A Big Mac, and a Dollar.

  • Post author:
  • Post category:Opinion

I grew up believing an honest hour’s work should buy an honest meal. In the late 1980s, the federal minimum was $3.35 an hour. When the wage went up to $3.75 in 1990, a Big Mac meal back then—burger, medium fries, medium Coke—ran about $3.50 to $4.00 before tax. One hour of work, maybe 50 minutes, and those at that pay level walked out full with change in their pocket.Fast-forward to 2025. The federal minimum wage in many states is still $7.25. Yet today that same Big Mac combo costs $12 to $15. The kid making $7.25…

I’m not a PhD. I’m an A&P — I hold an FAA ticket, and I’ve seen what happens when engineers forget real-world failure modes. I started at 73%. I’m now at 96% that Mars is a cover story. 1.

Returning to the 2015 Debt-to-GDP Ratio: A Path for President Trump

Current Context (as of November 15, 2025):The U.S. federal debt held by the public stood at 99.8% of GDP at the end of FY 2025 (September 30, 2025), with gross federal debt at approximately 123%. Two weeks ago (October 31, 2025), the gross debt-to-GDP ratio was 123%, based on $38.019 trillion in total debt. In 2015, the public debt-to-GDP ratio was 73.6% — a level last seen before the post-2008 surge in deficits, the 2017 tax cuts, and pandemic-era spending. Returning to 73.6% requires reducing the ratio by ~26 percentage points — a historic fiscal pivot. Below is a…

The Case for Iowa 2.0

I. The Hole in the Fleet Every U.S. Carrier Strike Group (CSG) today is a masterpiece of airpower projection—100,000 tons of diplomacy, 90 aircraft, and a 600-mile reach. Yet when the Marines hit the beach, the gunfire dies. Since the last Iowa-class battleship was decommissioned in 1992, the Navy has had zero ships capable of sustained, high-volume, low-cost coastal bombardment. Tomahawks cost $2 million each. 5-inch guns reach 13 miles and carry 400 rounds. Zumwalt’s advanced guns sit idle—the $800,000 shells were canceled.In a Taiwan Strait scenario, the PLA could dig 100 miles of fortified coastline. Air wings…

Nancy Pelosi has gone full on Nazi!

"He's just a vile creature, the worst thing on the face of the Earth."-Nancy Pelosi, about President Trump, 11/4/2025 I wouldn't have had an issue with this statement if she hadn't used 'creature' and 'thing' to describe President Trump. If she wrote, He's just a vile person, the worst human on the face of Earth. That would be an opinion, no harm, no foul. The Nazis used her exact wording about the Jews to persuade the German citizens to approve their murders. Published by Editor, Sammy Campbell.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy-Toxic Frost

If I were Ukraine’s President, I’d go Roman on Moscow as General Scipio did to Carthage. I cannot understand why President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is holding back on Moscow.Vladimir Putin wants to possess all of Ukraine; otherwise, he’d be suing for peace at the current battle lines. Therefore, Vladimir Putin will not destroy the most fertile farmland in the world by using nuclear weapons in Ukraine. Ukraine has hybrid vehicles capable of reaching Moscow.Imagine a thousand drone hybrids hitting Moscow in the dead of night with radioactive waste! The drones detonate 30 feet above the ground. The people…

If I were the Secretary of War.

I recently learned about Iran’s ghost fleet of oil tankers that Iran uses to circumvent the international sanctions on its oil exports. As much as 5 million barrels of crude are being transferred Ship to Ship [STS] to Chinese tankers daily in the Malacca Strait. Our Virginia 774 class submarines haven’t had the MQ-9B SeaGuardians integrated into the weapon control system. I would make that integration a priority for the Navy.The SeaGuardian drones have an on-station endurance of up to 40 hours in loitering configuration. Our SSN 774s could destroy targets without revealing their presence. Iran is…

Aye, There Be Ghost Ships: Iran’s Shadow Fleet.

