The MAGA movement, fueled by pride in what America can once again be and a rejection of elitist betrayal, has propelled Republicans to control Congress and the White House. This triumph, born from grassroots outrage against Washington's corrupt swamp, presents the party with a historic opportunity to purge the system of its toxins.

Yet, power exposes true character. If Republicans squander this MAGA-forged mandate by failing to deliver on the promises that brought them to power—much like they did in betraying the Tea Party, they will incinerate their political capital, betraying the American people and hurling the party into an abyss darker than the Democrats' self-inflicted exile.

The electorate, awakened by MAGA's clarion call, demands action—not excuses—from those who dare to call themselves reformers.

Crucially—like the Reagan Revolution and the Tea Party after that, the MAGA movement isn't only about Donald Trump; it transcends him. So, too, it is not about the Republican Party; it eclipses it. The MAGA movement embodies a vast, enduring populist force of millions of Americans—Right, Center, and Left—demanding systemic overhaul beyond any single leader or party, something those afflicted with Trump Derangement Syndrome or poisoned by the toxic-Left’s neo-Marxism don’t even begin to comprehend.

Again, the MAGA movement, comprised of genuine, hard-working, and honest Americans, exists as a group that demands the reformations we were promised in 2024, and have been promised in every contemporary election since 1992.

The Deep State bureaucracy, that insidious, unaccountable leviathan of entrenched parasites, must be eviscerated without mercy. This shadowy cabal of unelected tyrants in agencies like the FBI, CIA, DOJ, and EPA throttles freedom with endless red tape, siphoning trillions from hardworking taxpayers to feed its insatiable appetite.

Take the FBI's Crossfire Hurricane farce, a witch hunt built on fabricated intel that wasted millions while trampling civil rights. Or the EPA's grotesque Waters of the United States rule, which absurdly labels farm ditches as "navigable waters," crushing small landowners with punitive fines and bureaucratic nightmares. Employing over 2 million civilians in redundant fiefdoms—like overlapping health programs in HHS and VA—this monster exemplifies spendthrift politicians' complicity in fiscal carnage, ballooning deficits while stifling growth.

The 2024 Republican platform, echoing MAGA's roar, vowed to "demolish the Deep State" by firing obstructionists and slashing budgets. So far, President Trump has held to his promise. But, if Republicans hesitate—as they are wont to do, they will perpetuate this leeching horror, proving themselves no better than the wasteful elites they condemned, and inviting voter fury that could erase their gains.

The federal tax system, a monstrous income-based extortion racket engineered by corrupt insiders, screams for abolition in favor of fairer alternatives. This progressive nightmare, with brackets peaking at 37% for incomes over $578,125, savages producers while carving loopholes for billionaires like Jeff Bezos, who game deductions to pay zilch as middle-class families endure audit terror. It's a tool for spendthrift politicians to fund their pork-barrel excesses, inflating inequality and killing incentives.

Republicans, riding MAGA's economic populism, have pushed reforms like the FairTax Act of 2025, which would scrap the IRS—a den of abuse—and impose a national sales tax, repealing income, payroll, and estate taxes. While recent House bills extend the 2017 cuts, they cling to the flawed income tax model, falling short of the radical shift promised. Dithering here shields the corrupt elite, burdens families amid inflation, and exposes Republicans as hypocrites beholden to big donors and the lobbyists of K Street. The MAGA base won't tolerate such betrayal; it would fuel Democrat lies about GOP favoritism toward the rich.

And holding the corrupt accountable was mandated as a moral imperative, targeting the festering sores exposed in recent exposés that reveal elite depravity.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard's July declassification of over 230,000 pages unmasks Obama-era officials' treasonous fabrication of the Russia hoax, including distorted 2016 intelligence assessments claiming Putin's Trump favoritism despite contrary evidence. Figures like ex-CIA Director John Brennan and FBI's Peter Strzok, whose partisan venom poisoned probes, must face prosecution via the DOJ's strike force.

Likewise, the Epstein files, a cesspool of trafficking ties to scum like Bill Clinton and Prince Andrew, demand full release—yet the Republicans' hesitation reeks of self-preservation. This corruption, a cancer shielding predators through cover-ups, erodes faith in justice. MAGA's push for accountability must prevail; inaction would mark Republicans as enablers, splintering their coalition and inviting scandals that dwarf Democrat woes.

Government transparency, especially in law enforcement and intelligence dens of deceit, is sabotaged by veils that harbor abuse and must be torn asunder. The FBI and CIA hide behind classifications, as in FISA travesties where Carter Page's warrant rested on the bogus Steele dossier, violating rights in a blatant power grab. Warrantless NSA drags under Section 702 vacuum up the data of millions, while selective leaks fuel partisan hits.

To that end, the Republicans' 2025 Declassification Task Force pledges document dumps and FISA court livestreams, bolstering whistleblowers beyond feeble existing laws. But, without ruthless enforcement, this opacity will continue to breed a police state, courtesy of spendthrift politicians too craven to challenge the Deep State. MAGA voters crave daylight; evasion would unmask Republicans as authoritarians in disguise.

Traditionally, Republicans have been known to squander political opportunities to their own detriment. From the half-baked reforms of the 1994 Contract with America, which were derailed by infighting, to the 2017 tax tweaks that exacerbated deficits without an overhaul, the party has mastered self-sabotage. This simply cannot be the case this time.

Empowered by the MAGA movement's transformative energy—and combined with Trump’s “take a wrecking ball to it” style—Republicans must wield their majority like a sledgehammer, smashing these evils through bold legislation and abrupt reformative change. Victory and the courage to step outside the status quo will fortify their legacy. Status quo politicking and failure will vaporize trust, dooming the party to an oblivion bleaker than the Democrats' current state of despair.

In Closing…

As we wrap up today, let’s make it clear to our elected officials that they must reject Washington's status quo and insider games, where empty rhetoric and cozy deals betray voters.

The reform-driven mandate of the 2024 General Election demands action on promises like dismantling the Deep State, radically reforming the tax system, and holding the corrupt accountable. Failing to deliver risks obliterating trust, as Americans, fed up with elitist double-dealing, crave real change.

The status quo protects entrenched power, not the people. By honoring their campaign promises and stepping out of the swamp, Republicans can restore faith, proving they're not just another cog in the corrupt machine.

Until next time…

The stench of scandal surrounding Hillary Clinton and the Democrat Party has grown impossible to ignore, thanks to a bombshell House Intelligence Committee report declassified last week by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. This long-suppressed document, dated September 18, 2020, and locked away in a CIA vault until now, exposes a sordid tale of Russian intelligence gathering compromising material on Clinton—material that Vladimir Putin allegedly planned to weaponize against her had she won the 2016 presidential election.

The revelations not only shred the Democrats’ sanctimonious narrative about Russian interference but also lay bare the hypocrisy and machinations of the Clinton campaign and the Obama administration, which colluded to peddle a fabricated Russia-Trump hoax while ignoring their own vulnerabilities.

The report, spearheaded by former House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-CA) and championed for release by current Chairman Rick Crawford (R-AR), paints a damning picture. Russian intelligence, according to the document, had dirt on Clinton that would make a tabloid blush: allegations of “heavy tranquilizer” use, “uncontrolled fits of anger,” and a litany of health issues, including type 2 diabetes, ischemic heart disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and deep vein thrombosis.

Senior Democrat leaders, including then-President Barack Obama, reportedly found Clinton’s condition “extraordinarily alarming.” Yet, rather than addressing these vulnerabilities, the Obama administration and Clinton’s campaign buried the truth, projecting an image of strength while secretly trembling at the thought of Russia’s leverage.

What’s particularly galling is the Democrats’ audacity to scream “Russia collusion” at Donald Trump while Clinton was the one sitting on a powder keg of compromising material. The report reveals that Russia anticipated a Clinton victory and withheld this intelligence, planning to exploit it to manipulate her presidency. Far from favoring Trump, as the Democrats’ fevered narrative claimed, Russia saw Clinton as the softer target—a candidate they could “work with” because they “knew where she stood.” This directly contradicts the 2016 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA), which conveniently glossed over evidence of Russia’s preference for Clinton, pushing instead the now-debunked story of Trump as Putin’s puppet.

