This hit hard. “None dared question cloth masks, social distancing and just why three funerals for George Floyd were safe while I couldn’t hold one for my son”
The GeoFlo debacle just clearly shows everyone how the hate of white/regular people goes deep and cannot be trusted. Chauvin is still in jail? Why is that? It is truly unjust in every way. No one seems to care.
03/19/26: It hit me exactly the same way and hard.
What filthy, rotten, degenerrate dirt bags they were...
The Poll: “She lost her Senate race, her bodyguard lost a shootout with police, and she broke a nail. What worse can happen to Jasmine Crockett?”
Couldn’t warm up to the choices, although the “Titans head coaching job offer” was pretty good.
Why not, “Lends $600 to NY Jet QB Geno Smith, expecting to get it back”?
[2015: Jet teammate gave Jet QB Geno Smith a plane ticket so that Smith could attend his teammate’s football camp as an invited speaker. Smith never showed. When the teammate asked him to reimburse the ticket, Smith refused. Punch. Smith’s jaw was broken and his Jets career ended. After playing for two other teams, he’s back with the Jets in 2026.]
Has ANY political grifter, pharmaceutical company, FAKE NEWS media & their chattering-a$$e$ or even that LYING diminutive mutt, Tony Fauci, been held accountable for their mis- and disinformation campaign against common sense?
It would be great. But NOTE that most of the cases are in deep Blue jurisdictions with rogue judges and feckless juries. Makes justice through our (now wobbling, due to overreach by district judges and a cowardly Chief Justice Roberts) difficult to achieve.
03/20/26: I like it because it instantly identifies who is insane. I hate it because it reminds me that the sequel to the Inquisitions of 2020-21 can reappear a the drop of a hat.
The masked crowd doesn't think it is. But masking is some sort social contagion. I remember that before Covid, we made fun of people in the Far East for wearing masks. But maybe they had people like Fauci and Newsance who insisted on it.
Do what $hit4brain$ & Dumbo’s corruptocracy did on 1/6/21, by rounding up all the political & civilian miscreants involved and dumping them into the Swamp’s notorious Federal Detention Facility with no charges being filed, no habeas corpus and no legal representation.
NO communication whatsoever. Solitary confinement, subsisting on stale bread & tap water, no medical, no TV, nothing to read, just thoughtful silence for, at least, two years.
Once their two year solitary confinement is up, then charge them. More prison time will do them good.
03/19/26: Aside from Pfizer's stock price going through the floor, not that I know about. Fauci should be spending the rest of his days on St Helena in the Napoleon hammocks.
everyone involved with the LIES about the efficacy of Ivermectin & Hydroxychloroquine should be spending the rest of their lives in some prison hellhole.
Enjoy reading your columns. One of the few people I trust to provide accurate information. Yes, you have a pro- America flavor, but so do I. We are Americans.
Seems to me that half the country does not care for America or its values that made it so great - and still is. They are caught up in some combination of self hatred and seeking love from whom, nobody knows.
Over the 57 years I have lived in America, I went from being a strong believer in the Press to realizing that they were all biased (against America), not very smart, and got paid a lot to diss America. They do not like themselves and this hatred they turn on America.
I have often wondered why they don't go live in Europe or China or the Mid East as opposed to the comforts of NY and DC, if they dislike America so much. In reality, they are hypocrites and scams - without a shred of integrity.
I appreciate your perspective - which combines a deep love for America along with a desire to present the facts. I thank you! And President Trump is doing things that even Reagan never dared to do. His near death experiences may have given him the courage; one can only be thankful to him.
You can blame our education system for a lot of the anti-American hate. Coupled with a Marxist news profession that still thinks Europe is the promised land for us, we are in deep sxxt.
You nailed it, Reddog. Education and legacy media are the two tools that keep Democrats in power. Without either of them their cover would be blown and people would see them for who they actually are. They would be mocked mercilessly and ridiculed right off of their fraudulent bully pulpit.
"Education and legacy media are the two tools that keep Democrats in power."
Guys, don't leave out election fraud in explaining the left's grip on power and an overstated presence in Congress. If elections were run according to election law, Democrats would be reduced by 80% in Congress. Their voices would be but a whisper, even with a corrupt media and anti-American educational curriculum.
Between the Dems and RINOs, we can't get a reasonable shot at the SAVE act - an issue that has 80+% approval by voters in both parties. That's the best illustration of the "fraud" our Congress is in representing us and our Constitution.
We agree on the issues that are problems but I say the stolen elections that have taken place for dozens of decades allowed the education system and the media to get as bad as it is.
The cause-effect is Fraud enabled the industries of Education and Media to become our enemies. Consistent legal and legitimate elections would fix all of it and would have prevented the other two from ever existing to this point.
All problems have a root cause. Ask 'why' five times. Election fraud is the root cause of these.
I pray we can get the election fraud fixed so that the other two problems are more easily worked on. Getting dark money out of our elections and public discourse will help. (Antifia, Anti-Ice)
Trump has the MSM idiots showing their behinds just about everyday but I still have relatives who dont look any further.
Only yesterday I received an email from Oregon's Secretary of State, "raising the alarm" about that very topic. Consider this pack of insinuous/ingenious lies:
QUOTE: “Congress is considering the SAVE America Act, a bill that would throw voter registration in every state in the nation into chaos in the middle of a major election cycle. The bill would require Americans to show a birth certificate, passport, or certificate of citizenship to register to vote. For millions of eligible voters, those documents are not easy to find, expensive to replace, or simply not possible to get. The result is predictable: lawful voters blocked from the ballot box.”
I wouldn't have the slightest bit of trouble "finding" any of those things, and anyone who does shouldn't be voting anyway, do to insufficient mental capacity or deliberately lying that they are "LAWFUL" voters.
But then, this is a state that persuaded its voters, many years ago, to go for universal mail-in voting; and we've had a supermajority of Dems in the State government ever since. Anybody smell a rat?
Yes, I agree with you. The Dems and RINOs will go to any length to stretch it into a complete lie.
Does this Oregonian know that over 80% of his/her constituents (on average) want the SAVE act? Of course, Oregon probably has a much higher percentage of the 20% that are against it.
Those liberals surely destroyed Portland. Such a shame.
