Some would think I meant the meat tenderizer instead of that monster. Sorry.   A few days ago, I predicted that 2026 would be the year of indictments, arrests, and various actions against the seditious democrats.  Here, let us get one thing clear:  Today’s democrat party is an incredibly corrupt machin...

Obviously, letting Congress know about that operation would have been as bad as sending the attack plans to the Venezuelan government.  Trump knew better than to trust politicians who could not define a woman.   The V-mission's astonishing success was due to the professionalism of the military and its secrecy, including the Pentagon's ban on reporters last year. From the success of this mission, it is ...

  The  Constitutionist Free Newsletter Items, Analysis, Opinions and News Gathered from Everywhere By Steven Maikoski, Author:  “The Real Constitution and its Real Enemies” constitutionist@protonmail.com   12-28-2025 Politicians have always depended on anger and hate to motivate and team their people. Yesterday I spoke with a friend whom I had not spoken with in a couple of years. We were having a good time until I explained that I had gone to the Turning Point convention, AmericaFest, over the last weekend. It was then that I learned that this person had turned into a never-Trumper, a carrier of TDS, who went on to say that Trump was a pedophile, had organized an insurrection, and that Charlie Kirk was evil. I’ve heard a lot of people claim they didn’t like Charlie Kirk, but I have never heard anybody call him evil.  I was totally surprised by this, yet I let the TDS voice keep ranting and venting all its emotions, when an old memory popped up about something t...

On December 23, 1957, our family (4 children, Mom & Dad) finished its two-week voyage on the USNS Henry Gibbins, landing in Colon, Canal Zone, Panama.   That trip started in New York City, then to Norfolk, VA, then to Guantanamo, Cuba, Puerto Rico, and then to Colon, on the Atlantic side of Panama.   After gathering our luggage, our family divided into two cars to drive across the isthmus, traveling from the Atlantic side to the Pacific s...

Most of you knew the writer Burt Prelutsky, whose articles gathered many of the people in this newsletter group.  Burt wrote for several notable TV shows, including M*A*S*H, Diagnosis Murder, Dragnet, and several Mary Tyler Moore shows.  He also wrote a daily political newsletter, the quality of which still amazes me. Burt died on December 17, 2021, so as his memorial date approaches, I wanted to share a few words that some of his readers sent to me in this last week.   But first, one of our group, James Fu...

Obviously, President Trump has grown tired of a partisan press that does not do its studies before reportersxs  ask questions.  When CBS News White House Correspondent Nancy Cordes, asked Trump why he blamed the Biden Administration for not vetting the Afghans who were import...
