The June 25 NY City rank-choice Mayoral Primary victory of Democrat (and socialist) state Assembly member Zohran Mamdani has been receiving applause for his economic policies in pop media circles. Take, for example, CBS News, NY, which heralded his “community” organization and cozy message that stressed “affordability” – which, of course, is code for government welfarism and subsidies, price…

Even after Elon Musk’s late May departure from the Department of Government Efficiency (an oxymoron that provides a key insight into one of the major drawbacks of government), DOGE has announced the termination of 312 federal contracts, yielding savings of $470 million. The cancellations -- including a $286,000 Department of Defense contract and a $485,000 USAID contract -- could be hailed as…

For over a thousand years, the seal of confession has stood as an inviolable pillar of Catholic doctrine. Priests are bound to absolute secrecy about sins disclosed during the sacrament of reconciliation, under penalty of excommunication—a sanction so grave it underscores the Church’s commitment to the penitent’s trust. Yet SB 5375 mandates that clergy report confessions that openly admit to, or…

One of California’s top storytellers is repeating a troubling performance. Indeed, in a June 20 X post, California Governor Gavin Newsom not only set the table to blame Trump, he employed slippery stats that can mislead readers, writing: “Donald Trump isn’t just threatening CA’s disaster aid, he’s also pushing for dangerous cuts ahead of wildfire season — A 63% REDUCTION in the U.S. Forest…

Stephen King is famous for making up tall tales. From “Salem’s Lot” – a tale about politicians sucking the lifeblood out of Maine locals (just kidding) – to “Christine” (a story reminiscent of Richard Matheson’s legendary “Duel”) with its possessed, self-driving car, he’s spun words better than many political speechwriters to deliver pretend messages that have thrilled and chilled millions.…

The Global Engagement Center (GEC), has received from a judge another extension of its vampiric, censorious life. As Dan Frieth reports for ReclaimTheNet, the multi-million-dollar-per-year leech is part of the Executive Branch, and, after the GOP supposedly defunded in the last National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), President Trump in February issued an Executive Order to end the GEC (…

Mainstream media’s dominant leftist ideology, and their selective lenses -- their awkward, brutish, ignorant attempts to hide information that damns big government -- are obvious and inseparable. Case in point: the dominant left-wing television networks’ hand-wringing over Congress possibly turning off the decades-long money spigot to United States Agency for International Development (USAID…

Florida Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz appears to love collectivism so much, she thinks your kids are hers. In fact, that’s some of the same sentiment behind her push to keep shoveling tax cash at PBS. We all know that the government has be our "educator." If the government doesn’t take your money under the threat of arrest and property seizure and hand it to leftist ideologues at PBS to…

Systemic media bias can present us with many unanswerable questions, and the unanimous U.S. Supreme Court decision recognizing a Wisconsin Catholic Charity right to go tax-free brings one of the big questions to mind. What one wonders is if MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, and PBS barely covered the June 5 unanimous court decision acknowledging religious liberty because the leftist media love tax…
