A Reality Check for “Useful Idiots”

by Carrie K. Hutchens

You’re joking, right?
 
You aren’t?
 
You actually want to live under socialism, Marxism or communism rule?
 
Really?
 
And your brain cells were last seen where?
 
It’s been a trying period living in the same universe with you during your childish, uninformed tantrum throwing, know-it-all phase – but you have just stepped over the line into a realm of self-destruction that I’m not willing to excuse or willingly be a part of.
 
Grow up!
 
Get you some learning!
 
Open a history book!
 
Talk to people who have been there and done that!
 
Stop idolizing people who, if in the control you are trying to give them, will kill or torture you.
 
Ever hear of a wolf in sheep’s clothing? They aren’t your friend. You won’t be the exception. You are, after all, a useful idiot. Yes, “useful idiot.”
 
People laugh at your ignorance on both sides, when not ticked off because you are creating problems for those that have history and experience under their belts, so to speak.
 
Maybe some of you need to see the video of the woman being decapitated as she called out praying in the terrifying chant that suddenly went silent.
 
Maybe truth needs to shake you and say… this is one of the things you are wrongly inviting into your life and trying to pull the rest of us in with you.
 
Maybe you should hear the horrifying stories of the people being marched into the gas chamber or surgically experimented on without anesthesia.
 
Maybe you should be forced to hear the screams over and over until your brain wakes up and you realize you aren’t safe from all that has been and could be again.
 
Take that brainwashed brain of yours, dry it out and take it to the dry cleaners for lie removal.
 
Get a bottle of lie prevention and prepare to learn the truth and walk away from all those who are USING YOU for their own hate-filed dangerous schemes and deadly goals.
 
Only you can kick-start your common sense and get your brain functioning again!
 
Yes, only you!
 
Do it!

Mission Statement: The Antidote to Gaslighting and Radical Overreach

Standing firm against manipulation, media echo chambers, and the politics of destruction.

The mission of this blog has always been to stand up for truth, common sense, and intellectual honesty. I do not care about political party labels, and I do not trust anyone—regardless of their affiliation—who uses lies, gaslighting, and personal destruction against those who simply disagree with them.

However, it is an undeniable reality that the vast majority of this toxic behavior currently stems from the radical left and extremist Democrats. When I address these issues, my focus is explicitly trained on exposing these radical elements and their destructive philosophy of BAMN (By Any Means Necessary) to force their agendas.


Unmasking the “By Any Means Necessary” Tactics

When a political movement decides that any method is justifiable to achieve its goals, truth is the very first casualty. We see this constantly from radical elements who use media echo chambers, political pressure, and outright gaslighting to herd people into compliance while silencing dissent.

Whether they are trying to get people fired, physically harming others, or running smear campaigns just for a difference of opinion, these actions are unacceptable. My writing is specifically intended to pull back the curtain on these exact maneuvers and provide an open antidote to the mind-control tactics used by modern propaganda masters.

Why This Specific Focus Matters

Focusing heavily on liberal overreach and radicalism is a deliberate choice based on current cultural realities:

    • Exposing the Tactics, Not Just the Party: My target is the behavior—the lying, the silencing, and the efforts to ruin people’s livelihoods or safety just for holding a different opinion.

    • Calling Out the Current Source: While no political side is immune to flaws, the sheer number of public incidents clearly demonstrates that the radical left is currently the primary force weaponizing these methods under the guise of progress.

    • Restoring Logic: Society used to demand objective facts and integrity; this blog aims to stir up those memories and push back against a modern, “dumbed-down” political cult.

This space remains dedicated to real facts, unyielding truth, and challenging the radical forces attempting to rewrite common sense.

Each poem speaks from the perspective of a mystery object, animal, or concept. It gives you clever clues, subtle hints, and rhythmic verses, daring you to figure out exactly who—or what—is speaking to you!

It is the perfect book to:

    • Share with family and friends to see who can solve the mysteries first.
    • Gift to the book lovers in your life who enjoy a creative mental challenge.

