MAGA: America First — Strategic Strength, Not Isolationism

With all the hyper-partisan, ideologically contrived “blah-blah” going on after the Meduro “get,” it seems that now is as good a time as any to clear up a purposefully crafted misconception, manufactured by the Deep State and the American Marxist movement.Many who oppose the MAGA movement—globalists on the Left and neocon remnants of the old Republican establishment alike—have spent years trying to brand it as “anti-war.” They’ve painted Trump supporters as retreatists and anti-intervention pacifists. They’ve done this deliberately, to fracture the conservative base ahead of the midterms and 2026. But here’s the truth: The MAGA movement has never been anti-war—it has been anti-stupid war. It rejects endless, special-interest-driven foreign entanglements that bleed American lives and treasure, while doing nothing to advance our actual national interests.In fairness, there were some early voices within the MAGA camp who misunderstood the core meaning of “America First.” They mistook it for “America Alone.” Figures like Marjorie Taylor Greene and others who argued for total disengagement from the world’s strategic hotspots revealed, over time, that they were never truly understood or aligned with the founding spirit of the movement.Isolationism is not America First—it’s America abandoned. The roots of MAGA don’t lie in retreat or withdrawal—they lie in reasserting American leadership on our terms, not the global elite’s. Those who preach total non-engagement, who see any use of military or economic power abroad as betrayal, are not defending American sovereignty—they’re surrendering it to those who would happily fill the vacuum left behind, like China, Russia, Iran, North Lorea and the rest of the usual suspects.The MAGA movement rejects what we might call the “military industrial forever loop”—the endless feed of troops and tax dollars into foreign wars orchestrated by career bureaucrats, Beltway consultants, and defense lobbyists: Major players in the Deep State. These wars have no constitutionally defined mission, no concrete objectives, and no exit strategy.Trump’s foreign policy revolution brought clarity: military force is a tool for defense, deterrence, and direct national interest—not for global social experiments or permanent occupations. MAGA does not dismantle American power—it redirects it. It refuses to repeat the moral and logistical blunders of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, but it also refuses to abandon the world stage to tyrants, cartels, and ideologues.MAGA means the US throwing off the global elite’s unilaterally mandated idea that the United States exists as the world’s policeman.America’s armed forces should not be used as the enforcement mechanism for UN bureaucrats or NATO technocrats trying to sustain their multilateral illusions. Washington spent decades letting unelected committees dictate where our troops were sent and why—and the results speak for themselves: trillions spent, allies emboldened, and Americans forgotten.America is not the world’s policeman, but those of the MAGA movement recognize the difference between servitude and strength. Restraint is not weakness—but absence of resolve is.MAGA is the belief that America has a sacred duty to protect its citizens, property, and interests anywhere in the world. That’s not “interventionism”—it’s sovereignty extended beyond our borders to shield our people from harm.Take Venezuela: the Chávez and Maduro regimes didn’t just strangle their own population—they waged a soft war on the United States. They facilitated narcotics and human trafficking networks that directly targeted the American heartland. These networks, along with their Mexican cartel partners, have killed more Americans annually than any conflict since World War II.Standing up to such regimes—seizing their illegally attained assets, supporting legitimate liberation movements, and repatriating stolen US wealth—is self-defense, not meddling. It’s about protecting Americans from the slow-kill of narcotic and economic warfare.Where the MAGA mindset differs sharply from the old establishment is in its understanding of partnership. True allies are those who take the initiative and assume responsibility for their own defense. Our support should reinforce their will, not replace it, creating dependency.Israel provides the clearest example. Facing Iranian aggression both directly and through proxies like Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis, Israel didn’t and isn’t asking America to fight its wars—it’s fighting them itself. Under Trump, America’s role was to equip, deter, and support—not to occupy. MAGA stands firmly behind allies who stand firmly for themselves.The MAGA foreign policy vision extends beyond mere military posturing—it’s about strengthening independent nations that share our commitment to sovereignty, order, and liberty. In Europe, MAGA-supported leaders are resisting Brussels’ open-border dogma and the migrant invasions that threaten their cultural survival. In Asia, Trump-backed nations confront Beijing’s communist expansionism and technological theft.By empowering regional powers aligned with freedom, MAGA multiplies America’s influence without sacrificing American lives on the altar of globalism. It’s delegated strength—not abdication.Understanding that it’s easy to see that those now working hardest to smear MAGA as “anti-war” are not patriots—they’re opportunists. Some sit on the Left; others wear red ties and smile on FOX—but they’re the same species of parasite. They weaponize confusion about MAGA’s true philosophy to fracture the Right, sabotaging unity to keep the money flowing