KLAR: Big Food Is Spreading Disinformation About the MAHA Movement

3 hours 42 sec ago

An explosive article in The Guardian found that Big Food-funded social media influencers are being paid to discredit MAHA and persuade Americans to keep eating processed food. The industrial food system that has inflicted chronic disease on Americans has never been interested in providing healthy foods for its customers. Not surprisingly, it is doubling down ... Read more

SHURTLEFF: Surviving The Marxist Orwellian Memory Hole 

7 hours 42 sec ago

In George Orwell’s dystopic novel 1984, the “memory hole was a small chute that led to an incinerator used to destroy documents, newspaper articles and anything that the “Party” wanted to erase from history.  Fiction had become fact in the United States.  It reached a crescendo during the Black Lives Matter-Antifa riots after the death ...

Morning Update: Anti-Trumpers Miss America

10 hours 42 sec ago

Today, on the Morning Update, fresh news out of Europe from Americans who fled there when Trump won in 2024. They were misled. They miss America. Europe really sucks.

MACDONALD: Saving Social Security

21 hours 42 sec ago

It has become common on the right to suggest that, given the massive amount of fraud that’s been occurring uninterrupted across America for how many years we can’t even say, at least some of the deficit is a result of not policing it. The fraud. If we cut a few trillion in fraud across every ... Read more

The Democrats’ latest false promise, “Medicare for All”, will degrade the healthcare Seniors paid for all their lives, leading to more suffering, more deaths, and higher costs.   “Medicare for All” means everyone in America, including millions of illegal aliens that Democrats want in our country, will receive Medicare.     Medicare funding is already ...

COLQUHOUN: Republicans Need to Vote, and Vote Republican

Thu, 2026-10-22 21:00 +0000

I have never considered myself a MAGA Republican. I have always considered myself a conservative. From my perspective, MAGA is not a departure from conservatism but rather an expression of it. Conservatives spent decades advocating for secure borders, fair trade, America First policies, limited government, constitutional protections, and respect for our nation’s symbols and traditions. ...

LOTHROP: Socialism Is On The Ballot In November

Thu, 2026-10-22 18:00 +0000

Growing up in England, I was always aware of the socialist inclinations of my mother country. But I was lucky; I was brought up in a conservative household embracing a deep reverence for tradition, a strong sense of community, and pride in national identity. English conservatism is very cultural and institutional. Socialism in the UK ... Read more

MACDONALD: Gov. Nuisance in NH s/b Bad for NH Dems

Thu, 2026-10-22 16:00 +0000

When I say bad for NH Dems, and in this case I think it was the Congressional Dems that Hairgel was using as mules for his 2028 Presidential aspirations, it isn’t bad for them and their base. The progressive groundlings love ’em some, Gov. Nuisance. They’d build shrines in the back of their closets if ... Read more

CARDELLO: Why Democrats Resort to Fear When Their Message Fails

Thu, 2026-10-22 14:00 +0000

Accusations are flying from both sides about the government’s weaponization for political gain. We know that there have been behind-the-scenes actions taken against opponents for years; look up Watergate on Google. But the modern version has its roots in the Obama administration. Whether out of seeking power over the opposition or outright fear, Obama used ... Read more

BOWMAN: Subdue The Enemy Without Fighting

Thu, 2026-10-22 02:00 +0000

When I compare today’s heated demonstrations and destructive actions with America’s unity, which comes to mind when I hear “the United States,” I recall an old quote from the Chinese war strategist Sun Tzu: “The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.” America’s military is unequaled, so this strategy not only ...

SMITH: Melanie Levesque is Diversifying Her Message

Wed, 2026-10-21 21:00 +0000

Ms. Melanie Levesque is trying to diversify her campaign message.  It appears that she’s recognizing that the same old talking points of commuter rail, Planned Parenthood, and pro-Claremont activist judges are not resonating among independents. Instead of presenting action plans that can be implemented from the executive council chamber, Melanie is digging for dirt on ... Read more

CARDELLO: They Weaponized The DOJ

Wed, 2026-10-21 18:00 +0000

Let’s take a look at the ridiculous hysteria the mainstream media is experiencing this week. Actually, every week is the same when it comes to Left-Wing media meltdowns. To be fair, hysteria is only second to TDS as a communicable disease on the networks. The Monday morning raid on Congresswoman Ilhan Omar’s residence in Washington ... Read more

The Attribution Window Shrank to Zero: Why Marketing Mix Models Are Being Rebuilt Around Sessions That Never Had a First Touch

Wed, 2026-10-21 14:59 +0000

Most marketing leaders still assume the attribution window shrank because tracking got harder. The real reason is simpler and more awkward: the first touch stopped existing in any form anyone could record. A shopper reads an answer inside a chat interface, hears the brand mentioned on a podcast, taps a link forwarded in a private ... Read more

Who Is Responsible When a Lithium Battery Burns Down a Rented Apartment?

Wed, 2026-10-21 14:56 +0000

When a lithium-ion battery ignites inside a rented apartment, the question of who pays rarely has one answer, and the fight starts the moment the hoses are rolled up. The battery pack, the charger, the device, the outlet, the lease, the renter’s policy, the landlord’s policy, the retailer who sold the thing, the importer who ... Read more
