Citizen Writers Fighting Censorship by Helping Americans Understand Issues Affecting the Republic.
I am not optimistic about today’s independent media. Most of its practitioners are untrained amateurs who lack the basic reportorial skills to gather accurate, fair, and balanced information.
Don Surber presents his unique take on this week’s media reports. As usual, you’ll learn more from his offbeat perspective than actually reading or watch the news.
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 …
He has the oil, the military and the corporate wizards on his side
Landing in Beijing with his secretary of state, his treasury secretary and the No. 1 executives of the top 30 corporations in America, President Trump received the royal treatment.
I don’t know much about the rock group 10,000 Maniacs other than when Natalie Merchant was its lead singer, the group’s cover of Because the Night reached No. 11 on the charts.
The group’s name popped up when I read the Politico story, “10,000 rulings: The courts’ overwhelming rebuke of Trump’s ICE policies.”
Writing about race and the rapidly shifting racial complexion and composition of America is a dangerous exercise. No matter how you discuss it or describe it, if you are white, you are almost certain to be called a racist by easily triggered leftists who prefer that you keep silent
The latest battlefront in the Democrat War Against Sanity is the Reflecting Pool on the National Mall.
Barack Obama renovated it in 2012 and left a big mess when he left office because instead of using city water treated with chlorine, he brought in brackish water from the Tidal Basin and treated it with a product called Ozone.
Our good friends on the left, who have been so supportive of the Fourteenth Amendment’s provision that “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside” must grant automatic citizenship to the “anchor babies” of people …
The Gerrymander Wars of 2026 are almost at an end. Between the federal Supreme Court finally noticing that hey, minority-majority districts are kind of racist, and the Virginia Supreme Court upholding the rules for amending the state constitution, Trump pretty much handed Democrats their bums.
And voters are primarying RINOs for him.
Not known for excellence, recent examples of incompetence are an embarrassment even by the media’s low standards.
This week marked the sixth anniversary of the fascist governments of the world—the United States included—shutting down the world over a virus. The Public Health Obergruppenführers said follow the science and then ordered us to social distance and where cloth masks, neither of course were ever studied.
The news is full of entertainment, if you know how to read it. Don Surber guides us through this week’s presentations from the media, an institution seemingly incapable of unbiased reporting.
January 1st, 2000 was a strange day for me. After more than a decade operating the photography studio I had built from scratch, I woke up that day unemployed for the first time in my life. I was doing my best to seek God’s direction for the Christian newspaper He’d called me to start. I had some ideas, and having worked for a weekly County newspaper about 14 years prior, and having seen multiple Christian newspapers from other states, I had some knowledge of how to do it.
That’s not a typographical error in the headline! The spelling ‘journolist’ or ‘journolism’ comes from JournoList, an email list of 400 influential and politically liberal journalists, the exposure of which called into question their objectivity. I use the term ‘journolism’ frequently when writing about media bias. Though I spent two years writing for the Kentucky …
We live in turbulent times, very dangerous times. We live in a time where treason, excess, incompetence, and corruption are everywhere. The exposure of a political party’s treason and malfeasance has diminished their power, and they are fighting back with every known trick in their kit, including disinformation and a corrupt media, in an attempt to regain public support and undermine the credibility of their opponents.
MAGA Disposed of Stephen Colbert—with help of course from podcasts, Twitter and reruns of Friends, Seinfeld, The Big Bang Theory, and Modern Family because if you are looking for late-night humor, you will not find it on the broadcast networks.
Two states held primary elections on Tuesday.
NPR framed it as “Ohio and Indiana election results test Republican loyalty to Trump, Democrat enthusiasm.”
Contrary to media claims, there is no such thing as the Electoral College. Article II, Section One of the Constitution: “Each state shall appoint…electors”. Electors are chosen by political parties, usually at state party conventions, or by the party’s central committee. They are not elected by voters, per se.
There will never be another Rush Limbaugh and yet conservatives search for one because we have hope and optimism. We said there would never be another Ronald Reagan but then along came Donald Trump. One of the things he did was get fake conservatives—Bill Kristol, Jonah Goldberg, George Wills and the entire cast at National Review—to self-deport.
I have never believed the leftist maxim that insists diversity is “our strength.” Instead, I see it as divisive, with our nation being split into cultural, ethnic, racial, religious, and political tribes who are essentially at war with one another.