Progressive prosecutors lit the fuse, and teen mobs are the explosion

Rooftop Revelations: From Chicago to Los Angeles, fewer prosecutions and broken homes have robbed youth of the guardrails they need

By Corey Brooks

For some time now, we have watched chaos roll through our streets in various forms. Authorities call it “teen takeovers.” Hundreds of young people, rallied by a social media post, flood an area — whether it be the Loop in Chicago or a gas station in Atlanta — and jump on cars, loot stores and attack police. They film it all on their phones as if it were a video game with no real-life consequences.

We all know the obvious: It is a sign that something deep in our culture has broken. That is true, but how? What strikes me is the lack of fear these youths show. That, for me, is the first sign.

When I was a young boy living in the country town of Kenton, Tenn., I feared God. I feared my elders. This was a good fear. It was the fear that kept me on the straight path.  (Continue Reading)

Living in a Reverse Universe

by
by Carrie K. Hutchens

I have often wondered if I am living in a reverse universe.  A universe where evil wins and good goes down in flames at almost every turn.  A universe where lies are the norm and the truth is challenged and then crushed by the gaslighters, who deem themselves the righteous ones.

It is something I wonder about.

Is there more than one dimension?  Am I in another one?  Am I happy?  Did my life turn out as I had once wished for?  Did I travel to all those places I once longed to travel to?

Oh yes, I do wonder.

I’ve seen some undeserving people end up living charmed lives with all their dreams come true, while others – ones who were/are deserving – ended up with one challenge after another and many tears shed.

I wonder why that is.

It is something to think about sometimes, though thinking about it will change nothing.  Never has.  No reason to believe it ever will.

Wonder is what I do.

If there is another universe and there is a me living there, I hope I am a good person doing good things.

I wonder if I am laughing in delight as I dance to life’s good things?

Maybe someday I will know if there is another universe where good wins and evil loses at every turn.  A universe where truth is ultimate, and the righteous truly are.

Until then… I’ll go on wondering.

15-year-old Black teen’s murder reveals the ugly truth about White guilt in America

by

Jaden Pierre was beaten and shot at a Queens park after a water balloon fight spiraled into a ‘teen takeover’

By Eli Steele

We live in a White guilt America. For over 60 years, we have held Blacks to a different criterion. We have compromised expectations, lowered our standards, and excused even the most horrific acts of violence because we fear being called racist. It is Black children like Jaden Pierre who often pay the price.

On April 16, 2026, 15-year-old Jaden Pierre helped organize a water balloon fight at Roy Wilkins Park in Queens. He promoted it on social media. Around 300 teenagers showed up for what was supposed to be a spring afternoon of innocent fun.

Jaden’s father reportedly dropped him off with the words, “I’ll pick you up in three hours.” Less than three hours later, Jaden was dead. A viral video showed him being cornered and beaten by multiple teens as dozens of bystanders filmed. No one intervened. Then he was shot in the chest at point-blank range. The boy who organized the fun never made it home. (Click to Continue Reading)

Dan Bongino reveals he found ‘mother lode’ of secret Russiagate files inside FBI burn bags

Former deputy director tells Hannity the roughly 100-page document was so sensitive it could not leave the office

By Madison Colombo

Former FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino revealed he found a “mother lode” of documents tied to the “Russiagate” investigation that he alleges were meant to be destroyed.

Speaking on the “Hang Out with Sean Hannity” podcast, Bongino said what he witnessed behind the scenes of “Crossfire Hurricane” — the FBI’s probe into potential collusion between President Donald Trump and Russia — was far more sinister than he anticipated.

“I thought I knew Russiagate,” Bongino told Hannity. “It was like 10 times worse.”  (Click to Continue Reading)

Until such time – I do not want to hear it

by

by Carrie K. Hutchens

Until such time as you invite a dangerous murderer, rapist and torturer to live next door and interact with your family – I don’t want to hear your so-called moral outrage.  Only then will I take your virtue signaling as anything more than “performance” safely carried out from afar.