Indeed, the seas teem with spectral vessels these days—ghost ships that glide unseen, ferrying forbidden cargo under cloaks of deception. In the South China Sea and beyond, Iran's notorious "shadow fleet" (or "ghost fleet") operates as a clandestine armada, enabling Tehran to smuggle oil despite international sanctions. This network, comprising hundreds of aging tankers, shell companies, and illicit logistics, primarily funnels Iranian crude to China via high-risk ship-to-ship (STS) transfers. These shadowy handoffs often unfold in the Strait of Malacca, off Malaysia's coast—particularly in the Riau Archipelago and Eastern Outer Port Limits—posing grave risks to the environment,…

California: Newsom and Proposition 47’s Legacy Policy Context: Newsom, a progressive Democrat, has supported decarceration and rehabilitation-focused policies, notably defending Proposition 47 (2014), which reduced penalties for low-level theft and drug offenses. Critics argue this fostered a perception of leniency, spiking shoplifting and burglaries.Crime Surge and Reversals: Shoplifting rose 28% from 2019-2023, with San Francisco and LA seeing retail losses of $4B annually. High-profile store closures (e.g., Target in SF, 2021) were partly blamed on theft, though e-commerce also factored. By 2025, Newsom’s 2024 anti-crime package (10 bills, including felony charges for serial theft) cut shoplifting 15% and…

Jay Jones’ Texts: Two bullets to the head of Todd Gilbert

  • Post category:Opinion

In the crucible of Virginia’s 2025 attorney general race, a leaked scandal from August 2022 has erupted, threatening Democratic nominee Jay Jones’ campaign against Republican incumbent Jason Miyares. On October 3, 2025—just weeks before Election Day—National Review unveiled screenshots of private text messages where Jones, then a former state delegate, unleashed a chilling fantasy of violence against then-House Speaker Todd Gilbert (R-Shenandoah). Sent to Republican Del. Carrie Coyner amid a debate on gun violence legislation, the full quote reads: “Three people two bullets Gilbert, hitler, and pol pot Gilbert gets two bullets to the head Spoiler: put…

Chicago’s officials are normalizing Mexico’s corruption.

  • Post author:
  • Post category:Opinion

I've always believed that the first casualty of weak leadership isn't just safety—it's the soul of a society. When those in charge tie the hands of the people sworn to protect us, it doesn't just let bad actors slip through the cracks; it teaches everyone else that the cracks are the new normal. Lately, staring at the news reports from the heartland, I've seen this play out in stark, chilling parallels between the cartel-riddled streets of Mexico and the so-called sanctuary haven of Chicago. It's not hyperbole—it's a blueprint for how civilizations crumble from within, one stand-down…

I asked Grok a question about the L.A. Fires. The burned-out home lots; are the owners still paying the full property tax?Grok: In summary, while owners aren't stuck paying full taxes on nonexistent homes, proactive steps are essential to secure reductions and deferrals. If your property is in an affected area, contact the assessor immediately to confirm status—relief is designed to ease recovery, not burden victims further.Me:I thought so. It was short-sighted not to protect that billion of dollars tax stream. It was like having a flock of geese that lay golden eggs, but the owner allowed…

Our Journey to Seek the Truth

As a writer for DCDocumentsReports.com, I pride myself on rooting every story in verifiable documents—facts over speculation. This week, I nearly dove headfirst into a blockbuster claim that could have reshaped the narrative of January 6, 2021. Inspired by Scott Adams' morning show on October 3, 2025, where he touted Kash Patel’s assertion of a written refusal by Nancy Pelosi to deploy National Guard troops—potentially costing Ashli Babbitt her life—I set out to verify it. What followed was a rollercoaster of investigation, skepticism, and a partnership with an AI truth-seeker that kept me grounded. Here’s our journey. The…

I got in trouble at Cal Fire for doing the right thing!

Last night, while others slept, I had a conversation with Grok about inaccuracies by Hollywood's elites. This led to my account of trouble at Cal Fire.Me: I watched some of "Time Cop" on Netflix. There was a grievous error that made me reject any further time watching it. A man went back in time to steal gold bullion from the Confederacy. The government captured the man with the gold. Then the official said, "The gold was marked as Confederacy gold, but we confirmed it was from that time by Carbon dating the gold." I will go with…

Hamacrats: The Indoctrination Waltz

In the neon haze of 2025 Chicago—call it New Gaza on a bad day—classroom screens flicker with a twisted cartoon. No, Farfour the Mouse is knifing demonic pigs here, but close: a teacher waves a squirt gun, blasting a projected Donald Trump while howling, “Die, die, die, fascist!” Her students cackle, their eyes gleaming with the same glee that comes from lashing a toddler with branches. “This is resistance!” she declares, wiping water from her brow. “Like those brave Gaza shows—hate the oppressor, stay pure.” The kids nod, minds molded by TikTok reels: Hamas clips of tots…

The Democrats’ Blood-Drenched Ledger

  • Post author:
  • Post category:Reparations

I’ve ripped the curtain off the Democrats’ vile history, and it’s a cesspool of horrors they’ve buried like cowards. Since the 1960s, they’ve had public education in a chokehold, scrubbing their atrocities from history books nationwide to keep kids ignorant. I went through school from 1968 to 1980—those textbooks? Not a whisper about the savage murders of Black Union soldiers. My friend, a Black female doctor my age, was floored when I told her about these crimes—she never learned them either! Democrats didn’t just hide their guilt; they erased it from every classroom in America. Time to…

Women; you have been replaced!