through old DC channels; attempting to create disunity in the MAGA base to feed the continuance of the Deep State.Even within MAGA’s own ranks, some have revealed themselves as unserious—obsessed with sound bites rather than substance, with isolation rather than sovereignty. When a self-described “America First” politician praises disengagement that empowers narco-states, Iran, or China, they’ve outed themselves as America Last in disguise.President Trump showed what real America First leadership looks like: modernize the military, destroy ISIS, deter Iran, limit Chinese expansion, bring troops home responsibly, and—most critically—avoid plunging America into new, unwinnable wars. That’s not pacifism. That’s power properly aimed.The MAGA movement is principled, not passive. Its moral compass aligns with national survival, not with emotionally charged, sentimental globalism. It doesn’t view every military action as evil—only those that serve no clear, constitutional, and patriotic purpose.Ironically, the isolationists and globalists share the same flaw: both misunderstand America’s role in the world. Isolationists seek to hide from it; the globalists seek to rule it. MAGA seeks to lead through strength—protecting Americans first, partnering with allies who carry their own weight, and using power to prevent greater harm.In the end, MAGA is not anti-war—it is pro-America. It isn’t anti-military—it’s anti-exploitation of the military. It doesn’t imagine a world where America hides; it envisions one where America stands tall, strong, and free from entanglements that betray its people.Those who confuse strength with isolationism, or call disengagement “patriotism,” never truly understood the cause. The MAGA movement–which is alive and very well–is not about running away from the world, it’s about reclaiming our place in it on our own righteous terms.America First means exactly that: protecting Americans, defending freedom, and advancing our interests—everywhere they are threatened, and by whatever means necessary. To that end, President Trump is doing a very good job.When we come back, our segment on America’s Third Watch, broadcast nationally from our flagship station WGUL, AM860 and FM93.7 in Tampa, Florida.In Closing…The MAGA movement isn’t anti-war—it’s anti-stupid war. It rejects endless, directionless conflicts while standing ready to defend America’s people, assets, and values anywhere they’re threatened. It supports real allies who fight for their own freedom and regional stability, not bureaucratic parasites demanding perpetual US intervention.The isolationists pretending to be “America First” have revealed themselves—they’d rather retreat than defend our sovereignty. The true MAGA mindset means disciplined strength: avoiding foreign entanglements that betray our people, while striking decisively when our interests are under attack.America First doesn’t mean America alone—it means America leading with purpose, power, and patriotism. Let’s remember that in the face of the never-ending propaganda.Until next time… Get full access to Underground USA at www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe

Tucker Carlson: Has Qatari Money Purchased America’s Former Truth-Teller?

It’s hard to overstate just how jarring Tucker Carlson’s recent rhetoric has become. Once the sharpest populist voice in American media—a man who tore through both neoliberal and neocon orthodoxies with surgical precision—Carlson has suddenly started speaking as though he moonlights as a Qatari press attaché.His now-infamous claim that “Islamofascism is less of a threat to the West than OnlyFans” didn’t just disturb his conservative base—it detonated it. The outrage was less about prudish moralizing and more about disbelief: when did Tucker Carlson, of all people, start downplaying a totalitarian religious movement that literally burns homosexuals and stones women?To dismiss this shift as mere contrarianism is naïve. Carlson’s pattern of commentary over the past year shows a deliberate, consistent softening toward the ideological regimes of the Middle East—most notably those orbiting Qatar and its wealthy Islamofascist allies. And the timing is impeccable for Doha’s global media strategy, which is aggressively investing billions in Western media ecosystems to “humanize” Islamofascism, rehabilitate its image, and subtly attack its two favorite enemies: Israel and the West.What better vehicle for such propaganda than a once-beloved right-wing populist now spurned by American corporate media—someone whose credibility among millions rests on his seeming independence?Let’s talk about Qatar. This is a country that has spent decades laundering its authoritarian ideology through institutions that Western elites mistake for academic and journalistic philanthropy. The Qatari government bankrolls think tanks, buys media stakes, and funds universities with one hand, while promoting Islamofascist political movements throughout the Arab world with the other.Its greatest export isn’t liquefied natural gas—it’s moral inversion. The idea that rigid theocracy is preferable to decadent individualism. That submission is order, and freedom is chaos. It’s a message tailor-made for a West exhausted by its own nihilism.Carlson’s newly Islamofascist-friendly messaging fits this playbook too neatly to ignore. His post-Fox ventures are remarkably well-funded for an “independent journalist.” Lavish travel across continents, smooth production, global exclusives with controversial heads of state—yet his revenue sources remain clandestinely opaque. Various financial trackers and independent investigators have noted loose ties between some of Carlson’s production operations and foreign