Cont. from page one... MARIA BARTIROMO "SIDELINED" BY FOX By Lawrence Maglio
.....Then there was a change for a period of time, when the Fox News organization veered towards other candidates to replace Trump. In an article from the Hollywood Reporter, it stated: “For a long time after the settlement, Fox had pushed alternatives to Trump: DeSantis, Ramaswamy & Nikki Haley. But around Christmas last year it became clear Trump would be making a triumphant return.”
After Fox Business leadership issued an internal directive telling producers not to promote the President’s July 16, 2026, speech or run 2020 election segments, Bartiromo canceled a Navarro interview. By way of explanation, she texted Navarro a screenshot of the internal network guidance sent by Fox. She has since hired a high-powered lawyer to defend her interests. In her case, it is estimated that 20 million dollars remain on her contract ending in 2028 after a 12-1/2 year run at Fox News and Fox Business.
Maria is known to be close to the President and has been able to land many interviews with Trump. He made a statement on X praising her work as a journalist.
Her brand started when she became the first woman to report financial news daily from the floor of the New York Stock Exchange. She was dubbed “the money honey.” Maria was a local NYC resident raised in Borough Park, Brooklyn. She started in 1988 on CNN, followed by a run at CNBC from 1993 to 2013, where she reported from the floor of the NYSE. In 2014, she moved to Fox
Many media experts cite Fox’s risk aversion not only to lawsuits, but also to the chance of losing advertising dollars due to public controversy. While as a private entity, they have a right to control what subject areas they choose to cover. It seems a little odd to have such slogans as “Fair & Balanced” & "We Report, You Decide" at the same time they suppress discussion of a major presidential speech.
Bartiromo’s only comment (probably due to contractual restrictions) was on X, thanking her followers for their support. Fox may want to settle with her rather than have discovery show the inner workings of the corporate structure and the corporation’s political philosophy.
JUDICIAL OBSTRUCTION, THE POLITICIZATION OF THE JUDICIARY
JUDICIAL OBSTRUCTION
The Politicization of the Judiciary
Larry Maglio
If anything is clear to reasonable people, not suffering from Trump (TDS) Derangement Syndrome, President Trump has his hands full. Having been cheated out of victory in the 2020 election, forced to fight scurrilous criminal charges that could have potentially put him in jail for the rest of his life, and successfully having waged a campaign for a second term, President Trump has risen from the ashes as a sort of superhero figure. Now he gets to wage the big battle-saving a country that has been in decline on every level, culturally, economically, and politically.
On January 20th, he came out of the gate running, at a supersonic speed, to push his agenda of reversing the damage that four years of the Biden Administration had inflicted on the American people and our governmental system itself.
After the anti-American left caught their breath, they realized all the progress President Trump was making in the first 30 days in office and went into a panic. In reaction and alarm, they reflexively reverted to the tactics they had used in the past and employed that branch of government, the judiciary, to curtail his moving forward with his agenda as promised to the American people. Top of the list was the restoration of border security and the deportation of illegal aliens.
The left’s reaction, and use of the courts, was understandable, if not predictable, since they have used the courts to effect the changes they wanted when legislation was difficult to enact when trying to meet their goals and agenda. One example was the Chevron Deference doctrine in which the federal courts were required to defer to federal agencies' interpretations of ambiguous or unclear statutes instead of the courts imposing their own interpretation. This doctrine may have benefited the Democrats; however, it is ironic that it occurred during the Reagan era, when the Environmental Protection Agency was looking to loosen up environmental restrictions. So while both parties manipulate court rulings to their own advantage, giving this latitude to the bureaucracy is seen as one of the reasons for the growth of the administrative state and big government-usually something opposed by Republicans.
The left has often demonstrated that it is only interested in the law as a “means to an end” without respecting the process itself. It is merely a tool to achieve what they see as worthy goals.
In short order, they went on to diminish the rule of law by misusing the court system for partisan purposes-to stop the American First, and Pro-Constitution goals. They probably were concerned that all the misuse of power through the politicization of government agencies, targeted (persecution?) prosecutions of political rivals, and the attempt to derail the leading presidential candidate from running for president would result in a backlash where the hunters will now become the hunted. In short, they are desperate to slow up the progress of the Trump Administration with the midterms not too far away.
Since they have little respect for the process itself, they skillfully use the judiciary to achieve their goals and policies when legislation or constitutional amendments are not a viable option.
Many of the nationwide injunctions imposed on the Trump administration in his new term were brought in district courts where they would have a better chance of obtaining the desired outcome because the judges were likely to be favorable to the Democratic viewpoint.
