Imagine a prosecutor with unlimited resources, a mandate from the top, and a laser focus on one man: Donald J. Trump. Now picture that same prosecutor stumbling through congressional testimony, dodging questions with "I don't recall," and admitting his star evidence was little more than gossip. That's the reality of Jack Smith's doomed crusade – a saga of leaks, lies, and lawfare that reeks of political desperation.

California was once the shining symbol of American dreams—innovation, opportunity, and endless possibility. Today, it's a cautionary tale: skyrocketing costs, crumbling infrastructure, rampant homelessness, wildfires raging out of control, and a mass exodus of families and businesses. These aren't random misfortunes. They're symptoms of a profound governance failure—the near-total collapse of our state constitution into a bloated, contradictory disaster that has shredded the

Imagine embarking on a road trip from your home in the Bay Area, heading north along Interstate 5. The journey begins with the familiar hum of urban California fading into the rearview mirror as you climb into the Sierra Nevada foothills.But then, as you crest a subtle rise north of the mountain—perhaps around Weed or edging toward Montague—the scenery shifts dramatically. The tight, forested confines give way to an immense, open expanse. Rolling hills stretch out like a rump

Redding residents and concerned citizens came out in droves on Tuesday evening, January 13th to voice their concerns and opposition to a proposed Alternative Correction Facility and Future Jail, that was the subject of a rezoning hearing put before the Redding City Planning Commission.  Many safety, economic, and environmental concerns were brought up by 35 speakers at the hearing, which resulted in no action being taken by the Commissioners.

Socialism, in its various forms, has long appealed to those seeking economic equality, universal access to essential services, and protection from the excesses of capitalism. At its core, it promises a system where the state or collective ownership controls the means of production, aiming to distribute resources based on need rather than profit. However, time and again, socialist experiments have faltered at best or failed entirely, leading to economic stagnation, shortages,

Are you one of the estimated 1 million California residents that are fed up with the state and are considering relocating? Maybe to the beautiful Pacific Northwest -- like maybe Washington, you better read this article and hold off putting that deposit down on a plac

Governor Gavin Newsom's final State of the State address, delivered on January 8, 2026, painted an optimistic portrait of California's progress, however, critics, including Republican leaders and independent analysts, argue that the speech glossed over persistent crises like skyrocketing living costs, business exodus, and policy failures.

Tina Peters, a 70-year-old whistleblower and Gold Star mother of a fallen Navy SEAL was sentenced to nine years in prison in Colorado for questioning the 2020 election. She honored her oath to the Constitution by exposing what she believed were critical flaws in the election system. Initially motivated to run for Mesa County Clerk in Colorado to make practical improvements—like reducing long wait times at the DMV—she never anticipated her role would lead to a national spotlig

Newsom has acquired multiple multimillion-dollar properties, often through opaque LLCs and family-linked entities. Critics, including federal investigators, whistleblowers, and investigative journalists, allege these purchases are fueled not just by his pre-political business success but by a web of corruption involving misused taxpayer dollars, donor favors, and money laundering schemes.

In the ever-shifting landscape of American political activism, few things highlight inconsistencies like the recent wave of protests following the U.S. capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. Just months ago, progressive voices were chanting "No Kings" now they want to "Save Maduro".

To that brave woman in the video, and to all of us feeling the weight: don't let the shadows win. Let faith prevail, and watch as it reshapes not just our hearts, but our culture. In the end, it's not the corrupt who inherit the earth—it's the meek, the faithful, the ones who refuse to break. Hold on; the dawn is coming.

As another year comes to an end, I am grateful for the many blessings that God has bestowed on us, both upon my family and upon our great country, the United States of America. We are making progress in many areas, most importantly, in the spiritual reawakening of our people, grounded in the love that Jesus Christ poured out unto humanity through his sacrifice and through his teachings. He offered us eternal salvation, no matter our sinful nature, as long as we trust in Him.

As of December 27, 2025, critics continue to describe jobs as California's "largest export," a stark commentary on the state's ongoing loss of employment opportunities. This trend is fueled by corporate headquarters relocations, refinery and manufacturing plant closures, policy-driven layoffs, and a steady out-migration of residents seeking better prospects elsewhere. California employers have announced 173,022 job cuts from January to November 2025 alone

In the wake of the 2020 and 2024 U.S. presidential elections, allegations of voter fraud and systemic vulnerabilities have continued to swirl, particularly amplified in late 2025 amid new investigations and resurfaced testimonies. Meanwhile, various audits, court rulings, and official reports continue to affirm the security of these elections.

• A society without liberals can’t adapt. • A society without conservatives can’t remain stable. We need both perspectives, and we need to stop demonizing the other side just because they don't agree with us. Both sides have a place in civil society.

Opinion, Gary Peyrot, December 20, 2025 What's Good for America? MAGA has been a hot-button for debate ever since Donald Trump popularized the phrase for his 2016 presidential campaign. Many revile the movement while others resolutely support it and even wear the moniker proudly. Making America great would seem to be a worthy goal to most (though some extremists disagree), but it raises the question, "What is really good for America?" Trump's aggressive rhetoric and blusterin

In a stark economic contrast across Latin America, remittances from the United States—the lifeblood for millions of families—have taken divergent paths in 2025. While Mexico grapples with a historic decline in these inflows, Central American nations are experiencing a surge, largely fueled by migrant fears over intensified U.S. immigration enforcement under President Donald Trump.

Author, Allison Scull When the light ushers in the day against the view of the pine-laden ridge in my backyard, I feel a deep sense of gratitude for where I live. After I drink a glass of water and grab my coffee, I wander outside to take it all in. I welcome a brand new day, a fresh new slate, and sweet mountain air in this place I call my home. No matter what the weather, a new day begins. My next move on most days is to take a walk. I walk in nearby Castle Crags. I walk

If you have not considered the Savior’s grace to be important in your life, why not choose this Christmas to ask God to show you His grace, mercy, and love. What do you have to lose, except fear, shame, frustration, and guilt?

The tactics highlighted in this article are irrefutable. There is ample evidence of them being deployed successfully by the US and other world powers.  However, the CIA has no monopoly on these tactics.  There is no mistaking that much of what has taken place on the US political stage since  Donald Trump announced his quest for the Presidency in 2015 has the all the hallmarks of the destabilization “playbook”.