financial entities linked to Gulf intermediaries.But nothing definitively proves a direct wire from Doha, of course—if you know how modern propaganda markets function, you know that raw bribery is passé. Influence is purchased by ecosystem, not by envelope.What we’re witnessing is the Islamofascist narrative disguised as moral realism.Carlson’s brand has always relied on moral conflict narratives—he pits the spiritual sickness of liberal elites against some vision of prelapsarian order. But lately he has recast the Islamofascist model—theocratic submission through violence—as the moral antidote to Western degeneracy.When Tucker tells you that OnlyFans is more dangerous than Islamofascism, he’s not making a religious argument. He’s offering a false dichotomy: that your choices are between soulless consumerism or pious tyranny. That moral order requires uniformity of thought and suppression of freedom. It’s the same rhetoric that Qatari-aligned media platforms like Al Jazeera Arabic have pushed for decades—always cloaked in “moral clarity,” always demonizing Western liberty as sexual chaos dressed up as tolerance.The eeriest part isn’t that Carlson flirts with that narrative—it’s that he seems to believe he’s still being simply contrarian.Another thread in his transformation is impossible to ignore: Carlson’s creeping antisemitism, couched in pseudo-intellectual populism. His recent insinuations about Jewish influence over global finance and American foreign policy echo the oldest fascist tropes on record.Once, Carlson criticized Israel the way a serious commentator might criticize any ally—based on policy. Now he joins the Islamofascist chorus accusing the Jewish people, collectively, of masterminding global immorality and media corruption. These ideas are not original; they are imports. They flow directly from the same ideological streams that run beneath Qatari mosques, Iranian propaganda outlets, and Turkish state media. The same narratives were prevalent in 1939 Germany.It is not coincidental that Islamofascist regimes have long tried to translate their own antisemitic propaganda into language digestible by the Western Right: moral discipline, family values, economic honesty—twisted into theological antisemitism camouflaged as cultural critique.It’s important to realize that today’s propaganda doesn’t leave a paper trail.The modern influence industry is not crude bribery—it’s soft corruption through circles of access and affirmation. Invitations, partnerships, funding deals, reputational networks. Give a man a global stage, frame his next documentary, and he’ll convince himself he’s independent.Carlson is now immersed in precisely that ecosystem. Surrounded by financiers sympathetic to Islamofascist regimes, applauded by Qatari-friendly editorial networks, and embraced by global-state-funded “counter-establishment” figures, he is, effectively, domesticated propaganda. He isn’t even cajoled into saying what they want him to say anymore. The message now flows smoothly through him.He has become, perhaps unwittingly, the West’s most trusted messenger for Islamofascism’s rehabilitated image: the idea that moral sanctity must come by authoritarian religion rather than individual virtue.So, let’s be clear: Tucker Carlson’s pivot is not simply a man evolving. It’s a brand being retooled for strategic value abroad.When he suggests that Islamofascism is less dangerous than Western moral decay, he’s effectively saying that censorship, violence, and theocratic control are preferable to liberty’s excesses. And make no mistake—Doha loves that message. It validates the Islamic totalitarian model by borrowing the rhetoric of Western decline. It sells submission as sophistication.If that stance wins him a few petrodollars and elite invitations, that’s just the exchange rate.Carlson used to argue that the biggest threat to the West was the corporate media complex—the machine that sells narratives as truth for profit. He was right. He just forgot that he was part of it too.Now, whether consciously or cynically, he stands atop an ideological laundering operation that trades in the moral currency of the exhausted West, converting frustration into sympathy for tyranny.So yes, Tucker Carlson may believe he’s exposing hypocrisy. But anyone half awake can see who benefits from his recent sermons about Western decadence and “the misunderstood Islamic world”: The same regimes that imprison cartoonists, publicly whip dissidents. Throw homosexuals from rooftops, and stone women. The same elites whose fortresses gleam from Qatari gas wealth, while their citizens live under medieval laws.He is preaching to a Western audience that doesn’t recognize the trap—one that mistakes submission for salvation.The only mystery left isn’t why this transformation happened. The incentives are clear. The question now is simpler, sharper, and infinitely more embarrassing:How long has Tucker Carlson been buyable?When we come back, our segment on America’s Third Watch, broadcast nationally from our flagship station WGUL, AM860 and FM93.7 in Tampa, Florida.In Closing…Tucker Carlson: What we’re watching isn’t free thought — it’s ideological laundering dressed up as independence.Carlson, once the hammer of the powerful, now hums along to the tune of Islamofascist propaganda financed by the same oligarchs he once exposed. The man who preached skepticism has become its victim, repeating the moral justifications of regimes that would silence him first.This isn’t righteous rebellion; it’s rented conviction. The dollar signs just happen to be written in Arabic. Thus, the question that hangs over it all — the one Carlson can’t answer: when did truth start carrying a price tag?Until next time… Get full access to Underground USA at www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe

