The left filed so many lawsuits; it is easy to lose track of them. I think, as a guideline, we should assume that if Trump did something, there’s a suit to stop it. Where they are on the judicial ladder depends on whether a district court judge issues a stay or injunction. The other matter … Read more

President Trump’s State of the Union (SOTU) honored America’s heroes, sympathized with crime victims, and described how he’s improving Americans’ lives. The Democrat response, by recently inaugurated Virginia Governor Spanberger, claimed, with incredible chutzpah, that Trump has made life less affordable and more dangerous. President Biden and his Democrat Congress drove the 1.4% inflation he … Read more
During the Biden years, things were a lot like Joe. In a state of slow decline. The big news was what the so-called news was saying to paper over Joe’s dementia, or what his handlers were doing to hide it. The Easter bunny keeps Joe away from the kids. Joe gets lost of 20 x … Read more
Hakeem Sekou Jeffries has been the U.S. Representative for New York’s 8th congressional district since 2013. For some reason, he is the man-in-waiting for the Democratic Party and has been waiting to take the gavel away from the Republicans. Since the reign of Nancy Pelosi, Jeffries has been the heir apparent to the Party leadership … Read more

Welcome to a special Saturday edition of the Morning Update.

One thing is guaranteed when you are monitoring the thoughts and actions of the Left. Just when you think that they cannot say anything more stupid, illogical, or irrational, they dig down deeper into their personal rabbit hole and go lower. Gavin Newsom is already running for President, and why shouldn’t he? He has already … Read more

True to form and even to some expectations, the heartless display that was aired during President Trump’s State of the Union speech, from the so-called democrat segment, was actually a revisit to and validation of what former Congressman Allen West’s declaration asserted way back in 2012. It was then that he stated, “There’s about 78-81 … Read more
The shellacking the New England Patriots received at the hands of the Seattle Seahawks is analogous to the decisive blows God-fearing patriots have suffered for decades. At the 1971 Super Bowl, Anita Bryant sang “God Bless America” during the halftime show. In 2026, the NFL’s pick of Bad Bunny is considered representative of modern America. … Read more