It is suggested that some of you screaming to protect criminals from ICE are paid protesters?  Outrage for a buck?  Do you get paid well for your performance, or is the money just a bonus, and the real motive is to have a chance to harm and destroy?

It’s something I wonder as I watch your out-of-control anger and behavior.

Then we have the mayors and governors that get out there in front of the cameras and act like they are the crusaders for innocent victims, when the opposite is true.  Yes, indeed, when they attempt to stop ICE from locating and arresting murderers, rapists, and torturers, they are creating the opportunity for more “innocent” victims.  You know… “innocent” people who will then be brutally killed, raped, and/or tortured because the perps were protected by those in control and by the crowds they allow to take over the streets.

Oh, and let’s not forget the celebrities and other rich people, who dare to lecture everyone else, while having bodyguards and security to keep their world safe from the very dangerous people they are suggesting the rest of us should welcome into ours.  So brave of you.

If you haven’t noticed, I don’t have much use for virtue signalers, protesters, or government officials seeking to protect the guilty.   You’re so willing to sacrifice others and demand that the rest of us willingly accept the dangers you expose us to.

None of you have, nor deserve, my respect and, until such time as you invite the dangerous criminals you so readily defend to live next door to you and interact with your family – I don’t want to hear your virtual signaling.  It isn’t worth the breath it blows out on, and definitely a waste of my time and yours.

DAVID MARCUS: Spurning Trump means Mayor Jacob Frey owns Minneapolis mess

Gov. Walz signals openness to dialogue while Frey refuses to cooperate with federal agents

By David Marcus

After protest, agitation and chaos rocked Minneapolis over the weekend, President Donald Trump has offered leaders there an olive branch, and placed the political ball squarely in their court.

Trump’s offer to Mayor Jacob Frey and Gov. Tim Walz began with a very real concession, by replacing Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem and gung-ho Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino with the arguably more moderate Border Czar Tom Homan on the ground. The move angered many border hawks in his own party.  (Continue Reading)

Street takeovers and traffic control by agitators in Minnesota cross legal lines, retired detective says

by

By Stepheny Price

Agitators directing traffic and impeding law enforcement activity in Minnesota are drawing sharp criticism from a former police official, who warns the scenes signal a dangerous normalization of obstruction that threatens public safety and the rule of law.

Retired NYPD detective and adjunct professor Mike Alcazar told Fox News Digital the behavior would never have been tolerated during his career, calling the lack of intervention a clear departure from long-standing enforcement standards.

“It would have been shut down immediately. It never would have happened,” Alcazar said.  (Continue reading)

President Trump & the Democrat Saga of Incoherence

by

by Carrie K. Hutchens / on March 24, 2017 at 6:12 am /

The Democrats and anti-Trump forces seem to be so blinded by their hatred of the president that they have lost their ability to think coherently.  What else can one think when reviewing what has been transpiring?  It is so obvious.  Well, obvious to those of us who are not blinded by either hatred or the wish to destroy Donald Trump simply because he is Trump and perhaps a Republican.

Hillary Clinton was quite excited when she believed a Trump Tower server was communicating with Russia & she let the world know.  The question is – how did she know this was being checked into?

There was a transcript of Flynn’s discussion with the Russian ambassador.  The question is – how did we find out?

For all the accusations some Democrats have been & continue making, an important factor has gone unnoticed in their little thought processors of incoherence.  If there wasn’t any surveillance, how did surveillance gather the above information?  (i.e.  If one can only get to town by driving and they are in town – it’s a pretty sure bet they drove to town.)

Comey testified that there was no wiretap on Trump.  Why didn’t he add that while there was technically no “wiretap” – Trump and/or his team had been included in “incidental collection”, unmasked and the information shared among many?  He knew about it, didn’t he?  He knew it was shared, didn’t he?  So, why did he answer in such a way as to make it look as though Trump was lying or simply ignorant?

