Citizen Writers Fighting Censorship by Helping Americans Understand Issues Affecting the Republic.
The panic about Social Security running out of money is all blue smoke and mirrors done with the goal of giving Congress more control of the American economy. We have seen how well Congress handles money. For every $2 we give in taxes, Congress spends $3.

At this writing, just over six months into President Trump’s second term, he has nominated 357 people to these roles, and only 107 have been confirmed, meaning that about 250 appointees are still awaiting Senate action.
There Is MUCH More to Do Don’t ask anyone MAGA that question. They very quickly get VERY angry. But, of course, it does make the national debt look even bigger. Mostly because it will be. As US Trump voters not under a spell in fact know. Well, the BBB is law (BBL?). Now comes the …
To Republican Senators and Congresspersons: You are NOT an Ohio/California/Texas…Senator/Congressperson, you are a United States Senator/Congressperson who happens to be from Ohio/California/Texas
DC world focuses like a 2-year-old on the sudden acknowledgement of Biden’s dementia and his begrudging admission that he has prostate cancer that morphed into bone cancer. He likely won’t last until Labor Day.
“Constituent service encompasses a wide array of non-legislative activities undertaken by Members of Congress or congressional staff, and it is commonly considered a representational responsibility.
Money talks. While congressmen whine about billionaires taking over DC, the fact is the 535 voting members of Congress spend like trillionaires.
We the Constituents have spent the last several decades staring bewilderedly at Washington. Wondering over and over again why what happens there – happens.
Over and over again we the people are whipped into panic as we are told that grandma will starve if a budget amendment isn’t passed to buy her another day.
The federal government is required by law to engage in a budget process. Which means twelve appropriations bills – written and debated, passed and signed into law. Each and every Congress.
Axios: “The 118th Congress is on track to be one of the most unproductive in modern history, with just a couple dozen laws on the books at the close of 2023, according to data from data analytics firm Quorum.”
For three weeks, the House of Representatives has been in uncharted territory. Now we have newly installed Speaker, Mike Johnson, a new pitcher on a very old mound.
I called my congress critter, Julia Letlow’s, office today to find out if she was supporting McCarthy and his bid to pass another CR without making any needed changes, or if she was supporting Matt Gaetz and the congressmen fighting for fiscal sanity. Know what the receptionist said? She hadn’t had a chance to talk …
Our very own government’s hilarious attempt at following the US Constitution is like watching a circus act gone wrong–only with more politicians and less acrobats.
It doesn’t take long for reality to catch up with people who spend their money recklessly. If the situation is not too far gone, it may be simply a question of cutting back temporarily on unnecessary purchases. However, if the overspending has persisted for a long period of time, an individual may be forced by …
“It should come as no surprise with the maturity of image creation, the explosion of writing tools, and the massive rise of video and audio tools that are driving the growth of generative AI at such a rapid pace, the government and the public at large would start to consider who will directly and legally benefit from the outcome production of these new and developing technologies.” So why is no one talking about it?
Biden’s War on America. Everything that progressives went into hysterics over about Trump doing if re-elected is coming to fruition under Biden. Joe’s Administration is not only a national and international disaster, he’s become an autocrat. Even his own Party is turning on him, if only by small degrees. But power is the watchword and …
