​For all the media hand-wringing over the government shutdown the fact is only approximately 750,000 of the over two million non-military federal workers are being furloughed. Most federal programs will continue operating, including the major entitlement and welfare programs. The national parks will remain open, if understaffed and with closed visitor centers. Unfortunately, the shutdown will not affect the military-industrial complex.

President Trump is considering "stimulus" checks (again). We should all remember the last time that President Trump sent out "stimulus" checks. It was the "CARES Act," which ignited the massive inflation that we're still suffering from today. How can a government that has no money, because it racks up record deficits, be in a position to give out "rebates" anyway? Tariffs (that Americans overwhelmingly pay) don't put the government books into the black. The government is way in the red. Why tax ...

Israel had long complained that Gen Z was disproportionately critical of Israel on TikTok. The forced sale to ultra pro-Israel businessman Larry Ellison has already reportedly resulted in a shift in tone. Is this a US government violation of the First Amendment? Watch Here

​In my first column after the events of Jan. 6th, 2021, I criticized those who called the protest a “coup,” pointing out that, “Some of the same politicians and bureaucrats denouncing the ridiculous farce at the Capitol as if it were the equivalent of 9/11 have been involved for decades in planning and executing real coups overseas. In their real coups, many thousands of civilians have died.”

The media at the time played up the violence committed by a relative few at the protest to sto...

On the sidelines of the UN General Assembly meeting, President Trump met with Arab and Muslim leaders to tell them that he would not allow Israel to annex the West Bank. Should they believe him? Also today: Zelensky's "charm offensive"? Watch Here

President Trump's post yesterday on Truth Social left most Ukraine war watchers speechless, as he claimed that Ukraine could not only take back all of its country from Russia but "perhaps even more."
