As of April 2026, the United States feels like it’s juggling a few too many flaming swords—some overseas, some right here at home.
A fragile (and slightly confusing) ceasefire situation with Iran is hovering over the Strait of Hormuz, one of the most important oil chokepoints in the world. Meanwhile, political drama stateside is doing its best to keep up.
Now, thanks to Governor Abigail Spanberger and her Democrat crew, it’s looking a lot more like “Virginia is for Backstabbers“.
Today, April 21st, Virginians head to the polls for a special redistricting referendum. Many Republican voters who helped put Spanberger in office as a supposed “moderate” are waking up with a knife in their backs. She campaigned as a reasonable Democrat focused on kitchen-table issues.

In our society, we do not push psychopaths off the ice when nobody is looking. In our society, we let them rule the world.
If there were a thousand people living on an island, and one of them began making life miserable for everyone else, there would soon be 999 people living on the island.
How strange, then, that a few oligarchs and empire managers get to push around an entire planet full of humans. Continue reading
Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum issued a chilling warning about a potential terrorist attack on the Statue of Liberty as the U.S. marks the 250th anniversary of its independence.
Speaking during a news conference in New York, Burgum lauded the U.S. Park Police, the oldest federal agency in the country, discussing their integral role in American history.
As he spoke about their work protecting the Statue of Liberty – one of America’s most iconic landmarks – he noted that it appears in images on most terrorist recruiting sites, warning that it could become the target of an attack one day.
“The Statue of Liberty, by the way, is the most featured image on terrorist recruiting sites,” Burgum said. “It’s the thing that, if someone could wreck our 250th anniversary…”
He went on to say that the U.S. Park Police screens over 4 million people who visit the monument each year before they board the iconic ferry that takes them to the island on which it sits.
“They protect the National Mall, the Golden Gate Recreation Area, but when you’re here on this ground today, at least 26,000 acres, the law enforcement for this national recreation is not the Metro – it’s not New York. It’s the U.S Park Police,” he said. Continue reading

L.M. Slackens: The Yellow Press, showing William Randolph Hearst as a jester handing out newspapers, published by Keppler & Schwarzmann, October 12, 1910 ~ Library of Congress
On August 15, 1945, after two of their cities had been obliterated by the world’s first nuclear weapons, the people of Japan heard the voice of their young Emperor for the first time ever.
Hirohito went on what was a relatively new communications medium at the time – the radio – and gave one of the most bizarre speeches in all of human history, in which he told his subjects that “the war situation has developed not necessarily to Japan’s advantage.”
Talk about an understatement. Continue reading
Based on the above, I recommend to everyone to read Banking 1770 and Onward
As always, most interesting and cogent. Since the ” World Religion” has been in operation for over 300 years, not including the Islamic ” religion”, is it possible that a mis-reading of the tea leaves is possible. – meantime I found this little tidbit, at the bottom of a Graphic noting the ongoing Regionalizing of the American Continent:
As this is just questioning the narrative, anyone for that matter, this is also known, concerning the Banking operations historically. Continue reading
Saturday, March 28, 2026, NoKings held another ‘protest’ in Spokane, apparently three months in the making, obviously not spontaneous but planned. Present, it seems, were the gaggle of news outlets representing the various alphabet soup of national news media organizations ABC, CBS, NBC, and undoubtedly cable news outlets connected therewith.
Since early 2025, these news outlets have been doing everything in their power to incite violence against federal law enforcement personnel whose job it is to remove illegal aliens from the United States to keep American citizens and communities safe.
The fact that these news outlets have been instrumental in inciting the violence against federal law enforcement personnel is something they try to cage in terms of “reporting the news”. Continue reading
America has been drifting away from its founding constitutional principles, a decay made possible by the patient, incremental strategy of “shifting baselines.” The enemies of limited government understand that the gradual erosion of liberty is far more effective than a sudden assault. What the Founding Fathers designed as a government of limited, enumerated powers has morphed into a sprawling administrative state with virtually unlimited authority, precisely because each generation accepts the overreach of the previous one as the new normal.

