In a world of fake news, political drama, and endless headlines, sometimes there’s only one thing left to do: pick up a guitar and sing about it.
This is Trump like you’ve never heard him before — a surreal blues performance about the media, power, and the never-ending battle over what’s real and what isn’t.
“The word ‘security’ is a broad, vague generality whose contours should not be invoked to abrogate the fundamental law embodied in the First Amendment.” ~ Justice Hugo Black, New York Times Co. v. United States (1971)
“National security” has become the government’s all-purpose permission slip to behave badly.
They have become the magic words that can make constitutional restraints disappear – especially when the courts defer to claims of national security. Courts have historically been reluctant to second-guess the executive branch when government officials invoke military necessity, classified information, foreign affairs or national security.

Deckard, a blade runner, has to track down and terminate 4 replicants who hijacked a ship in space and have returned to Earth seeking their maker.
We don’t need permission from Silicon Valley or Washington to start thinking for ourselves. The moment we stop outsourcing our minds is when we take back America!
We are living through a quiet, systemic assault on human reason.
Every day, millions of Americans pull out their phones, run a quick web search, or ask an AI chatbot a simple question about current events. They assume they are using a neutral tool – a modern electronic encyclopedia.
Eight years ago in the summer of 2018, an automated monitoring system at the US government’s Social Security Agency flagged a questionable transaction and immediately forwarded it to a human worker at the agency to investigate.
It took more than a year for a Social Security employee to look into it. And it was painfully obvious – Social Security was paying too much ‘supplemental security income’ to the recipient. Continue reading
WE are in a war. Man has been in that war since day one. Just studying history shows that there are people who want to make all the rules, who want to control what we eat, if we eat, what we believe, and even how long we get to exist on this mortal coil.
Look at the wars from the earliest recorded time. The world is divided into three groups of people, those of us who want to live equally with everyone else, those who want to run the world and decide who can live and who can die, and those who don’t care enough to give a tinker’s damn.
So, it is the first two groups who matter. The third isn’t even good enough for cannon fodder. (Ah, yes. This is just my humble opinion, not edicts spelled out in media.)
We from group one (yes, I identify with the real white hats) have been fighting this war since high school. We saw that the school system was a second-group factor and fought it with words – all we had as ammunition. Continue reading
“What if the rights and principles guaranteed in the Constitution have been so distorted in the past 200 years as to be unrecognizable by the Founders? What if the government was the reason we don’t have a Constitution anymore? What if freedom’s greatest hour of danger is now?” ~ Andrew P. Napolitano
What’s the point in celebrating the Constitution one day a year if we permit the government to violate it the other 364?
September 17 marked the anniversary of the signing of the U.S. Constitution, a document designed not merely to establish a government but to restrain it.
Yet restraint is in increasingly short supply.
Across the political spectrum, Americans continue to tolerate abuses of power so long as those abuses are carried out by the “right” people, against the “wrong” people, or in the name of some emergency deemed too important to question.
That is how constitutional government dies! Continue reading
The Senate crawls back from recess on September 14. The marble hallways will fill up. The cameras will click. And the question hanging over the chamber is the same one America has been asking all summer: Where’s Mitch?
Not “how’s Mitch.” Not “what’s Mitch thinking.” Just… where.
Because the longest-running turtle in Washington has been MIA since June. Last recorded vote: June 11. Hospitalized June 14 after a fall. Then weeks of silence. Then rehab. Then “recovering at home.” Then more silence. Meanwhile the rest of the country is expected to clock in on time. Continue reading
I think it is time we discussed the constitutional rights of our children. And when I say children, I refer to the unborn and the born. It appears that too often we are subverting the rights of our children to the whims of adults, relegating them unrepresented, especially our unborn children whose voices we cannot yet hear, but we know that they can experience pain. Think about the recent bill signed into law in the State of Massachusetts by Gov. Maura Healey that allows our unborn children to be dismembered in the womb all the way up to birth.
This year we celebrate the 250th anniversary of American independence, when our nation was established based upon the Natural Rights theory of John Locke. Our endowed, unalienable rights of life, liberty, and property (pursuit of happiness) emanate from the God of our Judeo-Christian faith heritage. Sadly, it appears that Gov. Healey believes that the right to life emanates from her pen, as she condemned unborn babies to a brutal death in the State of Massachusetts. Wonder what the Sons of Liberty would say? And what of those disturbed women who stood by clapping and smiling as she did so? The delusional Marxist ideological right to dismember unborn babies in the womb, albeit Massachusetts already allowed such up to 24 weeks, undermines the constitutional right of those babies.

