Trump’s A Team testifies: Who did best? Bessent? Mullin? Rubio?

Secretaries Scott Bessent, Markwayne Mullin and Marco “Polo” Rubio testified before Congress this week. Democrat congressmen and Thom Tillis may wish to reconsider their life choices after the outings.

Expecting Core Values In A Society Where There Is Increasingly No Such Thing

Dude, get over yourself: it’s not. Unless you mean the occasion where a president will speak about how we came to be a free nation in which a people can pursue any manner of vocation they desire. Whatever you have lapped up or cherry-picked from the LSMBTGANF propaganda is not of interest to those gathering for a Memorial Day speech that celebrates the sacrifices of those who gave their all for this nation.

Democrats don’t know American men: They believe we are Nazis who eat barbecue with a napkin and use tampons

Adolf Platner. Six Genders Talarico. Tampon Tim. The first two are Democrat Senate candidates while Walz was the party’s vice presidential nominee in 2024. Democrats aimed these weirdos at collecting the XY vote. They have the combined testosterone of my 5-year-old grandson.

Thune joins the resistance; Sends Senate home without passing a budget. Whee!

Led by John Thune, Republican senators have joined the resistance by going on recess without fully funding the Department of Homeland Security—perhaps in an effort to attract the terrorist vote.

Senators claim it is a pro forma recess and not a real recess. I never studied the law but I do know that when lawyers start talking in Latin, my liberty is in jeopardy.

Democrats are blowing it: Taking back the House should be a gimme. It isn’t.

Backlash from the Lewinsky impeachment gained seats for Democrats and 4 years later, tough action on 9/11 earned Bush’s party extra seats.

The average person lies once or twice a day, though that number is misleading. Most lies are told by a small minority of people, while many others rarely lie at all. Telling the truth is your brain’s default setting. Lying requires overriding that default, which demands real cognitive effort. Neuroimaging research shows that deception activates the prefrontal cortex, the region responsible for higher-level thinking and self-control, far more than honest responses do.

Propaganda from the credentialed media will not change reality

My website, The First Street Journal, maintains a Stylebook of its own devise. It includes: Those who claim to be transgender will be referred to with the names, honorifics, and pronouns appropriate to the sex of their birth; the site owner does not agree with the cockamamie notion that anyone can simply ‘identify’ with a …
