EKO LOVES YOU starts us off with the DOGE push-back. The Machine Fights Back

A billion dollars every SINGLE week disappearing into accounts that shouldn't exist.

The kind of fraud that would shut down any bank in America.

The kind that would land any business owner in federal prison.

Moonbattery - Fort Bragg Restored

History matters, because it forms our national identity. That’s why liberals have been erasing it. But with pro-Americans in charge, history is being restored.

Clayton Cramer - People v. Brown (Ill.2d 2025)

Illinois judge ruled that the Illinois law that requires you to have a Firearms Owner ID card (FOID) to possess a firearm in your home violates the Second Amendment.

WTF is a “higher education lobbyist?” And who pays his or her salary? Taxpayers?

Stately McDaniel Manor - USAID Part 2: D/S/Cs Panic

We’re learning that USAID has been funding, and manipulating, loads of “news” organizations throughout the world, and many in the US. So much for “independent journalism.” Some are already admitting without US cash, they’re going to have to shut down.

Freedom Is Just Another Word… - Crooked Liberal Judge!

Judge Kotelly mocked Paula Harlow’s Christian faith when she sentenced her to prison as her husband begged for mercy expressing his fear his wife would die alone in prison.

The judge taunted the elderly woman and mocked her Christian faith and told her to honor the “tenets” of her religion and not die in jail.
