Highlights of the Week with Don Surber

Don Surber walks us through this week’s media roundup with his uniquely sarcastic perspective. He’ll make you think; he’ll make you laugh; and he’s far better at cutting to the heart of the matter than the legacy media.

ITEM 1: I thought I found where Alissa Heinerscheid, former VP of Marketing for Bud Light, works now.

But Grok said she went to work for PGA rival LIV Golf, which is battling for survival in bankruptcy court.

Hey, DNC, have I got the right person for you.

China’s Cognitive War Against America – The Trump-Xi Summit

In just a few weeks after our nation remembers and mourns the loss of nearly 3000 souls murdered on 9-11, President Trump will be meeting with Xi Jinping. What is truly surreal about the summit and our continued engagement of China, is that the summit will occur while Xi is waging war on the United States of America.

AR Tactical: Can Your Rifle Even Reach 600 Yards?

Think you’re a rifleman? There’s only one way to find out. AR Tactical is one of the fastest-growing rifle sports in America, challenging everyday shooters to stretch their skills to 600 yards with practical rifles and real-world marksmanship. Along the way, even experienced competitors discover that old habits don’t always translate—and that’s part of the fun. The question is simple: Will your rifle even reach 600 yards?

Before You Mock the 6.5 Creedmoor, Learn What “Creedmoor” Means

The 6.5 Creedmoor has been around for 19 years, and apparently that still hasn’t been enough time for some gun enthusiasts to learn what the word Creedmoor actually means.

Before you utter “6.5 Man Bun” again, try Google.

EPA has been a ‘puppet for the left,’ former chief of staff says

Former EPA chief of staff Mandy Gunasekara discusses the termination of Biden-era climate rules by the EPA on ‘The Bottom Line.’

‘VERY GRAVE DANGER’: Newt Gingrich warns US must lead on artificial intelligence

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich discusses the role of artificial intelligence in national security, the GOP’s path forward on data centers, and key focuses ahead of the midterms on ‘Kudlow.’

Sure, You Can Keep the Rifle. We’ll Just Regulate Everything That Makes It Work.

“Shall not be infringed” apparently comes with an asterisk. Sure, you can keep the rifle—we’ll just regulate the powder, primers, ammunition, and everything else required to make it go bang. Maryland’s five-pound smokeless-powder limit raises a much bigger constitutional question: Can government regulate around the Second Amendment by controlling what makes an arm functional?

America’s Rifle: The 26 Million People You Didn’t See on the Evening News

The evening news shows you the criminal with an AR-15. It rarely shows you the millions of Americans who own one, go to work, raise families, shoot matches, hunt, protect their homes—and never hurt anybody. The 2026 National Firearms Survey estimates 26.4 million Americans own an AR-15 or similar semiautomatic rifle. At that point, perhaps we should stop pretending it’s some exotic fringe firearm and call it what it has become: America’s Rifle. Behind every blade of grass? Maybe not—but we’re certainly working on it. God bless America. Shall not be infringed.

America Is In A Slow Motion Suicide

America Is In A Slow Motion Suicide

There was a one-story building next to one of the towers that served as its lobby: “Plop, plop, plop” could be heard inside that lobby. Someone asked “what is that noise?” Answer: “People are jumping out the windows instead of being burned to death. They land on the roof, causing this noise.” 

The Hard Truth About 9/11: A sobering view from 25 years after.

President Bush at Ground Zero on 9/14/2001: “Thank you all. I want you all to know that America today is on bended knee in prayer for the people whose lives were lost here, for the workers who work here, for the families who mourn. This nation stands with the good people of New York City and New Jersey and Connecticut as we mourn the loss of thousands of our citizens.”

China’s Nuclear Arsenal Expansion Is a Direct Threat to the U.S.

China poses a continuing nuclear threat to the U.S. through a relentless effort to modernize and expand its nuclear arsenal and delivery capabilities.

The PLA is executing the fastest and largest peacetime nuclear buildup in history, moving from a “minimum deterrence” force of roughly 200 warheads a decade ago toward a force that multiple U.S. officials now project could approach numerical parity with the United States and Russia within four to five years. This is a direct military threat: more silos, more delivery platforms, new low-yield and tactical designs, and — per credible but contested reporting — a resumed covert testing program.