Calling on the U.S. to deport 100 million people, a former Texas county GOP chair says Americans have good reason to openly embrace Islamophobia.
The Texas Tribune reports that during a “Don’t Sharia My Texas” panel at the recent Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), Bo French, a former Tarrant County GOP chair and a current candidate for state railroad commissioner, said something he was sure would make people uncomfortable: Islam is a problem.
“I think there is the sense that we are losing our culture, our American culture, our Christian culture,” he later told American Family Radio. “The president ran on a platform of mass deportations. By estimates, there are roughly 100 million people in the country who probably shouldn’t be here. What we do with those, I don’t know, but certainly mass deporting a good chunk of those would be helpful.” Continue reading
President Trump has never had problems firing people – even his friends – and now Pam Bondi is the latest cabinet member to be rolled away on his Disassembly Line.
Trump already fired Jeff Sessions and he should have fired William Barr, but the latter sensed what was coming and resigned first. Sessions recused himself from the Russia investigation early on, earning the nickname “Mr. Magoo.”
He frustrated Trump with what many saw as weakness against the Deep State. William Barr defended the president publicly, but did nothing to support him. Later, he wrote a tell-all book claiming Trump was ‘off the rails.” Five others either resigned or were fired during Trump’s first term. Continue reading
It is the 5th of April, 2026, and it is around 1:40 am. I have been laying wide awake in bed for nearly an hour with an idea, a thought, that would not leave me alone; hence the reason I am once again sitting behind this keyboard. Before I get to the thought itself, there is something I need to say.
There is an individual who sometimes responds to my blogposts who has berated me in the past for the manner in which I write; my constant use of the first person singular when I say things. This individual says it sounds like I am making this all about me; that I am saying that I am right, and anyone who disagrees with me is wrong. While this is just a single case of that happening, it does bring up a point; what I am actually doing here… Continue reading
In a speech at a private lunch Wednesday billed as a celebration of Easter, President Donald Trump told the White House budget chief he wants the federal government to spend money on the military, not social services like child care and health care, which he said states should pay for by raising taxes.
“We’re fighting wars; we can’t take care of day care,” the president said. “It’s not possible for us to take care of day care, Medicaid, Medicare – all these individual things.”
After posting a video of the closed-door event, in which Trump’s spiritual adviser compared him to Jesus Christ, the White House deleted it. But if the administration was sheepish about those funding priorities, it made them explicit Friday by publishing the president’s budget request to Congress for the fiscal year that begins in October.
Sen. Patty Murray, the top Democrat on the Senate Appropriations Committee, has to sign off on the spending bills that require bipartisan support to become law each year. That makes the relatively low-profile Washington lawmaker arguably the most powerful Democrat in the federal government at a time when her party has precious little leverage in the nation’s capital. In a statement Friday, she called the future envisioned by Trump’s budget request “bleak and unacceptable… (Continue to full article)
Despite President Trump’s controversial tariff-launching “Liberation Day” being just over a year old — and with the legality of most of those tariffs stricken down by the Supreme Court — the Trump administration surprised the nation on Liberation Day’s first anniversary by announcing new tariffs on many brand-name drugs manufactured outside of the United States. This is a move that could, in the short term, radically increase the prices of your medication.
Trump’s plan? To levy a 100% tariff on pharmaceutical companies that manufacture drugs in foreign countries, rather than in America. It’s a policy designed to reshape the pharmaceutical industry in the long-term by incentivizing American manufacturing and price concessions, with large drug companies being given 120 days (and smaller companies 180 days) to negotiate the construction of American-based pharmaceutical plants to avoid the tariffs.