Attorney General Sessions was asked a long, rambling question by Sen. Franken.  The short of the story – or question – was if Sessions had any contact with the Russians with regard to the campaign.  He said he didn’t.  However, thereafter, the Democrats accused him of lying because he had two meetings with the Russian ambassador, unrelated to the campaign, that he had failed to mention.  Didn’t seem to matter that many in Congress have met with this very same ambassador.  Didn’t seem to matter that some even met with Putin.  Didn’t seem to matter that the question was in relationship to the campaign – Sessions should have, by their opinion, thought to say, “No, but I did meet with the ambassador in the course of my duties as senator.”

Then Senator Sessions was being questioned about the campaign – not his duties and meetings as a senator.  He answered the question asked.  His meetings with the ambassador were irrelevant to the issues at hand because they were not related to the campaign.  Comey, on the other hand, was being questioned about Trump and/or his team being under surveillance and he knew it.  He took advantage of “technical wordage”.  He took advantage of Trump using the term “wiretap”, though knowing exactly what was meant and that it was relevant and specific to the question presented.  In short, he intentionally misled the committee and the public.  This should be of grave concern to each and every one of us.  It is to me.

Additionally, why would it take so long to establish there was collusion (or not) between the Trump campaign & Russia, but so quickly be able to establish there was no surveillance on Trump & team?  Why haven’t they been able to identify the person responsible for leaking material, but able to say no person was involved in Trump surveillance?  Seems the only fast investigations they are able to perform is if it is an attempt to discredit the president and his team.  Amazing!

After Senator Nunes gave the press conference and notified the White House of what he had learned, Schiff was upset because Nunes hadn’t shared the info with the committee first.  And, now that the White House has been notified, Schiff feels there cannot be a fair hearing?  Why?  How does Nunes sharing the information affect the hearings?  After all, the Democrats have been insisting all along that Trump, as president, could pick up the phone and obtain all this information first hand.  What does it matter then that Nunes provided Trump what Trump could freely get on his own?

My personal opinion is that Trump didn’t wish to pick up the phone and ask for the information because, if he did, the Democrats and media would claim it was tainted, manipulated and completely false.  Instead, I believe he simply waited for the truth to come out, as he knew it would once people started paying attention to the evidence that was readily available all along.

By whatever term is utilized – Trump and his team were obviously under surveillance.  Information was gathered by some means and shared.  It really doesn’t matter if it was a physical wiretap such as they had in the 1960’s or information grabbed from the sky.  Somebody captured it.  Somebody gathered it.  Somebody shared it.  Somebody leaked it.  The latter of which, without question, is illegal.

Schiff & Pals try to make it all important that Trump used the word “wiretap”.  When Trump clarifies he was referring to surveillance – they try to say he is walking back his allegation because he has no proof.

Schiff is upset because Senator Nunes was provided info, which he discussed at a Press Conference and then shared with the White House.  If it is so important for Nunes to have shared with the committee first, why hasn’t Schiff provided the committee with the absolute proof he claims to have?  And if he has absolute proof, why are they wasting time and money on an unnecessary hearing to establish what is in his possession?  Might it be because he doesn’t have the proof he claims?

The Democrats seem to want one set of rules for themselves and a set of rules for people that aren’t them.  And in recent years, it seems that is exactly how things have played out.  Perhaps they have gotten too used to successfully bullying and are unable to comprehend that those days are over.  They are making fools of themselves and doing it for all of us to see.

But I digress.  (It’s easy to do, when trying to make sense out of the Democrat & media nonsense.)

The Democrats know that Jeff Sessions was asked if there was any Russian involvement in the campaign and that he answered truthfully.  They know but it didn’t stop them from trying to create an illusion of dishonesty to bring him down.

Comey intentionally provided a dishonest answer to the committee and to the public.  There is no way the Democrats aren’t aware of this fact, yet they are using that dishonest answer to claim Trump is the one being dishonest.