How For-Profit Health Insurance Turned American Healthcare Into A Predatory Enterprise

The story of health insurance in the United States begins not with Wall Street sharks circling for profits, but with a modest act of community solidarity during the Great Depression.In 1929, at Baylor University Hospital in Texas, administrators faced empty beds and unpaid bills as economic collapse kept patients away. So, they devised a prepaid plan: for a small monthly fee, teachers could secure hospital care without fear of ruinous costs. This became the blueprint for Blue Cross, a nonprofit model that spread rapidly across the country in the 1930s. Soon after, Blue Shield plans emerged to cover physician services. These were explicitly nonprofit entities, often granted tax-exempt status and special regulatory privileges in exchange for serving the public good—community rating (charging everyone the same premium regardless of health status), acting as insurers of last resort, and prioritizing access over profit.During World War II, wage freezes pushed employers to offer health benefits as a perk, cementing employer-sponsored insurance as the dominant model. By the 1950s, enrollment exploded from millions to over 140 million. The Blues dominated, focusing on broad coverage and affordability. Commercial for-profit insurers existed but only on the fringes; they couldn’t compete with the Blues’ nonprofit advantages until they adopted “experience rating”—charging higher premiums to sicker groups—allowing them to cherry-pick healthy customers and undercut the Blues in certain markets.This nonprofit era wasn’t perfect, but it kept costs relatively contained. Patients and providers dealt directly, with insurance stepping in as a safety net rather than a profit extractor. Medical loss ratios—the share of premiums spent on actual care—hovered around 95%, meaning nearly every dollar went to healthcare rather than overhead or dividends.The enactment of Medicare and Medicaid in 1965, while a landmark social safety net achievement in expanding access to the elderly and poor, tragically hyper-intensified the demise of nonprofit health insurance and healthcare. By injecting massive third-party government payments into the system—reimbursing hospitals and physicians on a cost-plus or fee-for-service basis—these programs severed the direct link between patients and providers, unleashing unchecked cost inflation. Providers, shielded from price sensitivity, charged whatever they wanted, knowing the government check would arrive. This “third-party payment problem” flooded the system with money, rewarding volume over value and creating irresistible profit opportunities. Nonprofit hospitals and insurers, once focused on community service, faced mounting pressure to expand bureaucracies, raise charges, and compete in an escalating arms race of costs. For-profit entrants exploited the gusher of funds, accelerating the shift toward shareholder-driven models that prioritized extraction over care.The devastating turning point came in the 1970s and 1980s, when greed began to infiltrate. The Health Maintenance Organization Act of 1973, signed by Richard Nixon, provided federal subsidies and loosened restrictions to promote HMOs. Early HMOs were nonprofit, emphasizing preventive care. But the law unleashed a wave of for-profit HMOs, which quickly dominated the space by prioritizing cost-cutting over quality and skimming healthy enrollees.The real betrayal occurred in 1994, when the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association—under pressure from competitive threats—abandoned its nonprofit mandate, allowing member plans to convert to for-profit status. What followed was a feeding frenzy. Blue Cross of California aggressively acquired plans in other states, rebranding as WellPoint (now part of Anthem, the second-largest insurer). Conversions swept through states: Georgia to Cerulean, Missouri to RightChoice, Virginia, and more. By the 2000s, many iconic Blues had morphed into shareholder-driven behemoths, with assets often transferred to foundations as a deceptive fig leaf for public benefit.This shift to profiteering transformed health insurance from a public service into a rapacious industry. For-profit insurers face relentless pressure to deliver shareholder returns, leading to skyrocketing administrative costs—marketing blitzes, executive bonanzas, lobbying armies, and denial machines designed to avoid payouts. Studies show that for-profit plans have higher administrative overhead (often 6 percentage points more than nonprofits) and lower medical loss ratios, meaning less money reaches patients and providers.The result? Exploding prices. US healthcare now consumes nearly 20% of GDP, double what most developed nations spend, with worse outcomes like lower life expectancy and higher infant mortality. For-profit dominance incentivizes higher provider payments because insurers can simply pass costs to premiums—especially under rules like the Affordable Care Act’s medical loss ratio requirements, which paradoxically reward spending growth as long as it’s on “care.” Consolidated insurers negotiate aggressively but often acquiesce to provider price hikes, knowing they can raise premiums accordingly and pocket the difference in profits.Big Pharma thrives in this ecosystem, jacking up drug prices knowing insurers will pay (or shift costs to patients via deductibles). The corporatized hospital industrial complex—chains like HCA—mirrors this, buying up facilities, cutting nursing staff for “efficiency,” and inflating charges. All while denying claims, imposing