The deportation case brought by the ACLU to the District Court in the District of Columbia, where Judge James Boasberg is the Chief Judge, is a case in point. It’s also the reason the Supreme Court ruled that the due process fell under the writ of habeas corpus, which requires the case to have been presented in a District Court in Texas, where the detainees were being held.
The basis for the deportation, according to the administration, was the Alien (AEA) Enemies Act, invoked only 3 times in our history. Though doubts have been raised about citing this law to justify the deportation, it seems to fall under the executive’s discretion and is subject to legal challenges and judicial review
According to a group called “Human Rights Watch,” looking to repeal this Act, it admits the following: “The act, however, requires no individualized determinations prior to detaining or removing an 'alien enemy,” let alone any guarantee of due process. To date, US courts have maintained that the only legal right to challenge the legality of detention or removal under the act lies in habeas corpus proceedings brought after the fact of a person’s detention….”
Thus, “Human Rights Watch” is actively seeking to have AEA repealed. So what role is the District Court playing? Is it to obstruct or delay the deportations? Are the opponents of the deportations banking on the cultural phenomenon that conservative judges like Roberts and Barrett live in the beltway and are subject to being sympathetic to these dangerous, criminal-illegal aliens? If this proves to be a factor, basically, we are dealing with judges subject to “wokeness” and not the rule of law. Our institutions may have already been compromised by the successful “march through the institutions,” like schools, the law profession, journalism, etc.
While legitimate questions exist about whether a 1798 law can be applied to the deportation of criminal-illegals who were members of Tren de Aragua from Venezuela, the larger issue involves the Separation of Powers under Article II and Article III of the Constitution.
Only recently has the use of Federal Court injunctions become more prevalent at the District Court level. Some experts claim this trend began forty years ago but accelerated during Trump’s first term. To give you some idea about the frequency of the use of these nationwide injunctions, there were 12 during the 8 years Obama was in office, 64 during Trump’s first term, and 14 under Biden. As of May 16, it is estimated that there have already been over 40 nationwide injunctions imposed to restrain the administration.

OVERALL VIEW OF THE USE OF THE DISTRICT COURT SYSTEM AND SOME UPDATES
Depending on the viewpoint, some see these conflicts as an outgrowth of the strong differences and polarization between the two major parties, while others a desperate attempt by the Democrats to stop Trump’s agenda from moving forward as promised during his campaign. The clear electoral victory, as exemplified by his having won all seven swing states, makes this obstructive behavior by the judiciary over the executive branch so much more onerous. There is no question that there has been an overreach on the part of the inferior court system under the powers of article 3 of the constitution. SCOTUS must step up and review the threat the judiciary is presenting to the authority of the executive branch. Many conservative government watchdog groups have been calling for the courts intervention in the matter.
It could be a dangerous trend in our judicial system when partisan judges can subvert the authority of another branch of the Federal government to impose their own will. It is no overstatement that this can be characterized as a Constitutional crisis especially when taken to the extreme.
The concept of the so called “loyal opposition” is undermined when polarization is so extreme that one party rejects any & all policies of the opposition. The use of Democrat appointees to the District Court system to cancel President Trump’s actions is a dangerous trend that threatens to immobilize required action to defend and protect the country.
The role of the inferior court system is mainly to resolve disputes between a plaintiff and a defendant in civil and criminal cases. The Democrats have been utilizing the courts to step in to block the actions of President Trump by seeking injunctive relief much more than the Republicans have in the past against the administrations of Democrats; there are several things to note about the shortcomings of this system.
1. The use of court shopping by filing a case to challenge a law through a venue that would give a better chance for a win.
2. The incongruity between inferior (District/Appellate) courts and the Supreme Court, with one judge deciding the case that impacts the entire nation, while the Supreme Court, the superior court, requires nine justices whose ruling is based on a majority vote.
3. Although uncommon, multiple District Courts can issue contradictory injunctions.
4. Diminishes the legislative process in some cases by allowing “legislating from the bench.”
5. Can destroy the credibility of the court by demonstrating a bias passed on political leanings.
The legislature is charged with defining the scope and structure of the inferior court system under the Constitution. There has been legislation floating around Congress to rein in the power of the District and Appellate courts to prevent one local court from undermining the authority of the executive with nationwide injunctions. The executive branch will be severely impacted if one of the 94 District (inferior) courts can stop executive action, especially in times of an emergency.
Instead of being equal branches of government, this will make the Executive branch subordinate to the Federal Court system and at its political whim. By the way, this is happening elsewhere in the world, such as Israel and Brazil. Can’t say if there is any direct connection, but the effect is to usurp the legislative and executive branches of government, reducing the sovereignty of the people.
Restricting the President’s ability to utilize the AEA has been seen by many as restricting his ability to conduct foreign policy and provide national security-one of the foremost obligations of the Executive.
