Citizen Writers Fighting Censorship by Helping Americans Understand Issues Affecting the Republic.
I have often heard the phrase: “Democrats hate our country.” Somehow, it always seemed a bit too imprecise and all-encompassing to condemn an entire political party for having such an unpatriotic conviction. After all, my parents and most of my family were Democrats, and I know they loved their country. I personally know other Democrats …
Angel Studios’ Young Washington will be released on July 3…. The film strips away the marble myth and reveals the raw, formative crucible that forged the man who would build a nation.
This single footnote could not and did not create a “constitutional right” to birthright citizenship for the children of illegal immigrants, a concept that was never intended by the 14th Amendment’s framers. The footnote has been rejected by constitutional scholars for decades.
The concept of communism, on paper, presents a vision of a just and equal society where everyone’s needs are met, and resources are shared. However, history has shown us that this idealistic ideology consistently fails in practice.
Hamilton continues his discourse on the nature of the Judiciary in Federalist 81. This paper addresses the very current issue of an activist Judiciary.
These two big government muscle movements encompassing the neutering or watering down of citizen’s rights reflected in the PATRIOT Act combined with the influx of DERF–color less money—represented too much of a lessening of the best practice government oversight functions which we are still paying for today in terms of the expansive growth of government post 9-11. Which continued relatively unabated until DOGE sliced some 250K or so government positions.
Today is National Eat Your Vegetables Day. Frankly I didn’t know there was such a day. And I don’t know why it exists. Or who invented it.
After the Democrat riots of 2020, many Liberals joined the race grifting industry because they expected it to expand significantly. In certain quarters, & in Blue States such as Oregon, it did expand. I am acquainted with one such newly minted “DEI consultant” who opened her business in Oregon in 2022.
The Baltimore Orioles’ Tupac bobblehead giveaway traded baseball’s rich tradition for a hollow marketing gimmick.
FBI thwarted explosive drone attack against Sunday’s UFC Freedom 250 event on the WH Lawn and have taken 5 suspects into custody. They are still investigating & expect to arrest a dozen more. The multi-phase terror attack allegedly involved using explosive-laden drone aircraft to strike buildings.
After Hamilton’s introduction to the Judiciary in Federalist 78, he digs a bit deeper into the subject here.
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.
Today we wrap up the process of appointments and the state of tension created by the Constitution between the Senate and the President.
Rep. Carlos Gimenez, R-Fla., joins ‘Mornings with Maria’ to discuss Cuba’s reported drone capabilities, concerns about foreign adversaries operating on the island and his outlook on the future of the Cuban regime.
The Framers decided the best way to choose Ambassadors, Justices and Ministers was for a single person to nominate and a larger group to approve.
What Congress is doing right now with its latest “fix” for college athletics begs for commentary. The recent hearings only confirmed what anyone paying attention already knows: Washington has no idea how college sports actually work and insists on marching in with another grand solution.
Federalist 75 deals with the President and his power to make treaties with other nations, subject to approval of two thirds of the Senate.
With the exception of impeachment, the Power to Pardon is absolute. Nixon’s resignation is what enabled Ford to pardon him.
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.