Tower 2 of the Twin Towers collapses as a plume of smoke and debris fill the air while people watch from Broome Street and 6th Avenue on Tuesday, August 25, 2026, in New York, New York.
It started as a gorgeous late-summer morning in New York City. Then everything went straight to hell.
Where were you when you knew?
Twenty-five years have passed as if in a heartbeat. On the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, I was sitting on the deck atop my Brooklyn brownstone with stunning views of lower Manhattan, preparing to take my daughter to her first day of preschool when a small plane appeared to fly into the north tower of the World Trade Center. Or so we thought. Continue reading

Twenty-five years later, the central question is not if we remember 9-11.
How could we possibly forget?
The central question is what that memory requires of us.
And if, over the years, do those requirements change.
Sept. 11, 2001 was – and still is – a muti-dimensional tragedy. Continue reading
The Daily Wire’s Ben Shapiro took aim at Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani, streamer Hasan Piker and Young Turks founder Cenk Uygur on Monday, accusing all four of undermining American democracy
Conservative podcaster Ben Shapiro has claimed that Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, New York’s Zohran Mamdani, and far-left influencers Hasan Piker and Cenk Uygur don’t belong in the US.
The Daily Wire founder made the declaration Monday on The Ben Shapiro Show.
‘Meanwhile, the West continues to import these people,’ Shapiro griped at a point, pointing out how all are either foreign-born or have parents who are immigrants.
None of the people I just mentioned should be in the country. None of them.’ Continue reading
The Democrat Party [nuthin’ “democratic” about it] has largely been the enemy of America, since 1913 with the election of Woodrow Wilson to the presidency and the passage of the Federal Reserve Bank Act and the Income Tax — and they have grown progressively worse through the FDR, LBJ, Carter, Obama and Biden years to the point that they are essentially authoritarian communists demanding the complete overthrow of our American system and the eradication of our constitutional republic and traditional America Herself, along with the virtues and principles that built Her — hiding the true horror and malicious and evil intent behind their agenda in the soft, comforting term of “the fundamental transformation of America”.
Their fundamental transformation will ultimately result in Hell on Earth and the reduction of every person in America to the lowest common denominator of “equality” in poverty — except of course for those holding the reins of power. ~ Justin O Smith
A pair of unanimous New Mexico Supreme Court orders has put a key part of Project Jupiter — a major artificial intelligence data center project in Santa Teresa — on pause, handing opponents a significant, though likely temporary, victory.
While Jeffries’s lieutenants speak out of both sides of their mouths about the creeping communist agenda — “Democratic Socialists aren’t part of the Democratic Party,” but “we’re a broad caucus” — conservatives are making it clear that the party has already been ideologically captured.
The Year of the Democratic Socialists took another twist Tuesday when the House went on the offensive to paint Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries’s (D-N.Y.) party as a dangerous force of anti-Americanism.
While the New Yorker has desperately tried to put some distance between Democrats and the DSA (somewhat unsuccessfully, others would add), the party’s drift toward mind-boggling radicalism is putting the entire country on edge. Continue reading
This article was originally written when Covid hit. We knew very little about the machinations of parts of our government that were working to enhance and spread Covid as far as possible. Now we even know a lot about our government’s hand in producing it and pushing the also dangerous vaccine on us. Some wondered why.
Since 1992, we, at American Policy Center have been pointing out that one of the major goals of Agenda2/Sustainable Development is to reduce the human population by over 90%. Yet many laugh and call us conspiracy theorists. What I don’t understand about this statement is that we had been hearing for decades that the world is overpopulated; that we will run out of space and room for everyone; that we can’t feed so many. At the same time that we were reading Paul Ehrlich’s Population Bomb and Population Explosion and the Club of Rome’s The Limits to Growth, America was being called the breadbasket of the world. Of the world!
We are TRULY living in a Bleak House!
Another one dictates what your fence can be made of, and a third sets how many square feet of window your house needs. A few spell out the dimensions of particular features down to a quarter of an inch.
The National Association of Home Builders, the trade group for the companies that build American homes, has been adding up what rules like these cost since 2011.
Its reasoning is simple: the country is short about 1.2 million homes, and rising regulatory costs are one of the things keeping builders from closing that gap. So anyone writing new rules ought to know what the existing ones already cost.
Government regulation now adds about $132,000 to the price of a new home.
That’s just over a quarter of the roughly $500,000 the average new house sold for in January. Continue reading
History is a beneficial way to learn. When schools cut back on history, society suffers. And we are suffering.
To all those 50 years of age and under, did you learn in school that the early American colonies were initially administered under socialism?
In the colonies of Jamestown and Plymouth, a communal labor system or agricultural socialism was used. Land was held collectively, and produce was distributed equally regardless of individual effort. Continue reading
Virtually everyone agrees that our public schools are in a state of decline. Needless to say, it isn’t because we aren’t spending enough money. The federal government, our state governments and our local governments are collectively spending nearly a trillion dollars a year on public education. That is a colossal pile of money. Since 1960, spending per student has increased by 350 percent. That is even after adjusting for inflation. At this stage, we spend more money per student than any other nation on the entire planet other than Luxembourg. Anyone that believes that we can solve our education crisis by spending even more money is simply being delusional.
For nearly a trillion dollars a year, we should be getting a world class education system.