It has been stated by John Adams: “Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” The willingness to “Game” the system to get to the desired outcome, with total disregard for the means employed, destroys faith in our system and how the founders envisioned it should work. This can and has been characterized as “legislating from the bench” and is a real threat to the balance of the three co-equal branches of government.
There is hope that legislation proposed in the House and intervention on the part of the Supreme Court will rein in the courts and limit their scope. The “No Rogue Rulings Act of 2025,” which passed the House in April 2025, would restrict district court orders to applying only to the parties in the case and those they directly represent. This is a step in the right direction, but a full review of the judiciary is sorely needed. Going to the beginnings of our country, Thomas Jefferson expressed strong concerns about the federal judiciary, particularly the Supreme Court, viewing it as a potential threat to states' rights and republican principles. He believed the judiciary could undermine the Constitution by expanding its own power and consolidating power into a centralized government.
How prophetic was that?
False Flag to Discredit or Self-Inflicted Wound?
False Flag to Discredit or Self-Inflicted Wound? Young
Republicans Lacked Accountability…Until Now?
The Definition of a Real Dumpster Fire!
By Lawrence Maglio
Politico recently broke a story about some private texts they obtained in which members of Young Republican Clubs from various states were published, which contained vile, insensitive, racial & ethnic slurs. The word “young” should not allow anyone to minimize the seriousness or weight of this reckless and cavalier behavior. After all, many of the individuals involved hold credible positions, such as Chief of Staff to an NY State Assemblyman, senior advisor within Trump’s Small Business Administration, staffer to a State Senator, and an actual State Senator from Vermont. These are people in real positions working for or as actual office holders.
Since this story broke, the leadership of the Republican Party in some of the states affected by the fallout from these revelations has already voted to suspend their young Republican Organizations.
These revelations come out against the backdrop of rumors and allegations that the former leader of The New York Young Republicans Club, Gavin Wax, had pressured Michael Bartels, who serves as a senior adviser in the office of general counsel within the U.S. Small Business Administration under President Trump, according to Bartels himself, by damaging his professional standing and position within the New York Young Republican Club organization.
This is an ongoing story that will probably unfold in the days to come to reflect possibly in fighting within the Young Republican Clubs involving character Assassination, extortion, or a political "hit" job from the opposition party-or a combination of all the above.
The messages were culled from (according to one of the participants) 28,000 messages over several months. It is difficult to fathom that individuals with this level of participation in politics and government operations would show such naiveté and callous disregard for their own reputations and that of the Republican Party.
The large pool of messages seems to give credence to this being a political “hit job.”
NY State Rep. Elise Stefanik denounced the chat, and NY Senate Minority Leader Rob Ortt called for members in the chat to resign.
The release of these “chats” is likely to signal to both major parties to caution individuals and groups affiliated with their parties to marshal their troops and leadership to exercise restraint and not assume private messages will not become public.
In this charged political climate, neither party can afford a self-inflicted wound caused by their own members, which requires focusing on damage control instead of building the Party’s reputation and brand.
More to follow......
UPDATE!
So-called “Alt-Right” political personality, Milo Yiannopoulos, said he “was told” that Gavin pressured (extorted) Bartels to share the chat logs with him or risk hurting his career. Also, Milo was told Gavin sent the logs to Politico. If all this is true, it was a self-inflicted wound from within, not an orchestrated hit job from Democrats. Bartels is still working with the Small Business Administration and has supplied to Politico a notarized affidavit indicating that he was pressured by Gavin Wax to provide him with the text messages. It was not clear whether he actually did supply the messages or if Gavin Wax was the source of the texts that Politico released in their publication. Whether this was an internal feud that escalated into the public view or not, the damage done by the young Republicans sharing distasteful and, quite frankly, very juvenile quips will have an impact in how the Party supervises its various groups under the Republican brand.

SPY RING OR IRANIAN INFLUENCE RING?
SPY RING OR IRANIAN INFLUENCE RING?
By Larry Maglio
The above title is borrowed from a phrase contained within an article in “Revolver” and is central to my frustration with the state of the American psyche, whether the general public or the alternative media. For our readers, the backstory, in short, can be accessed at Revolver News and the Tablet; both will give you step-by-step presentations of both the Obama and Biden Administrations' bad policy judgment in an Iranian staff infiltration into our Defense Department and intelligence access to highly classified documents, all between 2014 and 2023. The Biden Administration has recently suspended the United States special envoy to Iran, Robert Malley, who apparently funded, supported, and communicated with Iranian intelligence for the purpose of influencing U.S. policy, based on newly discovered emails with Iranian officials.
