ANALYSIS – The Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI’s) egregious overreach in manipulating Big Tech firms such as Twitter to do its bidding has now got an even more blockbuster twist. According to Matt Taibbi’s ongoing ‘Twitter Files’ exposé, the FBI offered to be the conduit between Big Tech and the entire U.S. intelligence Community (IC) in its unconstitutional effort to censor Americans. And it then actively became that conduit. The Bureau also oddly referred to itself as potentially being the “belly button” of the U.S. Government (USG) in terms of interactions with Big Tech. To keep a fig leaf of propriety, when making…

ANALYSIS – Most conservatives understand that one of the left’s major weapons in the war of ideas is manipulating language and using well-researched buzzwords and phrases to change reality and mask their more extreme ideas. We see it every day with the constant use of ‘gun violence’ rather than shooting or murder committed by a criminal. We see it with ‘global warming’ becoming ‘climate change’ when the facts don’t support the narrative. We also see it with the insanely deceptive and grotesque ‘gender-affirming care’ rather for genital-mutilating sex-change surgery. And of course, we see it in spades with abortion, where…

ANALYSIS – As I have repeatedly written about, here, here and here, the politicization at the higher levels of the FBI, and to a degree at DHS (Department of Homeland Security) and other federal law enforcement agencies, is one of the gravest threats facing our Republic and our constitutional liberties today. The danger is widespread and involves the Bureau having strayed well into illegal domestic spying and censorship. The possible crimes go from FBI collusion with Big Tech (Twitter, Facebook, et al,) to censor Americans who may criticize certain government-approved narratives, to creating an entire army of analysts and agents…

ANALYSIS – The Wagner Group, Vladimir Putin’s ruthless but unofficial private mercenary army, deployed for years in Africa with mixed results, is again raising concerns in the West. I have written about them here, here and here. Most recently, it has deployed to Ukraine to stiffen the resolve of the less than effective regular Russian army troops and to also provide ‘shock troops’ for more demanding missions. The mercenary group closely tied to the Kremlin insists it is simply a PMC (Private Military Company) doing legal military support work for its clients, which includes the Russian military and other states. In reality,…

ANALYSIS – In the ‘yes, we were right all along’ category, it is crystal clear that leading Democrat politicos held enormous sway over the woke peons at Twitter and still do at other Big Tech social media companies. And, in clear violation of the First Amendment and press freedom, these top Democrats use that power to pressure these companies to suspend and ban journalists and critics alike. In the latest bombshell drop from Musk’s Twitter Files we learn that by 2020, Twitter was inundated with requests and demands from elements of the government to censor various personalities and narratives. The…

ANALYSIS – In typical Trump fashion, the former president just threw all pro-lifer conservatives under the bus to deflect any blame from himself for the weak ‘Red Trickle’ that was the 2022 election. But is he wrong? On November 9, I wrote about how both issues impacted the 2022 election losses. ‘Abortion and Trump tipped the scales.’ Yes, some pro-life conservatives took the reasonable Supreme Court decision to give abortion decisions back to the states (where they belong), as a green light to push for the most aggressive anti-abortion restrictions they could. And this was a mistake. It only reinforced…
