American Perspective with Rick Thomas

Why is that?

"It's a tough time to be a 'conspiracy theorist.' We're basically just down to flat earth and dragons. Everything else turned out to be real."

That line is not a stretch. For years the fastest way to shut someone up was to hang that label on them.

Ask about a laptop, a lab, a border, or a boy in a girls' locker room and you were treated like you believed in dragons.

October 14, 2020, the New York Post published the Hunter Biden laptop story. Five days later, 51 former intelligence officials signed a letter saying it had the "classic earmarks of a Russian information operation." Social media buried it. The paper was right. The letter was a smear.

COVID from a lab was called a racist conspiracy. Then the FBI and the Department of Energy put the lab-leak theory in official assessments.

People who said inflation was not "transitory" were lectured. Parents who said a man is not a woman were called a threat to the kids.

The pattern was the same every time.

First they mock you. Then they punish you. Then the story shows up in the same papers that called you crazy, written like they discovered it.

Equal application of the law includes equal application of the truth. You do not get to lie about the evidence and then keep the referee whistle.

Limited government depends on people being allowed to notice what is in front of them.

They did not lose the argument because the public got too much "disinformation."

They lost it because the public kept receipts.

Paxton or the Christian that says he Hates Christianity, Hates Guns and Loves Taxes.

This cartoon is actually hilarious. It is also concerning.

A little girl asks her mom what liberalism is. Mom says, sweetheart, it is an undiagnosed mental disorder.

Look around. The left is getting more insane by the day. They have lost their minds over President Trump. They scream at every turn. They treat a lost election like a medical emergency and a riot like a teachable moment. Anything resembling common sense left the room years ago.

Everything now runs through the race filter. White shaming is treated like a civic duty. DEI threw out excellence in schools, the military, and hiring and replaced it with checkboxes. They ignore biology. They still cannot define a woman. Then the same people scream follow the science on climate change.

They pushed abortion all the way to birth. On August 10, 2026, Governor Maura Healey signed a Massachusetts law that stripped the 24-week limit. After 24 weeks an abortion now rests on a doctor's professional judgment. The four old exceptions are gone. The House passed it 119 to 33.

Now they have a new martyr. Lindsay Clancy strangled her three young children in Duxbury, Massachusetts, on January 24, 2023. Cora was 5. Dawson was 3. Callan was 8 months old. A judge declared a mistrial on September 4, 2026. A GoFundMe for her parents passed $1.1 million. The three children became a footnote.

Three dead children. A political movement looking for a saint.

Limited government only works if people can still see what is in front of them.
Equal application of the law means a murdered child is a murdered child.

A party that cannot say a woman is a woman, cannot say a boy is a boy, and cannot say strangling three kids is evil has let go of reality.

It is pure insanity.

This cartoon is actually hilarious. It is also true.

How many Democrats does it take to fix a problem? Nobody knows. It has never happened.

Look at this century. They did not fix the problems they ran on. They made them worse.

They raised taxes and spent like the money was free. Families paid more for groceries, gas, rent, and insurance.

They grew a bloated bureaucracy and piled on oppressive regulations. In 2024 Washington piled on about $1.4 trillion in new regulatory costs. Working people got the bill.

They pushed DEI and CRT into schools and agencies. That did not unite anybody. It sorted people by group and called it progress. None of that taught a kid to read.

They sold Obamacare as affordable. In 2026 marketplace premiums jumped about 30 percent. What families actually paid went from $113 a month to $178.

They chanted defund the police. Minneapolis homicides jumped from 48 in 2019 to 97 in 2021 after the city council started draining the department. Neighborhoods paid for that experiment in blood.

Then they told parents there are sixty six genders. Boys in girls sports. Parents treated like bigots for noticing biology.

Energy was next. On day one President Biden killed the Keystone XL permit and froze new oil and gas leases on public land. That is how you cripple energy production and then act surprised when people cannot afford to drive to work.

Limited government is not a slogan. It is the only way a free people stay free. Equal application of the law means the same rules for everyone. They chose the opposite.

If a party never fixes the problem, the honest answer is they were never trying to.

Common sense versus nonsense. That is not a slogan. That is the choice in November.

Look at where we have been. The left gets loonier by the day. It is nearly impossible to keep up.

Everything runs through a race prism. DEI threw out excellence. They pushed abortion to birth. On August 10 Governor Maura Healey signed a Massachusetts law that stripped the 24-week limit. After 24 weeks a doctor’s professional judgment is enough.

Climate hysteria on one side of the mouth. Follow the science, they say. On the other side they ignore biology. Endless genders. A boy is a girl if he says so.
No borders. Globalization first, country second. No big corporations, they shout, then they trust pharma and the food companies to tell you what to eat and what to inject.

They call Israel’s war a genocide in Gaza and treat Hamas like a campus club. They want no Electoral College and no borders. The list keeps growing. Common sense cannot find a seat.

If Republicans stay home and Democrats flip both chambers, we do not get a timeout. We get Biden-era progressive policy on steroids. The same open border. The same race filter. The same war on energy and on girls sports. The same lecture about norms from people who burned the norms.

The Constitution is We the People. Not We the Program. Limited government and equal application of the law are the guardrails. Throw them away and the nonsense writes the rules.

There is no president on this ballot. That is how midterms work. Sit on the couch and you hand both houses to the people who spent four years proving they cannot run a border, a school, or a city.

Don’t throw it away.

Bill Maher: “[President Trump] said communism a million times [at the RNC in Dallas]. I don't blame him. I proved it here when I, just quoting them, just the quotes, no editorializing. It is communism. When you say we want to take over the means of production, they have quotes saying elect more communists, communism this, communism that, essential industries.”
