Tom Hanks, Margaret Brennan, and the European Ministers — Reveal It All
Tom Hanks, Margaret Brennan, and the European Ministers — Reveal It All Three recent but completely unrelated events illustrate the deranged hatred of Donald Trump and his supporters continuing now even into a second decade. And yet the venom only further marginalizes the left.

Battling bishops sue the Trump administration for 'their' migrant millions
Battling bishops sue the Trump administration for 'their' migrant millions: The U.S. Catholic bishops have lawyered up.
And they're out to claw back "their" money -- at last count $65 million in taxpayer cash -- which they use to advance the entry of millions of illegal migrants into the U.S. and leave the taxpayers with the bill for their permanent upkeep.

DOGE takes on the Social Security monster
DOGE takes on the Social Security monster: With DOGE, the hits just keep coming.
Elon Musk has used his formidable communications reach to highlight DOGE's discovery that Social Security, which is going broke, seems to be paying a whole lot of people who shouldn't be drawing any mo...
Democrats in the Wilderness
Democrats in the Wilderness: The Democrat party appears determined to spend the next 40 years wandering in the wilderness. There have been no fruitful reflections leading to productive responses to the drubbing Democrats took in the 2024 national elections. The few Cassandras who think some change in course is required are considered by Democrat elitists to be dinosaurs worthy of disdain.

Democrat Party now the biggest threat to world peace and freedom
Democrat Party now the biggest threat to world peace and freedom: Democrats seek to strip Americans of the inherent rights granted to each of us by our Creator. The right to free speech, assembly and religious association? Not if Democrats don’t care for the speech, cause, or religion involved. (You’re screwed if you’re a conservative Christian, for example.) The Second Amendment? Nope. Whatever God granteth, Democrats taketh away. Or try to.
Trump is Closing the Border. Now What About Legal Immigration?
Trump is Closing the Border. Now What About Legal Immigration?: President Donald Trump, only a few weeks into his second term, has almost sealed America’s borders. Illegal border crossings have dropped by 90 percent as Trump has directed his agencies to enforce existing laws.
How Dumb is CBS Anchor Margaret Brennan?
CBS's Margaret Brennan scolds Marco Rubio on free speech by suggesting it caused the Holocaust: CBS's Face the Nation host, Margaret Brennan, had lots of scolding for Secretary of State Marco Rubio in her interview with him Sunday, given her displeasure with Vice President J.D. Vance's speech defending free speech last week in Munich.

Government Downsizing and the Left’s Instinctive Outcry
Government Downsizing and the Left’s Instinctive Outcry: One of the more interesting reactions is the shedding of tears over government workers losing their jobs. The Left’s dutiful shills in the media are writing articles about the personal trauma suffered by these government employees, now suddenly jobless and faced with the challenges of paying for their children’s expensive private schools, their expensive electric cars, their expensive Washington D.C. area homes.

EU elites pan Vance’s speech, welcome terror and dissolution
EU elites pan Vance’s speech, welcome terror and dissolution: Victor Davis Hanson, the great historian and Hoover Institution Senior Fellow, recently appeared on Newsmax and compared the heads of the European Union (EU) to far left and rant-prone Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA).
Hanson was referring to the speech ...
Week Four: No Rest for the Grifters
Week Four: No Rest for the Grifters: In the 1960s when my husband and I first worked in Washington, D.C., according to the Office of Personnel Management, there were about 1,808,000 (which includes military; non-Department of Defense was 761,000) federal employees.

A New Property Tax Revolt
A New Property Tax Revolt: It has been half a century since Howard Jarvis launched the first property tax revolt with Prop 13 in California. Since then, forty-six states and the District of Columbia have enacted some form of property tax limitation. Some of these measures have proven to be effective, but others are poorly designed and ineffective.
Over $151 Million Taken from Soldiers' Paychecks for Food Costs Spent Elsewhere by the Army Under Biden
Over $151 Million Taken from Soldiers' Paychecks for Food Costs Spent Elsewhere by the Army | Military.com: The money is collected in what amounts to a tax on troops -- taken from their Basic Allowance for Subsistence payments, roughly $460 per month that is automatically deducted from the paychecks of service members.