The hypocrisy is agonizingly infuriating. While Clinton’s team, with Obama’s blessing, bankrolled the infamous Steele dossier—a shoddy piece of opposition research riddled with fabrications—to smear Trump with baseless Russia ties, they ignored the real dirt in their own backyard. The dossier, funded through the law firm Perkins Coie and Fusion GPS, was a desperate attempt to distract from Clinton’s email scandal and paint Trump as a Kremlin stooge.

Meanwhile, Russian hackers had already breached the Democrat National Committee and Clinton campaign accounts, uncovering details about her health and secret deals with religious groups for campaign support. The Democrats’ deflection game was in full swing, and the Obama administration’s intelligence apparatus, led by figures like CIA Director John Brennan, played along, suppressing evidence that contradicted their preferred narrative.

Tulsi Gabbard’s declassification of this report, alongside other documents exposing the Obama administration’s role in laying the groundwork for the Trump-Russia collusion probe, is a seismic blow to the Democrats’ credibility. Gabbard, once smeared by her own party as a Russian asset, has turned the tables, revealing how Brennan and others “intentionally suppressed intelligence” about Clinton’s vulnerabilities. This wasn’t just negligence; it was a calculated effort to protect Clinton and push a false narrative to undermine Trump’s legitimacy. The declassified documents show that as early as July 2016, the CIA warned the FBI that the Steele dossier was a mix of Clinton campaign dirty tricks and Russian disinformation, yet the FBI pressed forward with its flawed Crossfire Hurricane investigation.

The Obama administration’s complicity is undeniable. Former FBI Director James Comey, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, and others were briefed on Russia’s intelligence about Clinton but chose to ignore it, focusing instead on amplifying the Steele dossier’s lies. House Intelligence Chairman Crawford didn’t mince words, accusing Obama of leading “the greatest perpetration of fraud” in history, with a web of allies who dismissed warnings about the dossier’s falsehoods. This wasn’t just a failure of leadership; it was a deliberate attempt to manipulate the 2016 election narrative, with Obama at the helm.

The Democrats’ sanctimonious posturing about election integrity rings hollow when you consider their own actions. Clinton’s campaign, aware of the Russia dirt-digging operation, didn’t just sit idly by—it actively fueled the Trump-Russia hoax. John Podesta, Clinton’s campaign chairman, admitted in 2017 testimony that both he and Clinton knew about the opposition research targeting Trump’s Russia ties, even if they feigned ignorance about specific vendors like Fusion GPS. This was a coordinated effort to deflect from Clinton’s own scandals, including her private email server, which US intelligence believed she used to distract the public by fabricating Trump-Russia ties.

The irony is sickeningly rich: while Democrats wailed about Russian interference, they were the ones playing a dangerous game with national security. Russia’s hacking of DNC and Clinton campaign accounts in 2016 exposed not just her health issues but also alleged schemes to trade State Department favors for campaign donations. Yet, instead of addressing these breaches, the Democrats doubled down on their anti-Trump crusade, with the Obama administration’s intelligence community complicit in covering up the truth.

Gabbard’s declassification has pulled back the curtain on a decade-long Democrat scheme to manipulate public perception and cling to power. The report’s release, coupled with ongoing criminal investigations into figures like Brennan and Comey, signals that accountability may finally be on the horizon. The American public deserves better than a party that hides its candidate’s weaknesses, fabricates scandals to smear opponents, and weaponizes intelligence agencies to subvert democracy. Clinton’s closet is open, and the stench of Democrat deceit is overwhelming.

Then, when we return, our segment on America’s Third Watch, broadcast nationally from our flagship station WGUL AM860 & FM93.7 in Tampa, Florida.

In Closing…

As we conclude today, let's take a second to reflect on the importance of standing up for the truth. This isn’t just a moral obligation. It’s a fundamental civic duty that strengthens the foundation of our society.

In an era where political expediency increasingly overshadows integrity, we must remain unwavering in our commitment to honesty, even when it challenges our personal or political interests. Political dishonesty erodes trust, fractures communities, and undermines the stability of our Republic.

We must all condemn such deceit unequivocally, as it betrays the public’s trust and jeopardizes the values that bind us.

By championing truth, we preserve the integrity of our society and ensure a future for our Republic that is built on trust and accountability. Let’s hold fast to this principle. Let’s foster a culture where honesty prevails over opportunistic and self-serving manipulation.

Until next time…

In a stunning vindication of long-held conservative suspicions, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard declassified explosive documents on July 18, 2025, exposing the Obama administration's deliberate fabrication of intelligence to sabotage Donald Trump's 2016 election victory and presidency. This "Russia hoax," as rightly dubbed by President Trump, was no mere bureaucratic error but a calculated deep-state conspiracy orchestrated by neo-Marxist elites to undermine the will of the American people.

From a constitutionalist perspective, this assault on our Constitution dwarfs any prior scandal, threatening the very foundations of our Republic. All Americans—Left, Center, and Right—must demand accountability to preserve the Separation of Powers, the rule of law, and the electoral integrity that our Founders enshrined.

The declassified memo reveals a December 9, 2016, meeting directed by Barack Obama himself, where top officials twisted pre-election intelligence— which confirmed no Russian cyber interference in vote tallies—into a false narrative of Moscow aiding Trump. This partisan plot, far from protecting national security, was designed to delegitimize a populist victory—mandated by the American people at the ballot box—and perpetuate the toxic-Left’s control of our government.

Key culprits in these crimes include:

* John Brennan (CIA Director) and James Clapper (Director of National Intelligence): These Obama loyalists spearheaded the January 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment, injecting debunked lies from the Clinton-funded Steele Dossier to fabricate collusion claims.

* John Kerry (Secretary of State): He lent bogus diplomatic weight to the hoax, escalating needless tensions with Russia to cover their tracks.

* Susan Rice (National Security Advisor): Infamous for unmasking Trump team members in surveillance reports for political gain, she attended the meeting and helped sustain the deception.

* Hillary Clinton: As the sore loser of 2016, she bankrolled the Steele Dossier and pushed its falsehoods to media allies, fueling years of witch hunts against Trump.

* Loretta Lynch (Attorney General): Present at the cabal's gathering, she turned a blind eye to the weaponization of the Justice Department, enabling corrupt FISA abuses.

* James Comey (FBI Director) and Andrew McCabe (FBI Deputy Director): Comey knowingly briefed Trump on the tainted dossier, while McCabe led the sham Crossfire Hurricane investigation, riddled with lies and omissions as exposed by Durham.

* Valerie Jarrett (Senior Advisor): Obama's shadowy puppet-master, she provided strategic cover to keep the hoax alive through leaks and obstructions.

These figures committed grave offenses: fabricating intelligence, perjury before Congress, and conspiracy to defraud the nation, all while hiding behind their oaths of office. Whistleblowers and Gabbard's revelations confirm what we've known: this was a neo-Marxist coup attempt.

By comparison, Richard Nixon's Watergate was child's play—a clumsy break-in and cover-up by overzealous aides that led to his rightful resignation. But the Obama crew's scheme was infinitely worse: a full-scale hijacking of America's intelligence apparatus to overthrow an electoral mandate.

From a constitutionalist perspective, these actions violated Article I and Article III of the US Constitution by blurring the lines between Executive, Judicial, and Legislative realms, thereby paralyzing Trump's agenda with baseless probes. The fallout? Deepened national divisions, with polls showing eroded trust in elections, culminating in the stolen 2020 narrative and January 6 smears against patriots. It wasted billions in taxpayer dollars on Mueller's farce, strained alliances by fabricating foreign threats, and emboldened real enemies like China while conservatives fought shadows. Unlike Watergate's swift justice, this unchecked abuse has normalized Deep-State tyranny, threatening future elections and the peaceful transfer of power our Constitution demands.

This wasn't just misconduct—it's treason under Article III, Section 3: aiding domestic enemies by waging a covert war on the Republic's electoral integrity. Gabbard calls it a "treasonous conspiracy," and a majority of Americans (53 percent, by most counts) agree: Obama and his cronies subverted the people's will to cling to power, effectively coup-plotting against Trump.

