Morning Update: White House Flex

15 min 32 sec ago

MACDONALD: Political Targeting

9 hours 15 min ago

Not to beat a dead donkey, but the left can claim that Trump engaged in political targeting until the blue cows come home. Two inconvenient truths literally trump TRUMP.

IMANI: The Coup

11 hours 15 min ago

The foundational argument against the legitimacy of the results begins with numbers showing uniform swings across non-contiguous battlegrounds, violating basic principles of demographic distribution. The primary anomaly centers on contested battleground outcomes in which one party wins 29 of 30 coin-flip congressional races. In probability theory, independent coin-flip distributions do not resolve with a 96.7% success rate ... Read more

MACDONALD: The Green Meanies Are Coming (Back) …

Thu, 2026-11-12 22:00 +0000

Thanks to the Trump Administration, I’ve had a nearly two-year break, with a few exceptions, from exploring radical climate cult stupidity. Remarking on their hijinks could fill a few volumes, but aside from some odd bits about Trump and his EPA sending them into fits, there hasn’t been much to talk about. The midterms have ...

SMITH: Blindsided By Your Home’s Appraisal? What You CAN Do

Thu, 2026-11-12 17:00 +0000

Seeing the WMUR story on Merrimack took me down an unpleasant Memory Lane to the genesis of my own RTK journey 4 years ago.  I opened a letter from Vision Government Solutions claiming my mobile home was worth almost 3.5 times the amount listed, at least based on the 2017 valuation.  In 2017, I got ...

Thu, 2026-11-12 12:00 +0000

Today, on the Morning Update, the gender blender has a thing that’s apparently been around for years, but we missed it. MtM. Male to Male. A trans man who was born a man and is transitioning to a man, just not the one you think. And of course he has his own flag. Watch on ... Read more

OPINION: Amtrak Going Down The New Hampshire Track

Thu, 2026-11-12 10:00 +0000

Each day an often late and mostly empty Amtrak train makes a stop at Claremont Junction, New Hampshire. It’s a train that has become a quixotic example of what is wrong with state subsidized passenger rail and an example of what more will be coming for New Hampshire and the rest of New England. Each ... Read more

OPINION: Has Faucism Destroyed a Hollywood Film Icon?

Thu, 2026-11-12 03:00 +0000

Brownstone Institute Summary Ridley Scott’s new science-fiction film opens after a catastrophic flu has erased most of humanity. A pilot, his dog, and an armed former Marine inhabit what remains. The machinery is familiar: contagion, social collapse, desperate survivors, violent scavengers, and one more search for a pocket of human decency after civilization has failed. ... Read more

MACDONALD: Will Voters Be Mad?

Wed, 2026-11-11 22:00 +0000

Blue Texas is about to meet the “affordability” agenda. Texas Dems have a long list of anti-freedom, anti-property legislation to steamroll through the session, and nothing short of an actual insurrection can stop it. The rigged mantra makes sense given the numbers I’ve seen, but until you prove it in court, well – it’s just ... Read more

OPINION: Politicians Come and Go. The Machinery of Oppression Remains

Wed, 2026-11-11 19:00 +0000

A revolution can topple a tyrant without dismantling tyranny. An election can replace a president without curbing the powers of the presidency. A new political majority can inherit the instruments of repression and adapt them to their own purposes. In other words, what good is a political change if the weapons of oppression merely change ...

IMANI: Complacency and Migration Are Costing Us Our Strongholds

Wed, 2026-11-11 15:00 +0000

The results are in, and for many conservatives, the reality is difficult to process. In a shocking political shift, a traditionally Republican stronghold in Texas has unexpectedly flipped blue. For decades, the Lone Star State stood as an unshakeable bastion of conservative values, free markets, and individual liberty since the 1980s. Yet recent electoral outcomes ... Read more