As you read the details in Revolver News and Tablet Magazine, you will discover what most intelligence specialists would consider a diplomatic spy ring with our arch-enemy Iran, right under our nose. Even the left-leaning "The Nation," in an article dismissing the spy ring story as "disinformation," admitted two of the Analysts under Malley were acting as ghostwriters for the Iranian foreign ministry, writing op-ed articles. However, they claimed the forensic proof was questionable in confirming this was verifiable.

ARE CCP POLICE IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD
A CONTRIBUTING STORY SUBMITTED BY LARRY MAGLIO
Group allegedly spying on Chinese
nationals had Mayor Adams as an
honored guest at gala.
By ISABEL VINCENT, NY POST
The troubled charity that runs a Chinese police station in Lower Manhattan, allegedly set up to spy on Chinese nationals in the US, held its annual gala dinner last month with Eric Adams as its honored guest — but the mayor did not disclose his participation at the event on his official agenda, The Post has learned
Adams attended the glitzy Sept. 26 dinner at a Flushing, Queens, restaurant, sponsored by the America ChangLe Association NY Inc., which owns and operates the police station on East Broadway that has been accused by a human rights group of spying on the Chinese diaspora. The non-profit was blacklisted by the IRS in May, according to public records.
According to his official public schedule, Adams returned from a short visit to the Dominican Republic that day “to support recovery efforts following Hurricane Fiona.” The schedule indicated that Adams would travel back to New York City in the afternoon, but it made no mention of the dinner, which began at 6 p.m
[The America ChangLe Association NY Inc. paid $1.3 million for offices at 107 East Broadway that house the Fuzhou Police Overseas Chinese Affairs bureau, filings show. Watchdogs claim it is used for keeping tabs on Chinese nationals in the US. William Farrington.
However, according to photos posted of the event by businessman George Xu on his LinkedIn page, Adams was onstage at the event. Other Democrats in attendance included State Senator John Liu and City Council Member Sandra Ung, and representatives from the offices of Congresswoman Grace Meng and City Council member Christopher Marte. At least two members of the NYPD were also seen in the photos.
Xu, a Queens-based real estate developer, attended the party, which featured 1,000 guests and celebrated the inauguration of America Chang Le Association’s new president, James Lu, according to his LinkedIn post Lu, the president of a Queens-based food company, contributed $4,000 to Adams’ mayoral campaign in 2019 and 2021, according to public records Adams, seen here at the Sept. 26 event, received $4,000 in political donations from the man who is now America ChangLe’s president, James Lu, public records show.
At the dinner, Adams made a speech honoring the America ChangLe Association, according to a Queens-based Chinese language news service post. “As an important and powerful social organization, the ChangLe Association of the United States gathers a large number of economic talents, makes great contributions to New York where they live, and plays an important role in promoting new immigrants to improve their quality of life in New York,” Adams said, according to the outlet
The non-profit, which was incorporated in New York in 2013 and listed its charitable mission as a “social gathering place for Fujianese people,” paid $1.3 million three years later for the suite of offices at 107 East Broadway that houses the Fuzhou Police Overseas Chinese Affairs bureau, filings show
In May, the IRS yanked the group’s tax-exempt status for failing to submit tax filings for three straight years, according to public records. A phone number linked to the charity’s East Broadway offices “is currently turned off or temporarily offline,” a recording says
The Manhattan police station is part of a web of more than 100 such law enforcement offices set up around the world by the People’s Republic of China, ostensibly to help Chinese nationals renew their government-issued identification and drivers’ licenses
But the stations allegedly have a darker purpose, according to a recently released whistle-blower report.“Openly labeled as overseas police service stations … they contribute to ‘resolutely cracking down on all kinds of illegal and criminal activities involving overseas Chinese,’” claims a September report by Safeguard Defenders, a Madrid-based human rights group that documents Chinese repression around the world.
Also in attendance at the event were City Council Member Sandra Ung and representatives from the offices of Congresswoman Grace Meng and City Council member Christopher Marte, as well as members of the NYPD.
The stations also participate in “intimidation, harassment, detention or imprisonment” to spy on dissenters and return migrants, according to the report
“These latest revelations show Mayor Adams is failing to fundamentally ensure the people of New York City and the world that their safety and wellbeing are firmly rooted in the laws of the United States of America, not the Communist Party of China,” said Tom Anderson, director of the Government Integrity Project at the National Legal and Policy Center, a Virginia-based watchdog group
Federal agents have long sought to crack down on spying and harassment of Chinese nationals by the Chinese government in the US. On Thursday, the Department of Justice unsealed an indictment against seven Chinese nationals in Brooklyn, charging them with “participating in a scheme to cause the forced repatriation of a PRC national residing in the United States,” according to a DOJ press release
“These latest revelations show Mayor Adams [seen above with Liu at a different event] is failing to fundamentally ensure the people of New York City and the world that their safety and wellbeing are firmly rooted in the laws of the United States of America, not the Communist Party of China,” said the director of one watchdog group. Matthew McDermott
“The victims in this case sought to flee an authoritarian government, leaving behind their lives and family, for a better life here,” said Michael Driscoll, Assistant Director-in-Charge of the FBI’s New York Field Office in the statement. “That same government sent agents to the United States to harass, threaten, and forcibly return them to the People’s Republic of China. The actions we allege are illegal, and the FBI will not allow adversaries to break laws designed to protect our nation and our freedom.