prior authorizations that delay care (and sometimes outrightly deny care), and narrowing networks to squeeze providers.Critics of nonprofits claim they lack innovation or efficiency. This is propagandistic profiteer-driven nonsense. Nonprofit executives still earn substantial wages—often seven figures at large plans like Kaiser Permanente—providing ample incentive without the obscene shareholder mandates. Nonprofits historically delivered higher medical loss ratios (up to 95% pre-conversion) and broader community benefits, serving as insurers of last resort without cherry-picking.The American people are paying the price—literally—for this profiteering orgy that is for-profit health insurance. Families face crushing premiums, deductibles that deter care, and medical debt that bankrupts millions annually. Meanwhile, for-profit giants like UnitedHealth rake in billions while CEOs are compensated like royalty.It’s time to reclaim healthcare from these vultures. The United States would be far better served by returning to a nonprofit model for health insurance, where patient care is the focus, not stock prices. This isn’t the anti-capitalism of government-controlled or hyper-regulated health insurance and healthcare—far from it. Multiple nonprofit entities would still compete vigorously for enrollees, driving down premiums through market forces, innovating in service quality, network breadth, and preventive programs to attract customers and establish efficient pricing. Historical Blue Cross plans competed successfully as nonprofits, proving that competition thrives without shareholder extraction.Moreover, mandating nonprofit status aligns with the US Constitution’s mandate to “provide for the...general Welfare of the United States.” Healthcare access is fundamental to the nation’s welfare, and profiteering has corrupted this common good by inflating costs and erecting barriers to care. Returning to nonprofit health insurance would expunge the bloated bureaucracy of denial appeals, prior authorizations, and profit-driven overhead—freeing resources for actual medicine—while purging the corruption that prioritizes profiteering over human lives.Intelligent federal legislation is urgently needed: mandate nonprofit status for all insurers and hospitals, prohibit conversions and shareholder payouts, cap administrative overhead, redirect surpluses to expanded coverage and community health, and foster robust competition among nonprofits. Pair this with reforms to dismantle provider monopolies and rein in BigPharma’s gouging, and you have a winning solution to the problem at hand.Only then can we build a system that serves people, not predators. Congress must act—before another generation is sacrificed on the altar of corporate greed.When we come back, our segment on America’s Third Watch, broadcast nationally from our flagship station WGUL, AM860 and FM93.7 in Tampa, Florida.In Closing…It’s time to dismantle the corrupt grip of corporate profiteers on American healthcare. Government subsidies, favorable regulations, and laws rigged to benefit for-profit insurers and hospital chains have fueled skyrocketing costs, rampant claim denials, and obscene executive payouts—turning a public necessity into a private windfall.We must return to proven nonprofit models that prioritize patients over shareholders.Demand bold federal legislation: mandate nonprofit status for insurers and hospitals, eliminate shareholder extraction, cap overhead, and restore genuine competition. This isn’t anti-capitalism, and it’s not pro-government takeover of healthcare. It’s the re-institution of nonprofits as the driving cause in our American health system—it’s expunging corruption and going back to the future.Contact your representatives now.

K Street’s Lawfare Democrats Weaponize Anonymous Lies To Mislead Voters

The modern Democrat Party no longer trusts elections to deliver power; it trusts Marc Elias, Norm Eisen, Mary McCord, and Andrew Weissmann—along with their K Street lawfare factories—to manufacture it through deception. These are not mere attorneys; they are political arsonists in $3,000 suits who have turned the First Amendment into a loaded weapon.From the marble lobbies of Perkins Coie to the revolving doors of WilmerHale and Covington & Burling, the Lawfare Democrat class—led by Elias (the architect of the 2016 Clinton-funded Steele dossier), Eisen (author of the “how-to” impeachment playbook), Mary McCord (the DOJ official who helped launch Crossfire Hurricane and later became the legal face of every anti-Trump “resistance” group), and Weissmann (Mueller’s pit bull)—has perfected the false-flag media operation. They invent a scandal, launder it through “anonymous sources,” and watch their stenographers at CNN, NPR, and The Atlantic detonate it across the country. The goal is never truth; it is always partisan domination by any means necessary.The formula is brutally simple: a Lawfare operative drafts a lurid claim, feeds it to a cooperative reporter as coming from “a senior official familiar with the matter,” and the story is published without a single named source or piece of verifiable evidence. Retractions, when they finally crawl out weeks later, are printed on page 19 in 8-point font. By then, the damage is done—polls have moved, donors have panicked, and another chunk of the republic’s faith in institutions has been hollowed out.Four recent examples expose the playbook in crystalline detail.Arlington Cemetery “Desecration” HoaxDays after Trump visited Section 60 to honor the 13 service members killed in Biden’s Afghanistan withdrawal, NPR—citing only anonymous “Army officials”—accused Trump’s team of shoving cemetery staff and illegally filming a