One of the more common criticisms you’ll hear about the modern American left is that the group truly has no meaningful or tangible direction outside of opposing all things President Donald Trump. It’s beating a dead horse at this point, but the whole joke that the Democratic platform can be summed up by “Orange Man Bad” gets proven more true by the day. In fact, a viral video has been making the rounds of late, highlighting just how much CNN stands for nothing apart from opposition to Trump. And the video’s creator only needed 44 seconds to prove their point:…

A federal judge on Monday dismissed President Donald J. Trump’s defamation lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal, finding that he failed to meet the high legal standard required for public figures to pursue such claims.Trump’s lawsuit stemmed from a July 17, 2025, Wall Street Journal article reporting that Trump’s name appeared on a 2003 birthday greeting for Jeffrey Epstein, the late financier and convicted sex offender.

Watching the left wing media present their version of what’s going on in our war with Iran can truly make you wonder whose side they are on, with completely one-sided reports, show segments, and entire shows.

Almost no one in the liberal media was stupid enough to put their neck out for Congressman Eric Swalwell (D-CA) following the flood of sexual misconduct allegations timed to sink his dream of being governor. But no one in their right mind had ever accused ABC moderator Whoopi Goldberg of being smart.

Introduction: The Choke Points Are Closing, and It’s By Design As I survey the geopolitical landscape with each passing day, the unthinkable is becoming a daily reality. The Strait of Hormuz, the critical artery for global energy and fertilizer shipments, is effectively closed. [1] Tankers attempting to traverse the Strait have faced severe consequences, being blown up, destroyed, or sunk. As a result, insurance is virtually unattainable for vessels seeking passage. [2] This isn’t a temporary supply hiccup; it’s a deliberate tremor of a global energy collapse — an engineered crisis. [3] I believe we must discard the lens of conventional geopolitics. The real lens…
