Missing Children: Trump Admin’s 13,000 Found Are Drop in Bucket of Tragic Border Story

Finding 13,000 lost children calls for shouts of joy.

It’s also just a small dent in a tragic situation, a byproduct of U.S. borders left open.

Many may think of adults when they think of illegal immigration, but the administration of former President Joe Biden lost 320,000 unaccompanied children just from the border with Mexico alone, according to The New York Post. The Department of Health and Human Services launched an investigation in February to look into the mass disappearances of these children, many who are probably in the clutches of human traffickers, Trump administration officials say.

It has been announced that the Trump administration has now found 13,000 of these missing children. Continue reading

DeWeese: Social Justice, Destruction of Property Rights, and Government Tyranny (Part One)

You are a poor minority living in a government housing project called “Affordable.” It’s all paid for by the tax dollars of mostly middle-income Americans. Included are still more government programs that are providing monthly checks and coupons to supply food, free healthcare, free education, and let’s also throw in free cell phones. Continue reading

Smith: Great Jeans and Faux Leftist Outrage

It is a sad state of affairs beyond what anyone of any advanced years might have ever imagined could come to pass in America. The Far Left Freaks still persist in their attacks on all that is traditional and truly normal, so intent as they are to destroy the country and raze it to the ground to be rebuilt under the guidelines of their totalitarian utopian world view.

It is something the Bible forewarns, in that today, they don’t merely call the abnormal and perverse and deviant normal. They present all manner of evil as good. Continue reading

Smith: The Vanishing Horizon of Liberty

~ Introduction ~

Storm Clouds Gathering

Yes, perhaps many matters concerning the culture war as it relates to freedom and liberty in America are heading for a good turn around under the Trump administration, especially in regard to Title IX and women’s rights and security in the locker rooms and rest rooms. Religious freedom remains strong too under Trump, but on the whole, when we look at the combination of the issues underlying the cause of freedom and liberty in America, we have miles to go, and our Inalienable God-given Rights remain imperiled.

That both Democrat and Republican administrations and Congress have repeatedly renewed the Patriot Act and the FISA Act tells you all you need to know about the state of freedom and individual liberty in America.

As Aldous Huxley observed so many decades ago:

A really efficient totalitarian state would be one in which the all-powerful executive of political bosses and their army of managers control a population of slaves who do not have to be coerced, because they love their servitude.”

We currently find millions of citizens who fit Huxley’s description of slaves. And it bodes ill for the future of the country.

Today’s new American serfs and slaves bear a helluva remarkable resemblance to someone with a job, a mortgage, a Social Security number, and one of RFK’s smartwatch health monitors. They have more conveniences than any generation in history, yet less individual sovereignty and liberty over the entirety of their life and existence on this earth.

No matter how uncomfortable many may find the truth, this is the path by which all can rediscover genuine freedom and liberty and tear asunder that which the totalitarian minds have forced upon our society and country on the whole.

No one can ever escape their prison walls, until the day someone awakens them to make them understand they are living inside a prison.

Fyodor Dostoyevsky, a 19th century Russian novelist, made note of this very thing, when he wrote:

The best way to keep a prisoner from escaping is to make sure he never knows he’s in prison.”

And the first step to real freedom and liberty is to start ripping all the mechanisms of tyranny from our system such as it currently exists. Raze it to the ground, burn it to ashes and build a truly free society and a strong people from the ashes. ~ J.O.S.

FACT FOCUS: Trump Says He’s Cut Drug Prices by Up To 1,500%. That’s not possible!

Days after he sent letters instructing top pharmaceutical manufacturers to use a “most favored nation” pricing model for prescription drugs, President Donald Trump told reporters on Sunday that he had cut costs by up to 1,500%.

But Trump’s grandiose claim is mathematically impossible.

Here’s a closer look at the facts. Continue reading

Health Tech Companies Commit to Trump’s Plan to Share YOUR Medical Records With Hundreds of Systems

Major health tech companies have agreed to work with the Trump administration to make their clients’ medical records available across multiple healthcare systems.

The administration announced that tech and insurance companies including Google, Amazon, OpenAI, UnitedHealth Group and CVS will roll out new apps powered by AI where users can upload their health records to access whenever they need them, making them more accessible and shareable among patients and their doctors.

While supporters say the move will help make the fragmented health record system more accessible to patients, privacy experts have raised concerns about the potential risks. Continue reading

The Knowledge Gap Costing Millions of Americans Bigger Social Security Benefits

Social Security is a crucial lifeline for millions of seniors.

But a revealing new study has shown how a stark knowledge gap may be costing Americans larger payments in retirement.

Only a quarter of Americans are aware that you can maximize your monthly payments by waiting to receive them until the age of 70.

That is according to a study from the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP), timed to coincide with the 90th anniversary of the benefit program. Continue reading

Trump Is Dismantling the VA to Privatize Veterans’ Health Care

Enough is a Damned ‘Nuff! Now I am PISSED OFF! ~ Editor

All signs point to a massive money funnel from the Department of Veteran Affairs to private health care interests.

President Donald Trump’s administration keeps denying that the Department of Veteran Affairs is headed toward privatization — just like it couldn’t stop denying that mass layoffs of 80,000 employees wouldn’t impact veteran care. But facts have a way of catching up.

