The ‘Unemployment Numbers’ Are Government Data – So Don’t Believe Them

There are many fundamental flaws in our current system.

One huge flaw? The data government provides.

It is always under the control of an elected administration – that would suffer un-election should too much of that data be negative.

So it is inherently in every administration’s interest? To fudge, obfuscate and reconfigure the data.

Trump Administration National Security and Foreign Policy Accomplishments: October 2025 – July 2026

President Trump remains focused on delivering his 2024 campaign promises with lightning speed. This is Part II of a two-part series that summarizes Trump administration accomplishments since October 2025. An article last November covered the accomplishments during the first nine months here.

Spectrum Policy Should Demonstrate: Gov and Biz Can Co-Exist Wisely and Well

A fortnight ago I highlighted an inter-businesses solution that was achieved nigh entirely without DC involvement.

The airline and cell phone industries sat down with each other and reached mutually beneficial solutions to problems that arise because they both utilize wireless spectrum.

Queens In Charge Of “No Kings” Invade Senior Center In WA, Chase Away Volunteers, Renters, Conservatives

The local crazies in this Purple County in the Dirty Blue State of Washington have been raging ever since Trump won in 2024, and they could not stand the fact that an outspoken Trump supporter was elected to the board of the Peninsula Senior Activity Center on the Long Beach Peninsula. A mob formed to get rid of her.

Bessent has a ‘SPINE OF STEEL’: Former national security adviser on ‘Economic Outcast’

Former National Security Adviser Robert O’Brien joins ‘Kudlow’ to discuss the European Union joining ‘Operation Economic Outcast’ to isolate Iran’s financial lifelines and freeze IRGC assets.

Highlights of the News with Don Surber

The mainstream media only reports what it wants you to think. For news that actually allows you to draw your own conclusions, you’ve come to the right place. The side of snark is complimentary.  

ITEM 1: Just the News reported, “Minneapolis police reportedly raided the apartment of Rep. Ilhan Omar’s son Tuesday night, seizing firearms and ammunition and arresting his 22-year-old roommate, Abdulrahman Abdi.”

Isn’t he also her nephew?

A Few Honest Thoughts About President Trump

I want to make something clear about my support for President Donald Trump. Supporting many of his policies does not mean I approve of his personality, every word that comes out of his mouth, or every person he chooses to place around him. I do not believe Christians are called to surrender their judgment to a political party, and I certainly do not believe we are supposed to turn any president into an object of devotion.

Trump Delays 50% Tariffs on Canadian Products

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.

Airlines and Wireless Solved Their Problem – Amongst Themselves. Not Fighting It Out in DC

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.

When Elections Lose Legitimacy

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.

Trump Shouldn’t Rush Iran Strategy: Rep. Issa

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.”

Just a Gigolo: Once again a high-profile woman allegedly buys love with other people’s money

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 …

Dear Trump & Kudlow: This Is Not ‘A Golden Age.’ Your Delusions Fuel the Rise of the Democrat Socialists (DSA)

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.

The Democrat’s Socialist Deceit; Believe What You See!

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!