The consequences of these actions are nothing short of a direct threat to our nation:

* They inflamed US-Russia relations, risking nuclear brinkmanship

* They diverted focus from genuine threats like the open border invasions and trade-based economic sabotage by globalists

* Nationally, it fractured unity, breeding cynicism that the toxic-Left exploits to push socialist agendas

* Military morale plummeted amid politicized intel

* And allies doubted America's resolve, weakening our constitutional role as a beacon of freedom.

If unpunished, this sets a precedent for endless hoaxes against legitimate administrations, facilitating the erosion of our nation into a banana-republic state ruled by unelected bureaucrats.

Deceiving Americans with manufactured intel was the ultimate abuse of power, betraying oaths to defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. It trampled the Fourth Amendment through illegal spying on Trump associates and the First Amendment by chilling free speech via media-fueled smears.

The ripple effects? Voter disillusionment, with millions questioning democracy's fairness, paving the way for Leftist fraud in 2020. Taxpayers footed $32 million for Mueller alone, while the hoax distracted from Obama's real scandals, like the IRS targeting of conservatives. Globally, it tarnished US credibility, inviting mockery from adversaries.

Constitutionalists see this as a direct attack on limited government, fostering authoritarianism where elites manipulate truth to suppress voices and values.

Brennan, Clapper, Kerry, Rice, Clinton, Lynch, Comey, Jarrett, and McCabe, along with Barack Obama, must face full prosecution for conspiracy, treason, and perjury—anything less mocks the Constitution. Americans from across the political spectrum demand this to deter future deep-state coups and reaffirm no one is above the law, as our Founders intended. Inaction would only embolden the Constitution-hating, toxic-Left to attempt to rig 2028, perpetuating division and vulnerability.

Prosecution heals by exposing the truth, rebuilding trust through trials that honor constitutional due process. Gabbard's DoJ referral is a start, but swift indictments are essential to safeguarding our rights, our Constitution, and our American principles…not to mention the Republic's very survival.

Only then can America truly drain the swamp.

In Closing…

As we conclude today's discussion, it's crucial to recognize that our Constitution isn't just a document; it's a safeguard of our freedoms and a blueprint of limitations for our government. Conversely, Marxism, with its centralized control and suppression of individual rights, poses a direct threat to these principles.

By understanding and defending our Charters of Freedom—the Declaration of Independence, the US Constitution, and the Bill of Rights—we protect not only our liberties and freedoms but also the Natural Law values that define our nation.

I urge you to continue exploring these vital issues by visiting the publications and podcasts found on our landing page. Together, we can advocate for a future where the principles of freedom and justice are upheld for all, not just for the privileged elite.

Until next time…

In a bombshell release of declassified documents, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has exposed the rotten core of Barack Obama's presidency: a calculated, deceitful campaign to fabricate Russian interference in the 2016 election. This wasn't mere incompetence from Obama and his cabal of sycophants in the national security apparatus—it was a brazen assault on democracy itself.

Obama's team, including the likes of Susan Rice, John Kerry, and Loretta Lynch, along with intelligence hacks like James Clapper and John Brennan, appear to have twisted facts, suppressed truths, and peddled lies to undermine Donald Trump's legitimate victory. The intelligence community under Obama? A nest of partisan vipers who prioritized political sabotage over national security.

Let's rewind to the raw intelligence before Obama's fingerprints smeared it all.

In the run-up to the 2016 election, assessments from across the board—the CIA, FBI, NSA, DHS, and more—flatly concluded that Russia hadn't meddled in a way that swayed results. A Presidential Daily Brief (PDB) dated December 8, 2016, compiled with input from every major agency, stated unequivocally:

“We assess that Russian and criminal actors did not impact recent US election results by conducting malicious cyber activities against election infrastructure.”

This wasn't some fringe opinion; it echoed DNI James Clapper's own talking points from the day before, insisting foreign adversaries hadn't executed cyberattacks that altered outcomes.

The PDB detailed minor incursions, like a compromised Illinois voter database and failed attempts elsewhere, but deemed it “highly unlikely” that these could flip any state's votes. Russian efforts? Merely psychological ops to sow doubt, not game-changers. Cybercriminals tried data theft and disruption, but achieved nothing in terms of real impact. This was the unvarnished truth from Obama's own intelligence machine—until the boss decided it didn't fit his anti-Trump agenda.

Enter the smoky back room, Chicago-style corruption.

The FBI, ever the eager lapdog under Obama's influence, threw a tantrum over the PDB's conclusions, drafting a “dissent” and stalling its release. Originally slated for December 9, it got buried under “new guidance.” That very day, a sinister White House Situation Room huddle convened, attended by the worst offenders: Clapper, Brennan, Rice, Kerry, Lynch, and Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe, among others. This wasn't a strategy session; it was a conspiracy factory. They plotted sanctions on Russian officials, but more damningly, Obama himself demanded a fresh intelligence assessment—one laser-focused on Russia's supposed “tools and tactics” to influence the election.

What followed was a grotesque narrative flip.

Public statements from Obama's minions suddenly screamed Russian interference, ignoring prior findings that emphasized mere attempts without success. By January 6, 2017, the Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) dropped like a propaganda bomb, claiming Russia not only interfered but did so explicitly to boost Trump. This was pure fiction, contradicting the December PDB's “no impact” verdict. The ICA even lied by omission, pretending the community made “no assessment” on effects, while burying earlier absolutions.

Worse, the ICA was riddled with politicization. Dissenting views? Suppressed. The FBI and NSA's low confidence in attributing DNC leaks to Russia? Ignored. And the cherry on this corrupt sundae: the inclusion of the Steele Dossier, a pile of salacious garbage dismissed by the CIA as “internet rumor.” Yet Brennan, Obama loyalist extraordinaire, rammed it in, despite its unreliability. This wasn't intelligence; it was weaponized disinformation, courtesy of Obama's neo-Marxist echo chamber.

Tulsi Gabbard, in a rare display of spine from a DNI, called it what it is—a “treasonous conspiracy” by top officials to subvert the American people's will:

Gabbard nails it—this transcends partisanship; it's an attack on our Republic's foundations. Obama and his cronies rejected the Constitution, abusing power to cling to influence post-election.

The fallout? Criminal probes into Brennan and Comey, sparked by referrals from ex-CIA Director John Ratcliffe. Brennan's push for the bogus dossier fueled the FBI's witch hunt and tainted FISA warrants against Trump aide Carter Page. Now, under FBI Director Kash Patel, these criminals face serious scrutiny. Former President Trump minced no words:

“I think they’re very dishonest people. I think they’re crooked as hell. And maybe they have to pay a price for that.”

Obama's regime ditched honest intel for a manufactured crisis, birthing the Mueller farce, two sham impeachments, wrongful prosecutions, jailed innocents, escalated Russia tensions, and eroded faith in elections. This wasn't oversight; it was deliberate treachery from a President who viewed himself as above the law, aided by a complicit intelligence community that morphed into a deep-state Gestapo.

Accountability isn't optional—it's imperative. We must charge and prosecute Obama, his enablers, and every last conspirator. America's survival demands it.

In the end, the only path to redemption for our fractured republic lies in the swift and unrelenting prosecution of Barack Obama, his scheming inner circle—including the likes of Brennan, Clapper, Rice, and Comey—and the entire corrupt intelligence apparatus that executed this treasonous farce. Failing to hold these elitist plotters accountable would not only embolden future deep-state machinations but also irreparably shatter the American people's faith in justice, allowing the shadows of authoritarianism to eclipse our constitutional freedoms forever; true patriotism demands we drag these traitors into the light of the courtroom, exposing their crimes to restore the rule of law and ensure no president or bureaucrat ever again dares to weaponize power against the will of the electorate.

In Closing…

Our Republic’s lifeblood is the freedom to speak boldly, without fear, uniting us against tyranny, like the tyranny we just discussed. This sacred liberty lets us confront government overreach and defend our God-given rights.

We must rise, fully informed, and wielding the First Amendment as our shield against this authoritarian plague.

Dive into our recommended podcasts and publications—arm yourself with truth and steadfastly guard America’s exceptional liberties. Stand unyieldingly, speak fearlessly, and together let’s crush this Marxist threat before it strangles the soul of our nation!