We all know the education system is a mess yet we can’t seem to generate momentum to fix it. Must be a lot of parents disconnected from their kids lives today.
We older folks have figured it out. Maybe if we hadn't been educated by the leftist educrats, we'd have figured it out sooner and sent our kids to a private school or home schooled them. Eventually our kids will figure it out too... Just in time for their grandchildren to graduate.
My dad always said once someone had a real job and was paying all the taxes, they would turn Republican. Some of those Dims have nothing to hold on too when their world view is upended. So they cling to an unreal reality. The Dim politicians (and RINOs) just want their grifts/power to continue.
“They are caught up in some combination of self hatred and seeking love from whom, nobody knows.” But we do know. As schooled by Mr Surber, a song comes to mind: Looking for love in all the wrong places. There’s only the one place, faith in the Higher Power, and without him, “evil spirits prowl the world seeking the ruin of souls.” St Michael defend us in battle.
Since I'm in an evangelical spirit this am (or so it would appear)
"Saint Michael, the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection from the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray and do thou O Price of the Heavenly Host, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl the world seeking the ruin of souls." Amen.
There are no real journalists at the NYT, or WSJ. They’re all hacks. They wouldn’t even want to be embedded. They can’t be trusted. This war is amazing. My husband and I watched a YouTube video from a week ago showing exactly how our ships and our satellites and our superior technology wiped out drones with microwaves! It’s truly a testament to superior firepower, and research and development in this country. The military has mad skills, but the media has no patience. It’s as if everything has to be done in 24 hours or it doesn’t count for them. They are ADHD two year olds, pampered and spoiled. I read that Mark Penn piece off a free link on CFP yesterday and I was surprised they even printed it. (And I’m very very sorry to hear about your son. I had no idea)
But are they doing damage? I'm not so sure about that. You and I are rational and look at this as to how it would affect us. These people, and more importantly their followers, are not rational people. We thought the Summer of Love in 2020 would doom the Democrats electoral successes, but we were wrong. Democrats are, by definition, defective entities, so we need to view them like they are all denizens of Superman's inverse Bizarro World. They are zombie drones and will do whatever the Mother Ship tells them. They live for chaos so it is not their Kryptonite.
I dont know, Sam. I don’t understand Democrats and admit it. But I don’t understand petty Republicans like Murkowski and others either. Too many self absorbed egos in our government. There was a time when commonsense was still a thing in our congress but no longer. We have a majority and cant even pass a bill that 90% of Americans support. I just don’t think the country can survive any longer with people like this running our congress. The SAVE act shouldn't even be necessary yet here we are. I no longer recognize these people.
Yes , we are troubled by this lack of understanding that the Lefts course of action will ultimately result in the loss of the freedoms guaranteed by the Bill of Rights . Are they that stupid ? Or are they just evil ? I reluctantly conclude many are doing the devil's work.
I think it’s hard for most of us on the right to really understand the Dems motives today. We don’t even call them by the same names either. They are Dems or Liberals or Progressives and none of us know what the hell the difference is. Even those on the left can’t tell you. Bill Maher says he is an old school Liberal. Jimmy Carville says he is an old school Democrat. I really have no idea what the difference is in these terms. To me, the Dems, libs and progressives are all the same animal. Then there is the Democrats Socialists and the Marxists. The latter two are so contrary to my understanding of Dems, liberals and progressives that I don’t even see how they can occupy the same party today, but they apparently do. Theirs is a big tent according to the moron who is called the Minority Leader. So if anyone out there can enlighten me on the differences in these categories, I’d appreciate it. Until then, I’ll just stick with old school Dems and at-poop crazy Marxists when describing the party I guess.
I know it is cliché but can we hate the MSM enough? Saw somewhere this AM a negative post about the Pentagon asking for $200 billion for this war. Guess Dems would rather give it to Somali "Learing" centers and Newsom's train to nowhere.
I don’t blame you for hating them, but they are a symptom of our problem. Disconnected parents who aren’t involved in their kids education, a judiciary that has been corrupted, and kids who have no sense of responsibility to or knowledge of their countries history are a menu for societal destruction. Then add a Congress who work for themselves and depend on voters in other states than their own to get them re-elected and we are screwed.
Back in the late 80s/early90s I lived a few miles from Antietam battlefield and was a volunteer there. Perhaps these reporters should have their memories refreshed about that day and that war. 23,000 casualties in one day of a four year war on American soil. In which the Confederates (democrats all) were fighting to hang onto slavery. (Yes, I know that there were other reasons, but today’s left needs to be reminded about just which political party the slave owners and traders belonged to.)
I’ve always thought all of the historical sites in Virginia need to have a map showing the distance away from Appomattox Courthouse and a reminder of how many men died to defeat slavery. Because every one of them, from Monticello to Gunston Hall, make slave owning a major part of their presentations. But they never follow up with American defeating it.
That’s true of pretty much every visitor’s center east of the Mississippi. I’ve quit going to historical sites here in the Low Country for that very reason. I’m sick to death of being browbeaten for something that I and my ancestors had no part in.
If reparations are ever given, it should be to the families of the men who died or were wounded in the fight to free the great grandparents of these ungrateful bastards.
Make that great great great great grandparents, at the rate they reproduce, many of the grandparents are only in their thirties and the great grandparents are fifty to sixty.
I’m going to Shilo in June to see the grave of my great grandfather’s uncle who died on the first day of the battle. Then I’m going to Cumberland City, TN to visit the grave of my mother’s great uncle who survived the war on the Confederate side. He would have been at Shilo but Grant captured the 50th Tennessee Infantry at Fort Donelson and he was in a POW camp at Camp Douglas, IL. (Chicago). The idea of reparations to the descendants of the men of the Union that perished in the Civil War is excellent. As soon as I get my check, I am setting up a “Don Surber Bentley Fund”!
When you stop to consider that most of what passes for "media" in this country is merely the propaganda arm of the democrat (socialist) party, it is not surprising that it spews lies under the guise of "news." The only goal of the democrat party is to obtain and maintain power and wield it against the majority of American citizens. The question is why any American citizen would cast a vote for a democrat politician. I understand why the newly imported residents from Shitholia would do so, because it is their tradition to be governed by despots and tyrants but the reason why anyone else would cast such a ballot eludes me. I can speculate, of course, but the speculation leads me to conclude that such voters are either stupid or hoping that the tyrant gives them more free stuff, taken from the ones who actually earned it, thus fulfilling two evil desires: first, to destroy those whom they perceive to be their betters (envy) and second, to obtain what does not belong to them (greed) without suffering legal consequences. Democrat voters are like a starving man who thinks he can survive by eating himself.
