage printer.
In Virginia, the Democrats have all the levers of power at the state level for at least 2 years. A Muslim took her oath of office on the Koran. The Democrats – I prefer to more accurately name them as the Bolsheviks they are – have a statewide majority. Ugh. But, despair not, Virginians. It’ll be a rough go, but we must never, never, never, never quit.
Like Wilson and Mamdani, Scott is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America which he joined in 2017. He is the first “socialist” elected to the Washington State Legislature since 1912. Make no mistake about it. He wants everyone to know that he is an avowed Communist.
