Don Surber’s Weekly Highlights
Don Surber is back, with his very own special take on last week’s events.
Trump Administration
Trump Met The Moment: “You People Are Crazy”
Steve liked the fact that foreign investments exceeded $18 Trillion in his first year. Contrast that to Biden’s FOUR years: $1 Trillion. George was impressed with the fact that AI centers will be producing their own electricity instead of increasing homeowners’ electricity rates. Diane liked Trump’s remarks about CDLs and illegals.
An Introduction to Business 101: Golf with THE Chuck -A Tribute to Enduring American Grit February 20 – February 22, 2026
Some weekends feel bigger than sports. Some feel bigger than policy. And then there are weekends like this one where leadership, competition, conviction, and country all collide. I was working on this piece with a Deployment Freedom Cigar lit, paired with a very special small-batch pour of MB Roland Dark Fired Kentucky bourbon. Smoke steady. …
Highlights of the Trump; The State of the Union is in its best since Reagan retired.
President Donald John Trump took over a nation from a feeble old man 13 months ago—a nation overrun by invaders, mocked on the world stage after surrendering Afghanistan and suffering an economic malaise not seen since Jimmy Carter roamed the Oval Office.
The Squirrel Circus Is Back In Town And Trump’s Inner Circle Needs To Focus Business Like A Laser On The Top Ten or-Hell-Pick 20. Losing Focus On The Mid-Terms Amongst The Bruhahas And Hub Bub And Mayhem???
The government led propaganda campaign that was supported and undertaken by the entirety of the LSMBTGA is well described in these articles that cover Joe Rogan’s interviews of Mike Benz and Mark Andreesen. The chilling truth of this matter is these actions were taken by our elected officials and inflicted on us-we the people-in order to undermine the will of the people in supposed free and fair elections.
Promises, Pivots, and Surveillance: How Trump Went From FISA Foe to FISA Friend
Campaign Trump told voters the surveillance state was dangerous and abused. Governing Trump is preserving the surveillance state with adjustments. Campaign Trump framed FISA as existential corruption. Governing Trump treats it as infrastructure in need of maintenance.
Globalism is a Leftist Scheme
For the past 30 years, the conversation about globalism has taken hold, often forcing it into the mainstream narrative. It has been sold as an answer to the world’s problems. But what is the reality?
The Texas Republican Party Reset
The Texas Republican party, like the national party, is run by Republicans In Name Only (RINOs). The Lone Star State is giving us hope of knocking some out.
Starmer wants to kneecap our Department of War; Giving Diego Garcia to a nation 1,300 miles away is not how an ally treats us.
500 years ago—514 to be exact—Pedro Mascarenhas, a Portuguese explorer looking for a better route to India and China, encountered a long and narrow uninhabited island in the Indian Ocean. He named it Dom Garcia in honor of the man who financed the exploration. That was in 1512. The island was re-discovered in 1544 by …
The Ironic Curtain; Europeans who lived under communism hate it. Those spared pursue it.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s speech at the Munich Security Conference shook up the European leadership by reminding them of the dangers of communism. He did this because his grandpa, Pedro Víctor García, a refugee from Castro’s Cuba, taught him well about the dangers of communism.
Don Surber’s Weekly Highlights
Another full week of Trump achievements, press bemoaning them and world leaders (I mean you Iran) just not getting it.
How the Republicans Lose the 2026 Midterms
President Trump’s Republican Administration and Republicans in both Houses of Congress can work together to lose their majority. All they have to do is keep doing and not doing what they are now.
Macron versus Trumpzilla; We are experiencing a real life Bambi Versus Godzilla drama
This situation reminds me of the legendary short film Bambi Versus Godzilla.Bambi is seen ruminating in the forest. Godzilla steps on him. The end.
The woman globalists fear most
The real big news on Sunday was the election in Japan. PM Sanae Takaichi is working at the speed of Trump. Right after she took office, she called for a snap election, which was held 110 days into her term.
When the State Fails, Responsibility Remains
When Joe Biden tells Americans to “buy a shotgun” and fire warning blasts into the air to scare off intruders, that’s not folksy wisdom—it’s reckless, illegal advice in most jurisdictions. It’s the kind of thing that gets people arrested, injured, or killed. It reveals a worldview where firearms are props in a story, not tools that demand discipline, training, and accountability.
Don Surber’s Weekly Highlights
Once again, Don Surber is back with his very own brand of ribald humor, recaping the events of the past week and lampooning the usual characters.
The Insurrection in Minnesota; What Have We Learned? by George Mcclellan
Plato, the Athenian Greek philosopher (c. 427–347 BC), innovator of dialectic and written dialogue in philosophy warned us: “The price good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men.”
Results matter; Deportations push Trump up 7 points in the last month.
President Trump will never in his lifetime be first in the hearts of his countrymen because half will die a Never Trumper. The sense of entitlement among those who pretend they are powerful debilitates them. His enemies are proof that envy and vanity are cardinal sins because envy and vanity harm men.
An Introduction to Business 101: Golf with THE Chuck; A Tribute to Enduring American Grit January 30 – February 1, 2026
Dedicated to people who understand that leadership, markets, marriage, and golf all share one brutal truth: performance gets exposed when expectations meet reality.
Antifa, a wholly owned subsidiary of a billionaire; Bernie Sanders in 2019: “Billionaires should not exist.”
In 2019, Bernie Sanders said, “Billionaires should not exist.” Last year, he said, “We have a government of billionaires, by billionaires, and for billionaires.”