The DEM electorate is made up of elites (they think they know everything) & the low information folks (who are clueless & told to just vote for the "D" column).
I will never vote for a Democrat, but I have come to despise Republicans much more than Democrats. I know that Democrats are scum and will act like it at all times. And they will never disappoint you because you already know exactly what they are. Republicans smile, shake your hand, tell you they are your friend, and are here to help us in our challenges. Then they smile again, put one hand on your shoulder, and then shiv you in your back. They pretend to be on our side and then gleefully pull the rug out from under us any time we are in sight of our goals. It truly is hard to enthusiastically support them. If they can retain control in November it will all be because Trump has saved their very sorry butts.
I totally empathize with all you feel re: Republicans.
But we are in a literal war for this country’s future and we have no choice but to fight with the army we have. If we get a supermajority in November, the fight, at the least, can continue.
The sad thing is we are relying upon Republicans to fight for us, and most of them aren't even willing to pick up their weapons and enter the fight. And if we lose control of congress in November, the die has been cast for the end of our republic. John Thune's legacy will be that of the traitor who sealed the end of the American Experiment. A pox on him.
That has changed a lot over the last 10 years. I’d say most of those who vote D these days are comprised of the rabid intelligentsia and whacked out, brainwashed liberals who were marched through the universities, many who have degrees.
Many, not all, of those on the lower end of the economic scale have been awakened to the ride they’d been taken on for decades with nothing to show for it. The tide truly turned, beginning with Trump 1.0, and only accelerated after having endured the devastations of the Biden administration.
I hope and pray they all vote again, only in even greater numbers this coming election than they did in 2024.
Our family came to the USA in 1952. My parents both got union jobs. After they got their green cards & became citizens, they dutifully voted for the DEM's as instructed by the union stewards. After becoming more proficient in the English language & figuring out what the DEM's stood for, they started voting for the "R's". I think this is why Teddy Kennedy pushed the voting act of 1965 - they realized that immigrants from Europe where wising up & they needed to restrict the Europeans and allow more of the 3rd world into the USA.
Those of us whose families emigrated here from Europe now understand fully why they left that God-forsaken continent. I want nothing to do with them. And the other continents are even worse. Our immigration system should be like the NFL Draft and WE should choose who we want to come to our country and who we will allow to enter. If we don't need you and you have nothing to offer, just stay the hell where you are and keep away from us.
Except for my 2 younger brothers who were both born in the USA & both are rabid LIB's suffering from severe TDS. My older sister & I (born in Europe) are both conservative like our parents.
After the defeat of Iran is completed we need to start cleaning house domestically. Something akin to the old McCarthy trials. We, The People… have had enough of these paper tigers and their lies.
We already have a way to get rid of them, elections. But our party can’t even pass a bill that 90% of Americans support, the SAVE Act. And if you look closely at what Congress is doing day to day, looks a lot like the McCarthy years circa. 2026. We have a BOTH PARTYS problem..
About 20 years ago, almost as a dare I started teaching a course called "Leadership, Ethics, and You" at two of the top notch Universities in the Chicago area.
based it in what I thought people aged 22 should think and grapple with, because it would mark their lives. What started as a lark, became a hobby, then a passion, and then a calling.
Because I was from a world outside of Academia, I was shocked to find that this world did not much care about the "customer" - the student as much as they cared about ideology, and self serving blather.
Luckily, they left me alone for almost 20 years. I had the privilege of having 940 bodies show up in my classes based on the discipline and values that I believed they needed. There were maybe 5 students who I would not have a cup of coffee with but everybody else, I did, and quite a few I met anywhere - lunch, coffee, or come home (at Thanksgiving) if they had no place to go to). I have had many privileged experiences in America; this one is amongst them.
The Lesson: Help the young people grow, demand the discipline necessary, and challenge them to think about what they might truly want from their life. And forget the cacophony of the crowd....
Any well-functioning society requires boundaries which include morals, values, and principles. Think, the 10 commandments, respect for the other, and the rules that govern nature.
The entire project of the Left in this world for the last 80 years on steroids, has been to tear down all boundaries, up to and including those of very nation states.
It has only succeeded in creating hedonistic and unrestrained madness and fear wherever you look.
Restoring boundaries, whether they be actual national borders, or societal structures and frameworks, such as respect for the rule of law, are the only things that can result in order, peace and harmony.
It is shocking how uniformed and uneducated our university students are. And the Covidians’ shutting down our schools/universities only accelerated the decline.
In the 70s when my husband and I were at university, we heard a fable about a young man walking a beach only to witness multitudes of dying starfish that the waves failed to return to the ocean. But the young man also noticed an old man picking up one starfish at a time and carefully putting each one safely into the water. The young man said, “What are you doing? You know you can’t save all of them. What does it matter?” As he held a starfish to return in the ocean, the older man replied, “It matters to this one.”
Your advice is spot on! All good professors can do is save as many starfish as possible and ignore the “cacophony of the crowd.”
The stark reality revealed in this Substack is just how influential the media has been (can be) in shaping thoughts, opinions, and beliefs for the benefit of an anti-government entity.
If journalist Trent Telenko really said citizens were rushing into police stations to "cease" weapons, instead of "seize weapons," he's in the wrong business.
Finally, Mr. Surber writes: "Pick up Sunday’s Times. . ." That is terrible advice, Don. My advice is DON'T pick up Sunday's Times.
Oh my gosh. Can you even begin to imagine what Rush's commentary would be like if he was still among us? I think it was you who, a while back, referred to Rush's daily show as "Appointment Radio?" It sure was. You would hear Chrissy Hines play her song and there he was! I miss him so much. There's nobody even close to what he was.
I even quit the local newspaper about 10 years ago. They were nothing but copy and paste from AP. I sent them a blistering letter explaining how their severe bias was no longer tolerable, not to mention that the carrier couldn’t seem to find my mailbox consistently.