Democrats’ real terror about DOGE and the Treasury
Democrats’ real terror about DOGE and the Treasury: There have been increasing histrionics about the DOGE team gaining access to the U.S. Treasury payments system.
For the last twelve years, I have noticed a pattern with the socialists/Democrats: deflect from the real issue by offering a bright, sh...
High Electric Bills Are the Tip of the Iceberg
High Electric Bills Are the Tip of the Iceberg: U.S. electric rates are going up. In Missouri, Ameren increased residential power bills by 11% less than two years ago, and now it is seeking another 15% increase, per the Public Service Commission (PSC).
According to the U.S. Energy In...
We’re Living through the Biggest Scandal of All Time
We’re Living through the Biggest Scandal of All Time: All four of the biggest scandals in U.S. history have happened in just the past few years:
(a) the cover-up of Joe Biden’s decline;
(b) lawfare against Trump;
(c) the cover-up of Hunter Biden’s influence-peddling, and now; and

Western "Public Health": A Socialist Vanguard
Western "Public Health": A Socialist Vanguard As both physicians and citizens, we must wean ourselves from the false idol of centralized planning, utilitarianism, socialism, a nanny state bureaucracy, and a conflicted medical elite that seeks to optimize equality of outcomes.
How much power does Elon Musk have?
How much power does Elon Musk have?: All Elon has done is ask questions and share the answers he found. He has lifted up the rock. Exposed to sunlight, the creatures underneath are scurrying around as if their careers depend on it, and they do. They are dying in the sunlight.
2026 Midterms: Trump Is Just Warming Up
2026 Midterms: Trump Is Just Warming Up: Mark your calendar: November 3, 2026. Midterms soon become the primary focus to produce solid Republican congressional majorities. Republicans are preparing to turn Congress increasingly red. Musk brings the cash.
Rogue judges work to stop Trump’s executive orders
Rogue judges work to stop Trump’s executive orders: Of eleven judges identified, eight of them were nominated by Democrat presidents. Most of them have taken action against Trump’s pauses to federal funding; others have ruled against Trump’s seeking to end birthright citizenship; still others have stopped the transfer of a transgender woman to a male prison facility. But perhaps most telling are the actions of several of the judges prior to their judgeships.
Clown show: Democrats vow to shut down the government, to protest Trump ... shutting down the government
Clown show: Democrats vow to shut down the government, to protest Trump ... shutting down the government: Banana republic lately?
We know why they're doing that -- they're the exclusive recipients of the gravy train. A Polish official reportedly said that at least half of the USAID package to Ukraine was laundered back to Democrats.
Do We Regret Voting for Donald Trump? Hell No!
Do We Regret Voting for Donald Trump? Hell No!: Democrats are searching for a glimmer of good news amid their electoral defeat a few months ago. They are also in shock, or experiencing Trumpus epilepticus, over how quickly President Trump is doing exactly what he promised during the campaign.

Massive fraud is exposed by Musk and Trump and the left is furiously melting down! Does this not reveal their consciousness of guilt?
Massive fraud is exposed by Musk and Trump and the left is furiously melting down! Does this not reveal their consciousness of guilt?: The unimaginable billions of dollars that have been pilfered from the American people by corrupt pols by illegal, reprehensible means, either to enrich themselves by subterfuge or to fund absurdly anti-American projects is coming to light.

When it takes 12 days to get your mail...: Recently, using the U.S. Postal Service, I conducted some family business with a cousin who lives in Tucson, Arizona. The papers he sent me were postmarked January 31. The envelope arrived in Topeka, Kansas on February 11. ...
No, Trump Does Not Have to Abide by a Mythical 'Judicial Supremacy'
No, Trump Does Not Have to Abide by a Mythical 'Judicial Supremacy': Regardless, whether the decisions are made by unelected judges or unelected bureaucrats, the result is identical: You don’t have a government of, by and for the people. In fact, it’s even worse than that.