”Calls and emails to Liu and Ung were not returned Friday.
”Obviously the mayor would never support that,” said a spokesperson for the mayor, referring to spying by Chinese police. “The mayor is invited to and attends dozens of events each week. His attendance is either to show support for a local community or boost the city and does not constitute any kind of endorsement.
“Members of the NYPD’s Community Affairs Bureau were invited to attend a gala held by the America ChangLe Association of NY in September. There were roughly 1000 members of the Asian community present at this event,” a DCPI spokesperson told The Post. “NYPD Community Affairs members were there to promote community relations and safety, as they do at any event they attend. A spokeswoman for Marte confirmed that “a representative of our office was in attendance. We were unaware of any illegal affiliations with the Chinese government.
BLAMING THE SOLUTION NOT THE PROBLEM
BLAMING THE SOLUTION, NOT THE PROBLEM. HOW TRUMPS STRONG MEASURES TO DEFEAT THE DEEP STATE ARE MIS-TARGETED AS EXTREME
By Lawrence Maglio
Russia Gate, Impeachment 1-Coercion of Zelenskyy, Impeachment 2-Inciting (J6) an Insurrection, and the use of Lawfare to prosecute Trump and his allies, including conservatives with Pro-Life views and J6 protestors, are only some of the indicators that the U.S. was entering into the realm of becoming a “Banana Republic.” This type of government is found in third-world countries in South America and around the world, where the rule of law is replaced by a “hit list” of people who are the “opposition.” Unlike our country, no predicate for a prosecution is necessary to be charged with a crime.
In the last four years, we have moved away from the constitutional protections requiring a crime to exist before a grand jury is convened or a District Attorney formally files charges against a potential defendant. The pretense of a crime is found to selectively prosecute those individuals considered an enemy or a threat to the political party in power.
For example, the valuation of Mar a Logo property was a nonissue, where experts testified that the process followed on behalf of President Trump was standard business practice without an injury to anyone. The lenders indicated they were very satisfied with the repayment of the loan.
Many of us witnessing the politicization of our judicial system were greatly disturbed by these events, not merely because of what was done to individuals involved, including President Trump, but also to what it said about the state of our system.
After all, if this could be done to a billionaire, it can be done to any of us. We saw the Colorado Supreme Court attempt to take President Trump off the Presidential Ballot based on section 3 of the 14th amendment of the U.S. Constitution only to be rebuked by the Supreme Court. Now that the national nightmare (trauma) is over with the clear victory of President Trump, the opportunity must not be missed to prevent a re-occurrence by holding those who were responsible to uphold not only the letter, but the spirit of the law.
When you contrast President Trump’s whirlwind of executive actions taken in his first two weeks to my general summary of only some of the egregious actions taken by the Democrats (the so called “loyal opposition” ) locally and on the federal level to individuals and our system, it is easy to see this is not about retribution-it is about preventing selectively using the law as a weapon against anyone in the future!
President Trump’s Cabinet nominees were consistent with this theme of reform. First, let’s start with of his cabinet nominee Kash Patel who clearly stated that no American should have to be subjected to the type of political persecution that occurred during the Biden Administration. He was for reforming the FBI to prevent the politicization of the agency in the future. Robert Kennedy was focused on the undue influence of the money of big pharma in Health and Human Services especially the FDA and the NIH To Make America (MAHA) Healthy Again decisions must be made clear about the corrupt practices that place the American people and their children second when making decisions on health and food safety.
Personally, I was glad to hear the President was asking for the review of all those DOJ personnel involved in the baseless prosecutions of at that time, presidential candidate Donald Trump and the political targeting of citizens with a conservative viewpoint of being pro-life or fighting to ensure the integrity of elections by questioning the election of 2020.
Although some may view this as “extreme” to me it is a necessary step in preventing us from slipping into a fascist totalitarian form of government. The events of the last four years have shaken many of us, maybe for the better, since we no longer take these freedoms for granted.
