America is Squandering its Common Sense
One day, perhaps 50 years from now, historians will look back on the years between 2020 and 2025 and conclude that America was a nation that chose to abandon common sense and reality

Minnesota & Minneapolis Declare War on America
Not since slave-loving Democrats provoked the succession of Southern states from the Union have Democrats demonstrated such hatred for America, but that is exactly what is happening today in Minnesota and Minneapolis.
Anus and Genital Rashes: Fox News, Big Pharma, and the Breakfast-Time
I turn on Fox News for the same reason a man checks the weather before he goes outside: I want to know what’s coming, and I’d prefer not to be blindsided by it. Is the world on fire? Are we at war? Did Congress accidentally pass something useful? Did somebody somewhere do something so insane it requires a full segment and a therapist?
Venezuela raid leaker jailed. WaPo worried.
You may recall that both the Washington Post and New York Times knew about the military’s plans to arrest of Maduro and his wife shortly before the January 3 raid. Both papers declined to use the story.
Elon Musk helps get information out of Iran and to the rest of the world
As we have previously noted, the credentialed media have been publishing rather little on the popular uprisings in Iran. Slightly more has been coming out, but information has still been sparse. More information has been coming out over social media, though, interestingly enough, far less on Bluesky than on Twitter, at least as far as …
Beat the Press; In this administration, everyone pushes back against reporters
Meet the Press began as a weekly show where a group of reporters interviewed a Washington politician, politely taking turns asking questions. It devolved into the mess you see these days. For years Republicans never pushed back.
Minnesota Fats, Somali Fraud, and America’s Dishonest Media
Were he alive today, there is little doubt that Minnesota Fats would be amazed and perhaps a bit envious of the $9 billion hustle currently in progress in his namesake, Minnesota—especially given the fact that the mainstream media seems content to ignore it entirely.
The Political Agenda Behind Year-End ‘Economic Collapse’ Stories
The news stories at the end of the calendar year are different from the news stories the rest of the year. From mid-December through mid-January, there’s a different kind of article that fills the newspapers and floods our websites: the year-end summary.
The Upside-Down Gospel: How Stranger Things Steals from the Bible, but Forgets the Cure
Stranger Things didn’t invent spiritual warfare—it just put it on a BMX bike and added synth music. The show works because it’s parasitic: it feeds on biblical ideas already baked into Western consciousness. Shadow realms. Invasive evil. Possession. Sacrifice. Redemption. None of this is new.
Is the Age of the Printed Book on the Brink of Demise?
During a discussion in a journalism class I was teaching at the University of Illinois a few years ago, I posited the following question: What do you think has been the greatest, most impactful invention in the world during the past 1,000 years?
Running reporters ragged; Trump’s White House South gives him time to golf, talk to heads of state, and blow up ISIS encampments
In Trump’s second presidency, the nation marches on and the twits in the media have to work over the holidays. The poor silly saps have had to come up with their own lines because the DNC doesn’t have enough money to staff peddle their talking points, narratives and lies.
Some Final Screwed Up Posts From 2025
As a great year closes out, the last week brings some really strange views from our liberal friends.
The Threat of Islam and the Meaning of Words
Our society has somehow fallen into a trap of believing that if you don’t have a personal connection who was directly affected by an issue, it’s not as important to society as other issues. so it is with radical, violent iIlam
When CBS silenced Andy Rooney. Twice.
Rooney walked when CBS spiked his essay on war. It was an opinion piece that he wouldn’t change.
Trump v. BBC Sue for $10 billion, settle for $10 million
Our favorite president filed a defamation lawsuit against the British Broadcasting Corporation seeking $10 billion (£7.4 billion). He filed it in the U.S. district court in Miami
Why I am defending Trump; The outrage crowd was silent when a real dictator took over
President Donald John Trump’s tweet about Rob Reiner, whose son killed him and his wife over the weekend, offended liberals because he said the film-maker suffered a mental illness called Trump Derangement Syndrome. He ended his post, “May Rob and Michele rest in peace!”
The Journolism of The Credentialed Media
Ralph Cipriano of Big Trial Blog sent out the message to the left on Twitter — I still refuse to call it 𝕏 — stating that The Philadelphia Inquirer scrubbed the story about Paul George, one of the George Soros-sponsored, criminal-loving and police-hating District Attorney Larry Krasner’s top minions, being disbarred from the federal court …
“No one is above the law.” Unless, of course, it’s immigration law, and then our good friends on the left support breaking the law!
We have previously noted how The Philadelphia Inquirer’s radical left columnist Will Bunch was adamant in his support for legality, railing against President Trump’s pardon of the January 6th Capitol kerfufflers, even though the vast majority of them had already been punished, already served their sentences, his indignation over the United States sinking drug trafficking …
Media frets over Afghans and dead narcos; Not so much Specialist Sarah Beckstrom and Sergeant Andrew Wolfe
The New York Times had another heart-breaking story about poor scared immigrants worried that the mean old ICE will send them back. This time, the concerns are by legal aliens who are from Afghanistan.
The Razor-Thin Tie That Wasn’t
Let’s begin the story by placing blame squarely where it belongs: Congressman Mark Green (R, TN), a former Tennessee state senator before succeeding Senator Marsha Blackburn in her House district, ran for and won reelection to a fourth two-year term – then announced his resignation shortly afterward, serving only half a year and vacating the seat in July, 2025, creating the need for a December 2 special election.