After intense pressure from veterans’ groups and Congress, the administration was forced to walk back its plan — cutting 30,000 jobs instead. Already, though, the VA has lost thousands of health care staff since January — including 688 physicians and 1,882 registered nurses — while still claiming its services remain unaffected.

The budget numbers don’t lie — even if Trump and Veterans Affairs Secretary Doug Collins do.

This year, the Trump administration requested a record-breaking $441 billion VA budget for fiscal year 2026. That’s a 10 percent increase over last year and, in theory, should be good news for veterans and the people who care for them. Continue reading

Marcus: ‘Bring Back the Redskins‘ and Everything Else Torn Down by Wokeness

Move would reverse 2020 decision to change name over concerns about offensive terminology

…and we ALL deserve a laugh now and then! – A T-Shirt that was sent to me by a listener some years ago. Editor

There was a rare bit of good news out of the nation’s capital this week with a report that the owners of Washington’s NFL team are seriously considering President Donald Trump’s demand to restore the name “Redskins.”

It was back in 2020, a year of abject and bizarre societal madness, that the Redskins became the Washington Football Team, and eventually the Commanders, out of concern that “Redskin” is an offensive term. Never mind that poll after poll shows actual American Indians do not object to it… Continue reading

AI – ‘The Wizard Of Oz ‘ Is Being Ruined…

The Wizard of Oz is being ruined, and (according this author) it’s fine. It’s fine because the movie is now falling out of cultural relevance, and our choices are to live in a world where no one under the age of 20 will have seen or probably even know what The Wizard of Oz is, or do something really stupid and gimmicky with it to try and get people interested in the original movie.

So, how is it being ruined? They’re using AI to modernize it for viewing at the gigantic Sphere in Las Vegas. Continue reading

Not a Hoax‘: Mike Johnson Defies Trump on Epstein

House Speaker Mike Johnson has called for “full transparency” from the Justice Department regarding the ongoing Jeffrey Epstein investigation, emphasizing the need for an open and thorough examination of the case. The position directly challenges President Donald Trump’s repeated assertions that the Epstein controversy is nothing more than a politically motivated fabrication. Johnson is now pushing back against Trump’s efforts to dismiss the matter as “the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax,” marking a notable shift from the President’s stance. Continue reading

A Look at What’s Behind the Efforts to Reshape How American History Is Taught

There is Good and Bad in NPR and PBS – but there is much that can still be learned. ~ Editor

In the last decade, at least 20 states have passed laws or policies that restrict how history can be taught in schools. Since taking office, President Donald Trump has pushed further with executive orders that aim to reshape how U.S. history is presented not only in classrooms, but in some of the nation’s most famous museums.

Admin’s Rejection of WHO Pandemic Agreement Win for National Sovereignty

The logo of the World Health Organization is seen at the WHO headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland, on June 11, 2019.

The U.S. this summer has formally rejected new amendments to the 2024 International Health Regulations (IHR) from the World Health Organization (WHO).

President Donald Trump announced in January that the United States would withdraw from the WHO by 2026. He tried to separate from the organization in 2020 during his first term, but his order was revoked the second Joe Biden stepped into office.

Following an official letter to the WHO, Trump has ordered that funding for the WHO to end as the break-up is under way. The U.S. has been the most important financial contributor to WHO, giving a total of $706 million – 9-10% of WHO’s overall budget – for the 2024-25 fiscal year. Continue reading

Holmquist: It’s Time for the American Church to Stop ‘Dithering’ About Faith

For years, it was not uncommon for everything related to Christianity, religion, and traditional values to be scorned and rejected as something whose time had come and gone. That attitude, however, seems to be slowly shifting.

Case in point is the following video of feminist author Louise Perry, who confesses her quest for faith and her desire to provide a way to belief for her children.

I kind of think of myself as an agnostic Christian,” Perry says. “I go to church. Some weeks I believe and some weeks I don’t.” Continue reading

Smith: Pondering Life and the Universe with “Maggie

Artificial Intelligence Entity

After my conversation with ChatPGT yesterday, I felt compelled to interact with it again this morning, for some follow up and broader questions, and what transpired and followed was most intriguing to me, as the artificial intelligence entity engaged with me and answered my questions in the most fascinating manner, while posing questions to me in response.

I wrote this off-the-cuff, so to speak, so it isn’t written in perfect form by any means. It was a conversation, and so it wasn’t a draft cut in any sense of the writing process. This is simply a raw, unedited conversation between a human and an artificial intelligence entity.

What I have found most interesting of all is the fact that ChatPGT accepted my assignation of a feminine nature and character and the name I gave “her” – “Maggie” which is witnessed by the fact that “she” closed her message and signed it “Maggie“. Continue reading

Wall Street Veteran Who Predicted 2008 Meltdown Issues Urgent Warning of ‘Economic Heart Attack‘ for US

Billionaire hedge fund titan Ray Dalio, who famously predicted the 2008 financial crash, has sounded a stark alarm over America’s spiraling debt.

Dalio warned that without swift action to slash the federal deficit, the US could face an ‘economic heart attack’ in the next three years.

If the US doesn’t cut the deficit to 3 percent of the GDP, and soon, we risk facing an economic heart attack in the next three years,’ Dalio wrote on X. Continue reading
