Joe Wilson Was Right

OBBBA Cuts Expose Obamacare's Fungible Funds In 2009, Rep. Joe Wilson yelled “You lie” during Obama’s speech to Congress, disputing claims that the Affordable Care Act (ACA) wouldn’t cover illegal immigrants. The Left slammed his outburst as rude, insisting Obama was right—ACA’s text bars illegal immigrants from federal benefits. Yet, the 2025 One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) proves Wilson foresaw the truth. The ACA’s fungible funds let states cover illegal immigrants, and the Left’s outcry over OBBBA cuts reveals their contradiction: they defend “what isn’t happening” while admitting it’s been happening. The ACA’s 2014 Medicaid expansion gave states a deal:…

The Great Betrayal

Obama, Brennan, Comey, and Clapper Undermined 2016 Election Trust The Cover-Up Begins Declassified documents expose a shocking conspiracy by Barack Obama, John Brennan, James Comey, and James Clapper to shatter American confidence in the 2016 election. Burying evidence of its integrity, they fueled the fabricated Russiagate saga. Today’s ODNI press release, Tulsi Gabbard’s timeline, Fox News, and the Daily Caller deliver irrefutable proof. Their legacy? Treachery. The December 8, 2016, PDB, declassified today, declared: "Russian and criminal actors did not impact recent US election results via cyber-attacks." Echoed by August 31, 2016, DHS findings of no vote manipulation intent (Page 1)…

Friday Fakes

Trump-Epstein Letter vs. Bush TANG Memos: Media Bias Parallels The Wall Street Journal’s (WSJ) July 18, 2025, story alleging a 2003 "bawdy birthday letter" from Donald Trump to Jeffrey Epstein, which Trump calls a “FAKE” and threatens to sue over, mirrors the 2004 CBS “Bush TANG memos” scandal. The WSJ claims a letter in Ghislaine Maxwell’s album but hasn’t produced it, with Karoline Leavitt stating the WSJ admitted lacking it. Conservative outlets (HotAir, Townhall, RedState, PJ Media, Power Line, Breitbart, Twitchy) label it a smear, citing reporter Joe Palazzolo’s ties to Main Justice, linked to Fusion GPS’s discredited Steele dossier for…

The Wrong Bill at the Wrong Time

The Dignity Act: The Wrong Bill at the Wrong Time   In the wake of the 2024 election, where voters decisively backed President Donald Trump’s promise of stringent immigration enforcement and mass deportation, the Dignity for Immigrants while Guarding our Nation to Ignite and Deliver the American Dream Act of 2025 (DIGNIDAD Act, H.R. 4393) emerges as a profound misstep. This bipartisan bill, while cloaked in the language of reform and compassion, undermines the Trump administration’s core immigration agenda, defies the electorate’s mandate, and risks repeating the failures of the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (IRCA, or Simpson-Mazzoli Act).…

America Needs an Interest Rate Cut Now

Time for a Rate Cut: Powell’s Inaction Is Costing American Families and Small Businesses The Federal Reserve, under Chair Jerome Powell, is once again dragging its feet, and American families and small businesses are paying the price. The June 2025 Producer Price Index (PPI) report, released July 16, 2025, shows inflation cooling-flat month-over-month and 2.3% year-over-year, below the expected 2.5%. Coupled with a flat June Consumer Price Index (CPI) at 3.0% year-over-year, the data screams for a rate cut now, not in September or Q4. Powell’s history of missteps-too slow to raise rates during the “Bidenflation” surge of 2021-2022 and now…

A Biblical Case for New Christian Zionism

Defending Israel’s Role Without Dispensationalism   As Christians navigate the complex intersection of theology and geopolitics, few topics spark as much debate as Zionism-the belief in the Jewish people’s right to a homeland in the land of Israel. Gerald McDermott’s article in The Federalist (July 15, 2025) offers a compelling thesis: Christians can support Zionism without adhering to dispensationalist theology, a framework often associated with end-times scenarios like the rapture. McDermott’s New Christian Zionism proposes a biblically grounded perspective that affirms Israel’s ongoing role in God’s redemptive plan, rooted in a plain reading of Scripture rather than apocalyptic speculation. This thought…

Be Careful What You Wish For

The Epstein Files and the Perils of Hype The clamor for Jeffrey Epstein’s so-called “files” has turned X into a circus of absurdity, where the least intelligent takes peddle fantasies so outlandish they’d make a conspiracy theorist blush. Users like @SpartaJustice dream of a secret “client list” exposing a global elite cabal, as if Epstein maintained a villainous Rolodex. Others, like @Jason_Jorjani, spin tales of Mossad-orchestrated blackmail, conjuring plots straight out of a dime-store novel. These takes are pure drivel, thriving on outrage rather than evidence. They cling to the delusion of a single document unveiling a grand conspiracy, ignoring the…

Creaturehood in a Modern Age

Rooted in Essence: Creaturehood and the Call to Stay Grounded in a Modern Age In an era where butter-making machines and self-driving cars promise efficiency, the lingering preference for churning butter by hand, pumping water from a well, or solving equations manually strikes a poignant note. This list of choices-favoring stairs over elevators, hand-grinding coffee over automatic grinders, and visiting the post office instead of emailing-whispers a deeper truth about creaturehood, a theme woven through the fabric of American literature and art. As we embrace technology to boost productivity, the literary legacy of figures like Robert Frost, Norman Rockwell, and a…