I feel optimistic about these initial steps as a starting point; however, without a return to “Americanism” where respect for the constitution our founders gave us is reinforced in our schools, the recovery will be short-lived. The “left” has had free rein in damaging our institutions. Journalism, Education, and Religion have been tainted by radical and irrational ideas (of the far left & possibly Marxists?) replacing critical thought and debate. The “snowflake” culture perpetuated has shut down discussion and diversity of opinion-the very foundation of a free society.
Journalism which once questioned everybody, now “advocates” for social causes, many of which are highly questionable and divisive. Religion now replaces truth for feel good causes, where the individual (and the soul) are subjugated to the “collective.” The legal profession no longer follows the law, but looks for the correct (liberal) outcome. Many who are part of the legal system no longer revere the constitution for protecting individual rights, but look for the correct social justice outcome. President Obama in an interview disparaged the Constitution as merely "a charter of negative liberties.”
Concepts like “post-modernism” have set back objective thought in this country. So although I am thrilled with the President’s whirlwind actions to reverse the tide, I am deeply concerned and hope we all remain vigilant in realizing the seriousness of the task at hand in repairing the fundamentals of our Constitutional Republic for our children and grandchildren to continue to live free.
Samuel Adams said: “Neither the wisest constitution nor the wisest laws will secure the liberty and happiness of a people whose manners are universally corrupt. He therefore is the truest friend of the liberty of his country who tries most to promote its virtue.”
If this battle to save our Republic seems messy or extreme, that’s because it is. To right the extreme damage to our country and institutions that has been done under the last administration the Democrat Party will take extreme measures to correct. You decide if there is any other option, I know for myself there isn’t. Remember the damage may have accelerated the last four years, but the formation of the “Deep State” took over sixty years in the making. May God Bless America and freedom!

THE TRAUMATIZATION OF AMERICAN PSYCHE
The Traumatization of the American Psyche
By Larry Maglio
At the risk of sounding cliché, it has been said we are living in interesting, if not unusual times. It was reported the Chinese had a saying, “May you live in interesting times.” While the origins of this expression are still disputed, it has also been characterized as a Chinese curse because of the ironic nature of the expression. Interesting could mean turbulent times, war, etc. A related expression also attributed to the Chinese “It is better to be a dog during peacetime than a human in times of war” further shapes the paradoxical nature of "interesting times."
As a 13-year-old, John F. Kennedy, a childhood hero of mine, and others, was assassinated. Our collective feeling of security would never be the same. True my father and my uncles had dealt with Pearl Harbor, serving in WW2, and being witness to the extreme carnage and brutality experienced by our soldiers in the Korean War, however, events would start to rattle our security as a nation in our homeland from that point forward.
The turmoil starting with the Civil Rights movement, the Bay of Pigs fiasco, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Vietnam War, urban riots, the assassinations of MLK, & RFK helped to shatter a sense of domestic tranquility.
The assault continues today and has cost us as nation-we are no longer shocked because we are now suffering collectively from a form of post-traumatic stress (PTSD) disorder. We are beyond “shock” and somewhat desensitized to our new reality.
This is not without significant impact on our ability to grasp what is going on in our current realm. The numbing effect of being inundated with so many unprecedented events, both small and large is preventing any one event from getting the attention it should. We can hardly process the information when we are hit with some new event. For instance, Fani Willis’s boyfriend is known to have met with the Biden administration on one or two occasions.
In the past, our country was unlikely to tolerate open attempts to undermine the justice system, yet Nathan Wade’s collusion with the White House brings into question the Democrat's willingness to use the justice system to interfere in an election with no real legal basis.
The overreach of Biden’s executive branch to use the judicial system to sideline a competitor who is running ahead in the polls is the true crime. Compared to Richard Nixon’s charges regarding Watergate of “Obstruction of Justice” and “Abuse of Power” this ongoing attempt to derail President Trump’s election is far more dangerous to our Republic. Despite the significance of this alleged collusion, it hardly is in the headlines. Why? Partly, because the mainstream media fails to report news like professional journalists and in part because we the people have become numb to the extraordinary events of the day.
All this points to a grand conspiracy, which the “swamp” and the politicized government agencies, are not about to investigate. Not only does this conspiracy involve local jurisdictions in several states and the Federal government, but the timing of the prosecutions seems to point to a coordinated effort to negatively impact the leading opponent of the current occupant of the White House.
Meanwhile, the feckless Republicans show no inclination to roll up their sleeves and start demanding through their committees the log records of these meetings between Nathan Wade and the Administration to subpoena all parties to expose the true purpose of these meetings.
Maybe they will hit a vein of who is behind this conspiracy. Obama, Soros, the Clintons, Zuckerberg, and the remaining Koch brother. Who knows? This lawlessness must not be allowed to take place without repercussions-otherwise it will never stop.
