China’s Nuclear Arsenal Expansion Is a Direct Threat to the U.S.

China poses a continuing nuclear threat to the U.S. through a relentless effort to modernize and expand its nuclear arsenal and delivery capabilities.

The PLA is executing the fastest and largest peacetime nuclear buildup in history, moving from a “minimum deterrence” force of roughly 200 warheads a decade ago toward a force that multiple U.S. officials now project could approach numerical parity with the United States and Russia within four to five years. This is a direct military threat: more silos, more delivery platforms, new low-yield and tactical designs, and — per credible but contested reporting — a resumed covert testing program.

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.

Donald ‘Jed Clampett’ Trump: The world runs on oil. The USA is getting back to controlling the world’s oil.

Red China is hurting for certain. The world’s largest oil importer lost oil from Iran and Venezuela, which supplied 15% of the oil it bought last year.

Under Trump, the USA is a net exporter of oil. That should be the case for decades to come because thanks to President Trump and Chief Warrant Officer Five Eric A. Slover, America now controls 65 billion barrels of oil in Venezuela. Slover is the helicopter pilot who took a licking of bullets but kept on ticking as the military extracted Maduro on January 3, earning a Medal of Honor.

CARTEL CRACKDOWN: DEA, SOUTHCOM push to dismantle Ecuadorian drug networks

State Department spokesperson Tommy Pigott discusses rescue efforts following flooding near the China-Nepal border, President Donald Trump’s oil deal with Venezuela and the Trump administration’s crackdown on cartels on ‘The Big Weekend Show.’

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?

The WHO Does Red China’s Bidding: How the CCP corrupted the WHO

The World Health Organization serves as the directing and coordinating authority on international health work. According to its organizing principles, it connects 194 member states, partners, and people to promote health, keep the world safe, and serve the vulnerable populations. U.S. voluntary funding given to the WHO has dwarfed China’s contributions, yet China exercises out-sized influence on the WHO.

Chaos at the Gates August 21, 2026: Five Years After The Collapse Of Afghanistan

Five years ago, the world watched one of the most devastating foreign policy failures in modern American history unfold in real time. The fall of Kabul in August 2021 was not merely the end of America’s longest war. It was a collapse of credibility, an abandonment of allies, and the start of a dangerous new era in global geopolitics.

Weather the Storm

This past week our little town got hit by a storm cell that was tornado-like in all but name and dark funnel. It was our hardest hit since the storm of the century, Hurricane Isabel, in 2003. This one was all wind, not water. Living on the shore of the Chesapeake Bay we’re used to getting both. A no name Nor-easter will flood with inches of past records. We weather them all. We weather whatever the storm.

The storms of nature and man will always confront us.

The Night Two Networks Decided You Did Not Need to See This Declassified Data Dump! July 16th, Part 2

On the evening of July 16, 2026, the President of the United States addressed the nation from the White House and announced the immediate declassification of intelligence covering five areas of American election security. NBC declined to carry it live. ABC declined to carry it live. NBC News NOW ran it on a streaming channel and promised a special report afterward, which is the television equivalent of telling your wife you will get to the garage this weekend.

Part 1 of this series covered the Tranche One and Two. We pick it up here in Part 2 at Tranche Three.