Time to Impeach Activist Democrat Judges
Lawfare 2.0: A New York judge launches a coup: There can be no justifiable reason for any American to contest these actions. Nevertheless, on Feb. 8, a federal district court judge, Paul Engelmayer, sitting in the Southern District of New York, committed the most grotesque act of lawfare this nation has yet seen.
After an ex parte hearing at which no one from Trump’s administration was present, Engelmayer exceeded his constitutional power with an order usurping the president’s executive authority.
The Latest "Bird Flu" Psyop
The Latest "Bird Flu" Psyop What is happening now with “bird flu” is another psyops campaign being conducted by the administrative/deep state, apparently in partnership with Pharma, against the American people. They know and we know that the “vaccines” being produced will be somewhat ineffective.
The Democrats sowed the wind and are reaping the whirlwind
The Democrats sowed the wind and are reaping the whirlwind: If you sow the wind, you will reap the whirlwind. At this moment, a whirlwind named Donald J. Trump and his new wingman, Elon Musk, are swirling across the political landscape, and with devastating effect.
Downsizing the Federal Government
Downsizing the Federal Government: Over the next four years, we must take many interconnected steps to modernize, shrink, and renew our system of government.
Trump’s Chess Game Is Improving
Trump’s Chess Game Is Improving: Does Chucky Schumer really believe that $20 million for Sesame Street in Iraq will somehow benefit the U.S.? Or $7 million to promote LGBT advocacy in Jamaica and Uganda? Uganda enforces the death penalty for gays. The list goes on and on and on.

Shutting Down USAID Is Only The First Step To Cutting Government Pork
Shutting Down USAID Is Only The First Step To Cutting Government Pork: Records show how the left-leaning newspaper Politico swept up around $8.2 million in state-sponsored awards after the federal government purchased hundreds of subscriptions to Politico Pro, a b2b service which offers, “non-partisan, real-time intelligence personalized to their area of policy focus.” Per online reports, these subscriptions could cost upwards of $10,000 each.
It appears media giant The Associated Press has also been taking funds from our government, netting hundreds of thousands of dollars in recent years. Who knows exactly how much news agencies have been receiving from unelected bureaucrats, and for what purposes?
After the failures of lawfare, a leftist judge plows forward to new heights of judicial overreach
After the failures of lawfare, a leftist judge plows forward to new heights of judicial overreach: This tells us the judicial system is no longer doing its job, but acting on behalf of special interests -- and fighting hard to keep its privileges.

Trump 2.0: The First Month
Trump 2.0: The First Month: No American political figure in the last hundred years has gotten so much press and inspired so much love and hate as Donald John Trump. Not Bill Clinton or John Kennedy with their overactive libidos, not Nixon with Watergate, not Bush with the Iraq War or Obama for incessantly playing the race card nor FDR with his socialist approach to solving America's economic woes.
Maybe CBS stands for Clearly Bull Sh*t
Maybe CBS stands for Clearly Bull Sh*t: Another bomb drops and hits the media on the head. Does anyone doubt now that CBS was in the tank for VP Kamala Harris? Can you watch "Face the Nation," for example, and wonder who they voted for?
Our Self-Important, Self-Deluding, Self-Unaware ‘Elites’
Our Self-Important, Self-Deluding, Self-Unaware ‘Elites’: Unindicted “Russia collusion” co-conspirator and former acting director of the FBI Andrew McCabe ran to the Communist News Network to complain that all his old friends at the Bureau are terrified of being fired. He reported to fellow Democrat traveler Anderson Cooper that FBI officials are worried about how they’re going to pay their bills and take care of their families.
The glitter of America's golden era
The glitter of America's golden era: Unlike his predecessor who let America's inflation reach new heights, Donald Trump is now forcing us to confront our choices by limiting our options as he puts his thumb on the trade scale. While limiting options might be seen as counterproductive to free market capitalism, it is consistent with the views of some people who believe that the free market is just a tad too free and needs a bit of realignment.

The Church, Illegals, and the Law
The Church, Illegals, and the Law: With the crackdown on illegal immigrants, some Catholics are advising these individuals on ways to avoid deportation. The insinuation is that the law is unfair and can, therefore, be disregarded and resisted.
The USAID boondoggle: fully exposed and unraveling
The USAID boondoggle: fully exposed and unraveling: No federal agency epitomizes waste, corruption, and unchecked power like the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). President Donald Trump was right to scrutinize this bureaucratic behemoth, and now that he’s back in the White House, he must take decisive action — because USAID is more than just a waste of taxpayer dollars. It is a slush fund for leftist ideologues, globalist elites, and, in some cases, terrorists.
Trump Drains the Swamp
Trump Drains the Swamp: The roar you hear is the sound of the pumps that President Trump is using to drain the Swamp. The horrific disturbance echoing through Washington is the wailing of Democrats coming to the aid of the administrative state. Politicians in both parties, the uniparty, participated or stood by passively while vast sums of money were spent to develop and maintain the inefficient, bloated, regulation regurgitating, red-tape dispensing monolith we know as the bureaucracy.