James O’keefe, I know you are doing a lot to fight for truth and justice. Maybe you can put people inside the Justice Department and “fish” information on what’s going, on and who’s behind the underhanded if not outright illegal strategies we are witnessing to derail a major political candidate for President of the United States.
Maybe the citizens of New York can do a FOIA request asking for all Alvin Bragg’s visitors in the last two years before he decided to prosecute President Trump. Connections can likely be made.
As a youth, I watched with amazement at the Congressional hearings where the witnesses were given no quarter. They were questioned seriously and forcefully. When necessary they were broken by being caught in a lie. Today it seems like a pre-arranged show of amateur prosecutors who can’t frame a question maybe with the exception of Elise Stefanik.
In any case, quote of the slogan of James O’Keefe’s Media (OMG) Group: “Be brave, do something.” Let’s make sure we don’t become so callous and numb, that we accept these “interesting times” as the norm-they are not. Do something, otherwise we lose this republic worked and fought for by our founders and those that followed.
BURGER KING CHRONICLES-THE GREAT DIVIDE

It’s often the unexpected events and happenstance that shape our viewpoint. The other day, after fasting for some bloodwork (including no caffeine) I stopped at the local Burger King for a quick bite and more significantly, my first cup of coffee of the day at 4 PM.
While I was about to “dig in” I overheard another customer in my proximity, struggle with the phrase: “The Biden………family” while speaking to woman, who appeared to be his wife, I decided to jump in and complete his thought. Excuse me I think you’re looking for the phrase: “The Biden Crime Family.” The gentleman smiled and acknowledged that was what he was looking for. Meanwhile his wife turned and asked me if I was a Trump supporter. I acknowledged without hesitation that I was and proud of it.
I went on to say I don’t know how anyone could support any political figure that was as corrupt as Joe Biden. She had a painful look on her face and started to spew out the usual diatribe about President Trump’s family being just as guilty of the same offenses. I retorted if his children had a fraction of the criminality of Hunter they would now be in prison serving a very long sentence.
It turns out the husband was in total agreement with me. The wife asked me what my wife thought of Trump. When I said I lost her several years ago she expressed her sympathy. The question reminded me of something I often wondered about. While she was always someone that I could always rely on to use logic, reasoning and “out of the lines” thinking I also knew she had a very strong sense of propriety and civility.
Would she have fallen prey to the propaganda of Trump being too crudely direct for public office or would she get it and appreciate that this was his strength?
Trump would not be intimidated by any “politically correct” intimidation in an effort to suppress his getting his message out. After all from the start they portrayed Trump as an over the top figure which in the current “politically correct” climate would label a man an ogre for not hesitating to push back on anyone who attacked him and his message, even if it was coming from a woman.
When they were leaving the husband jokingly said to wish him luck and I told the wife not to be so stressed about Trump that life is too short, etc. etc.
It was revealing that although I live in one of the five boroughs that I like to characterize as the “Free Republic of Staten Island” the media has done its damage with their propaganda and lies. This is a modern day aberration unlike any other time in our history. In spite of the 45th President having a long list of accomplishments and promises kept, the division caused by “Trump derangement syndrome” still persists enough to keep us divided.
Unlike other times in our history this is a division created by the corporate mass media. Social media and small news outlets get the truth out, with much of the populace, but are also victims of manipulation, cancellation and “fact checkers” that distort the impact of their message.
All is not lost, and there is plenty of reason to be optimistic but we must realize the obstacles they present are making what normally would be an overwhelming victory for Donald J. Trump now a question. It shouldn’t even be close.
Whether it is suppression of information about Hunter Biden, or a clear examination of the 2020 election the corporate media has unduly tilted the scales in favor of the extreme left and the globalists. Can Trump heal the country and return free speech-a pillar of or republic upon his (with divine intervention) return in 2024?
THE GOP COUNTY
COMMITTEE SYSTEM- A SYSTEM OF APPARATCHIKS?
By Larry Maglio
Merriam-Webster, Definition: apparatchik noun ap·pa·rat·chik ˌ
ä-pə-ˈrä(t)-chik plural: aparatchiks also apparatchiki ä- pə-rä(t)-chi-kē
1: a member of a Communist apparat 2: a blindly devoted official, follower, or member of an organization (such as a corporation or political party)
A couple of years ago, I decided to take the advice of Daniel Shultz and follow his guidance to become a committee person. The premise was if the grassroots was engaged in the political process, things would be easier for my favorite President, Donald J. Trump to help turn around those trends that threaten our republic.
At that time I was virtually clueless as to the serious shape we were in as a nation. I always distrusted the government from the time I became a Reagan Republican. Going through the national traumas of three assassinations, 9/11, and wars without end I slowly woke up to the reality that we were not “fully” in control as a sovereign people.