Ditto here. We cancelled our subscription to the Journal News (a Gannett paper). We did that when they published the location of legal gun owners in our county - but at the same time would not publish the locations of sex offenders to protect their privacy. My wife & I both wrote letters - no response.
I think many of us have seen the movie Patton or other WW2 movies and films about other conflicts like Korea or Vietnam.
I can’t imagine another war will be fought with tanks and masses of foot soldiers like WW2 or Korea or Vietnam were fought. Maybe it’s me but I just don’t see wars being fought that way after this incursion.
We still need to get ahold of that nuclear material and that may require infantry of some type. Keep your eyes on the ship Tripoli that is moving into the gulf. Something says we have more tricks up our sleeve.
Technology has changed dramatically since WWII. We will never fight another war in the same way. But I do agree we have some kind of trick up our sleeve to dismantle our problem with the blockade in the Strait
I think we need to keep some conventional weapons in our arsenal. Just like having everything online, once the power goes out you need some analog tools.
During the China Virus Scam-demic, my son's fiancée died before his eyes - just weeks prior to her 24th birthday. Because they were not yet married, her estranged and angry mother was next-of-kin. When the ambulance took her body away, that was the last my son ever saw of her. He wasn't able to even get a few of her ashes. Mr. Surber's anguish must be beyond compare. Prayers here, too.
I'm with you, Brother. This poor girl didn't have a chance. Her father was killed in a car crash when she was 3. Her mother took up with a series of boyfriends - and drugs - and the things that happened to her and her little brother I can't even speak. I told my son that one of these days I'm going to turn up with a fatal disease, and before I die I am going to find somebody who hurt a child and I'm going to kill them with my bare hands.
The shocking lack of concern now in the Western world for the well-being of children shows a distinct moral decline. Looking very hard at you, Great Britain and your disgusting Muslim Pakistani rape gangs. But it's not the only place where this is happening.
I have a friend living north of London - a tall, blonde, blue-eyed, busty German lass. She says she is the perfect target for the swarthy types and is afraid to go out alone. And as you know, the police there are as worthless as a whistle on a chamber-pot.
Don Surber nails it again. This situation with the Left Media is OUTRAGEOUS.
The war we have had with the Left for the last few decades has been and still is fundamentally a war of ideology and information. So the Left Media is a giant player that MUST be defeated.
Some successful blows have been landed on the Left Media--especially the rise of a vast new media universe on the Right. The internet has exploded with (I would say) at least 200 new news outlets, from the heavy-duty aggregators like Citizen Free Press, Real Clear Politics, Whatfinger, etc., to online newspapers like Breitbart and The Epoch Times, to new cable networks like The Blaze, (and even Dr. Phil's Merit Street Media--although it has failed, it struck a mighty blow with Dr. Phil's massive audience and redpilled alot of people), and new media platforms, like Substack, to the zillions of online conservative websites and podcasts and programs like WarRoom, Joe Rogan, Townhall, American Thinker, PJ Media, and on and on and on. Add in the EXPLOSION of X, formerly Twitter, and the fact that it is now the largest media source on Earth. Vast numbers of (formerly ordinary) citizens are building public affairs commentary followings all over the internet.
Before I wrote the above paragraph, I was fuming that there HAD TO BE SOMETHING MORE WE CAN DO to smash these vile, Leftist Legacy Media giants that are still spewing outright poison into minds of too many Americans.
But just writing that paragraph--which is just the tip of a huge iceberg of new media--has already calmed me down. We are winning, and the "ocean liner" of the American consciousness is turning.
Blows have been struck--NPR and PBS are no longer publicly funded (THAT ITSELF was a long overdue but very important victory), the Washington Post is tempering a bit, CBS has been bought, CNN has been bought, etc. DOGE exposed the feeble financial structure of Politico, when it stopped the federal bureaucracy's $10,000-per-subscription racket that was supporting them, and Politico couldn't make payroll the next week.
But yes, we need it to all happen MORE and FASTER. Any and all ideas welcome.
Well said, TPG. One small way to encourage people is to try to get them to look at multiple sources - left and right - for the coverage of an event. Then ask them what they think and which source(s) they believe to be the most accurate. That's what I now do. Hard work, though.
That is a superb way to help folks wake up. One very smart attorney I know whom I introduced to RealClearPolitics, told me about a particular story she saw there, and said she was surprised that it hadn't been covered on the media she usually looks at. She said, "That was a pretty important story!" Now she's a regular with RCP.
This hit hard. “None dared question cloth masks, social distancing and just why three funerals for George Floyd were safe while I couldn’t hold one for my son”
💔
The GeoFlo debacle just clearly shows everyone how the hate of white/regular people goes deep and cannot be trusted. Chauvin is still in jail? Why is that? It is truly unjust in every way. No one seems to care.
03/19/26: It hit me exactly the same way and hard.
What filthy, rotten, degenerrate dirt bags they were...
The Poll: “She lost her Senate race, her bodyguard lost a shootout with police, and she broke a nail. What worse can happen to Jasmine Crockett?”

Has ANY political grifter, pharmaceutical company, FAKE NEWS media & their chattering-a$$e$ or even that LYING diminutive mutt, Tony Fauci, been held accountable for their mis- and disinformation campaign against common sense?
It would be great. But NOTE that most of the cases are in deep Blue jurisdictions with rogue judges and feckless juries. Makes justice through our (now wobbling, due to overreach by district judges and a cowardly Chief Justice Roberts) difficult to achieve.
And if it did end up in court, move for dismissal if ANY of the jury are still wearing masks. It's a sure sign of liberal lunacy.
The continued wearing of masks is flat out ridiculous, isn't it?
03/20/26: I like it because it instantly identifies who is insane. I hate it because it reminds me that the sequel to the Inquisitions of 2020-21 can reappear a the drop of a hat.
The masked crowd doesn't think it is. But masking is some sort social contagion. I remember that before Covid, we made fun of people in the Far East for wearing masks. But maybe they had people like Fauci and Newsance who insisted on it.
face shields & gloves, too. good thinking.
Do what $hit4brain$ & Dumbo’s corruptocracy did on 1/6/21, by rounding up all the political & civilian miscreants involved and dumping them into the Swamp’s notorious Federal Detention Facility with no charges being filed, no habeas corpus and no legal representation.