Until next time…

In an era where free speech is heralded as a cornerstone of democracy, the toxic-Left has perverted the noble act of protest into a cynical, profit-driven enterprise. What many well-meaning Americans defend as grassroots activism is, in reality, a permanent protest industry orchestrated by opportunistic neo-Marxists. These charlatans, hiding behind the veneer of social justice, exploit societal divisions for personal gain and ideological dominance.

Far from spontaneous outcries, today's demonstrations are often scripted spectacles, fueled by shadowy funding networks that undermine authentic public discourse. This insidious machinery not only sows chaos but also erodes trust in genuine movements, leaving the average citizen bewildered and vulnerable to manipulation.

At the heart of this racket lies "crowds on demand" businesses, where professional agitators are hired to inflate rallies and fabricate outrage. Companies like Crowds on Demand openly advertise services to organize protests, rallies, and advocacy campaigns for clients ranging from corporations to political operatives.

Founded by Adam Swart, Crowds on Demand, a Beverly Hills-based firm, boasts of deploying actors and incentivized participants to generate media buzz and pressure targets. They've been linked to everything from anti-Trump stunts to corporate extortion schemes, where paid crowds intimidate opponents into submission.

In one egregious case, the company was sued for allegedly using hired protesters to harass a Czech investor, demanding millions in settlements. More alarmingly, recent revelations show Crowds on Demand receiving "high-budget requests" to recruit agitators for anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles, with offers reaching up to $20 million for anti-Trump protests nationwide. This isn't activism; it's mercenary theater, where the toxic-Left outsources dissent to the highest bidder, turning principled stands into pay-per-view performances.

Funding this farce are billionaire puppet masters and their nonprofit empires, chief among them George Soros and his web of organizations. Through the Tides Foundation—a tax-exempt behemoth seeded by Soros's Open Society Foundations—these funds flow to radical groups orchestrating campus upheavals and street blockades.

For instance, Tides has funneled millions to entities like Jewish Voice for Peace and the Adalah Justice Project, which have spearheaded pro-Palestinian protests at universities like Columbia. These demonstrations, often laced with antisemitic rhetoric, aren't organic student uprisings but subsidized spectacles designed to disrupt and divide.

Soros' influence extends to teacher unions and migrant advocacy groups, where Tides-backed outfits in New York City received thousands to fuel anti-Israel walkouts among public school educators. Meanwhile, the Tides Foundation, acting as a fiscal sponsor, launders donations to obscure donors' tracks, enabling the toxic-Left to claim plausible deniability while professional protesters pocket the cash.

This omni-cause advocacy—jumping from climate hysteria to racial grievances to border chaos—is a lucrative national business, paying agitators handsomely without any accountability.

What makes this industry truly pernicious is the unregulated Wild West of tax-deductible 501(c)(3) nonprofits. These entities operate with impunity, siphoning billions from donors like Soros and the Gates Foundation to bankroll perpetual unrest. Unlike legitimate charities, they produce no tangible deliverables—no metrics proving public good, just endless disruption. The multi-billion-dollar NGO network props them up, allowing operatives to get paid for sowing division on a daily basis.

Take the Party for Socialism & Liberation (PSL), a far-Left group tied to anti-ICE and migrant protests in Los Angeles; it receives funding from socialist billionaire Neville Roy Singham, enabling coordinated riots that blend taxpayer dollars with ideological warfare. These nonprofits thrive on chaos, exempt from scrutiny that would expose their lack of real impact. The American public, lulled by media narratives, fails to grasp how this sector has become a haven for grifters masquerading as activists.

Even more alarming is the co-mingling of foreign interests, where the toxic-Left's parent organizations do the bidding of adversarial regimes.

Neville Roy Singham, an American tech mogul now based in Shanghai, exemplifies this treachery. Sympathetic to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), Singham's global network finances propaganda outfits that span from Chicago to Delhi, sprinkling disinformation to advance Beijing's agenda. His funds have backed groups like Code Pink and No Cold War, which amplify anti-US and anti-Israel narratives.

In California, the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights (CHIRLA)—a nonprofit raking in federal and state grants—has members entangled in Singham's web, as revealed in congressional probes. CHIRLA, involved in LA's migrant protests and riots, mixes public funding with foreign-tied cash, blurring lines between domestic advocacy and espionage.

Singham's operatives, embedded in radical circles, have fueled campus antisemitism and urban violence, with ties to the 2025 LA riots drawing scrutiny from House Oversight Republicans. When nonprofits like CHIRLA and PSL receive millions from Singham while agitating against American policies, it's not just hypocrisy—it's a national security threat. The toxic-Left's willingness to align with CCP sympathizers exposes their opportunism: they'll take any money to destabilize the West, even if it means serving totalitarian masters.

This toxic brew of paid agitators, unregulated NGOs, and foreign meddling leaves the public unable to discern genuine grievances from manufactured ones. Authentic voices are drowned out by professional screamers, eroding faith in democracy itself. The general populace, bombarded by endless "protests," grows cynical, mistaking orchestrated mobs for popular will.

This protest industry mirrors the historical tactics of Marxist regimes, where propaganda was weaponized to manipulate the masses toward revolution and ultimate totalitarian control. Just as Leninist Soviets and Stalin's purges used state-controlled narratives to justify repression and purge dissent, today's toxic-Left deploys funded falsehoods to incite unrest, paving the way for ideological dominance.

In communist states, propaganda reshaped reality, turning citizens into unwitting tools of the elite; here, Soros-funded crowds and Singham's networks do the same, herding the gullible into chaos that benefits only the manipulators.

If unchecked, this neo-Marxist playbook risks dragging America into a similar abyss of controlled thought, totalitarian rule, and suppressed—and eventually non-existent—freedom.

As we wrap up today, let me leave you with this: the creeping influence of Marxism in the West threatens the very foundations of our free society. It erodes personal responsibility, undermines traditional values, and pushes collectivist agendas that stifle individual liberty.

Our greatest weapon against this tide is our Freedom of Speech—the right to speak truth to power without fear. We must use it boldly and wisely to expose these dangerous ideas before they take deeper root.

For years, the toxic-Left has peddled a narrative that the political Right is perpetually on the brink of igniting a second US Civil War. They paint conservatives as unhinged, gun-toting extremists ready to tear the nation apart over ideological differences. Yet, the evidence increasingly points to a far more troubling reality: it is the Marxist, toxic-Left itself that is stoking division, anger, and a dangerous appetite for violence verging on the precipice of bloodshed.

Recent reporting from Axios, based on interviews with over two dozen House Democrats, exposes a seething undercurrent of rage within the Left’s base—a rage that flirts openly with lawlessness and chaos. And while some believe these admissions are being used as excuses for far-Left Democrat absurdity, the fact remains: the toxic-Left, born of Marxist roots, is aching for violent confrontation.

The Left’s accusations against the Right have long been a projection, a smoke-and-mirrors tactic to deflect from their own radical impulses. While they accuse conservatives of undermining democracy, it is their own base that is now demanding blood, spectacle, and a rejection of civility.

As Axios revealed, Democrat lawmakers are grappling with a toxic-Left constituency that is “enraged” at their inability to counter President Donald Trump’s “America First” reformative agenda. Far from seeking reasoned discourse or legislative solutions, these voters are pushing for escalation—some even advocating violence as a means to an end.

One lawmaker, Rep. Brad Schneider (D-IL), admitted, “We’ve got people who are desperately wanting us to do something… no matter what we say, they want [more].” This insatiable hunger for “more” reveals a disturbing truth: the Marxist Left isn’t interested in governance or compromise. They crave confrontation, driven by an ideology that thrives on division and destruction. Their rhetoric, steeped in class warfare and resentment, dismisses the rule of law as an inconvenience, a barrier to their vision of “justice.”

