Reader’s Commentary: Trump fought fraudulent investigations; now brings peace

By Bela “Bill” Suhayda It’s amazing to me Democrats are surprised Donald Trump is exacting justice on them now that he is our 47th president. The Dems illegally spied on him, and assigned a special prosecutor (Robert Mueller) to investigate him. We’ve now found out Barack Obama, James Comey, and

Police State new playbook: Martial law, one city at a time

By John & Nisha Whitehead Let’s not mince words: every American should be alarmed by president Donald Trump’s “Liberation Day” tactics, theatrics, and threats.

Reader’s Voice: The unrecognizable Democratic Party

August 10, 2025Dear editor; Commentator Bill Suhayda in his commentary August 7, claims that the Democratic Party has been taken over by communists, anti-Semites, anti-Americans, and subversives, and consequently, the Democratic Party today is unrecognizable. It is “unrecognizable”, I suggest, because the Democratic Party that he describes exists only in

Epstein files, opinions on AI, ICE comparisons in history

Musings: •What’s in the Jeffrey Epstein files? Inquiring minds want to know. As an historian, The Chas avoids conspiracy theories as often as possible.

How the Deep State swamp is stealing the people’s power

By John & Nisha Whitehead What on earth is happening to this country?

Don’t be fooled: The madness, mayhem

Reader’s Voice: President sending wrong message with submarines

August 5, 2025Dear editor; Sending two nuclear subs to intimidate Russia is an extremely dangerous and wrong message. Such an unwarranted ploy reminds me of the fictional movies Dr. Strangelove and fail safe where the United States and Russia are confronted with launching their nuclear weapons against one another. As

Mental health detentions, war on homelessness

By John & Nisha Whitehead The government’s war on homelessness—much like its war on terrorism, its war on drugs, its war on illegal immigration, and its war on COVID-19—is yet another Trojan Horse.

A thought: Revisiting proposed Constitutional amendments

Musings: •The Sins of Donald J. Trump (chapter nine).

Reader’s Commentary: I.C.E.: Criticized for enforcing the laws of the land

By Bela “Bill” Suhayda John Whitehead, a contributor to The Voice, and for The Rutherford Institute, is a dunderhead. Since Donald Trump’s election, Dunderhead…whoops… Whitehead, has been lampooning the U.S. as Nazi Germany. “Wayne’s World” Johnson along with Charles “The Sponge” Coddington have been attempting to outdo each other with

Wearables trap: How the government plans to track us

By John & Nisha Whitehead Bodily autonomy—the right to privacy and integrity over our own bodies—is rapidly vanishing.

From the vault, September 4, 2014 (revised): In the biblical book of Revelation (chapter 6, verses 1-8), the so-called “Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse” are described. The first wields a bow, wears a white crown, and rides a white horse; he is called “Conquest.” The second wields a great sword

Trump’s push for megaprisons could lock us all up

By John & Nisha Whitehead America is rapidly becoming a nation of prisons. Having figured out how to parlay presidential authority in foreign affairs in order to sidestep the U.S. Constitution, president Donald Trump is using his immigration enforcement powers to lock up—and lock down—the nation. Under the guise of
