In defense of English primary literacy: Shutter the U.S. Department of Education
In defense of English primary literacy: Shutter the U.S. Department of Education: Bravo to President Trump for instituting, this week, English as our official language. By his executive order, Trump took a hugely important first step, among others, toward reclaiming a seriously inadequate primary education for our children and youth. It is at the primary level that our children and youth best properly learn the English language for life — or don’t.
Media work overtime to hide Trump’s progress, and the Democrats’ hypocrisy
Media work overtime to hide Trump’s progress, and the Democrats’ hypocrisy: No matter how much waste, fraud, and abuse is found, the media essentially report few, if any details to the public, then say there is no evidence to support any funding cuts. Mainstream “journalism” continues its flight into obscurity.
Democrats -- And Their Media -- Prove That They’re The Enemies Of The People
Democrats -- And Their Media -- Prove That They’re The Enemies Of The People: The Democrats claim to be the party of empathy and the defender of minorities, but they couldn't muster the effort to applaud a young African American boy who survived cancer.
Their disdain and apathy for regular people is hardly a surprise; what is surprising is that they didn't bother to conceal these sentiments.

The Trump Speech and the Conservative Mandate
The Trump Speech and the Conservative Mandate: Trump’s speech, themed “The Renewal of the American Dream,” was a masterstroke of conservative principle. At its core lay a defiant assertion: America’s destiny hinges not on international consensus or bureaucratic largesse, but on the grit of its people and the wisdom of its borders.

New Study Reveals How DEI Training Increases Hostility
New Study Reveals How DEI Training Increases Hostility These findings underscore the need for careful consideration and rigorous evaluation of DEI efforts. More concerning, however, is the extent to which DEI culture has become counterproductive — so much so that it exacerbates the very problems it claims to resolve.
Trump’s triumphant vision as America’s renewal shines in historic address
Trump’s triumphant vision as America’s renewal shines in historic address: On March 4, 2025, President Donald J. Trump delivered a stunning and historic address to Congress that lasted 1 hour and 40 minutes—the longest presidential speech to a joint session. “He talked for more than an hour and 40 minutes, breaking the previous record set by President Bill Clinton ’s 2000 State of the Union address, which ran 1 hour, 28 minutes and 49 seconds.”
Two polls show the public is thrilled with Trump's address to Congress
Two polls show the public is thrilled with Trump's address to Congress: As Democrats pulled one petulant stunt after another at President Trump's address to Congress last night, polls show that the public wasn't buying it.
Instead, it was impressed with what Trump had to say.

The USAID Demolition Derby
The USAID Demolition Derby Last week, DOGE dismantled USAID demolition derby style. A lot of dubious government funding was finally facing public scrutiny, but often the story seemed to be “look what we discovered” when much of the information has been online for years.

No More Globalist Delusions: Ukraine’s War Strategy Has Failed
No More Globalist Delusions: Ukraine’s War Strategy Has Failed: The globalist vision for Ukraine is a fantasy. Washington (although this has changed with President Trump’s inauguration on the policy level), Brussels, and London pretend Kyiv can restore its pre-2014 borders, put Putin on trial, and impose lasting consequences on Moscow—all without answering a simple question: How? Where will the troops and weapons come from?
Media Gaslighting about Trump’s Popularity
Media Gaslighting about Trump’s Popularity: Trump is exceeding Joe Biden in public opinion regarding key issues like the economy, immigration, foreign affairs, government efficiency, inflation, and revitalizing American values. He currently boasts nearly or over majority approval on these matters, while Biden has garnered only around one-third of voter support.

English as our official language
English as our official language: On March 1, 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order declaring English the official language of the United States — a historic act that reverberates with the timbre of our nation’s founding. This is not mere policy; it is a clarion call to reclaim the linguistic bedrock upon which America’s greatness was forged. For too long, we have drifted in a sea of Babel-like ambivalence, diluting our cohesion with well-meaning but misguided multiculturalism. Today, conservatives stand at a crossroads: we can embrace this as a triumph of unity and identity, or squander it in the face of predictable progressive hand-wringing. The choice is clear — English must be our official tongue, not as a cudgel, but as a covenant of shared purpose.