campaign ad on sacred ground. The story was immediately weaponized by Kamala Harris and every blue-check pundit on X. Within 48 hours, the Gold Star families themselves released statements and video proving they had personally invited Trump and thanked him for being there. The “anonymous officials”? Almost certainly coordinated through Marc Elias’s network, whose firm has specialized in weaponizing military families against Republicans since the Russiagate era. NPR’s half-hearted correction came only after the families threatened legal action.The Atlantic’s “Hitler Praised Generals” RevivalJeffrey Goldberg, still nursing wounds from his debunked 2020 “suckers and losers” fantasy, dropped another anonymously sourced bombshell weeks before the election: Trump, according to “sources close to the former president,” had repeatedly praised Hitler’s generals and complained about the cost of a slain soldier’s funeral. The timing was surgical—maximum panic, minimum time for fact-checking. John Kelly, the supposed primary source, refused to go on the record. No one else ever did. Yet the story dominated the final stretch of the campaign. Behind the curtain: Norm Eisen and Mary McCord were openly coordinating anti-Trump messaging with Atlantic writers during this exact period, according to leaked Signal chats later published by independent journalists.The “Astronauts Aren’t Stranded” GaslightingWhen Trump and Elon Musk moved aggressively to bring home NASA astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore—left orbiting for ten months because of Boeing’s Starliner debacle under Biden—NPR ran an extraordinary piece insisting the astronauts were “not stranded at all,” citing only anonymous “agency sources.” This directly contradicted NPR’s own reporting from the previous nine months, in which the word “stranded” had appeared dozens of times. The sudden reversal came just as Trump was scoring political points for decisive action. The fingerprints of Andrew Weissmann’s network were all over it; former Obama-Biden holdovers inside NASA and the White House comms shop, still taking marching orders from the Lawfare clique, fed the line to friendly reporters to blunt the president’s momentum.The Cabinet Purge Whispers:Firing Kash Patel & Kristi NoemAs whispers of a post-midterm reshuffle gained traction, outlets like MS NOW and The Daily Beast unleashed a barrage of anonymously sourced speculation that Trump was plotting to axe two of his most loyal lieutenants: FBI Director Kash Patel and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.In late November, MS NOW cited “three people with knowledge of the situation who requested anonymity” to claim Trump was “weighing” Patel’s ouster over alleged missteps, including using a government jet for a date with his girlfriend, Alexis Wilkins, and assigning FBI resources to her security detail. The story painted Patel as “on thin ice,” with Co-Deputy Director Andrew Bailey floated as a replacement—ignoring Patel’s successes in ramping up arrests of violent felons.Just days later, similar anonymous “sources” fueled reports of Noem’s impending firing, tied to her hiring of Corey Lewandowski amid rumors of an affair, with CNN and OK! Magazine amplifying claims that White House frustration was boiling over. By early December, The Daily Beast bundled both into a “borrowed time” narrative, suggesting a 2026 purge of Patel, Noem, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to “clean house.”The White House detonated the hoax in real time: Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt recounted reading the Patel headline to Trump mid-meeting with the FBI chief, prompting laughter and a photo-op thumbs-up to debunk it as “Fake News.” Noem’s team dismissed the smears as baseless gossip. Yet the timing—coinciding with Patel’s aggressive probes into Deep State holdovers and Noem’s mass deportation push—reeks of sabotage. K Street’s hand? Undeniable: Mary McCord’s “Protect Democracy” network and Weissmann’s alumni have been spotted in DC salons bragging about “destabilizing” Trump’s enforcers through precisely these leaks, turning loyalists into liabilities overnight.The Epstein Redacted Photos SmearIn a brazen partisan stunt just days ago, on December 13, 2025, House Oversight Committee Democrats selectively released 19 redacted photos from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate out of over 95,000 received, prominently featuring images of Trump with women’s faces blacked out to imply sinister ties and possible knowledge of Epstein’s abuses. Freshman Rep. Yassamin Ansari posted the images on X, calling them “vile, disturbing new photos of Donald Trump that raise even more question about knowledge of abuses at Epstein’s estate.”The selective redactions fueled immediate media frenzy, reviving long-debunked Epstein-Trump guilt-by-association narratives at a moment when Trump’s DOJ was pushing full file transparency.But the hoax collapsed swiftly: unredacted versions revealed the women as adult Hawaiian Tropic suntan lotion models at a 1990s Mar-a-Lago promotional event tied to Trump’s Miss Universe ownership—one even praising him in interviews as a “gentleman.” Faces were redacted at the individuals’ own request, per Epstein estate lawyers, yet Democrats cherry-picked and presented them to manufacture innuendo. The White House blasted it as another “Democrat hoax,” with Trump dismissing the recycled smears. This Lawfare-orchestrated leak—echoing Mary McCord’s “resistance” networks coordinating with congressional Democrats—aimed to distract from embarrassing Epstein ties to figures like Bill Clinton while tarring Trump anew.These are not mistakes. They are deliberate acts of political