Our modern beliefs suppose that the third branch of government has unlimited authority to make pronouncements. But that is not the case nor was it the intent of the Founding Fathers.
NSA Director GEN Keith Alexander’s philosophy increasingly based on the belief that you “can’t analyze data you do not have,” which led to a massive NSA Data Center project in Utah some 5 or so years later code named Bumblehive that enabled massive storage capability on a scale never approached before that only increased the already somewhat paranoid and conspiracy focused public to think the worst: many of whom would be proven right.
Since January 2025 the Liberal members of this club have become increasingly nasty. To curb this behavior, the new office manager recently started sending out “codes of conduct” messages with each weekly email Blast such as: “Please be Kind,” “Be Respectful,” and “Be Helpful.”
So many stories are in the news, covering so many completely different issues, from transportation to shopping, from sports to taxation. Might they have anything in common?
Don Surber takes us through another week of the summer doldrums of news cycles. He’ll make you laugh, think and understand the media better than the institution knows itself. Enjoy!
Diane discusses her 2018 interviews with two reporters, one with the Portland Tribune and the other with the Oregonian, the biggest newspaper in the state. They assumed, though they had never met her, that she was a “white supremacist.”
This lesson is not written to tell anyone how to vote.
It is written to remind Christians that our first loyalty is not to a political party, a social movement, a news network, a favorite politician, or a cultural tribe.
Congressman Brandon Gill does not look like a Texan. At 32, he looks like an investment banker and hedge fund analyst from the Ivy League, which he was until he ran for Congress in 2024 with the blessing of President Trump to succeed a retiring Republican.
But boy can the young man in the black suit grill.
A constitutional republic depends not only on honest elections, but on public confidence that elections are honest. When that trust disappears, every law, every court decision, and every elected official begins to lose legitimacy. The greatest threat to America’s future may not be violence or foreign enemies, but the slow erosion of faith in the electoral process itself. Without legal, transparent, and trustworthy elections, there can be no democracy—and no republic worth preserving.
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 emailer was irate. “When are you finally going to address the lies being told RIGHT NOW to the American people?” the emailer wrote. “You are A COWARD!”
The Dems have indicated they wish to increase the number of SCOTUS justices if they win mid-term congressional majority. The Constitution does not specify the number of justices, nor does it explicitly forbid or permit additional or fewer Justices (historically there have been 6,7,9 even 10).
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.
Joe Biden was in Sioux Falls on Friday; he spoke at the South Dakota Democrat Party State Convention. South Dakota media have been competing with each other in producing puff-pieces about his appearance. That’s nothing new because what passes for “major media” in this state are reflexively pro-Democrat despite the fact that 52% of the registered voters in South Dakota are Republicans (a paltry 22% are registered Democrats with the rest independents, third parties, or “no party affiliation”). No wonder their readership/subscriptions have been in the tank for years!
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.
The government’s bureaucracy is being trimmed and reformed. Bureaucrats who’ve abused their position are being terminated. And state officials are getting a refresher on federalism. Yes, I voted for that. Hopefully this continues on past January 2029.
Fox News contributor Ben Domenech discusses President Donald Trump’s approach to the Iran conflict and the Los Angeles mayoral election on ‘Kudlow.’
The world has spent decades arguing that nuclear weapons preserve peace through deterrence. Fair enough. But if they are essential for our security, on what basis do we claim they are unnecessary for someone else’s? That’s the uncomfortable question at the heart of the Iran debate. The world’s nuclear powers insist these weapons are too dangerous for others while simultaneously declaring them indispensable for themselves. Whether that position is wise, necessary, or pure hypocrisy depends entirely on which side of the missile silo you’re standing.
We The People will never know all the harm the SPLC has done to the fabric of our society, to relations between Americans, to charities & organizations nor to individuals. We do know the harm SPLC has caused has been massive, pervasive and will linger for decades, just as Democrats want.