Some major pharmaceutical companies — like Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson — have already begun negotiations. Others, however, have yet to make a deal with the administration… (Continue to full article)
There’s a moment in every failed strongman’s story when the noise fades, the flunkies fall silent and slip from the throne room one final time before the shooting starts. There’s a moment where the court jesters stop laughing at the Dear Leader’s every joke, and when reality comes crashing through the gilded walls like a breaching charge. There’s a moment when the loyal bodyguard’s eyes flicker with some new signal, and the dictator wonders if the tools of oppression and brutality will be turned on him.
For Donald Trump, that moment isn’t coming someday.
It’s here.
Nothing will save you now, Donald!!! (Continue to full article)
To sell their drugs, pharmaceutical companies hire former cheerleaders and ex- models to wine and dine doctors, exaggerate the drug’s …
Throughout President Donald Trump’s second term, he has made it very clear that he plans to protect Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security, but some of his actions have contradicted that promise. This includes the Medicaid cuts outlined in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act and his tariffs, which have made it difficult for seniors to feel financially stable. Now, President Trump says he’s considering cutting national funding for Medicare and Medicaid to help fund the war with Iran. We share exactly what he said, and if he’s allowed to make the cuts.
Young punks don’t like driving the same vehicles that their parents drove. This was evident when drivers embraced the minivan as the anti-station wagon in the 1980s and 90s, and again when SUVs rose to prominence in the 2000s in an effort to get away from the uncoolness of minivans. So what’s coming next?… (Continue to full article)
Good news, everybody – Still no kings here in America.
Just a whole lot of clowns… and an alarming number of jokers.
One big, beautiful, tent where BOTH the left and right gather their best freaks and frauds to dazzle and distract us to death.
Protests in the public streets.
Procrastination in the elected seats. I’m looking at you, Congress.
Humph. Just bloody brilliant! Continue reading
You don’t have to look very hard these days to see widespread criticism of the conflict in Iran.
Obviously, there are the usual suspects like the New York Times and Washington Post who have called it “folly” and “rotten”. But plenty of voices on the right have joined in the criticism as well.
Tucker Carlson calls it “absolutely disgusting and evil”. Thomas Massie says it is “not America First”. Joe Rogan says it’s “insane”. Joe Kent, formerly the Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, resigned his post because Iran was not “an imminent threat” and there was no “clear path to a swift victory”. Continue reading
I’m tired.
Not of the fight. Not of the debate. Not even of the opposition.
I’m tired of the excuses.
For weeks now, we’ve been told – again and again – that passing the SAVE America Act is just too difficult. Too complicated. Too procedurally burdensome. Too politically risky.
“It’s an arduous task,” they say.
Good. It should be. Because saving America has never been easy. And the sooner the United States Senate remembers that, the better. Continue reading
I felt inspired to write something totally different today – a poem – though I think it fits the feeling of these times. – David Haggith
The grass leans lightly away from the wind,
as the light grows dim in the once-golden fields,
now gray at the fall of day.
The song of evening bird cries across the plain,
and the earth waits to receive a rain
long in coming. Continue reading
We have reached an unprecedented moment in human history. If this war with Iran continues for an extended period of time, we will be facing the greatest energy disruption in human history and the greatest food production disruption in human history simultaneously. Many were hoping that Iran would agree to the Trump administration’s proposal for a 30 day ceasefire, but it was obvious that was never going to happen.
The Iranians have completely rejected Trump’s 15 point plan, and they are demanding that the U.S. must agree to permanent Iranian sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz before any negotiations even begin. Needless to say, the U.S. will never agree to that, and so the war will rage on.
For now, Iran is determining which vessels are allowed to travel through the Strait of Hormuz… Continue reading
The RINOs (Republicans In Name Only) and DINOs (Democrats In Name Only) are circling the Capitol dome like it’s feeding time at the world’s most expensive zoo. In front of the cameras, the big beasts growl and posture. But on main street, the frustrated voters are losing it: “DARN RINOs!” “DARN DINOs!” Continue reading
