There’s no better example of how little faith Americans have that government officials will tell the truth than the public’s blasé reaction to UFO announcements. In the last ten years, The New York Times has run stories about secret Pentagon programs tasked with retrieving alien craft. Members of Congress have held hearings on “mysterious orbs” and invited government witnesses to testify about black budget projects supposedly reverse-engineering alien technology. Secretary of State Rubio and director of National Intelligence Gabbard have both suggested that the UFO issue is serious. Yet eight billion people around the world collectively shrug.

One would think Kansas, of all places, would be a bastion of Normal American sanity. After all, it was to Kansas Dorothy and Toto returned when they left Oz. There’s no place like home. But that’s apparently not true of Lawrence, a town of just over 80,000 that voted overwhelmingly—67.5%--for Kamala Harris. Donald Trump won Kansas overall with 57.2% of the vote.
Since taking office, Trump has been restoring the rule of law in a whirlwind of executive orders while requiring the DOJ, Department of Education—DOE—FBI and every other federal agency to—the horror—obey and enforce federal law.

MSNBC’s Morning Joe is the lookouts on the Titanic: they see the iceberg but can’t do anything to alter the collision course. That’s the Democratic Party. I think most know their agenda sucks, but they hate Trump so much, or they’re bullied into taking these awful public policy positions, lest they risk having the wrath of the progressive Left bear down on them. The party is now defending crime. They’re booing law enforcement in D.C., who are trying to make the city safer.
Due to rising crime, President Trump federalized the D.C. police force and deployed the National Guard. Co-host Mika Brezinski had the best line to describe

Mickey Mantle, the legendary centerfielder for the New York Yankees and cultural icon, died 30 years ago this week, on August 13, 1995. Talk to virtually any baby boomer today who called themselves a serious sports fan, and they will tell you that whether they grew up in Odessa, Texas, Omaha, Nebraska, Montgomery, Alabama, or Raleigh, North Carolina—they all wanted to wear number seven on their uniform.

A newly declassified 2023 FBI FD-302 interview report from FBI director Kesh Patel reveals notes from a staffer who blew the whistle on Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.)’s alleged involvement in classified leaks during his tenure as ranking member of House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI).
The whistleblower reported that during a 2017 meeting, Schiff instructed staff to leak classified information to the press to discredit President Trump and lay the groundwork for indictments.
Schiff served as ranking member of HPSCI from January 3, 2015 to January 3, 2019. In January 2019, Schiff became chairman of the committee, holding that role until January 3, 2023.

Newly released FBI documents paint a damning picture of James Comey’s role in a coordinated intelligence operation against Donald Trump, an effort we know that Barack Obama ordered and that John Brennan, James Clapper, and a network of loyal operatives carried out.
The “Arctic Haze” documents reveal that the FBI not only knew that sensitive information was leaking to the media, but it was also orchestrating the leaks. At the center of this effort was Columbia University law professor Daniel Richman, whom Comey personally arranged for the FBI to hire and grant top security clearance. Richman acted as Comey’s go-between with reporters, helping to shape the Russian collusion hoax

I missed Rachel K. Paulose’s column about George Floyd—sorry, Saint George Floyd—when it appeared in The Spectator World at the end of May. Knowing of my interest in the case, a public-spirited individual brought the column to my attention. I thought it was an appalling regurgitation of the established, but erroneous, narrative about the larcenous, drug-and-woman-abusing miscreant George Floyd and the former police officer primarily involved in his arrest.

Democrats have dropped all pretense—they’re openly plotting to seize and rig the system the instant they claw back power. This isn’t quiet maneuvering in smoke-filled rooms. It’s a bold, almost taunting declaration that the rules no longer apply to them, and that the very foundations of fair governance are expendable.
In Texas, Democrats staged one of their most brazen stunts yet, fleeing the state in a calculated bid to break quorum and derail a Republican redistricting plan aimed at reflecting Texas’s actual political makeup. And at a rally in Fort Worth, former Congressman Beto O’Rourke didn’t just cheer them on—he glorified their stunt

Democrats have been wetting themselves over the past week about the idea of Texas redistricting their Congressional seats like, well, Democrats have in the states they control. They can’t handle it; they won’t handle it. Honestly, I don’t care. As Democrats flee Texas like roaches when the light is flipped on, let them destroy it all. We had a good run, right? There comes a time when it is simply no longer worth it, doesn’t there? I mean, 249 years is a pretty good run for a republic. They’re usually destroyed by leftists looking to do things with government power long before now.

Rachel Maddow is at it again — eyes to the heavens, voice quivering, as if she’s about to narrate the final act of a Ken Burns documentary entitled “America: The Dark Years.”
This week’s cliffhanger? “We have a consolidating dictatorship in our country.”
In Maddow’s latest monologue, she painted Trump’s America as a police-state nightmare — “secret police” supposedly prowling for immigrants, civil life grinding to a halt, the entire nation undergoing a “profound” transformation in just six months. If you closed your eyes, you’d think she was describing Venezuela with better lighting.
Now, I understand Rachel’s job is to frighten the MSNBC faithful into thinking every Trump policy

Rep. Nancy Pelosi’s husband, Paul, owns a small company called Financial Leasing Services, Inc. (estimated annual revenue $434,284) that bills itself as a real estate and venture capital investment and consulting firm. Nancy Pelosi herself has spent the last 38 years as a federal employee. Her current salary is $174,000 per year. Nevertheless, Paul and Nancy Pelosi are estimated to be worth around $413 million, up from a “mere” $370 million just two years ago.
This power couple’s wealth is almost magical. They are the living embodiment of the fact that, while Republicans get rich and then go into politics, Democrats go into politics and then get rich.

Throughout the 2024 campaign, I often wrote about the deep connections to the Chinese Communist Party--CCP-- of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. In April of 2025, I wrote Tim Walz: helping China colonize Minnesota? That article was about a long-established CCP operation in Minneapolis:
According to a recently released US House Oversight Committee report, “united front work is carried out by a vast network—including through the United Front Work Department (UFWD), and Chinese intelligence services, including the Ministry of Public Security (MPS) and the Ministry of State Security (MSS).” The Ministry of Public Security has been likened to China’s FBI while the Ministry of State Security is more like China’s CIA.