Picture this: a seven-year-old boy, adopted and brown-skinned in the heart of white-bread Minnesota, standing awkwardly alone at a family reunion in Hutchinson. The summer air hums with distant laughter and the sizzle of burgers on the grill. Out of nowhere, a young woman and an older one—strangers, really—sidle into his space, their conversation a grown-up blur. He pipes up with some innocent question, the kind only a kid asks, but the words dissolve in the woman's sharp gaze as she bends down, her voice a venomous whisper: "You are replaceable. Soon, we won't need men to…

To believe Democrats, then X is good.

  • Post category:Opinion

Democrats claim millions in Africa will die due to Trump’s defunding of USAID. From a climate change perspective, this aligns with their own logic—fewer people, less environmental strain. They argue that human breathing, the use of fossil fuels, and the burning of wood contribute to the release of greenhouse gases. Tribal cattle herds in Africa, which Democrats say emit harmful methane through burps and farts, further damage the planet. By their own reasoning, these millions of lives lost would be a noble sacrifice for Mother Earth—a win for their climate agenda, though they’d never admit it. This exposes…

The Democrats have further radicalized me.

  • Post author:
  • Post category:Opinion

Since 2019, Democrats have increasingly equated words with violence. During the Black Lives Matter protests and riots of 2020, they went further, declaring silence itself as a form of violence. This created a chilling environment where expressing opinions—or choosing not to speak—could lead to condemnation if those views didn’t align with Democratic ideology.I witnessed people being beaten while dining outdoors at restaurants, pressured to repeat phrases demanded by protesters. As someone unable to speak due to Primary Lateral Sclerosis (PLS), I would have been vulnerable to such beatings. Forcing individuals to conform to specific speech under threat…

The British Crown’s Shadow: A Conspiracy Behind the Attempts on Trump’s Life

  • Post category:Opinion

The assassination of Charlie Kirk, a prominent conservative voice, sent shockwaves through the nation, prompting me to revisit the chilling pattern of attempts on Donald Trump’s life, starting with the 2016 incident in Las Vegas, Nevada. As a patriot who refuses to believe in coincidences, I’m convinced these events point to a sinister, covert operation orchestrated at the highest levels—potentially involving the British Crown and its intelligence apparatus, possibly outsourced by American Democrats or government insiders. The lack of concrete evidence? That’s exactly what you’d expect from a well-run op. The Las Vegas Attempt: A British Subject’s RoleOn…

On September 10, 2025, conservative activist Charlie Kirk was assassinated at Utah Valley University during his “American Comeback Tour.” Some, like Ben Shapiro on his YouTube live broadcast, claim he was killed over disagreements with his views. That’s not the full story. Kirk was targeted because he was a master of conservative evangelism, delivering powerful homilies that converted thousands to the cause of liberty.Kirk’s intelligence and debating skills made him a threat to the extreme left that they couldn’t ignore. On college campuses across America, he used logic and science to persuade students that you can’t change…

Why the Founding Fathers Said Our Rights Come from God

  • Post author:
  • Post category:Opinion

Senator Tim Kaine (D-Va.) recently claimed our rights come from the government, not God, comparing the idea of God-given rights to Iran’s theocratic regime. Talk about a swing and a miss! Constitutional scholar Senator Ted Cruz corrected him, citing the Declaration of Independence, which states our rights are “endowed by our Creator.” Why did the Founders root our rights in God?The answer is simple: humans are corruptible. A king, dictator, or government can grant rights and just as easily yank them away. By declaring our inalienable rights—life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness—come from a divine source,…

The Hidden Cost of Gambling’s Glitter: A Personal Reflection on Addiction and Accountability.

At 64, I carry a lesson from my childhood that has shaped how I navigate the dazzling yet dangerous world of gambling. When I was a young boy, my father took me to the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. As we stood in its opulent halls, surrounded by the clinking of slot machines and the grandeur of a palace fit for a king, he turned to me and said, “Markie, this place was not built from winners.” Those words, spoken decades ago, have never left me. They are a reminder that the glittering allure of casinos—and now,…
