So who will vet the vetters?Certainly not Matthew Yglesias who had an opinion piece in the New York Times less than a month ago, June 17, in which he enthuses so much over the one who supposedly vetted Graham Platner, Daniel Moraff (pictured), that it comes off as The Adoration of the Moraff as you can read in "The Democrats Need Better Candidates. This Guy Knows How to Find Them."Love is in the air as Yglesias merrily gushes over Moraff, the one whom many/most Democrats are furious at for perhaps ruining their chances of taking the Senate in the midterm...

On the heels of Atlantic magazine's prominent writer Jonathan Chait panicking about communists taking over the Democrat party, he went full blast five days later on Monday torching the party enablers of Graham Platt in "With Graham Platner, Democrats Got Drunk on the Beer Test." Specifically Chait blasted those who performed the laughably lame vetting of Platner as well as those who continued to promote him despite the many scandals that erupted around him.Chait's first blast was directed at Morris Katz, whose unbelievably weak vetting of Platner in the first place ultimately led to the Democrats being in the unenviable...

I finally retrieved a flag that had been stuck in a tree in a nearby town for a year or more. (Sadly, it took me a long time to do this.) It is in very bad condition. So now what do I do with it? I am 50 miles from any American Legion. Should I mail it to them?

RealRobert@Real_RobNAnd this is,The Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, John Ratcliffe:Barack Hussein Obama said ‘I want this done,’ ” I want to overthrow the United States government.@CIADirector“All the world can now see the truth: Brennan, Clapper and Comey manipulated intelligence and silenced career professionals — all to get Trump.”@CIADirector “This was Obama, Comey, Clapper and Brennan deciding ‘We’re going to screw Trump. We’re going to create this and put the imprimatur of an IC assessment in a way that nobody can question it.’ They stamped it as Russian collusion and then classified it so nobody could see it.”New York post...

The host of the popular 2Way politics channel Mark Halperin described it as the "biggest story of the last 50 years" yet many liberals remain blissfully unaware of it, because most of the media in their comfortable bubble have completely avoided it despite its shocking nature. It was about the release by former Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, of numerous files implicating Dr. Anthony Fauci in a massive coverup of his role in the Covid crises including lying to Congress.Although this story was avoided by most (if not all) the liberal media, the New York Post made the revelations...

The gasoline prices in the wake of the Iran War agreement are PLUNGING even faster than I expected. Sorry naysayers. According to Gas Buddy, the gasoline price for Regular has fallen to $2.89 per gallon at a RaceTrac gas station in the Lauderdale Lakes section of Broward County. Other gas stations will have to follow suit soon.

The media offers Americans and the world endless speculation about the war in Iran. They debate President Trump’s plan. They debate what others are saying, especially our allies like NATO. The endless debate goes all the way to the pope. They ask the cardinals and the pope what they think of the war. It seems like the Pope is not really happy with President Trump or the war in Iran at this point in time I’m not trying to sound exclusive. I don’t think I’m a know-it-all. In fact, sometimes I wonder if I know anything, but for certain I,...

Before Angel Studios released the animated movie David late last year, it released an animated movie based on the life of Jesus Christ, called The King of Kings, around Easter. The movie did remarkably well at the box office, and it was a movie that sparked my curiosity due to the fact that its approach was different in the sense that it was framed by how Charles Dickens taught the account of Jesus Christ to his kids. The Story: The movie opens up during the part of Charles Dickens A Christmas Carol, where the character of Ebenezer Scrooge, the self-absorbed...

Iran has been at war with the United States and Israel for 47 years now. We didn’t start it; they did. But we are finally getting around to finishing it. In the first week of the 2026 action, we demolished over 3000 major targets in Iran, largely succeeding at the goal of decapitating the mullahs’ regime and eliminating their military capacity. Our airstrikes are rapidly wiping out their launch sites, their arms factories, their air force and naval vessels, while making a valiant effort to do all this without causing innocent civilian casualties. (As in any war, there are going...

We need to wakeup Senator John Thune. The Save America Act is America's last Chance. If he could get it passed he would become a hero. This bill is common sense. If the democrats win again, Filibuster is gone. If he loves America, he needs to make this his number one passion. Any ideas to wakeup him up. I mean not to say how bad he is but how to change his mind. Maybe a march for Thune. Real ideas, please. Please pray that God would change his mind.

Today, the most important developments come from the Huliaipole direction. Here, north of the main stronghold, Ukrainian forces have broken through Russian positions and are expanding their advance. Russian defenses began to fall apart more quickly than anticipated, allowing even deeper penetration by Ukrainian forces. Recently, the Ukrainian command reported restoring control over more than 400 square kilometers through counterattacks, while daily combat intensity in the direction has reached roughly fifty engagements per day. As Ukrainian forces regain control over key terrain, they improve their ability to observe Russian movement, making it harder for Russian forces to reposition without being...

He described US President Donald Trump as 'the perfect symbol of plunder' Larijani also saying: "America and the Zionist regime burned the hearts of the Iranian nation, and we will burn their hearts too" The Iranian attacks continued mid-morning on Qatar and Dubai in the United Arab Emirates.

With Bill and Hillary Clinton giving their depositions to the US House Government Oversight Committee over Clinton ties to Jeffrey Epstein a man known as a 'financier' I am certainly reminded of those "Clinton Years" of the 1990's. Those years punctuated by financial questions about the Clinton's from the 'cattle futures' windfall for Hillary to the Whitewater project questions surrounding them and those infamous Rose Law Firm billing records. But in the end it was all for nought as a probe of the Clinton's centered on financial wrongdoing descended into the pit of Bill Clinton's illicit sexual relationships and his...

On X there are a great many genuine posts and truth be known, the news tends to show up on X before it does on television. The problem is you need to sort out the truth from the nonsense, and there is a great deal of nonsense. In vetting with that nonsense, Grok is a treasure. Liberals, AWFULs in particular, are well known for their trafficking in untruths. For example- In her profile Suzie Rizzio describes herself this wayI’m a small town beach girl that loves politics & fostering animals! She posted this yesterday: Fact Check by Mike NetterThe incident...

Back in 2016, I, along with a lot of people, made the argument that that election was critical to the future of the country. It was and America made the right choice. I made the same argument in 2020 and while America made the right choice the Democrats ran a coup d'état and we suffered through four years of watching whoever was controlling Joe Biden basically run the country into the ground. Then, two years ago I made the same argument, that basically, if America made the wrong choice the Republic was going to soon find its end. Thankfully America...
