Citizen Writers Fighting Censorship by Helping Americans Understand Issues Affecting the Republic.
Here’s a question for you: Can a nation so bitterly divided reunite and enjoy its 250th birthday this July 4th? Is patriotism in America dead—a quaint relic of another time when Americans (both Democrat and Republican) were proud of their country?
From Don Surber’s photo selection to his roundup of this week’s news items, delivered in his one-of-a-kind style, you’ll find plenty to inform and entertain. Enjoy!
The Obamas opened his presidential center (not library because that would require reading) on Thursday.
The duo gave speeches, which were really lectures. Mister Obama drones less than Al Gore but he is just as sophomoric in his mannerism and sophist in his reasoning. Both men received Nobel Peace Prizes. Two decades after Gore’s, the inconvenient truth is he lied to make money and remain relevant.
The president is the boss because he acts like one.
Any American president should be the boss. The reserve currency throughout the world is the U.S. dollar. The European Union’s attempt to supplant it with the euro has failed. While its share of global reserves is an impressive 20%, the United States is the lion and the lion’s share is three times that of the Europoors.
Erika Kirk tweeted, “The Left wants the White House to feel like an untouchable institution reserved for political elites. They hate seeing it used for events that remind Americans it belongs to them.
Move over, Marilyn Monroe. Your happy birthday to President Kennedy is nothing compared to Trump ringing in his 80th with a UFC bout, the Marine Corps Band and a flyover by the Thunderbirds and Blue Angels over the mall with its restored reflecting pool that no longer suffers the aftermath of the Kenyan Klown’s benighted presidency.
Also on Sunday, Iran’s third-string regime waved the white flag and gave up.
At the height of the Depression that Democrats call Great because it gave them power for 50 years, Yip Harburg wrote the lyrics to the song Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?
My good friend Jeffery¹, whether under that name, or his subsequently adopted screen names of Jethro Bodine or, currently, Elwood P Dowd, on William Teach’s fine site, The Pirate’s Cove, once made a claim, “The truth has a liberal bias,” sometimes expressed as “The facts have a liberal bias,” something I have seen elsewhere. It …
Ya got trouble right here in college football. Trouble with a Capital T that rhymes with B and stands for Brendan Sorsby.
Or so the NCAA would have you believe.
Sorsby is a vagabond college football quarterback who just signed to play for Texas Tech, his third team. The school will pay him $5 million.
But Sorsby bet $90,000 on college football games, which of course is against the NCAA rules. The team sought an injunction in its home county (Lubbock) against enforcing the rule. The local judge recused himself and Tarrant County Judge Ken Curry popped out of retirement to grant the injunction until the case is argued after the season ends.
As the Saga of Oystergruppenfuhrer Graham Platner continues in Maine, the focus turns to the vetting process used by the Democrat Central Committee included a panel of experts with white-tipped canes. The verdict is in: They would run a Nazi just to get a Senate seat.
Democrats have given a pass to unfit candidates for decades.
The big winner was America. Eric Daugherty tweeted with video, “WOW! Madison Square Garden ERUPTS in USA! USA! USA! chants with President Trump in attendance.
“The arena is still FILLED WITH PATRIOTS even though leftists booed him.”
Nice to hear USA! USA! USA! replace FJB.
The Democrat Party and their legacy media allies are framing the 2026 midterms as a referendum on President Trump and Republican governance in Congress, leveraging historical midterm dynamics where the president’s party often loses seats. Democratic leaders (e.g., Rep. Suzan DelBene, D-Wash, the Democrat Congressional Campaign Committee chairman) explicitly call for making it a referendum on “Trump’s one big beautiful bill and agenda.” Their messaging focuses on affordability, health care costs, farm/economic impacts from policies, and immigration enforcement effects in key districts. They are targeting ostensibly vulnerable GOP seats in Trump-won areas, expanding maps and emphasizing “MAGA extremism” or unfulfilled promises.
Don Surber’s take on this week’s news items are more informative than the actual news items. Enjoy!
The Washington Post, one of our nation’s truly great newspapers, a national newspaper of record as far as the Federal Government is concerned, and the exposers of the Watergate coverup, has once again struck bigly with a major, major, yuge scoop. Another Pulitzer Prize is almost certainly headed their way. The hair-loss drug Trump took …
NYT & WP increased their use of “white supremacy” between 2010 & 2019. Chart illustrates the sharp increase in the usage of “white supremacy” by both publications during that decade, showing a 4,196% increase in NYT & a 5,931% increase in WP: Increased DRAMATICALLY when Trump was elected.
A new Department of Labor report on men found that the American labor force is missing about 7 million men who would otherwise be working. This means close to one-third of all men of working age are not included in the labor force.
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.
In the 1960s, I was the boy who was embarrassed about growing up without a father in small-town Mt Sterling, Kentucky. Divorce was far less common at the time, and all of the kids I knew in Mt Sterling Elementary School had fathers, or at least the ones about whom I knew anything about their …
Fox News chief political analyst Brit Hume assesses the firing of CBS anchor Scott Pelley on ‘Special Report.’
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.