NO communication whatsoever. Solitary confinement, subsisting on stale bread & tap water, no medical, no TV, nothing to read, just thoughtful silence for, at least, two years.
Once their two year solitary confinement is up, then charge them. More prison time will do them good.
Turn about is fair play, NNTX.
I hear you.
03/19/26: Roberts is a nauseating son of a B.
A disappointment. Like so many Bush endeavors, unfortunately.
03/19/26: Aside from Pfizer's stock price going through the floor, not that I know about. Fauci should be spending the rest of his days on St Helena in the Napoleon hammocks.
How about in the stocks daily ?
Fauci & his wife should have their pensions slashed by 90% if not outrightly taken away.
Every asset should be seized & they should be bankrupted so that either suicide or life in prison would be preferable.
The torture they subjected beagle puppies to should be thrust onto them.
Being covered in honey, staked on fire-ant hills would be too lenient for these two ghouls.
What did the wife do? Him, ok with the honey and fire ants but why do women always get the short end of the stick just because of their sex?
Look her up. She’s right there w/ her husband.
He is the face of all the LIES, dis- & misinformation. She was his co-conspirator, just as evil.
everyone involved with the LIES about the efficacy of Ivermectin & Hydroxychloroquine should be spending the rest of their lives in some prison hellhole.

Their voices would be but a whisper, even with a corrupt media and anti-American educational curriculum.
Between the Dems and RINOs, we can't get a reasonable shot at the SAVE act - an issue that has 80+% approval by voters in both parties. That's the best illustration of the "fraud" our Congress is in representing us and our Constitution.
While I agree with that, it's only because of the media and education failures that voter fraud succeeds.
We agree on the issues that are problems but I say the stolen elections that have taken place for dozens of decades allowed the education system and the media to get as bad as it is.
The cause-effect is Fraud enabled the industries of Education and Media to become our enemies. Consistent legal and legitimate elections would fix all of it and would have prevented the other two from ever existing to this point.
All problems have a root cause. Ask 'why' five times. Election fraud is the root cause of these.
I pray we can get the election fraud fixed so that the other two problems are more easily worked on. Getting dark money out of our elections and public discourse will help. (Antifia, Anti-Ice)
Trump has the MSM idiots showing their behinds just about everyday but I still have relatives who dont look any further.
Which slice of the pie is 34%? All are above 33% of the problem.
It really doesn't matter, all three need to get fixed.
Spot on Shrugged, fraud !
Only yesterday I received an email from Oregon's Secretary of State, "raising the alarm" about that very topic. Consider this pack of insinuous/ingenious lies:
QUOTE: “Congress is considering the SAVE America Act, a bill that would throw voter registration in every state in the nation into chaos in the middle of a major election cycle. The bill would require Americans to show a birth certificate, passport, or certificate of citizenship to register to vote. For millions of eligible voters, those documents are not easy to find, expensive to replace, or simply not possible to get. The result is predictable: lawful voters blocked from the ballot box.”
I wouldn't have the slightest bit of trouble "finding" any of those things, and anyone who does shouldn't be voting anyway, do to insufficient mental capacity or deliberately lying that they are "LAWFUL" voters.
But then, this is a state that persuaded its voters, many years ago, to go for universal mail-in voting; and we've had a supermajority of Dems in the State government ever since. Anybody smell a rat?
Definitely ; it's high time people should understand voting is a privilege not a right . Anything worth having is not free .
Yes, I agree with you. The Dems and RINOs will go to any length to stretch it into a complete lie.
Does this Oregonian know that over 80% of his/her constituents (on average) want the SAVE act? Of course, Oregon probably has a much higher percentage of the 20% that are against it.
Those liberals surely destroyed Portland. Such a shame.
We all know the education system is a mess yet we can’t seem to generate momentum to fix it. Must be a lot of parents disconnected from their kids lives today.
We older folks have figured it out. Maybe if we hadn't been educated by the leftist educrats, we'd have figured it out sooner and sent our kids to a private school or home schooled them. Eventually our kids will figure it out too... Just in time for their grandchildren to graduate.
My dad always said once someone had a real job and was paying all the taxes, they would turn Republican. Some of those Dims have nothing to hold on too when their world view is upended. So they cling to an unreal reality. The Dim politicians (and RINOs) just want their grifts/power to continue.
A bunch of the worst Dims are trust fund babies.
Spot-on!
And yet few people even want to fix it, Dennis. How can anything be accomplished if no one has the time or interest to fix something?
Therein lies a major part of the problem. There is a cleanup underway… don’t lose faith yet.
We blew up our TV
Threw away our paper
Went to the country
Built us a home
Had a lot of children
Fed 'em on peaches
They all found Jesus
On their own.

A return to basic family structure and church on Sundays would cure a world of ills.
Earworm!
Spanish Pipedream. We play that a lot.
I pray you are right but don’t see the evidence of it.
“They are caught up in some combination of self hatred and seeking love from whom, nobody knows.” But we do know. As schooled by Mr Surber, a song comes to mind: Looking for love in all the wrong places. There’s only the one place, faith in the Higher Power, and without him, “evil spirits prowl the world seeking the ruin of souls.” St Michael defend us in battle.
Reminds me of the old joke, why does the urban cowboy have a brown mustache?
He was looking for love in all the wrong places.
Dag gone Jeremy. You owe me a keyboard.
St Michael, my favorite angel. But I can never remember all of the St. Michael's prayer.
Since I'm in an evangelical spirit this am (or so it would appear)
"Saint Michael, the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection from the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray and do thou O Price of the Heavenly Host, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl the world seeking the ruin of souls." Amen.
Thank you, Valoree. Appreciated.
Amen
I like St George too who also looks after the military. Glad to see you posting LuAnn.
Cheers, tj.
Thank you 👍.
There are no real journalists at the NYT, or WSJ. They’re all hacks. They wouldn’t even want to be embedded. They can’t be trusted. This war is amazing. My husband and I watched a YouTube video from a week ago showing exactly how our ships and our satellites and our superior technology wiped out drones with microwaves! It’s truly a testament to superior firepower, and research and development in this country. The military has mad skills, but the media has no patience. It’s as if everything has to be done in 24 hours or it doesn’t count for them. They are ADHD two year olds, pampered and spoiled. I read that Mark Penn piece off a free link on CFP yesterday and I was surprised they even printed it. (And I’m very very sorry to hear about your son. I had no idea)
And Penn is no lover of the GOP. He just sees the damage his party is doing to itself, and can no longer stomach it.