This anger and fury are not organic but are being actively facilitated by deep-pocketed donors of the radical Left. Figures such as George and Alex Soros, Tom Steyer, and Neville Singham, along with organizations like the Tides Foundation, pour millions into groups that amplify divisive rhetoric and fund activist networks pushing for confrontation. These financiers, often operating behind the scenes, bankroll organizations that stoke the flames of unrest, providing the resources for protests, media campaigns, and grassroots agitation that fuel the toxic-Left’s escalatory mindset. Their funding ensures that the loudest, most extreme voices dominate the conversation, drowning out calls for moderation and empowering the narrative that violence is a legitimate response to political setbacks.

The Axios report paints a chilling picture of this toxic-Left base. One anonymous lawmaker recounted constituents declaring that “civility isn’t working” and that they should prepare for “violence…to fight to protect our democracy.” This is not the language of democracy but of mob rule, a hallmark of Marxist movements that historically justify violence as a tool for “revolution.” The Left’s sanctimonious claim to be defending democratic ideals rings hollow when their supporters are urging lawmakers to “storm the White House and stuff like that,” as another lawmaker described the “crazy shit” flooding their inboxes.

Perhaps most telling is the “Roman coliseum analogy” offered by one Democrat. “People just want more and more of this spectacle,” they said. This is the toxic-Left’s true face: a bloodthirsty mob, egged on by Marxist rhetoric that fetishizes chaos over order. They aren’t seeking solutions; they’re demanding a performance, a gladiatorial clash where violence becomes entertainment. This is not the behavior of a reasoned political movement but of a cult intoxicated by its own outrage. This is the stuff of The Hunger Games.

Even more disturbing is the pressure placed on lawmakers to become martyrs for the cause. One representative noted constituents insisting that they should be willing to “get shot” or “get ourselves arrested intentionally.” This call for self-sacrifice comes disproportionately, as another lawmaker pointed out, from “economically very secure White people” in the upper-middle and lower-upper classes. Here lies the hypocrisy of the toxic-Left: affluent, insulated activists demanding that others bear the physical and legal consequences of their radical posturing. It’s a perverse inversion of the Marxist “class struggle” they claim to champion, where the privileged egg on the vulnerable to act as cannon fodder.

The most damning anecdote comes from a lawmaker who, during a meeting, expressed a desire to de-escalate tensions: “I actually said in a meeting, ‘When they light a fire, my thought is to grab an extinguisher.’ And someone at the table said, ‘Have you tried gasoline?’” This exchange encapsulates the toxic-Left’s mindset. They don’t want to extinguish the flames of division; they want to pour fuel on them. This is the Marxist playbook—create chaos, exploit it, and claim moral superiority while the world burns.

The irony is that the Left accuses the Right of fomenting civil war while their own rhetoric and actions push the nation closer to that precipice. The Right, for all its flaws, has largely operated within the bounds of democratic norms, advocating for policy changes through elections and legislation. Meanwhile, the toxic-Left’s base is openly contemptuous of these processes, dismissing them as insufficient and demanding extralegal measures. Their flirtation with violence isn’t a reaction to oppression but an infantile tantrum born of ideological impatience. They cannot tolerate a world where their vision isn’t imposed immediately, by any means necessary.

And this isn’t a new phenomenon. The Marxist Left has a long history of projecting its own violent tendencies onto its opponents. From the Red Scare to the Weather Underground (which launched Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn into far-Left orthodoxy, and with which Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass’s political genesis is loosely aligned), they’ve cloaked their radicalism in the guise of “resistance,” accusing conservatives of the very divisiveness they cultivate. Today’s toxic-Left is no different, weaponizing their base’s anger to intimidate lawmakers and silence dissent. Their calls for “blood to grab the attention of the press and the public,” as one lawmaker put it, reveal a movement more interested in theatrics than governance.

The danger lies in how this rhetoric normalizes violence as a political tool. By framing democracy as a battleground where only the most extreme actions count, the toxic-Left has radicalized its followers beyond its control. Their obsession with spectacle over substance, with gasoline over extinguishers, threatens not just political discourse but the very fabric of the Republic. If the Right has been accused of stoking division, it is the Marxist Left that is guilty of delivering the dynamite and lighting the match.

The Axios report serves as a wake-up call. The toxic-Left’s base is not a fringe but a growing force within the Democrat Party, and one that their own lawmakers are struggling to contain. Their demands for violence, their rejection of civility, and their thirst for violent spectacle are not anomalies but the logical endpoint of Marxist ideology—an ideology that thrives on violent conflict and abhors compromise.

The political Right isn’t a threat to America’s stability; the toxic-Left’s reckless escalation is. If we are to avoid the chaos they seem so eager to provoke, we must call out their hypocrisy, reject their dangerous narrative, and incentivize the Democrat Party to expunge the toxins from their brand. And we must do all of this before the unhinged radicals of the Democrat toxic-Left deliver to us their coveted violent revolution; their second bloody US Civil War.

In The Name Of Freedom…

In closing today, please remember this: the freedom to express ideas openly and without fear is what holds our Republic together. It allows citizens to challenge government overreach, debate policies, and protect individual rights. When ideologies like Marxism begin to take root, promoting centralized control and suppressing opposing views—be it through socialism in any form or communism—they threaten to unravel the very system that guarantees our freedoms.

It’s vital for every American to stay informed and to understand the history of free speech, constitutional protections under the First Amendment, and how authoritarian trends can weaken democratic principles.

Please seek out well-documented sources on these topics, like the podcasts and publications we recommend on our landing page. Knowledge is our strongest defense—stay vigilant, speak boldly, and safeguard the liberties that make America exceptional.

Our society’s obsession with sex is not a neutral force. The rampant, overt sexualization of culture—celebrated in media, entertainment, and elite circles—has created a fertile ground for predators like Jeffrey Epstein, Sean “Diddy” Combs, and Harvey Weinstein to exploit and abuse women and children. This is not a call to vilify consensual adult sexuality but a condemnation of a culture so permissive that it enables, and even normalizes, the exploitation of the vulnerable.

The Epstein case, alongside those of Combs and Weinstein, reveals a grim truth: society’s apathy toward ethical boundaries and its failure to confront human trafficking head-on are complicit in the horrors endured by countless victims.

The over-sexualization of our society is a key driver of this abuse. From hyper-sexualized advertising to the glamorization of excess in elite social circles, we’ve normalized a culture where boundaries are eroded and power imbalances are exploited.

“When music videos, films, and social media glorify objectification, it desensitizes us to the real-world consequences: a culture where predators can hide in plain sight.”

Epstein, a financier with connections to the global elite, operated in a world where his wealth and influence allowed him to prey on young women and children with impunity. Similarly, Combs and Weinstein leveraged their status in entertainment to manipulate and coerce. These men didn’t operate in a vacuum; they thrived in a society that celebrates sexual excess without sufficient regard for consent or vulnerability.

When music videos, films, and social media glorify objectification, it desensitizes us to the real-world consequences: a culture where predators can hide in plain sight.

The elite class often operates above societal norms, ignoring both ethics and the law to indulge their desires. Epstein’s private island and Manhattan townhouse weren’t just settings for his crimes—they were symbols of a world where wealth buys silence and access to victims. Combs’ alleged “freak-off” parties and Weinstein’s casting couch abuses reflect a similar pattern: powerful men exploiting their status to fulfill misogynistic and, in some cases, pedophilic impulses. These acts weren’t isolated; they were enabled by a network of enablers who turned a blind eye, from assistants to industry insiders. This moral decay among the elite isn’t just a personal failing—it’s a symptom of a society that prioritizes power and pleasure over accountability.

Society’s apathy toward human trafficking, particularly of children, is a stain on our collective conscience. The trafficking of women and children is not a distant problem—it’s happening in our cities, facilitated by demand and indifference. The US State Department’s 2023 report estimated that over 100,000 children are trafficked annually in the United States alone, yet public outrage remains fleeting. Epstein’s victims, many of whom were minors, were trafficked under the guise of “massages” or “modeling opportunities.” The failure to address this systemic issue—through robust law enforcement, public awareness, and policy reform—makes society complicit in the exploitation. Every ignored red flag, every dismissed victim’s story, allows predators to operate unchecked.

Let me be clear: I fully support the freedom of consenting adults to engage in sexual relationships of their choosing. Sexual liberation, when rooted in mutual respect and consent, is a cornerstone of personal autonomy. But that freedom must have limits. When consent is coerced—through power, money, or manipulation—or when children are involved, those responsible must face severe consequences. The law must draw a hard line, and society must enforce it without hesitation. The idea that personal freedom excuses exploitation is a perversion of liberty, and it’s time we reject it outright.

