Citizen Writers Fighting Censorship by Helping Americans Understand Issues Affecting the Republic.
I begin today’s newsletter by reminding readers that Asian rhinoceroses live mainly in swamps. All rhinos need water and mud wallows for cooling, skin protection, and parasite control, so they often stay near rivers, lakes, or wet areas even in drier habitats. Asian species have adapted more to forested and wetland environments, while African ones lean toward open plains.
T.S. Eliot wrote, “April is the cruelest month, breeding lilacs out of the dead land, mixing memory and desire, stirring dull roots with spring rain.” It must suck to be a manic depressant.
White House deputy chief of staff for policy Stephen Miller criticizes Democrats for their ‘performative anti-ICE stunts’ and repeated ‘lawlessness’ in protests outside N.J. ICE facilities on ‘Hannity.’
America has become a 24-hour cortisol factory—financial panic, political theater, algorithmic outrage, and endless crisis propaganda pumped straight into the nervous system like an IV drip of anxiety. We are chemically exhausted, spiritually distracted, and psychologically manipulated into living as though Satan runs the universe and God is merely filing paperwork in the background. Fear has become America’s unofficial state religion: fear of collapse, fear of irrelevance, fear of war, fear of each other. But fear is just misplaced faith. It is confidence that darkness will win. The modern machine profits from keeping people terrified because frightened populations are easier to control, easier to sell to, and easier to herd. Scripture’s command to “fear not” was never naive optimism—it was spiritual defiance. The real divide today is not left versus right; it is those discipled by fear versus those anchored in faith.
Fox News contributor Joe Concha reacts to Democrats, including Rep. Ro Khanna and former Vice President Kamala Harris, reviving calls to expand the Supreme Court on ‘Fox News Live.’
Some people will make more money than others. It’s not racism, sexism, or any other ism. And nothing will change that.
Trump flew to China promising to put the dragon on a leash and came home carrying a bag of soybean promises, university tuition receipts, and little else. Beijing gave up no meaningful ground on farmland, Taiwan, or strategic competition, while Trump softened on Chinese land purchases and signaled support for large numbers of Chinese students studying in the United States. Xi Jinping kept the leverage, protected his core interests, and let Washington celebrate another stack of nonbinding agreements. The dragon did not blink. It smiled, bowed politely, and sent America home with a participation trophy.
Memorial Day compels Americans to confront a word we avoid: debt. Not the financial kind that Congress pretends will magically resolve itself, but the older, heavier meaning — the kind carved into headstones at Arlington and cemeteries across the country. It is the debt paid in full by those who gave their lives, so the …
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.
Historian Steve Putney ponders what China’s President Xi meant when he asked President Trump “are we going to avoid the Thucydides Trap?” It describes a severe structural stress that occurs when a rising power threatens to displace a ruling power.
America, we need to remember how to disagree without hating one another. When I was growing up, many of my neighbors and friends were Democrats. My family was conservative and Republican. We disagreed. Sometimes we argued politics at the dinner table. But when the weekend came, we still went swimming together, canoeing together, watching movies together, eating together, and living as neighbors. Political disagreement did not require hatred. It did not require destroying friendships. It did not require treating half the country as enemies.
“Vote for the Nazi: It’s important” isn’t a sane campaign slogan.
Because Republicans freed the slave, because Republicans continued, long after the Civil War, promoting civil rights for blacks and because Democrats continued to suppress blacks, all black voters & politicians were Republicans. Then, Democrats created Jim Crow laws to oppress black Americans.
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.
Modern political pundits prefer the term “retribution” when the attack dog is at leash wielded by their political enemies, with both sides of the political coin alternatively convinced of their tale of victory or woe, employing the tried and true-but trite-phrase that “nobody is above the law.” Often employed akin to the last bastion of the scoundrel, “Patriotism.”
The polygraph (lie detector) test does not determine truth – it reveals what one believes to be the truth. Even when confronted with conclusive evidence, eyewitnesses ofttimes believe what they’ve subconsciously convinced themselves to believe. Test-takers can pass this truth/belief test if they truly believe – not merely wish, deem or imagine – what they claim is the truth. In other words, if a person believes that two plus two equals five, a polygraph test will confirm they are being truthful.
Former White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer joins ‘America Reports’ to analyze the political and economic hurdles of the Iran war as gas prices continue to rise. He emphasizes the need to ‘finish the job.’
I would agree with Senator Bernie Sanders on one thing – we must oppose the oligarchy! But what, or who, exactly is that? And does Bernie even know what he is talking about?
Let us start by defining an oligarchy – which is a small elite group, usually very well-off (wealthy), who use their positions to serve themselves (note – not serve the people)…This is not politics; the democrat oligarchy is undertaking a Blood Revolution to subvert and destroy America. That is why AOC said she is not interested in titles, her goal is to change the country. Believe her, Bernie, Mamdani and other democrat oligarch, as they all want to change our country forever.
The Second Amendment guarantees the right to bear arms, but unfortunately not all those who bear arms today are responsible.
Out of the darkness and into the light is a metaphorical phrase that means moving from despair, sadness, or negativity to a state of happiness, peace and positivity. It often describes a personal journey of overcoming challenges and finding renewal.