However, a simplistic view of the super-rich vs the everyday citizen did not explain what was happening in our country. The shape and form of what we were fighting only came clear when 45, the “disruptor” plowed through the status quo, the conventional Washington group-think and showed that our system can work, and work well.
The only thing that is important to remember, as a disruptor he antagonized both sides of the aisle who were vested in what we now know is a corrupt system that superseded the interests of the citizens. Donors with deep pockets were always in control but this was never revealed until Donald T. Trump pushed back with common sense policies that made the system work for all socio-economic classes, ethnicities, and races.
The ire of the elites was provoked by this challenge to their monopoly on policies that favored them but not the citizenry in general. Most all his policies had positive results and were put in place legally without violating his oath of office to uphold the Constitution of the United States. President Trump once said his greatest achievement may be having exposed the depth of the “Deep State” and the media in our country and its negative impact on our political system. This challenge to the elites was an existential threat to their power. This can be evidenced by the extreme reaction of this group as exemplified by (cancel culture) censorship, the politicization of government agencies, collusion of government with the press, election manipulation, and unequal justice through the use of political prosecution of Trump supporters among other areas too numerous to mention here.
The unprecedented heat of this fight between the establishment and the “MAGA” movement, had some in the general population question whether Trump was too volatile, so radioactive that he would be a liability in taking back the Republic.
The party system has evolved to try not to go to any extremes in their selection of candidates or establishment of party platforms. Here’s my take: Extreme times require extreme measures. The local Republican Party instead of stoking the fire is looking to ignore or quell it. This is a BIG mistake! Instead of capturing the passion of people disgusted by the attempt to indoctrinate children, take down statues that represent our founding, or try to smear the America First (MAGA) Movement and its followers as terrorists, the apparatchiks go with milk toast or candidates that are ineffective in giving the messaging that would bring independents, and possible Democrats over to our side.
PART 2 - THE STRUCTURAL FLAW IN THE GOP PARTY SYSTEM
The evolution of the party structure seems to be bpased on the false premise that progressivism is inevitable. Maybe they don’t like to embrace the harsh concept of “social Darwinism” where the individual with his God-given gifts and attributes advances through their own efforts to achieve whatever level they can in society in spite of the government. The party has been corrupted with liberal ideology and the donor class over the years and has diluted its message to the point many elected officials are considered RINOS or members of a Uni-Party with little distance in their beliefs and approach from that of Democrats. The leadership and their apparatchiks are not principled conservatives or constitutionalists in the vein of Senator Barry Goldwater and the Republican Presidential Candidate in 1964. Goldwater did not equivocate on the principles of liberty and freedom. It was not negotiable or subject to softening to be made more palatable to the other side of political expediency. He stated “I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue” Today, the Party, including the RNC itself is trying to distance itself from the harsh reality that the country is on fire in a state of emergency. The party allowed events like Jan 6 and the COVID hysteria to manipulate public opinion and the electoral process. What comprehensive steps has Rona McDaniel taken to ensure our presidential election? Instead of dealing with these difficult issues that present an existential threat to our country, leaders like Kevin McCarthy affirmed in a phone call with Steve Scalise, that he thought it was an insurrection. When that tape surfaced he should have been removed as speaker right then and there. So where are we today? The leadership supports candidates that don’t offend the independents and Democrats instead of helping to promote statesmen who can articulate the message of the loss of our liberties and the general decline of our country. Now, more than ever the opportunity exists to connect with people disenfranchised by the loss of their purchasing power and the continuation of the federal government fanning inflation with massive expenditures to accommodate illegals and support a futile war in Ukraine. People don’t miss the irony of our borders going unprotected while with through money for a foreign country to defend theirs. The party has to have a conversation. Is it better to have a congressman who’s a Republican but votes half the time for Democrat Party bills or to have a solid conservative-constitutionalist? Either way, the answer is grassroots participation. The large number of vacancies that exist shows there is no great push to recruit full participation in county politics. Couldn’t this help with the need for “boots on the ground” and the infusion of new ideas? My first experience at my first Committee meeting was a vote as to whether we agreed to the agenda as advertised. I was surprised to see a unanimous “Yay” vote. At my next meeting, I intend to vote nay, just for the hell of it.
If we as individuals can’t step up and be bold we can’t expect to change the system and stand to lose the country. The 20 rebels who gave Speaker McCarthy his marching orders are a prime example. Although it may feel awkward, or uncomfortable, we must do what is necessary just like 45.* Join the party and be a pest to the status quo instead of just winning. We can make a difference.
*P.S. Talking to others within the 5 Boroughs and New Jersey, the political entrenchment of party apparatchiks is not uncommon.members new products and more easily and creatively. To start add an image from the Image Picker and edit it as