But are they doing damage? I'm not so sure about that. You and I are rational and look at this as to how it would affect us. These people, and more importantly their followers, are not rational people. We thought the Summer of Love in 2020 would doom the Democrats electoral successes, but we were wrong. Democrats are, by definition, defective entities, so we need to view them like they are all denizens of Superman's inverse Bizarro World. They are zombie drones and will do whatever the Mother Ship tells them. They live for chaos so it is not their Kryptonite.
I dont know, Sam. I don’t understand Democrats and admit it. But I don’t understand petty Republicans like Murkowski and others either. Too many self absorbed egos in our government. There was a time when commonsense was still a thing in our congress but no longer. We have a majority and cant even pass a bill that 90% of Americans support. I just don’t think the country can survive any longer with people like this running our congress. The SAVE act shouldn't even be necessary yet here we are. I no longer recognize these people.
Yes , we are troubled by this lack of understanding that the Lefts course of action will ultimately result in the loss of the freedoms guaranteed by the Bill of Rights . Are they that stupid ? Or are they just evil ? I reluctantly conclude many are doing the devil's work.
I think it’s hard for most of us on the right to really understand the Dems motives today. We don’t even call them by the same names either. They are Dems or Liberals or Progressives and none of us know what the hell the difference is. Even those on the left can’t tell you. Bill Maher says he is an old school Liberal. Jimmy Carville says he is an old school Democrat. I really have no idea what the difference is in these terms. To me, the Dems, libs and progressives are all the same animal. Then there is the Democrats Socialists and the Marxists. The latter two are so contrary to my understanding of Dems, liberals and progressives that I don’t even see how they can occupy the same party today, but they apparently do. Theirs is a big tent according to the moron who is called the Minority Leader. So if anyone out there can enlighten me on the differences in these categories, I’d appreciate it. Until then, I’ll just stick with old school Dems and at-poop crazy Marxists when describing the party I guess.
ADHD two year olds is a great description!
No. Two year olds are not vindictive aholes.
I know it is cliché but can we hate the MSM enough? Saw somewhere this AM a negative post about the Pentagon asking for $200 billion for this war. Guess Dems would rather give it to Somali "Learing" centers and Newsom's train to nowhere.
I don’t blame you for hating them, but they are a symptom of our problem. Disconnected parents who aren’t involved in their kids education, a judiciary that has been corrupted, and kids who have no sense of responsibility to or knowledge of their countries history are a menu for societal destruction. Then add a Congress who work for themselves and depend on voters in other states than their own to get them re-elected and we are screwed.
No, it is not possible to hate the MSM enough.
Have you read about Newsome’s over budget unfinished Butterfly and Mountain Lion wildlife over pass? https://redstate.com/jenvanlaar/2026/03/19/true-aim-of-california-wildlife-crossing-is-to-prevent-mountain-lion-inbreeding-n2200387?utm_source=rsmorningbriefingvip&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=nl
Tax moratorium nationwide until all the fraud is uncovered and the funds recovered. Enough of this sxxt.
Trump is damned if he does, damned if he doesn’t. Thankfully he has thick skin and vision.
As Greg Gutfeld says, "We don't deserve him."

Back in the late 80s/early90s I lived a few miles from Antietam battlefield and was a volunteer there. Perhaps these reporters should have their memories refreshed about that day and that war. 23,000 casualties in one day of a four year war on American soil. In which the Confederates (democrats all) were fighting to hang onto slavery. (Yes, I know that there were other reasons, but today’s left needs to be reminded about just which political party the slave owners and traders belonged to.)
I’ve always thought all of the historical sites in Virginia need to have a map showing the distance away from Appomattox Courthouse and a reminder of how many men died to defeat slavery. Because every one of them, from Monticello to Gunston Hall, make slave owning a major part of their presentations. But they never follow up with American defeating it.
That’s true of pretty much every visitor’s center east of the Mississippi. I’ve quit going to historical sites here in the Low Country for that very reason. I’m sick to death of being browbeaten for something that I and my ancestors had no part in.
And the browbeating will continue with reparation demands for people who were not harmed & paid for people that had nothing to do with slavery.
If reparations are ever given, it should be to the families of the men who died or were wounded in the fight to free the great grandparents of these ungrateful bastards.
Make that great great great great grandparents, at the rate they reproduce, many of the grandparents are only in their thirties and the great grandparents are fifty to sixty.
I’m going to Shilo in June to see the grave of my great grandfather’s uncle who died on the first day of the battle. Then I’m going to Cumberland City, TN to visit the grave of my mother’s great uncle who survived the war on the Confederate side. He would have been at Shilo but Grant captured the 50th Tennessee Infantry at Fort Donelson and he was in a POW camp at Camp Douglas, IL. (Chicago). The idea of reparations to the descendants of the men of the Union that perished in the Civil War is excellent. As soon as I get my check, I am setting up a “Don Surber Bentley Fund”!
They don’t care, their minds are made up and set as if in concrete
When you stop to consider that most of what passes for "media" in this country is merely the propaganda arm of the democrat (socialist) party, it is not surprising that it spews lies under the guise of "news." The only goal of the democrat party is to obtain and maintain power and wield it against the majority of American citizens. The question is why any American citizen would cast a vote for a democrat politician. I understand why the newly imported residents from Shitholia would do so, because it is their tradition to be governed by despots and tyrants but the reason why anyone else would cast such a ballot eludes me. I can speculate, of course, but the speculation leads me to conclude that such voters are either stupid or hoping that the tyrant gives them more free stuff, taken from the ones who actually earned it, thus fulfilling two evil desires: first, to destroy those whom they perceive to be their betters (envy) and second, to obtain what does not belong to them (greed) without suffering legal consequences. Democrat voters are like a starving man who thinks he can survive by eating himself.
The DEM electorate is made up of elites (they think they know everything) & the low information folks (who are clueless & told to just vote for the "D" column).
