Citizen Writers Fighting Censorship by Helping Americans Understand Issues Affecting the Republic.
Like most major cities the Atlanta police department can access about 25,000 cameras, 20,000 of which come from the private sector. Couple that with eyeball, facial, voice, DNA, license plate readers, contraband-sniffing dogs/robots, drones, cell phone pings, airport scanners and all the stuff they know about you via the internet/social media … and you ain’t got no secrets.
President Donald Trump takes questions on Operation Epic Fury and discusses the birthright citizenship issue in the United States.
At first glance, Forward Operating Bases (FOBs) in Afghanistan and American Indian reservations in the United States appear to have little in common. One is a temporary military installation in a foreign war zone; the other is a legally defined homeland for Indians within the United States. Yet when examined through the lenses of geography, governance, control, and purpose, certain parallels emerge. Both systems created spaces of isolation, imposed forms of authority from outside the community, and produced unique social and economic environments shaped by those conditions. At the same time, important differences in purpose, sovereignty, and permanence distinguish the two. For my purposes, I will not yet discuss how the Flathead Indian Reservation is shared with other Montana residents.
The New York Giants upset the Dallas Cowboys in an NFL game in 2007. The next day, someone took a clip from the German movie Der Untergang—in English, Downfall—and used it to create a mockery that is an Internet legend that has been copied to cover many a similar, if inconsequential, devastating loss.
There was a time—not long ago—when the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force operated like a disciplined sentry: alert, capable, and formidable, but fundamentally reactive. Their destroyers were built to defend sea lanes, hunt submarines, and intercept incoming threats, not to reach deep into an adversary’s homeland. That posture wasn’t an accident. It was the product of history, law, and a deliberate national choice to remain a shield in a dangerous neighborhood. But shields, as it turns out, are only comforting until someone realizes they don’t have to stand in front of them.
The ‘Outnumbered’ panel discusses the surge in teen ‘takeovers’ turning chaotic in cities nationwide, often organized on social media.
I thought I had seen the last of traitorous Americans cursing our soldiers or calling for them to be killed when the last American combat troops were pulled out of Vietnam following the 1973 Paris Peace Treaty. After the disgusting display by anti-American, pro-Iran thugs in Philadelphia and the perfidious “No Kings” protestors last weekend, it appears I was wrong.
Coffee is ready. Pour said coffee. Check my phone. Look at emails. The first subject line attracts my attention. “YOU ARE NOT A TRUE AMERICAN IF YOU DON’T READ THIS!!!”
I want to be a true American, but for the next few minutes I’ll have to settle for being a fallacious one. Namely, because it’s a little early to be reading anything in all caps.
Diane discusses her heartbreak over Joe Kent turning from a patriot to a Liberal, likely due to the influence of his second wife who hates President Trump. Steve is frustrated with the way that Republicans in the Senate allow the Democrats to pull them around by their noses.
Gen. Joseph Votel discusses how Operation Epic Fury aims to systematically destroy Iran’s war-making capabilities on ‘America Reports.’
Büdingen, Germany, late ’90s. The barracks were “historic,” which was Army-speak for old, fragile, and nobody wants to pay to fix it. The plumbing was past its expiration date—backups, leaks, that constant low-grade stench that never quite left your clothes. And that’s where we put our enlisted soldiers. The pitch from leadership bordered on parody: “You’re living in a historic building—Adolf Hitler once gave a speech here. See the photo!” That didn’t land. Not even close.
Newspapers do not usually out-and-out lie to us, but sometimes you have to look beyond what they tell you, to see what they don’t. We have pointed out, several times, that it is illegal to work in the United States unless you are a citizen or have the appropriate legal documents. In the last linked …
Pakistani ambassador to the U.S. Rizwan Saeed Sheikh discusses efforts to help broker potential U.S.-Iran peace talks and the broader impact of the conflict on the region on ‘Special Report.’
Restoring trust in U.S. elections requires passing the SAVE Act, which mandates citizenship verification and voter ID, because election integrity is essential to American democracy.
The New York Times’s latest attempt to unite the nation against President Trump—and everyone else who wants to Make America Great Again—consisted of tying CPAC’s convention this weekend to the No Kings protests across the world. I must admit that the Times staff was dogged in its effort. Reporters showed a lot of pluck but per usual, the result showed it was another luckless Acme product in fresh packaging.
There’s always good news for Bible-based Evangelicals in the Good News of Lord Jesus Christ. His Resurrection is celebrated every Sunday. And, there’s good news in numbers, despite the gloom and doom data painting a Post-Christian America and death spiral for Western Civilization. Bible-based Evangelical Protestants are growing – not as much as non-Believers and way less than possible, but growing. Growing is good.
Tousi TV founder Mahyar Tousi discusses the Trump administration’s actions in Iran and the Iranian’s people’s expectations on ‘America Reports.’
We crossed the Indiana state line at noon. It was sunny. Cloudless. The springtime air was dry and pleasant, smelling of apples, IndyCar, and Hoosiers.
Bobby Pulido, who is running for Texas’ 15th congressional district, calls himself a “winter Texan” because he lives in Mexico most of the year. Pulido’s wife lives in Mexico along with children from previous marriages. He owns a house in Mexico.