The normalization of pedophilia is an abomination that demands the strongest condemnation. No society can claim moral legitimacy while allowing the exploitation of children to be downplayed or excused. Yet, we see disturbing trends: media that softens the language around “minor-attracted persons,” or elite circles that wink at predatory behavior as a quirk of power. Epstein’s client list, which many believe exists despite official denials, points to a network of influential figures who participated in or enabled his crimes. Ghislaine Maxwell’s conviction confirms the existence of a system that facilitated Epstein’s abuse. The rush to shred documents in the Manhattan FBI office after the appointments of Pam Bondi and Kash Patel in late 2024 only fuels suspicion of a cover-up. But even without a list, the evidence is clear: a permissive culture among the elite allowed these crimes to flourish.

In the end, the Epstein case is less about a grand government conspiracy and more about a society that has lost its moral compass. Yes, the client list matters—its existence suggests a network of complicity that must be exposed. But the real scandal is the radically permissive atmosphere that allowed Epstein, Combs, and Weinstein to operate with impunity.

This isn’t just about a few bad actors; it’s about a culture that shrugs at exploitation, ignores trafficking, and excuses predation as a byproduct of power. We must hold these men—and the systems that enabled them—in equal contempt.

Only by confronting our apathy, demanding accountability, and protecting the vulnerable can we even begin to dismantle the conditions that let these monsters—these very real monsters—thrive.

In The Name Of Freedom…

In closing, our Republic’s lifeblood is the freedom to speak boldly, without fear, uniting us against tyranny. This sacred liberty lets us confront government overreach and defend our God-given rights.

Yet, Marxism’s vile shadow—whether cloaked in socialism or communism—looms to destroy it all. Its poisonous creed of centralized control and silenced dissent has crushed nations, leaving misery, oppression, and genocide in its wake.

We must rise, fully informed, and wielding the First Amendment as our shield against this authoritarian plague.

Dive into our recommended podcasts and publications—arm yourself with truth and steadfastly guard America’s exceptional liberties. Stand unyieldingly, speak fearlessly, and together let’s crush Marxism’s threat before it strangles the soul of our nation!

Until next time…

In a preface to the points I am about to make, I want to be clear about one thing. I am in full support of each of the measures passed in the One Big Beautiful Bill. In fact, I believe that some provisions didn’t go far enough when it comes to the sovereignty of citizenship and the outrageous amount of taxes that are forced upon the American people. To the latter point, I believe we are at a time in American history where we have returned to the beginning, in terms of taxation. Abolishing the income tax and replacing it with a carefully constrained consumption tax eliminates political corruption and taxes people according to their means better than any progressive income tax ever could.

But that’s a subject for another day…

The "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" (OBBBA), signed into law by President Donald Trump on July 4, 2025, was touted as a triumph for American workers, families, and seniors. Packed with tax relief measures and innovative programs, it promised to alleviate financial burdens and champion domestic priorities. Yet, beneath the fanfare lies a treacherous flaw: many of its most critical provisions are set to expire, conveniently timed around the end of Trump’s second term in 2028 or shortly after.

This is no oversight but a deliberate act by Congress—specifically obstructionist Democrats—who blocked permanent implementation, betraying the American public for perceived political leverage. By allowing these provisions to lapse, Congress ensures the return of higher taxes and lost benefits, treating Americans as pawns in a shameless political game.

The OBBBA includes several taxpayer-friendly measures, but their temporary nature undercuts their value. The tax deduction for tips and overtime pay provides relief for tipped workers (up to $25,000 in qualified tips) and hourly workers earning overtime (up to $12,500), targeting individuals or joint filers with incomes below $150,000 or $300,000, respectively. This support for service and blue-collar workers is set to expire at the end of 2028.

Likewise, the increased State & Local Tax (SALT) deduction, which raises the cap from $10,000 to $40,000 for taxpayers earning up to $500,000, aids residents of high-tax states like New York, Illinois, and California but reverts to its restrictive limit in 2030.

The deduction for auto loan interest on vehicles assembled in the United States, aligned with Trump’s “Made in America” agenda, also expires in 2028, as does the increased standard deduction ($750 for individuals, $1,500 for married couples, and $1,125 for heads of household), which offers temporary relief to the 90% of taxpayers who rely on it.

The Trump Accounts program, providing a $1,000 government-funded deposit for newborns between 2025 and 2028, with tax-deferred contributions up to $5,000 annually for education, job training, or home purchases, is limited to children born in that four-year window, ending abruptly in 2028.

But perhaps most egregious is the expiration of the additional standard deduction for seniors—$6,000 for those aged 65 and over with incomes not exceeding $75,000 (single) or $150,000 (couples)—designed to offset taxes on Social Security benefits. This lifeline for retirees, already strained by fixed incomes, is set to expire in 2028. Worse still, Congress failed to eliminate taxes on Social Security benefits entirely, a proposal rejected due to Democrat resistance citing budget reconciliation rules, leaving seniors vulnerable to a soon-to-come punishing tax burden.

So, why are these provisions temporary? The answer lies in Congress’s abstract refusal—led explicitly by Democrats—to make them permanent. Their obstructionism reflects a calculated strategy to undermine the OBBBA’s long-term impact, prioritizing partisan posturing over the needs of the American public. By imposing expiration dates, Democrats ensure that these popular measures—measures mandated by the people in the 2024 General Election—can be allowed to lapse, only to serve as bargaining chips in future negotiations and fodder for disingenuous declarations in upcoming elections, all while holding taxpayers hostage to their political agenda. This is a betrayal of the American public, who deserve stable tax policies, not benefits dangled only to be snatched away.

Democrats’ obstructionist opposition to permanent tax cuts, especially for the SALT deduction and standard deduction increases, reveals a blatant disregard for public welfare. The SALT increase, a compromise to win over blue-state Republicans, met fierce Democrat resistance for allegedly favoring wealthier taxpayers, yet they offered no alternatives to permanently support middle-class families in high-tax states.

Most galling is their refusal to exempt Social Security benefits from taxation, forcing a temporary senior deduction as a weak substitute. Democrats hid behind budget constraints to block this reform, despite their eagerness to fund less critical, ideologically based special interest programs elsewhere.

The expiration of these provisions is a tax hike in disguise. When the deductions for tips, overtime, auto loan interest, and standard increases lapse in 2028, millions will face higher tax bills. The loss of the $40,000 SALT cap in 2030 will squeeze families in high-tax states and the Trump Accounts program will exclude children born after 2028, undermining its generational wealth-building potential. But the gravest injustice is reserved for seniors: the expiration of their $6,000 standard deduction in 2028, coupled with Congress’s failure to eliminate Social Security taxes completely and permanently, will thrust retirees back into financial strain, taxing benefits they earned through decades of work.

This is—and should be understood as—a moral, ethical, and societal outrage. Congress, especially Democrats, had the opportunity to secure these benefits permanently, but chose to play politically opportunistic chess instead. By allowing these expirations, they enable future administrations—likely their own—to let these provisions fade or demand concessions for renewal, holding taxpayers hostage.

Americans are tired and angry with these status quo games. We see through Congress’s refusal to prioritize our financial security. The OBBBA’s temporary provisions were couched as victories, but these victories are battle victories, not war victories. The expiration dates of these measures expose the truth: Congress values power over people.

Democrats’ obstruction of permanent tax relief, particularly their failure to exempt Social Security from taxes, reveals their hypocrisy—claiming to champion vulnerable populations while ensuring their benefits are fleeting. The primary fault lies with those who blocked permanency at every turn.

The only way to avert this catastrophe is to make these temporary measures permanent and to codify all Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) initiative cuts into permanent law. By enshrining the tax deductions for tips, overtime, seniors, and auto loan interest, alongside the increased SALT cap and Trump Accounts program, Congress can deliver lasting relief.

Permanently eliminating taxes on Social Security benefits would honor seniors’ contributions and provide true and meaningful financial security. And codifying DOGE-driven efficiencies would ensure fiscal responsibility without burdening taxpayers.

