Citizen Writers Fighting Censorship by Helping Americans Understand Issues Affecting the Republic.
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.
Don Surber gives us a tour of this week’s news items. He’ll make you think harder than the media outlets, that’s for sure. Enjoy!
For the first time in decades, Washington should be safe and clean enough to visit—just in time for the 250th celebration of independence.
The problem won’t end until that mindset, that worldview – the criminal element and the avaricious, unamerican motivations behind it – are purged from government entirely.
Mr. President, for more than three years, together with friends and colleagues in the organization Cyrus Force, we have argued that the crisis between Iran and the West cannot be solved permanently through military confrontation, temporary ceasefires, sanctions alone, or emotional political slogans.
Don Surber performs his aerial surveillance of the news this week. His findings, as always, will leave you better informed than if you had actually watch the mainstream media.
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.
History says it would take a miracle for Republicans to hold onto the House. Presidential parties lose seats in the House at midterms. There are a few exceptions. Backlash from the Lewinsky impeachment gained seats for Democrats and 4 years later, tough action on 9/11 earned Bush’s party extra seats.
American Indians in their winter camp at Wounded Knee, were murdered on Dec. 29, 1891, by federal agents and members of the 7th Cavalry who had come to confiscate their firearms “for their own safety and protection.”
Lies: People lie for two fundamental reasons: to protect themselves from something bad or to gain something good. That simple framework covers everything from a child’s first fib to a calculated fraud, but the full picture involves brain wiring, developmental milestones, personality traits, and social pressures that make deception a deeply human behavior. 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.
The Second Amendment guarantees the right to bear arms, but unfortunately not all those who bear arms today are responsible.
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.