The out-of-control Democrats and media shower us every day with their little saga of incoherence.  They speculate and deem it facts.  They twist, spin and manipulate information and call it evidence.  They tell us there was no surveillance, but surveillance may have picked up Trump & Associates in “incidental collection”.  There were leaks of gathered information, but there was no surveillance, so I suppose we are to assume it poofed into someone’s possession as they happened to walk by the poof-receipt desk.

One day of fair reporting only and honest investigation would be a welcomed respite from the saga of incoherence and lock-step mindset of the out-of-control libs, their media buds & the brainwashed that blindly follow them.  It might also be the shock moment that opens minds and lets the truth and rational thought back in.  The day some Democrats fear most – a day President Trump keeps still another promise and the swamp gets a little less occupied!

A black robe doesn’t make one immune from the rule of law

Kash Patel and Judge Dugan (Kayla Bartkowski/Getty Images, left, Mike De Sisti / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images, right.)

By Jonathan Turley

“This is not normal.”

Those words from Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., are undeniably true after the arrest of Wisconsin Judge Hannah Dugan. However, the reason it is not normal is far more debatable. Dugan is accused of becoming a lawbreaker in seeking to obstruct an effort to arrest a man wanted by federal authorities. If true, that is manifestly not “normal.”

As soon as the news of the arrest was reported, Democrats declared another constitutional crisis. Klobuchar added that the arrest “is a drastic move threatening the rule of law” and a “grave step and undermines our system of checks and balances.”

That is a curious claim unless Klobuchar believes that the officers are lying. If not, Klobuchar is suggesting that a judge should not be held accountable for actively shielding a wanted person and facilitating their evasion of law enforcement.  (Continue Reading)

“Real Time” host Bill Maher revealed details Friday of his meeting last week with President Donald Trump at the White House, saying Trump was more gracious and good-humored than he expected.

“You can hate me for it, but I’m not a liar. Trump was gracious and measured,” Maher said. “And why isn’t that in other settings- I don’t know, and I can’t answer, and it’s not my place to answer. I’m just telling you what I saw, and I wasn’t high.”  (Click to continue reading)

Democrats showed this week that they clearly learned nothing from the last election

By Joe Concha

It’s been the theater of the absurd in the Senate this week for President-elect Trump’s Cabinet nominees, with Democrats playing the role of rogue clowns screaming (literally) for attention. 

If you’re just the average political observer, watching this show at home has likely been an annoying, infuriating and sometimes, comical experience. The questioning of Pete Hegseth, Trump’s pick for defense secretary, and Pam Bondi, his nominee for attorney general, has greatly diminished what was once a relatively dignified Senate chamber. 

So, who were the biggest losers of the week in these confirmation hearings? (Click to continue)

I left the Democrat Party and will do all I can to return Donald Trump to the White House

by

 by Tulsi Gabbard

This morning, I had the privilege of visiting Arlington Cemetery with President Trump and the Gold Star families of SSG Hoover and SGT Gee, two of the thirteen servicemembers who were killed in the attack at Abbey Gate in Kabul three years ago today.

Being there with President Trump, honoring the lives of those who sacrificed all, I saw firsthand the sorrow he shared with the families left behind, expressing his sincere appreciation the sacrifices made by their loved ones, our brothers and sisters, who paid the ultimate price.

This is personal for me. My first deployment to Iraq was with the Hawaii Army National Guard in 2005 where I served in a medical unit, every day confronted with the high cost of war. We lost so many of our brothers and sisters who never made that long trip home, and others who did come home, only to lose them to suicide.

President Trump understands the grave responsibility that our President and Commander in Chief has for us and our families, and values the lives of every one of us — Soldiers, Airmen, Sailors, Marines and Coasties. He knows the cost of war. It’s not just lip service.  During his first term as President, he not only didn’t start any new wars, he took action to de-escalate tensions and prevent conflict. He understands the cost of war and has shown he will exhaust all measures of diplomacy, having the courage to meet with adversaries, dictators and allies alike in the pursuit of peace, seeing war as a last resort.  (Continue Reading)
