Citizen Writers Fighting Censorship by Helping Americans Understand Issues Affecting the Republic.
The Trump administration delayed 50% tariffs on billions of dollars of Canadian products for three days, saying the two sides had reached a tentative agreement to resolve a broader trade dispute that had plunged relations to a fresh low. President Donald Trump announced the decision less than two hours before the tariffs were set to take effect. Bloomberg’s Derek Wallbank reports.
The head of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division announced Monday that she’s planning to deploy 1,000 federal monitors to polling places throughout the U.S. for the midterm elections. Jen Fifield, reporter for ProPublica, joins CBS News to discuss.
There are, conservatively, a trillion problems a day that arise in the United States. I would, as a conservative, like government involved in as few of them as possible.
But because government at all levels is so huge? It crowds out all the private spaces – and with them the perception that private solutions are possible.
The collapse of a republic rarely begins with tanks in the streets or dramatic constitutional crises. More often, it begins with a far quieter question: Can we trust our elections? Once citizens lose confidence in the process that grants political authority, every institution built upon that authority begins to crack. Courts become suspect, laws become negotiable, and political opponents become enemies. A nation can survive bitter policy disagreements. It cannot survive indefinitely if its citizens no longer believe their government derives its authority from legitimate elections.
Republican Congressman Darrell Issa of California reacts to President Trump’s threats against Oman, saying the President’s comments should be taken “in context.” Issa describes the confrontation with Iran as a 47-year problem and says Trump shouldn’t feel pressured to resolve it on a political timeline, arguing that appearing to be in a hurry would play into Iran’s hands. He also discusses conditions aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln as the USS George Washington makes its way to the region to relieve the carrier. He speaks with Kailey Leinz and Joe Mathieu on the late edition of Bloomberg’s “Balance of Power.”
Last Wednesday, police in California arrested Heidi Beirich, formerly with the beleaguered Southern Poverty Law Center, on charges that she oversaw secret payments to informants inside of white supremacist groups—including payments to an informant who allegedly was her neo-Nazi boyfriend. Are you ready for the amount of SPLC donor dollars he received? (In Doctor Evil …
Yesterday – on Sunday, because the Internet never rests? I received in my inbox an op-ed from Larry Kudlow.
For those of you who don’t know…:
“Lawrence Alan Kudlow is an American conservative broadcast news analyst, economist, columnist, journalist, political commentator, and radio personality. He is a financial news commentator for Fox Business and served as the director of the National Economic Council during the Trump administration from 2018 to 2021.”
I’ve met Larry. He is a very nice guy.
That said: Kudlow is a standard-issue Washington, DC center-right economy guy. He is exactly the type of Republican economist – that is killing the Republican Party.
Kudlow’s economic messaging – is the Republicans’ economic messaging. And it is more tone deaf than a year’s worth of nationwide karaoke contests.
Both parties have recent defeats to guide them in future elections. The question is will they.
Fools learn from experience. I prefer to learn from the experience of others.

Media outlets are telling us how the Democrat Socialists of America (DSA)Democrats are taking over the Democrat party. Wrong! What Americans are witnessing is another ruse. The Democrats are indeed progressives, as progressive is about making things happen in stages or gradually. And from the 1950’s forward, they have progressed from hiding their true intent while taking over our education systems, embedding deep state into our national security apparatuses, to now openly calling for the destruction of America. It is a progressive hostile takeover, subversion, and insurrection that is so unfathomable to most Americans, that they seek other explanations for what they see happening. No, it is time to believe what you see and realize in the never-ending battle between good and evil, that evil in fact does exist, and it is currently winning easily!
Smithsonian is obviously working to undermine US history & indoctrinate generations of young Americans with Marxist ideas at taxpayer expense. Americans’ hard-earned tax dollars are being weaponized to wage all-out war on American history, values, heritage, and greatness. WH is punching back.
On May 9, 2013, David Burge, a blogger best known for identifying old cars from family photos sent in by readers, told a truth about journalism that no others would dare: “Journalism is about covering important stories. With a pillow, until they stop moving.”
A ‘Kudlow’ panel discusses how President Donald Trump’s economic policies led to increased household income and lower inflation compared to the Biden administration.
Federal, state, and local authorities failed to keep an animal away from the public. Tampon Tim wanted to insure he stays as a threat.
For 75 years, America has been Europe’s security blanket. Maybe it’s time to fold it up. The Monroe Doctrine wasn’t about policing the entire planet—it was about protecting our own hemisphere first. NATO still matters. Article 5 still matters. But Europe’s wealthy democracies aren’t helpless children anymore. Build your armies. Fund your defense. Guard your own neighborhood. Uncle Sam can still be the backstop—but it’s time to stop treating him like an unlimited credit card with a standing military attached.
The culmination of the Left’s gender bending, death cult brainwashing was evident in last week’s assassination of Charlie Kirk, whose only “crime” was speaking freely about his Faith, Family and Country, and his only weapon, a microphone.
Secretary Rubio cancelled 83% of programs funded by OUR tax dollars via USAID in April 2025. He cancelled contracts worth TENS OF BILLIONS of dollars. By July 2025 USAID had ceased to exist as an independent agency. What was left of it was folded into the State Department.

For the ever-increasing percentage of the population too young to get the reference in the headline? It’s a gentle alteration of the opening to a very old Superman show. Yes, Youngsters, people used to watch pre-timed television. In black-and-white, even.
Americans see the recent the elections resulting in the purging of far left democrats with even more extreme democrat communists and radical Islamists, the continued murders by illegals and felons released on no cash bail, the flight from blue/democrat states by millionaires and billionaires from taxes to red/republican states, the war by insurrectionist elected officials and judges impeding application of our laws and elections to remove illegals, and the inflationary costs to live as separate and distinct.
They are not – these efforts are part of a well thought out strategy to ensure the subversion of our country via packing the voting roles with perpetually dependent illegals and/or their children, the destruction of our middle class, and the slow but intentional subversion of red (republican) states.
The US Department of State is launching a review of Mexico’s 53 consulates in the United States amid heightened scrutiny of their use by the Mexican government to meddle in US domestic politics and promote mass migration.