Our Broken Healthcare System
Our Broken Healthcare System: With our nation’s declining health and myriads of health problems, over the past two decades, only one man, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has tried to draw attention to these issues. He even ran for president mostly on health issues. When Kennedy was forced out of the race, President Trump took up his cause to Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) and frequently had Kennedy campaigning with him to encourage better health. To promote his MAHA agenda, Trump named Kennedy the next secretary of Health and Human Services.
Cold Winters Mean Global Warming? In What World?
Cold Winters Mean Global Warming? In What World?: Logic suggests that cold winters, especially record-setting ones, mean that the planet may not be warming, as global warming alarmists insist.
Turns out we have a state-sponsored media after all, except that they didn't tell us
Turns out we have a state-sponsored media after all, except that they didn't tell us: Turns out we had a state-controlled press, too, and I'm not talking about NPR or Voice of America, which are up front about their funding. Big chunks of the rest of the supposedly independent press were too, except that they went those communist places one better by not telling their readers. They took aid from USAID and became the state-controlled presses, too, and all you had to do was look at their "product." Any questions as to why they were so biased?

Top 5 Failed Democrat Initiatives That Cost Americans a Fortune
Top 5 Failed Democrat Initiatives That Cost Americans a Fortune: The Biden-Harris era was marked by failed Bidenomics and a steep decline in financial well-being for the majority of American families. The figures speak for themselves. Inflation rates hit highs of 8% in 2022. The national debt saw an increase from $27.8 trillion in January 2021 to $33 trillion in January 2025.
Trump is ripping off the bandage, and it hurts
Trump is ripping off the bandage, and it hurts: As Newt Gingrich has warned, the upcoming midterm elections will determine the success or failure of the “America First” agenda. Those elections will either cement control of the Congress in favor of that agenda or doom it. A few months of pain, a few months of Democrat “I told you so” criticism of Trump’s policies, will be forgotten if, as Trump has said, success overwhelms the criticism.

MAGA Is Now America’s Political Mainstream
MAGA Is Now America’s Political Mainstream: The MAGA centrist policy goals resonated with Americans. Trump won the Electoral College by a robust 312-226 margin, won the popular vote handily, and swept all seven battleground states. Over the last three presidential election cycles, Trump has moved Ohio and Florida from swing state status to Republican locks.
The 'do not call' law of 1991 needs updating
The 'do not call' law of 1991 needs updating: We didn’t have texting in 1991. We do now. This law needs to be updated to reflect that and we all would do well to contact our legislators and ask them nicely to amend it. Of course, we need to be cognizant of the fact that we’re asking them to stop using a fundraising tool which they believe benefits them, so it’s incumbent upon us to take a multi-pronged approach to get satisfaction.

The uncivil service objects to Trump
The uncivil service objects to Trump: Trump is demanding — gasp! — that federal employees, many of whom have been out of the office since Covid lockdowns, return to their offices and actually work 40 hours a week. He is also offering exceedingly generous buyouts for people who can’t bring themselves to actually do the kind of supervised work most Americans somehow manage every week. They’ll get their salary and benefits through September, and during that period, they don’t have to show up for work!
With Trump imposing tariffs, suddenly the media is concerned about inflation
With Trump imposing tariffs, suddenly the media is concerned about inflation: President Trump is imposing tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China to force them to help the U.S on illegal immigration and drug trafficking.
The media and other Democrats are complaining that it will cost Americans more than $800 even though Trump's tariffs in his first term caused little if any inflation -- tariffs don't cause inflation, government money-printing does.
During the election they predicted the cost would be $4,000. Historical results mean little to Democrats.
Trump: Master of Style and Substance
Trump: Master of Style and Substance: Once upon a time, substance was all that mattered. Achievers didn't drumbeat their accomplishments because the work spoke for itself. Those high standards gradually devolved; style mattered as much as substance. Perhaps the advent of television contributed to this.
Alas, the decline continued such that some humans replaced substance with style. Shockingly, their deception wasn't always detected. Perhaps the omnipresence of social media contributed to this.
Trump’s Second Week: A Turning Point in American Governance
Trump’s Second Week: A Turning Point in American Governance: In his second week of his second term in office, President Trump has asserted the right of the Chief Executive to effectively manage the Executive Branch. He has blindsided -- even gelded -- his detractors in the media and Congress, and issued an astonishing array of executive orders which reveal how tax funds have been flowing out of the Treasury to the benefit of the Deep State and its friends without regard (and often even being inimical) to the national interest.