Anything less is a continuation of Congress’s betrayal of the American people, leaving us vulnerable to the inevitable return of higher taxes, diminished opportunities, and a return to status quo taxing and spending, with no champion to force accountability in sight.

Every year, when Independence Day approaches—and you’ll notice I say Independence Day and not “the Fourth of July”—I rewatch the HBO series John Adams. Now, I know historical purists will gravitate towards some of the artistic license in the series, but for the most part, the storyline is true, and the place the viewer is brought to accurately portrays the frustration, danger, and uncertainty the Founding Generation held at hand.

While the entire series is absolutely worth watching—and more than appropriately, this week—I have pulled a few of the more memorable moments from the series to illustrate the intensity of what it must have been like to go through those moments in time.

We often forget that at the time of the American Revolution, there were no countries that had created a system of government for themselves. Most governments stemmed from monarchies. So the very idea of “liberty,” of a free people establishing a government for themselves, was a foreign idea.

But with each aggression perpetrated against the colonists reaching an intolerable level, the subject of Natural Law rights and liberty came into play.

In this clip, John Adams is speaking to his church congregation about liberty, upon his nomination to the Continental Congress:

As an aside, Paul Giamatti and Laura Linney, as well as all in the cast, gave performances that should have found them all award winners, but since it was a pro-American film made during the delusional days of the Obama administration, the entertainment industry wasn’t keen on it. Nevertheless….

After the subject became one that could emerge from the shadows; after the colonies assembled in Philadelphia to seat the Continental Congress, it didn’t take long for reality to set in that King George had made up his mind to bring the colonies to heel by force, declaring that if caught, the insurrectionists (our Founding Fathers) would be executed as traitors.

Nevertheless, a committee was formed to ink what is now historically referred to as the Declaration of Independence. Most believe that Thomas Jefferson alone authored the document, but, in fact, four others were on the committee, including John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Roger Sherman, and Robert Livingston, with Adams and Franklin playing a larger role than the latter.

In this clip, featuring Franklin, Adams, and Jefferson, you can begin to understand the complexity of what the Framers were trying to accomplish. And far from what the radical Left of today would have you believe, the Framers were well aware of the abomination of slavery:

Imagine pouring your heart and intellect into a rough draft document like Jefferson’s version of the Declaration and being brought to the reality that the whole of Congress was going to be able to bastardize it! Imagine what today’s Congress would do to that document with the ikes of AOC, Bernie Sanders, and Jasmine Crockett in its ranks! This is the reason most understand that today’s government is intellectually inferior to the intellect that was amassed at the beginning of our Republic.

Even in 1776, it took a well-crafted and emotional argument to persuade the members of the Continental Congress to embark on what everyone believed to be an impossible task: cleaving the colonies away from Great Britain via a war with the world’s most powerful military, and this doesn’t even address the impossible task of creating a constitution for a new nation, which would come much later.

In this clip, what I believe to be one of the pinnacle moments in the series, and one that is historically accurate, John Adams, in the face of resistance to independence and war, led by John Dickinson of Pennsylvania, makes his case, his plea, for a Declaration of Independence:

When we take a moment to walk a mile in the shoes of the men making this monumental decision, it is easy to understand why passions and emotions were high. Valid arguments existed on both sides of the aisle, and the people’s freedom and liberty, their very lives, were hanging in the balance.

While most of us watch the world’s events from the sidelines via social and mainstream media—and this is not to minimize the serious issues of today—is it very probable that we would have made the safer choice on July 2nd, 1776, instead of the courageous choices that allowed our country to be created? If it were you and I sitting in Philadelphia with the world’s most powerful military promising to bring its full wrath upon us, would we have had a fidelity to principle potent enough to cast our votes with the Founders and Framers?

Honestly, today, I don’t believe that our society has the courage it took to make that decision; to cast those votes. We and our political class are more like the milquetoast, sweaty-lippers from New York who couldn’t bring themselves to vote in a unanimous manner on that evening.

Our society—our American society—has gotten too comfortable with safety nets and fallbacks, too comfortable with government picking up the slack. We have become too complacent with a government that has moved away from serving a deserving people. We have become apathetic to a government that has evolved into a corrupt system of political opportunism, one that has delivered us to a time when we have a bastardized and corrupt two-tier judicial system, opportunistic and self-important politicians who only know how to tax and spend, and half a population that can’t define what a man or a woman is or agree that sovereignty needs to be a thing.

Today, I fear that our people—We the People—wouldn’t have the common sense to understand the preciousness or the importance of these words:

As we launch our nation’s semiquincentennial, our 250th year of existence, perhaps it is a great reason to reacquaint ourselves with the founding principles of our great nation. Perhaps it’s time that we embrace the culling of the governmental herd, the downsizing of our federal and state governments, and a reduction of their oppressive regulatory oversight over us, and re-embrace the idea of self-reliance and personal responsibility.

Perhaps it’s time we reject the idea of “re-imagining” things and come to terms with the many realities that we have purposely chosen to ignore: living within our means, obeying laws, that we are not entitled to everything we want, and that the Constitution and the Bill of Rights matter, and not the politicized and bastardized constitution of the Marxist progressive-Left.

Maybe, it’s time to understand that when President Washington talked about the poison of the political parties in our Republic in his Farewell Address, he was talking less about the organizations themselves and more about people putting the well-being of their political parties before the well-being of their neighbors.

And maybe it’s time we recognize that when Washington warned against “foreign entanglements,” he was referring more to a foolish embrace of globalism than in coming to the aid of our allies when evil comes to call at their door.

On, July 4th, 2025, as we begin the year-long celebration of the most important document in our nation’s history, and perhaps world history (it is at least on par with the Magna Carta), I suggest to you that it is time to rededicate ourselves, all of us, to the principles that founded our Republic, to being American and to being a proud American.

In 250 years, our nation has grown to be the greatest nation—the greatest and freest nation—on the face of the planet, and one that has defended and afforded freedom for others around the world. That is something to be proud of.

Happy birthday to the United States of America, and thank you to the Founders and Framers for your bravery, courage, and intellect. Unlike the ungrateful on the toxic-Left, this American has a deep gratitude for your sacrifices.

My liberty, truth, sovereignty, and freedom reign for at least another 250 years, and may God bless our people and our Republic.

Happy Independence Day.

Then, when we return, our segment on America’s Third Watch, broadcast nationally from our flagship station WGUL AM860 & FM93.7 in Tampa, Florida.

In The Name Of Freedom…

As we close this Independence Day, let’s remember what truly makes America exceptional: the unyielding right to free speech, the courage to engage in honest conversations, and the pursuit of truth grounded in our shared values.

Our nation was built on the foundation of community—neighbors talking openly, debating respectfully, and standing united under liberty’s banner. Free speech isn’t just a right; it’s the lifeblood of our Republic that keeps us strong against those who would silence dissent or rewrite history.

This Independence Day, I encourage you to seek out reputable sources like The Hoover Institution, Hillsdale College, or the National Constitution Center to deepen your understanding of these principles. Search for yourself—because freedom thrives when informed citizens speak boldly and listen well.

God bless America, and may we always cherish our freedoms together.

Happy birthday, America!

In the digital age, the battle for public opinion is increasingly fought through sophisticated manipulation tactics orchestrated by nefarious nation-state actors and far-Left non-governmental organizations (NGOs). These entities deploy paid social media influencers, fake accounts, and artificial intelligence (AI) bots to create the illusion of widespread support for their causes, undermining truth and sowing discord. This insidious practice distorts reality, misleads the public, and erodes trust in democratic processes.

By examining specific examples—such as the manufactured support for the Islamic Republic of Iran against the United States, the amplification of pro-Hamas and pro-Palestinian narratives in the West, the fabricated backing for anti-ICE demonstrations in the US, the propagandizing of the transgender movement, and the contrived fissures within the MAGA movemen—it is easy to understand why these practices, and those who fund and employ them, should be viciously condemned and exposed for these deceptive strategies.

