5. Yes, Virginia, Republicans should use the Democrat gerrymander playbook. In the real world, there is no such thing as non-partisan and it is time for conservatives to show the Marxists that we have read Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals too. The Democrat pearl clutching on this issue is rich.
1. It appears that all roads in the Russia Collusion Hoax/Russiagate lead to Hillary Clinton and the Democrat Party. There is so much going on and so much I have forgotten that I had to dust off my old conspiracy theories and reacquaint myself with a decade and a half of Democrat shenanigans. During a Congressional Investigation of the 2012 Benghazi Incident, it was brought to light that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was conducting her work business via a private server in her basement. It does not take a rocket scientist to figure out that the only reason a very high ranking government official would be conducing PUBLIC business on a PRIVATE server is because the individual is engaging in illegal activities that are probably padding their offshore bank accounts. The Democrats needed a big distraction from the basement server kerfuffle. The Democrats had a second problem with the 2016 Presidential Election when Guccifer 2.0 and Wikileaks began leaking documents that were claimed to have come from Democrat National Committee (DNC) servers. The leaks revealed many inside Democrat issues and one controversy that was stirred up was the 2016 Democrat Primary. It appeared that Democrat Populist rival Bernie Sanders had possibly been screwed by the Democrat Clinton Machine. Were the Democrat National Committee servers hacked from the outside – Russia – or from an inside download that was then given to outsiders to leak? Julian Assange has always maintained that he did not receive the leaked DNC material from Russia. I find it amazing that the FBI was NEVER given access to the actual DNC servers. The American public was asked to accept the Democrat Party’s chosen cybersecurity (CrowdStrike) firm’s opinion that the DNC servers had been hacked externally by Russia. Many individuals believe that the DNC servers were breached internally by Seth Rich who was a DNC employee and Bernie Sanders supporter. This is why there is currently a call for full disclosure of the investigation into the 7/10/2016 DC murder of Seth Rich. Informed observers have asked, “Was this a Clintoncide?” The Democrats claimed to have noticed their system was breached in April of 2016. On June 14, 2016, the DNC announced publicly their system had been hacked and on 7/5/2016, Deep State Actor and FBI Director James Comey, in a public statement, accused Hillary Clinton of being “careless” in her home server use but stated that he did not believe her actions rose to a criminal level and he would relay this opinion to the DOJ who would have the final say in pursuing charges. This was the prelude to the Crossfire Hurricane Investigation which began on 7/31/2016 and was sourced with investigating Trump’s Russian ties. Comey exonerated Hillary of criminal intent in the basement server problem and Russia had been introduced into the 2016 Presidential Election via the DNC hack and leak allegation. Subsequently, fabricating the Steel Dossier was a piece of cake. To those of us who have common sense and take life seriously, the Steel Dossier smelled like a five cat, old lady’s litter box that has been fermenting for a month. Surprisingly for Democrats, Trump won the election, but the Russia collusion allegations were the gift and grift that kept on giving and allowed Democrats to stymie Trump’s first term. It appears that Attorney General Pam Bondi will soon be convening a grand jury regarding recent information DNI Tulsi Gabbard has forwarded to the DOJ. The wheels on the bus turn slowly in D.C. and I am skeptical that justice will be served on any swamp toads. Who knows, maybe I will be pleasantly surprised.
2. The Texas redistricting poopdedoo. The State of Texas is in the process of redrawing their U.S. Congressional District map for the 2026 midterm election (heads up – Ohio will also be redrawing their map soon). The State of Texas is currently majority Republican in both the executive and legislative branches. Governor Abbot had called a special session of the legislature to begin yesterday to start working on the redistricting issue. Democrats instead decided to engage in performance theater and on Sunday, 8/3/2025, 51 of 62 Texas House Democrats left Texas and most took Illinois Governor Fatman Pritzker up on his offer for “sanctuary.” The Texas House of Representatives has 150 members – 62 Democrats, 88 Republicans. A quorum requires 100 house members to be present so quorum was not reached yesterday. Words have been flying and actions threatened. This is not the first time Texas Democrats have pulled this stunt and fortunately in 2021 – Democrats went missing for 38 days – Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton secured a Texas Supreme Court ruling that held the House could arrest absent members to secure their presence and establish a quorum. Texas AG Paxton has filed to have the Democrat refugees’ House seats vacated if they do not return to Texas by Friday.