warfare executed by a permanent class of Democrat lawyers—Elias, Eisen, McCord, Weissmann, and their junior associates—who have openly boasted on podcasts and at Georgetown salons about using “democracy-protecting” lawfare and media manipulation to neutralize populist threats. Each hoax chips away at Trump’s mandate, forcing defensive firefights that distract from draining the swamp.The American voter must learn to see through this theater of deception. Every time we reward anonymous smears with outrage, retweets, or shifted votes, we hand these disgusting, deceitful operatives another link in the chains they are forging for all of us. If we continue to let miscreants like Marc Elias, Mary McCord, and their shadowy, greasy ilk substitute fabricated narratives for earned political victories, we will not wake up in the America our founders envisioned—we will wake up in politically manufactured chains, governed by whoever controls the last leak to The Atlantic.The choice is ours, but the hour is late.When we come back, our segment on America’s Third Watch, broadcast nationally from our flagship station WGUL, AM860 and FM93.7 in Tampa, Florida.In Closing…The Lawfare Democrats—Elias, Eisen, McCord, Weissmann—don’t debate you at the ballot box anymore. They invent anonymous scandals, leak them to their media stooges, and watch the Republic bleed trust.The lies at Arlington, Goldberg’s Hitler fantasies, gaslighting about astronauts, the latest fake purge bullshit, and false-flag photos: same playbook, same liars, same goal—power without permission.If we keep swallowing these poison pills disguised as “breaking news,” the chains they’re forging won’t be metaphorical. Wake up! Question every unsourced story, and remember: the people who scream loudest about protecting democracy are usually the ones trying to kill it.Until next time… Get full access to Underground USA at www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe

How Voter Turnout Disasters & Voter Apathy Are Handing The Country To Democratic Socialists

Let’s cut the bullshit, and this is going to be a little harsh, so strap in: the Republican Party, from its bumbling state chapters to the bloated national machine, has once again proven itself utterly incompetent at the one job that matters—getting its voters to the polls in off-year elections.On December 9, 2025, in Miami, a measly 21.3% turnout handed the mayor’s office to Democrat Eileen Higgins, who crushed Trump-endorsed Republican Emilio González 59% to 41%. That’s right—only 37,496 out of 175,692 registered voters bothered to show up in a city that’s supposed to be a conservative stronghold in Hispanic-heavy Florida. This isn’t just a loss; it’s a humiliating surrender, ending nearly 30 years of GOP control in a place where Republicans have preached family values and border security for generations.Higgins, a 61-year-old former county commissioner with a resume padded by Peace Corps stints in Belize, didn’t just win—she signed on explicitly to Democratic Socialism, campaigning with a platform that reeked of equity-driven policies, environmental hand-wringing over Biscayne Bay, and streamlined services that sound an awful lot like government overreach dressed in feel-good drag. Her victory amplified a realignment among Hispanic voters battered by economic squeezes and federal policy whiplash, as noted in sharp election coverage.And it’s not an isolated fuck-up. Across the country, from Seattle’s socialist strongholds to New York’s progressive playgrounds, Democratic Socialists are racking up wins in these low-stakes races, turning city halls into petri dishes for equity experiments and wealth redistribution schemes. The GOP? They’re asleep at the wheel, too busy circle-jerking over presidential fantasies to notice the ground crumbling beneath them.Miami’s debacle is the poster child for this electoral malpractice. Higgins waltzed into office by hammering affordable housing and falsely slamming Republican immigration crackdowns as heartless attacks on Cuban, Venezuelan, and Haitian families right in Little Havana. González, the ex-city manager who ran USCIS under Bush and pushed for axing property taxes while toughening borders, had the dream team of endorsements: Trump, DeSantis, Rick Scott, Ted Cruz. What did it get him? A 41% ass-kicking in a nonpartisan race where national Dem groups poured in cash to flip the script.Turnout at 21.3% is unacceptable at every level—city, county, state, national. It’s not bad luck; it’s a symptom of a party that’s forgotten how to fight when the cameras aren’t rolling. Republicans whine about “low-turnout protests” fueling these losses, as if that’s an excuse rather than a confession of their own laziness.NewsMax reports Democrats crowing about these Florida and Georgia off-year victories as “momentum” for 2026, with the Democrat Legislative Campaign Committee dropping $50 million on an expanded war chest targeting 42 state chambers. In Georgia, Dems snagged a state House special election to replace a Republican rep, narrowing the GOP edge while holding onto a runoff in suburban Atlanta. These aren’t flukes; they’re the bleeding edge of a socialist creep that’s already colonized blue cities but now eyes red-state underbellies.This wave of Democratic Socialist triumphs isn’t confined to Miami’s humid sprawl. Zoom out, and you’ll see the pattern: from Seattle, where eco-socialists have locked down city council seats with mandates for rent control and “just transition” green boondoggles, to New York, where Mamdani and AOC-style firebrands have turned boroughs into laboratories for universal basic income pilots and defund-the-police reruns. Miami’s just the latest notch, a gateway drug for