I will never vote for a Democrat, but I have come to despise Republicans much more than Democrats. I know that Democrats are scum and will act like it at all times. And they will never disappoint you because you already know exactly what they are. Republicans smile, shake your hand, tell you they are your friend, and are here to help us in our challenges. Then they smile again, put one hand on your shoulder, and then shiv you in your back. They pretend to be on our side and then gleefully pull the rug out from under us any time we are in sight of our goals. It truly is hard to enthusiastically support them. If they can retain control in November it will all be because Trump has saved their very sorry butts.
I totally empathize with all you feel re: Republicans.
But we are in a literal war for this country’s future and we have no choice but to fight with the army we have. If we get a supermajority in November, the fight, at the least, can continue.
If we don’t, I truly fear for what will come.
The sad thing is we are relying upon Republicans to fight for us, and most of them aren't even willing to pick up their weapons and enter the fight. And if we lose control of congress in November, the die has been cast for the end of our republic. John Thune's legacy will be that of the traitor who sealed the end of the American Experiment. A pox on him.
That has changed a lot over the last 10 years. I’d say most of those who vote D these days are comprised of the rabid intelligentsia and whacked out, brainwashed liberals who were marched through the universities, many who have degrees.
Many, not all, of those on the lower end of the economic scale have been awakened to the ride they’d been taken on for decades with nothing to show for it. The tide truly turned, beginning with Trump 1.0, and only accelerated after having endured the devastations of the Biden administration.
I hope and pray they all vote again, only in even greater numbers this coming election than they did in 2024.
And then there’s the group who votes D because they always have and their granddaddy always did
Our family came to the USA in 1952. My parents both got union jobs. After they got their green cards & became citizens, they dutifully voted for the DEM's as instructed by the union stewards. After becoming more proficient in the English language & figuring out what the DEM's stood for, they started voting for the "R's". I think this is why Teddy Kennedy pushed the voting act of 1965 - they realized that immigrants from Europe where wising up & they needed to restrict the Europeans and allow more of the 3rd world into the USA.
Those of us whose families emigrated here from Europe now understand fully why they left that God-forsaken continent. I want nothing to do with them. And the other continents are even worse. Our immigration system should be like the NFL Draft and WE should choose who we want to come to our country and who we will allow to enter. If we don't need you and you have nothing to offer, just stay the hell where you are and keep away from us.
Great story Joe. Welcome to you & your family to America. Obviously you all are among those who assimilated well
Except for my 2 younger brothers who were both born in the USA & both are rabid LIB's suffering from severe TDS. My older sister & I (born in Europe) are both conservative like our parents.
Experience and perspective count for a lot.
As one grows older, one sees more of what is really going on in the world
Loved “Shitholia”.
After the defeat of Iran is completed we need to start cleaning house domestically. Something akin to the old McCarthy trials. We, The People… have had enough of these paper tigers and their lies.
We already have a way to get rid of them, elections. But our party can’t even pass a bill that 90% of Americans support, the SAVE Act. And if you look closely at what Congress is doing day to day, looks a lot like the McCarthy years circa. 2026. We have a BOTH PARTYS problem..
It’s not called the Uniparty for nothing. The Republicans are about as reliable as our NATO “allies.”
“et tu, Brute” no truer words were ever spoken.
That’s why we need to get a SUPER Majority in this election so even Republicans can’t hide behind “not enough votes”.
That's the GOPe's #1 defense - and when they do have enough votes, they still don't do swat.
Let’s put Chuckie Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries at the top of the name and shame list
They have no shame.
About 20 years ago, almost as a dare I started teaching a course called "Leadership, Ethics, and You" at two of the top notch Universities in the Chicago area.
based it in what I thought people aged 22 should think and grapple with, because it would mark their lives. What started as a lark, became a hobby, then a passion, and then a calling.
Because I was from a world outside of Academia, I was shocked to find that this world did not much care about the "customer" - the student as much as they cared about ideology, and self serving blather.
Luckily, they left me alone for almost 20 years. I had the privilege of having 940 bodies show up in my classes based on the discipline and values that I believed they needed. There were maybe 5 students who I would not have a cup of coffee with but everybody else, I did, and quite a few I met anywhere - lunch, coffee, or come home (at Thanksgiving) if they had no place to go to). I have had many privileged experiences in America; this one is amongst them.
The Lesson: Help the young people grow, demand the discipline necessary, and challenge them to think about what they might truly want from their life. And forget the cacophony of the crowd....
Any well-functioning society requires boundaries which include morals, values, and principles. Think, the 10 commandments, respect for the other, and the rules that govern nature.
The entire project of the Left in this world for the last 80 years on steroids, has been to tear down all boundaries, up to and including those of very nation states.
It has only succeeded in creating hedonistic and unrestrained madness and fear wherever you look.
Restoring boundaries, whether they be actual national borders, or societal structures and frameworks, such as respect for the rule of law, are the only things that can result in order, peace and harmony.
It is shocking how uniformed and uneducated our university students are. And the Covidians’ shutting down our schools/universities only accelerated the decline.
In the 70s when my husband and I were at university, we heard a fable about a young man walking a beach only to witness multitudes of dying starfish that the waves failed to return to the ocean. But the young man also noticed an old man picking up one starfish at a time and carefully putting each one safely into the water. The young man said, “What are you doing? You know you can’t save all of them. What does it matter?” As he held a starfish to return in the ocean, the older man replied, “It matters to this one.”
Your advice is spot on! All good professors can do is save as many starfish as possible and ignore the “cacophony of the crowd.”
Excellent advice, Verinder. You more than did your job.
Good morning Mr. S a great hitting piece today.
I'm so sorry you didn't have the chance to say goodbye to your son during the Kung Flu.
Who, what, where, when, how, why are journalism questions.
Opinions are not news reports
The stark reality revealed in this Substack is just how influential the media has been (can be) in shaping thoughts, opinions, and beliefs for the benefit of an anti-government entity.
The real enemy is here and hiding in plain site.
If journalist Trent Telenko really said citizens were rushing into police stations to "cease" weapons, instead of "seize weapons," he's in the wrong business.
Finally, Mr. Surber writes: "Pick up Sunday’s Times. . ." That is terrible advice, Don. My advice is DON'T pick up Sunday's Times.
I always appreciated folks like Rush & Don S. who read the NY Slimes - so we don't have to.