Is Jeff Bezos seeing the light?: While I don’t believe for a minute that Jeff Bezos has had a come-to-Jesus, road-to-Damascus epiphany, I do believe that he’s recognized that his paper’s hard-left whackadoodle opinions ran afoul of normal, everyday Americans, and therefore posed a long-term drag on his paper’s fortunes.

The FBI hides evidence of being the FBI
The FBI hides evidence of being the FBI: Imagine you’re an operative for a government law enforcement agency gone Stasi. Your power over the lives of others is near-absolute. You can destroy anyone who even thinks of opposing you or your political masters. You no longer expose yourself to the dangers of pursuing real criminals, spies and terrorists. Soccer moms and Catholics are easy targets. You’re covered. You can violate the law and Constitution at will and violating the rights of Americans is your daily stock in trade.

Kash Patel: reshaping the FBI: Kash Patel’s confirmation, secured by a 51-49 vote in February 2025, marks a significant moment. For many, it represents a much-needed correction to an FBI that has been criticized for its politicization, its perceived bias, and its failure to fully serve the American people.

Judicial Adventurism Can Imperil Democracy
Judicial Adventurism Can Imperil Democracy I believe that politicians and the political process pose less of an institutionalised threat to people’s freedoms, liberties, and speech than unelected judges who often, in the guise of interpreting laws, don’t hesitate to make – and make up – laws.
Trump is sick of government patronage
Trump is sick of government patronage: It has been estimated that of the 2.3 million federal employees, spread across dozens of agencies, only 54% regularly work in the office. The president has deemed this unacceptable and has offered government employees a very generous buy-out package to quit their jobs. For others, he has instituted reduction-in-force mandates to eliminate tens of thousands of jobs.
Trump and the Art of Political Warfare
Trump and the Art of Political Warfare: However, an overlooked but extraordinarily foundational accomplishment of Donald Trump is the successful creation of a de facto third major political party (MAGA) from the rotting corpses of the Democrat Party and the Republican Party establishment. Adding insult to injury, Trump, beginning in 2016, has done so by hijacking the Republican Party’s national infrastructure and banner.
Can Trump Do What Reagan Couldn’t, and End the Department of Education Con Job?
Can Trump Do What Reagan Couldn’t, and End the Department of Education Con Job?: Consider that, since 1980, $3.6 trillion were confiscated from American taxpayers and deployed by the agency, and the outcome is that roughly 30% of American eighth graders can read at grade level. Only 26% of American high school students are proficient at mathematics.

DC swamp dwellers panic and flee the swamp
DC swamp dwellers panic and flee the swamp: There are several pithy phrases that well describe the ignoble actions of people with guilty consciences: “rats leaving a sinking ship,” and “cockroaches scurrying under the fridge when the kitchen lights come on,” among them. Of course, that kind of flight requires self-awareness and actual consciences, qualities lacking in our Democrat/socialist/communist (D/s/c) self-imagined elite, but I’m sure you take my meaning.

Unmasking Comedian Zelensky's Deception and His True Role in the War on the Global Stage
Unmasking Comedian Zelensky's Deception and His True Role in the War on the Global Stage: Trump’s call for diplomacy with Russia isn't about siding with Putin, as many critics claim, but about finding a resolution to an unwinnable war. Zelensky’s refusal to negotiate, despite the rising toll of human life and destruction, underscores his role in prolonging the conflict. If the world hopes to see peace in Ukraine, Zelensky’s leadership must be reconsidered, and his war-driven agenda should be scrutinized.

All of a sudden, the media and other Democrats are worried about job losses
All of a sudden, the media and other Democrats are worried about job losses: For five years, a huge number of highly paid government workers in D.C. have been allowed to work from home, and not once did I see the media and other Democrats worry about the waste of taxpayer dollars, or all the residual losses at local businesses due to a massive decrease in patronage, and not once did I see the media and other Democrats whine about all the job losses and bankruptcies caused by government lockdowns during the pandemic.

The Democrats' Failed Anti-DOGE Narratives: Democrats/socialists/communist (D/s/cs) remain shell-shocked by Donald Trump. Who could have imagined a politician keeping campaign promises? Worse, who could have imagined a politician really and truly dismantling the Deep State and returning power on loan from the people to the people rather than just slinging soaring rhetoric? That Trump is first and foremost a businessman and deal maker seems to have escaped their notice. That he really does seem to love America and Americans has not escaped their notice, and that, above all else, terrifies them.
