Baghdad NYT: ‘A More Confident Iran Emerges After Six Months of War With the U.S.’

That was the headline in the New York Times. The sub-headline read, “New intelligence reports have assessed that Iran now has a far better understanding of its capabilities and the limits of U.S. power.”

Fact-check: Well, yes if you consider they now realize their capabilities are nada, non-existent, zilch. The Persian Army has more power and it disappeared in a sandstorm west of Thebes 2,551 years ago.

Highlights of the News with Don Surber

Don Surber delivers his take on this week’s news items as only he can. He’ll make you think, laugh, and learn to recognize the absurdity of the media’s coverage of the news.

ITEM 1: Yahoo reported, “A Popular ED Medication Was Just Linked to a Greater Risk of Blindness in Men Over 40.’

As the movie asked, can I do it till I need glasses?

Trump succeeded where FDR failed

Hey media: Don’t dish it out if you can’t take it. Somehow they can fact-check Trump but the First Amendment protects them from being fact-checked.

Kristen Welker of Meet the Press said of Trump on NBC 4 in DC, “He’s going to loom large over these midterms. There’s no doubt about that. He, of course, has endorsed a slate of candidates in the primaries. He’s had some mixed results, but most recently, his pick of Senator Darline Graham, of course, the sister of the late Senator Lindsey Graham, was successful in her primary battle, so now she takes on Dr. Annie Andrews in South Carolina.”

The results are not mixed. He endorsed 260 candidates who went on to win Republican primaries and only 9 losers. That’s a .967 batting average rounded off to 97%.

Shockingly Underreported News and Commentary for the Week of 23 August

This is the fourth post in the ongoing weekly feature that highlights news and commentary on important geopolitical, cultural, and economic issues that the Democrat-media complex buries because they expose the hypocrisies associated with the continuing Marxist-Democrat narrative. Everything is properly sourced and linked for follow-up reading, whether from legacy media, independent sources, or social media.

Highlights of the News with Don Surber

The mainstream media only reports what it wants you to think. For news that actually allows you to draw your own conclusions, you’ve come to the right place. The side of snark is complimentary.  

ITEM 1: Just the News reported, “Minneapolis police reportedly raided the apartment of Rep. Ilhan Omar’s son Tuesday night, seizing firearms and ammunition and arresting his 22-year-old roommate, Abdulrahman Abdi.”

Isn’t he also her nephew?

Hillbilly Elegance: Barbara Walters did Dolly Parton a big favor that people in the 21st century just don’t understand

Dolly Parton’s death brought out the best in people. The Royal Family posted a video of a royal band of some sort playing 9 to 5 in tribute. The tweet said, “Remembering the late, great Dolly, who brought joy, comfort and inspiration to so many—including the millions of children given free books through her Imagination Library. We will always ❤️ you.”

California’s Stop Nick Shirley Act Aims to Outlaw Fraud Investigations by the Press

"Stop Nick Shirley Act" Will Protect Foreign Nationals, NGOs Who Steal Tax Money

I don’t know many journalists who have been so effective at uncovering government fraud that lawmakers in one state are going to extraordinary lengths to pass a new law that would essentially criminalize investigative journalism and make it illegal to investigate fraud there. Then there’s Nick Shirley

The WNBA is different from the NBA in more ways than one

My good friend — OK, OK, I’ve never actually met him, but we follow each other on Twitter! — Dr Keeneland Dan got it just about right:

  • Enes Kanter did us a service by declaring for the 2027 WNBA draft, exposing the hypocrisy of the ‘transgender’ agenda; and
  • Having done that, Mr Kanter needs to stop acting like a clown
  • Males — I won’t call them men — need to stay out of women’s sports, restrooms, and locker rooms

The left seem determined to hold that the ‘transgendered’ are actually the sex they claim to be, rather than the sex biology has made them. They believe that men and women are absolutely equal, something which should be true under the law, but is clearly not the case when it comes to physical ability. Males are simply, as a general thing, bigger, taller, stronger, quicker, and faster than females; the concept of sexual dimorphism has been known for as long as humans were aware of sex, and it exists not only in humans, but virtually all animals. Males being larger and stronger than females occurs in most animal species, though the reverse is true in a few of them. But those who insist that men and women are absolutely equal simply cannot bear to acknowledge that: if men are bigger and stronger than women, then the left and the feminists worry that such implies that men are superior to women, and that simply cannot be accepted.

God Was Too Unbelievable, So We Gave Him a Spaceship

Somewhere along the way, America decided Genesis was too unbelievable—but extraterrestrials flying across the galaxy to genetically modify primitive hominids sounded perfectly reasonable. From Mark Passio’s theories to Ancient Aliens and today’s UAP obsession, an alternative creation story has quietly seeped into popular culture. We didn’t stop asking who created us; we just traded heaven for outer space, angels for aliens, and creation for a genetics lab in a spaceship. God was apparently too unbelievable—so we gave Him a spaceship.

Shockingly Underreported News and Commentary for the Week of 16 August

The Democrat-media complex have buried these

This is the third post in the ongoing weekly feature that highlights news and commentary on important geopolitical, cultural, and economic issues that the Democrat-media complex buries because they expose the hypocrisies associated with the continuing Marxist-Democrat narrative. Everything is properly sourced and linked for follow-up reading, whether from legacy media, independent sources, or social media.

Highlights of the Week with Don Surber

Don Surber escorts us through another week of the media’s treatment what it considers news. We need this reporting on the media or we’d never know what was actually going on. 

ITEM 1: The New York Times reported, “Harry and Meghan Will Move Back to Britain After 6 Years in U.S.”

Two more self-deportations for Trump (4 counting the kids).

The hands behind the presidential meat puppet.

The 25th Amendment is a pretty nifty constitutional tool because it answers the question of what would have happened if Jack Kennedy somehow survived Dallas.

The Constitution says: “Section Four: Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.

Being Older Means Being Lucky; And Maybe Even Legendary

I received the commentary below from the son of a WW II Marine who was killed in action on Iwo Jima and who was awarded a Purple Heart and Navy Cross posthumously. He and I exchange emails on topics of interest—most often related to the military, social issues, politics, and the state of our nation. We are both veterans who have grave concerns about the future of America.

Just a Gigolo: Once again a high-profile woman allegedly buys love with other people’s money

Last Wednesday, police in California arrested Heidi Beirich, formerly with the beleaguered Southern Poverty Law Center, on charges that she oversaw secret payments to informants inside of white supremacist groups—including payments to an informant who allegedly was her neo-Nazi boyfriend. Are you ready for the amount of SPLC donor dollars he received? (In Doctor Evil …