Marxism-lite in the Sunshine State, complete with Higgins’ full-throated embrace of the ideology.These wins thrive in the shadows of off-year apathy, where ideologues on the Left mobilize like it’s D-Day, door-knocking and meme-warrioring while conservatives treat local races like optional Netflix binges. The GOP apparatuses—those sclerotic state parties and the national RNC clown car—deserve a lion’s share of the blame for this abstract failure to manufacture turnout. They’ve got the data, the donor lists, the algorithms, but zero fucking aptitude to use them. Instead of blanketing airwaves with ads exposing how “Democratic Socialism” is just Stalinism with pronouns, they let narratives fester unchecked.Deep-pocket Republicans and conservatives, those Wall Street fat cats and Silicon Valley turncoats, too busy golfing and comfortable in their self-importance, who fund the party like it’s a vanity project, are the worst offenders. Clueless doesn’t begin to cover it—they’re willfully blind, dumping billions into presidential PACs and TV blitzes while starving the grassroots organizations that actually do effective work at the local level. Preserving Trump’s reform movement? Forget it. Without recapturing county commissions, school boards, and state legislatures—and maintaining majorities in the US House, that “movement” is just a tweetstorm waiting to die.But here’s the ugly truth, and I’m sure you’re not going to like it: the Republican voter base owns this mess too. You—yes, you, the self-proclaimed patriot scrolling this on your phone—consistently ignore off-year elections like they’re someone else’s problem.These off-year and midterm elections aren’t sideshows; they’re the demolition derby where mandated governments get torched before they metastasize. While you’re too busy watching little Portnoy’s soccer game or lying to yourself that everyone else will show up to the polls, ignoring that special election for city council or state rep (a true mark of apathetic laziness, I might add), the Marxist left’s activists—those tattooed, nose-riged baristas and arrogant adjunct profesors high on their own propaganda—don’t rest. They bus in voters, litigate every ballot, and whisper sweet nothings about “systemic inequities” to flip precincts one by one.Off-year races are where the real power consolidates: zoning laws that greenlight homeless encampments, curricula that indoctrinate kids with critical race theory, budgets that balloon welfare rolls. By sitting it out and/or absolving yourself from your civic responsibility to vote, conservatives and Libertarians aren’t abstaining; they’re abdicating, handing the keys to the very radicals who view your values—our values—as obstacles to their Marxist utopia.The national GOP’s response? Pathetic deflections.President Trump, rallying in Pennsylvania, sniped at Democrats as “Bonnie and Clyde preaching public safety” and the “enemy of the working class,” urging focus on prices, borders, and growth. Fair enough, but that’s 2026 talk. Where’s the machine to make it stick in 2025’s election battles? State parties in Florida and Georgia mumble about “media-fueled protests” and low turnout favoring “ideologically motivated” Dems, as if building motivation is optional.Bullshit!The deep-pocket crowd needs to wake up: invest in the future, or watch it burn. Fund those scrappy organizations that spearhead county initiatives that reclaim the narrative—town halls blasting the dangers of socialism and Marxism masquerading as “progressive equity.” Educate the base, not with useless TED Talks, but with billboards and mailers screaming how Democratic Socialism guts small businesses, spikes crime, and erodes freedoms.Grassroots isn’t a buzzword; it’s the firewall against this creep.No reform movement—not Trump’s, not whatever MAGA 2.0 or libertarian fever dream follows—can succeed if Republican, conservative, and Libertarian voters stay unengaged and apathetic to off-year and midterm elections, and no grassroots movement to save the nation can succeed id the deep-pockets of the Right ignore their responsibility to the nation that provided them the opportunity to be successful in the fucking first place.The activists, financiers, and voters of the Marxist and arrogantly ignorant Left don’t rest. They plot, they agitate, they vote; their commissars depend on it. We simply cannot be apathetic and unengaged anymore. Get off your ass, GOP, and consolidate your slates so there’s not thirteen people running at the same fucking time! Take your hands out of your pockets, money people, and start funding the local, county, and state movements. Politics trickles up, not down!And this must all start yesterday—or we need to get used to toasting victories from the opposition’s banquet.When we come back, our segment on America’s Third Watch, broadcast nationally from our flagship station WGUL, AM860 and FM93.7 in Tampa, Florida.In Closing…Miami just handed its mayor’s office to an open Democratic Socialist because only 21.3% of voters showed up. Seattle, New York, Georgia, New Jersey, Virginia: the same pattern, the same apathy.The GOP machine has proved itself useless too many times, the big donors are, evidently, either clueless or too self-absorbed, and too many of us treat off-year elections like optional chores.Here’s the brutal truth: no Trump movement, no conservative comeback, no libertarian revival survives if we keep sleeping through the fights that actually build power. The Marxist left never rests. Starting now, neither can we.Wake up, show up, or watch every city fall—watch our Republic fall, one pathetic turnout at a time.Until next time… Get full access to Underground USA at www.undergroundusa.com/subscribe