“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was thrown into the sea and gathered fish of every kind. When it was full, men drew it ashore and sat down and sorted the good into containers but threw away the bad. So it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come out and separate the evil from the righteous and throw them into the fiery furnace. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” Matthew 13: 47-50 (ESV).
The Kingdom of God is like a net that picks up treasure and junk, but the good that is found is priceless and the rest is worthless. Christ calls us to recognize our priceless nature as part of God’s Kingdom. We are God’s work of art and are often a hidden treasure in His Kingdom who are called to come forth and be a light that shines with the radiance of God at work, at home, at Church, and at play. MSGR. James Vlaun.

1. I am very pleased to report that Joe Kent has been confirmed by the U.S. Senate as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center. Joe Kent is an amazing American Patriot. Born in Portland, OR in 1980, he enlisted in the Army when he was 17. He earned his way into the Ranger Regiment and then into Special Forces. He had 21 combat deployments in areas such as Iraq and North Africa. After serving 20 years, he retired from the Army and was a paramilitary officer with the CIA. Joe Kent is a Gold Star husband. On 1/16/2019, Joe’s wife, Shannon, was killed on her fifth combat deployment by a suicide bomber in Manbij, Syria. With two young sons, Joe had to regroup and he decided he needed to put himself in a position where he was in less physical danger. Joe ran for the U.S. House of Representatives for Washington State’s 3rd congressional district in 2022 and 2024. Joe lost both elections to Democrat Marie Glusenkamp Perez. Being a MAGA warrior, Kent has had to deal with the usual “white nationalist” garbage. Also, Emil Bove was confirmed to a lifetime appointment on the Philadelphia based 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Republican boogers Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins voted with the Demonrats.
3. The National Education Association (NEA), the country’s largest teachers’ union, never ceases to suck. I caught a story out of Florida that caused me to shake my head. Alachua County School Board member Sarah Rockwell put out on social media, “Oh did Hulk die? I didn’t even know. Good. One less MAGA in the world.” I find this to be an example of how Marxist DEI causes severe social retardation and tone deafness. On a brighter note, in local school news, the Big Walnut LSD School Board unanimously voted to axe pay to participate fees.
4. And now, the Cincinnati Brawl. This is a black and white issue muddied by the Marxist tide. Early last Saturday morning, an altercation broke out between some black and white men in Cincinnati. The case is under investigation and what was said that lead to the confrontation and who threw the first punch is currently unclear. If a white guy threw the first punch, then he also needs to be brought up on assault charges. However, the beat downs were NOT self defense. What hit the national spot light was when things spun out of control. Videos were posted on-line of a middle aged white man being pummeled by several younger black men. When the white gentleman was already beaten to the ground, black men can be seen kicking him in the head and jumping above and landing on his head. Additionally, a white woman who tried to help a white man was hit by both a black man and woman. The white woman was hit in the face so hard by the man that she was knocked senseless. If you had any doubts about Cincinnati being a blue city hell hole, you now know that Cincinnati suffers from Democrat malaise. Governor DeWine announced yesterday that the Ohio State Highway Patrol will be helping Cincinnati with law enforcement duties. Mayor Aftab Pureval was slow to respond to the event because he has been on vacation. Per the mayor, his young child is starting kindergarten in a few weeks and the trip was long planned, so he left town Saturday morning. Vice President J.D. Vance has chimed in on the issue. Vance’s half brother Cory Bowman is challenging Pureval in the Cincinnati mayoral race. Like much of the MSM, Police Chief Teresa Theetge has made little mention of race and has placed the blame on social media and is saddened that of dozens of on-lookers, only one called police. Of note, Theetge has been sued for work place racial discrimination by several white men. The FBI is now involved. U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi posted, “Thank you @berniemoreno for connecting us to the victim.” Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division Harmeet Dhillon has stated the DOJ is monitoring the situation. Beating victim “Holly” has spoken with Vivek Ramaswamy who is running for Ohio Governor and Ohio U.S. Senator Bernie Moreno. Holly gave Senator Moreno permission to post pictures of her injuries. No really terrible racial situation would be complete without a Person of Color (POC) politician making a really inappropriate comment and then doubling down when called out. Cincinnati City Council President Pro Tem Victoria Parks posted, “They begged for that beatdown! I am grateful for the whole story.” City Councilwoman Parks is not running for reelection. This story will allow her and her fellow Marxist/DEI cohorts to revel in their race based victimhood. IT IS SAD that ghetto beat downs are only noticed when a non POC is involved. Democrat policies have been annihilating minority neighborhoods for decades and instilling in the hearts and minds of the people who live in these communities a philosophy that life is cheap and all their problems are caused by the white devil. ENOUGH.