Since US military actions against Iran’s regime in June 2025, a wave of disinformation has flooded social media, falsely portraying widespread support for the Islamic Republic among Persian-Iranians and global audiences. State-sponsored actors, particularly Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and entities like the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB), have been implicated in spreading AI-generated videos and images.

For instance, BBC Verify reported that fake AI videos, amassing over 100 million views, falsely depicted Persian-Iranians chanting anti-American slogans and exaggerated the success of Iran’s missile strikes on US bases. These fabrications aim to bolster the regime’s image domestically and internationally, creating a hyperreality where Iran’s military prowess and public support appear unassailable.

The IRGC, backed by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who has long championed cyberspace as a frontier for Iran’s “information jihad,” funds these operations. The Alavi Foundation, a New York-based organization with multimillion-dollar budgets, also plays a pivotal role by funneling funds to US-based entities that propagate Tehran’s anti-American and pro-Palestinian narratives. These efforts, often masked as grassroots movements, manipulate public perception to counter US actions, deceiving audiences into believing Iran enjoys broad support.

The Israel-Hamas conflict has been a fertile ground for disinformation, with far-Left NGOs and state actors like Iran and its proxies—Hamas and Hezbollah—using social media to inflate pro-Palestinian sentiment in Western mainstream discourse. The New York Times described the Gaza war as triggering a “deluge of online propaganda,” with Iran, Russia, and China deploying state media and covert campaigns to support Hamas and amplify anti-Israeli rhetoric.

For example, fake videos, including one claiming to show Hamas fighters destroying Israeli military equipment, were traced to Iran-backed accounts and garnered millions of views. These clips, often sourced from video games like Arma 3, exploit the fog of war to create viral narratives. Additionally, AI-generated images depicting Palestinian civilians in distress, falsely attributed to Israeli actions, have been widely shared by accounts linked to Hezbollah’s cyber units, further fueling anti-Israeli sentiment.

Far-Left NGOs, such as those linked to the Soros-funded Open Society Foundations, have been accused of indirectly fueling these narratives by funding activist groups that amplify anti-Israeli rhetoric. In Europe, organizations like the Palestine Solidarity Campaign have used paid influencers to promote hashtags like #FreePalestine, creating the illusion of overwhelming grassroots support.

These coordinated efforts, blending state and non-state actors, create an illusion of widespread Western support for Hamas and Palestinian causes, drowning out moderate voices and polarizing public opinion.

In the United States, anti-Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) demonstrations have been amplified by similar tactics, with far-Left NGOs and foreign actors manipulating social media to exaggerate public support. Organizations like the Open Society Foundations and their grantees and individuals like Neville Singham have been linked to funding protests that portray ICE as inherently oppressive, often using paid influencers to push emotionally charged narratives. Iran has also been implicated in stoking these protests, with US intelligence assessments noting operatives posing as students to provide financial assistance and amplify anti-ICE sentiment online.

Fake accounts and AI bots, some traced to Iran’s cyber operations, flood platforms like X with hashtags and viral posts, creating the appearance of a grassroots uprising. A 2021 US Department of Justice indictment revealed Iran’s use of fake social media profiles, posing as American groups like the Proud Boys, to sow discord and promote anti-government narratives. These efforts mislead the public into believing anti-ICE sentiment is more widespread than it is, undermining law enforcement and fueling division.

The transgender movement has also been subject to manipulative propaganda, with far-Left NGOs and activist networks using social media to exaggerate the breadth of public support for transgender rights and policies. Organizations like the Human Rights Campaign and GLAAD, backed by significant funding from groups like the Open Society Foundations, have been linked to campaigns that employ paid influencers and AI-driven content to amplify narratives around gender identity.

For instance, coordinated hashtag campaigns like #TransRightsAreHumanRights often trend due to bot-driven amplification, creating the illusion of overwhelming public consensus. These efforts include AI-generated testimonials and images of supposed transgender individuals sharing stories of acceptance, which are shared widely to evoke emotional responses and sway public opinion.

Foreign actors, including Russia-based cyber groups, have been implicated in amplifying these narratives to exploit cultural divisions in the West. A 2023 report from the Center for Countering Digital Hate noted that Russian disinformation networks used fake accounts to boost transgender-related content, portraying it as a wedge issue to deepen societal fractures. These campaigns, often funded through opaque channels, create a distorted perception of universal support for transgender policies, sidelining dissenting voices and framing opposition as fringe or hateful.

And lastly, but certainly not the end of the list of examples, the MAGA movement, typically unified in its support for Donald Trump, has been targeted by disinformation campaigns to create the illusion of internal division, particularly over US foreign policy in the Middle East. Posts on X, such as one by @suzylebo on June 19, 2025, allege that Russia and Iran fund thousands of bots masquerading as “America First” accounts to fracture MAGA and discredit Trump. These bots, including accounts like Noctis, push crisis narratives within minutes of breaking news, amplifying isolationist voices like Tucker Carlson and Steve Bannon, who advocate against US military involvement abroad while promoting pro-Palestinian talking points.

The Atlantic reported that MAGA luminaries like Marjorie Taylor Greene have been pitted against pro-establishment figures like Lindsey Graham, creating a false narrative of a split within Trump’s base. Iran’s operatives, alongside far-Left NGOs, exploit these tensions by deploying AI-generated content, such as fake videos of MAGA supporters chanting pro-Palestinian slogans, to amplify anti-Trump sentiment, falsely suggesting his supporters are abandoning him. The Alavi Foundation and similar entities fund these campaigns, leveraging their financial clout to manipulate perceptions and weaken Trump’s political coalition.

These manipulative tactics—deployed by state actors like Iran’s IRGC and IRIB, Russia’s cyber operatives, and enabled by deep-pocketed individuals like George and Alex Soros and Neville Singham, and organizations like the Alavi Foundation, Open Society Foundations, and activist groups like GLAAD—are a reprehensible assault on truth and democracy. By flooding social media with fake accounts, paid influencers, and AI-generated content, these entities create illusions of support that distort reality and polarize societies.

The use of such tactics to bolster Iran’s regime, amplify pro-Hamas and pro-Palestinian narratives, inflate anti-ICE protests, exaggerate support for the transgender movement, and sow discord within the MAGA movement is not just deceptive but dangerous, risking real-world consequences like unrest, violence, and the loss of life.

To combat this propaganda, there are a few proactive steps individuals can take to spot manipulation:

* Check Account Authenticity: Examine social media profiles for signs of inauthenticity, such as recent creation dates, repetitive posting patterns, or lack of personal details. Bots often have generic usernames or stolen profile pictures.

* Verify Visual Content: Be skeptical of viral images or videos. Use reverse image search tools like Google Images or TinEye to trace their origins. AI-generated content may have subtle flaws, like unnatural lighting or distorted faces.

* Cross-Reference Sources: Confirm claims by checking multiple reputable sources. Propaganda often relies on single, unverified posts that spread rapidly without substantiation.

* Question Emotional Appeals: Influencer-driven propaganda often uses overly emotional language to provoke reactions. Pause and assess whether the content aligns with verified facts.

* Monitor Posting Frequency: Bots and paid influencers may post at unnatural rates or in coordinated bursts. Tools like Botometer can help identify suspicious accounts.

The fight against digital deception demands collective resolve. By arming ourselves with critical thinking and these practical tools, we can pierce the veil of propaganda, expose the orchestrators of division, and reclaim a public square rooted in truth.

Let’s stand united against the manipulators, refusing to let their manufactured narratives fracture our societies or silence authentic voices. Only through vigilance and discernment can we safeguard democracy from the insidious grip of orchestrated lies.

In The Name Of Freedom…

As we wrap up, let’s reflect on an important thought: free speech, truth, and open conversation; they aren’t just ideals—they’re the foundation, the cornerstone of a free world.

Without the freedom to speak, we lose the ability to challenge power or expose lies. Truth, pursued relentlessly, keeps us grounded in reality and allows us to guard against manipulation. And conversation? It’s how we bridge divides, refine ideas, and build trust. When these are silenced, societies fracture, and tyranny creeps in.

History shows that freedom thrives only where voices are heard, facts are debated, and dialogue flourishes. So, keep speaking to each other, keep seeking the truth, and connecting—it’s not just your right; it’s the main ingredient to freedom’s survival

Until next time…
