- by Michael Phillips - Leave a Comment

Behind the sea of homemade signs stand some of the wealthiest figures in American politics: Soros, Wyss, Walton, and the Arabella network. Their multimillion-dollar grants bankroll the same “grassroots” protests that claim to fight billionaire influence. It’s a paradox that defines our political age—movements against power, powered by power itself.

The Hidden Pipeline: How Federal Dollars Flow to Illegal Immigrants Through States and Nonprofits

- by Michael Phillips - Leave a Comment

Despite federal laws designed to restrict illegal immigrants from receiving benefits, loopholes allow billions in taxpayer dollars to flow indirectly to them through various programs like Emergency Medicaid, public health initiatives, and education funding.

Liz Walsh’s Ugly Disrespect: Glorifying Hate While Mocking Mourning

- by Michael Phillips - Leave a Comment

Howard County Council Chair Liz Walsh turned national mourning into partisan theater. By raising the flag against a presidential order honoring Charlie Kirk—and by cherry-picking his words to smear him even in death—Walsh glorified division and disrespected the families of 9/11 and Kirk alike. Maryland deserves leaders who unite, not activists who mock and politicize tragedy.