1. Russia, Russia, Russia. For 10 years, those of us with eyes to see and ears to hear and two brain cells to make a synapse knew that Trump did not conspire with Russia to win the 2016 election. Russia had way more dirt on Cankles who had been in politics for decades. I started wearing a tin foil hat regarding Hilary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation with the Uranium One Deal. The Uranium One Deal was completed while Hilary Clinton was Secretary of State and Robert Mueller was FBI Director in the Obama Administration. Funny how Bob Mueller wound up being Special Counsel for an investigation into Russian 2016 election interference. Not even a jug of Clorox bleach can scrub the slime from the D.C. toilet bowl. All during the 2016 U.S. Presidential election cycle I kept wondering, “what the puck is wrong with Hilary Clinton? Is she in the early stages of a neurodegenerative condition such as Parkinson’s Disease? Is she an alcoholic and blitzed most of the time?” Well, now I know. She had some mental health issues going on and was heavily medicated which means my drunk choice was closer to the mark. A few MAGA Patriot RINO favorites – Graham and Cornyn – are clamoring for a special counsel to investigate Russiagate. I am going to say a hard NO to a special counsel approach. I am of the opinion that if you act like an organized crime syndicate, you should be treated like an organized crime syndicate and I am therefore in agreement with the Trump Administration’s Strike Force initiative. And last, but not least, U.S. President Barack Hussein Obama. I believe that Obungler engaged in seditious acts and is guilty of treason. I do not think it is worth the time and effort to indict him – Presidential Immunity will give Obama and his Marxist cohorts a carping platform and at the end of the day he will probably skate. Instead, Trump should keep reminding the American Public of how treacherous Obama was while relentlessly pursuing Hildebeast, Brennan, Clapper, Comey, and any other non President who is tied to the seditious and treasonous scheme. If possible, I think Obama should be on the record in the annuals of history as an unindicted co-conspirator. I have to say that the perpetrators of this crime are dumbasses. You never, ever leave a paper trail. Sheesh.
2. As of 7/22/2025, only 86 Trump nominations have been confirmed by the U.S. Senate. Two hundred fifty six nominations are pending confirmation. Trump has asked Republican Senate Majority Leader Thune to keep the Senate in session in August to get the confirmations done and so far Trump has received a typical, political, noncommittal response. U.S. Senate President pro tempore and Judiciary Committee Chair Grassley is agreeable to keeping the senators in D.C. in August to get the job done. Because of U.S. Senate nomination dithering, a lot of drama has unfolded with the Federal District Court of New Jersey. I was pleased to see that Trump, true to form, is sporting a brass pair and Alina Habba is still the top dog of the New Jersey Federal District Court. MAGA.
3. The Trump Administration has been very busy in their mission to put America First. I have posted many articles below concerning several successes and want to discuss two. World War II ended 80 years ago. Why has the Marshall Plan been in effect for 80 years? Granted, both Europe and Japan were annihilated during World War II and other than Pearl Harbor, the carnage was not within our boundaries. American Presidents should have been putting America first decades ago. Thank you, President Trump. President Trump recently signed an Executive Order to help cities and states get homeless people off the streets and into treatment centers. Compassion is NOT letting homeless individuals wreak havoc on themselves and other members of society. God bless you, President Trump.
4. I have to share a story a friend of mine told me last week. My friend was at work in Columbus, Ohio and a liberal coworker said to him, “you know, THAT administration you support is eliminating the Medicaid program with the One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB).” My friend retorted, “No, there is no elimination of the Medicaid program. The Administration is aiming for the Medicaid program to meet it’s INTENDED goals. The OBBB is 1. removing illegal aliens from the program and 2. requiring able bodied, single adults to work a minimum of twenty hours per week. Such work can include volunteering in community outreach programs. The Medicaid program was never intended for non U.S. citizens nor to enable able bodied adults to become leeches. Single moms with kids and the severely disabled will NOT lose their Medicaid benefits.” I consider this an example of what happens when one’s critical thinking skills are corrupted by the mainstream media and politics.