Oh my gosh. Can you even begin to imagine what Rush's commentary would be like if he was still among us? I think it was you who, a while back, referred to Rush's daily show as "Appointment Radio?" It sure was. You would hear Chrissy Hines play her song and there he was! I miss him so much. There's nobody even close to what he was.
I’d NEVER pick up Sunday’s Times and I cancelled my WSJ subscription at least 10 years ago
I stopped reading the WSJ when I realized how treacherous the "conservative" opinion writers were - especially Peggy Noonan.
Peggy Noonan needs medical help. I concluded years ago that her writing was entirely dominated by her hot flashes
I even quit the local newspaper about 10 years ago. They were nothing but copy and paste from AP. I sent them a blistering letter explaining how their severe bias was no longer tolerable, not to mention that the carrier couldn’t seem to find my mailbox consistently.
Ditto here. We cancelled our subscription to the Journal News (a Gannett paper). We did that when they published the location of legal gun owners in our county - but at the same time would not publish the locations of sex offenders to protect their privacy. My wife & I both wrote letters - no response.
It always pays to know your enemy.
I think many of us have seen the movie Patton or other WW2 movies and films about other conflicts like Korea or Vietnam.
I can’t imagine another war will be fought with tanks and masses of foot soldiers like WW2 or Korea or Vietnam were fought. Maybe it’s me but I just don’t see wars being fought that way after this incursion.
We still need to get ahold of that nuclear material and that may require infantry of some type. Keep your eyes on the ship Tripoli that is moving into the gulf. Something says we have more tricks up our sleeve.
I read an article about Tripoli yesterday, but having an acute case of CRS, I had to look it up. It carries 2,000 Marines.
These guys drop in by helicopter. They don’t storm the beaches. I think they will drop in on Karg Island and capture the oil out put of Iran.
Technology has changed dramatically since WWII. We will never fight another war in the same way. But I do agree we have some kind of trick up our sleeve to dismantle our problem with the blockade in the Strait
I suggest you read John Ʌ Konrad on X for his thoughts on Hormuz, which make sense as a strategy.
I think we need to keep some conventional weapons in our arsenal. Just like having everything online, once the power goes out you need some analog tools.
Hegseth is a good wartime Consigliere. Not a Sicilian but he’s perfect.
Hegseth is doing a great job and exceeding expectations.
Carlin said it best…and I paraphrase…”just think of how stupid the average person is, then realize that 50% are more stupid than that”.
What a perfect description of how the average official get elected to office.
Prayers for your son and your loss Don. Truly an outrage.
May GOD Almighty continue to bless and protect President Donald J. Trump and the United States of America!!!
During the China Virus Scam-demic, my son's fiancée died before his eyes - just weeks prior to her 24th birthday. Because they were not yet married, her estranged and angry mother was next-of-kin. When the ambulance took her body away, that was the last my son ever saw of her. He wasn't able to even get a few of her ashes. Mr. Surber's anguish must be beyond compare. Prayers here, too.
I hate people. There, I got that out of the way early today.
I'm with you, Brother. This poor girl didn't have a chance. Her father was killed in a car crash when she was 3. Her mother took up with a series of boyfriends - and drugs - and the things that happened to her and her little brother I can't even speak. I told my son that one of these days I'm going to turn up with a fatal disease, and before I die I am going to find somebody who hurt a child and I'm going to kill them with my bare hands.
The shocking lack of concern now in the Western world for the well-being of children shows a distinct moral decline. Looking very hard at you, Great Britain and your disgusting Muslim Pakistani rape gangs. But it's not the only place where this is happening.
And I always want to ask congress how much of their income is derived from cartel activity. As you probably want to ask your elected officials.
I have a friend living north of London - a tall, blonde, blue-eyed, busty German lass. She says she is the perfect target for the swarthy types and is afraid to go out alone. And as you know, the police there are as worthless as a whistle on a chamber-pot.
Some days that's just how we feel, WTPuck.
I tend to say that at least once a day. I'm sure my late mother is still cringing in heaven when she hears it. Not your fault, mom!
Don Surber nails it again. This situation with the Left Media is OUTRAGEOUS.
The war we have had with the Left for the last few decades has been and still is fundamentally a war of ideology and information. So the Left Media is a giant player that MUST be defeated.
Some successful blows have been landed on the Left Media--especially the rise of a vast new media universe on the Right. The internet has exploded with (I would say) at least 200 new news outlets, from the heavy-duty aggregators like Citizen Free Press, Real Clear Politics, Whatfinger, etc., to online newspapers like Breitbart and The Epoch Times, to new cable networks like The Blaze, (and even Dr. Phil's Merit Street Media--although it has failed, it struck a mighty blow with Dr. Phil's massive audience and redpilled alot of people), and new media platforms, like Substack, to the zillions of online conservative websites and podcasts and programs like WarRoom, Joe Rogan, Townhall, American Thinker, PJ Media, and on and on and on. Add in the EXPLOSION of X, formerly Twitter, and the fact that it is now the largest media source on Earth. Vast numbers of (formerly ordinary) citizens are building public affairs commentary followings all over the internet.
Before I wrote the above paragraph, I was fuming that there HAD TO BE SOMETHING MORE WE CAN DO to smash these vile, Leftist Legacy Media giants that are still spewing outright poison into minds of too many Americans.
But just writing that paragraph--which is just the tip of a huge iceberg of new media--has already calmed me down. We are winning, and the "ocean liner" of the American consciousness is turning.
Blows have been struck--NPR and PBS are no longer publicly funded (THAT ITSELF was a long overdue but very important victory), the Washington Post is tempering a bit, CBS has been bought, CNN has been bought, etc. DOGE exposed the feeble financial structure of Politico, when it stopped the federal bureaucracy's $10,000-per-subscription racket that was supporting them, and Politico couldn't make payroll the next week.
But yes, we need it to all happen MORE and FASTER. Any and all ideas welcome.
Well said, TPG. One small way to encourage people is to try to get them to look at multiple sources - left and right - for the coverage of an event. Then ask them what they think and which source(s) they believe to be the most accurate. That's what I now do. Hard work, though.
That is a superb way to help folks wake up. One very smart attorney I know whom I introduced to RealClearPolitics, told me about a particular story she saw there, and said she was surprised that it hadn't been covered on the media she usually looks at. She said, "That was a pretty important story!" Now she's a regular with RCP.
