Unchecked Power: Justice in Retreat—How the Supreme Court Undermined Its Own Authority

John Muryell

Washington, D.C. — The United States Supreme Court is under mounting scrutiny after a series of rulings that legal experts say have drastically expanded executive authority under President Donald Trump—while weakening constitutional protections and compromising the judiciary’s role as a check on presidential power. The controversy centers on the Court’s March 2024 decision declaring that states cannot disqualify federal candidates under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, a clause designed to bar individuals who engage in insurrection from holding public office. By overturning Colorado’s attempt to remove Trump from the presidential ballot, the justices avoided ruling on whether Trump’s actions … Continue reading Unchecked Power: Justice in Retreat—How the Supreme Court Undermined Its Own Authority

Unraveling Justice: How Pam Bondi’s DOJ Turned Rogue

John Muryell

On July 22, 2025, U.S. Attorney Alina Habba’s interim term expired. In accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 546(d), a panel of federal judges appointed her deputy, Desiree Leigh Grace, to maintain continuity in New Jersey’s U.S. Attorney’s Office. Their action was legal, routine, and statutorily authorized. Within hours, Attorney General Pam Bondi fired Grace, publicly accusing the judges of violating presidential authority under Article II and labeling them “rogue.” No successor was named. DOJ ordered prosecutions, subpoenas, and plea deals rerouted through headquarters in Washington. FBI coordination stalled. Internal directives imposed “pause protocols.” The office—among the nation’s busiest—was suddenly paralyzed. … Continue reading Unraveling Justice: How Pam Bondi’s DOJ Turned Rogue

THE CUOMO COLLAPSE: A TALE OF POWER, PRIVILEGE, AND DEFLECTION

John Muryell

In the twilight of Andrew Cuomo’s political career, the former New York governor is attempting a comeback—this time as a candidate for New York City mayor. But his campaign is less a redemption arc than a stubborn refusal to accept accountability. And if you listen to his brother, Chris Cuomo, it’s not Andrew’s fault—it’s the Democrats’. Chris, now a NewsNation host, has taken to blaming the Democratic Party for Andrew’s downfall, calling figures like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez “symbols of the party’s demise.” But this narrative is not only misleading—it’s insulting to voters who remember exactly why Andrew Cuomo resigned in disgrace. … Continue reading THE CUOMO COLLAPSE: A TALE OF POWER, PRIVILEGE, AND DEFLECTION

Public Office, Private Profit: How Trump Enriches Himself While Hollowing out America

John Muryell

Donald Trump’s second term is not a rerun—it’s a radical reinvention of power. But this time, the cost isn’t abstract policy or distant headlines. It’s your health, your voice, your vote—and your future. Every initiative in Trump’s playbook serves one purpose: to consolidate control, dismantle oversight, and extract personal gain from public trust. The betrayal is systematic, strategic, and shockingly self-enriching. Project 2025 lays out the framework. Replace civil servants with loyalists. Shutter agencies that safeguard rights. Rewrite the rules to benefit the few. Over 40% of its proposals are already in motion, and Trump’s fingerprints are everywhere. The Supreme … Continue reading Public Office, Private Profit: How Trump Enriches Himself While Hollowing out America

Opinion: Budget Cuts to NOAA and NWS Worsened Texas Tragedy

John Muryell

The floods that ripped through Central Texas were not merely destructive—they were a direct result of failed leadership. More than 100 lives lost. Twenty-seven children drowned at Camp Mystic. Entire communities were obliterated. And the most pressing question still resounds: Could this have been prevented? Yes. And we know exactly why it wasn’t. The Trump administration, empowered by a Republican-controlled Congress, deliberately slashed nearly 40% of NOAA’s budget—crippling America’s forecasting infrastructure. These cuts eliminated core technologies and resulted in the layoff of 560 National Weather Service employees, including key coordination experts in Texas. Among those gutted were Warning Coordination Meteorologists, … Continue reading Opinion: Budget Cuts to NOAA and NWS Worsened Texas Tragedy

Orchestrated Prosperity: How Power Players Shape Voter Perception

John Muryell

With the 2026 U.S. election approaching, economic trends have become more than just numbers on a spreadsheet—they have become instruments of political influence. Inflation has reached its lowest level in four years, according to reports from multiple sources, including the Bureau of Labor Statistics. While this signals stability on the surface, deeper scrutiny reveals potential coordination between political and corporate forces seeking to craft a favorable election-year narrative. We are not living in an economic miracle—we’re watching a carefully staged performance. The markets rise, headlines glow, and politicians speak of progress, but behind this glossy exterior lie suppressed truths: rising … Continue reading Orchestrated Prosperity: How Power Players Shape Voter Perception

Title: Deporting Truth: When “Real Americans” Are No Longer Safe

John Muryell

Donald Trump wants to deport Americans. Not undocumented immigrants. Not foreign nationals accused of crimes. Americans—citizens who dissent, who demand accountability, who refuse to conform. People born here. People who’ve built this nation block by block, generation after generation. In Trump’s America, if you question him, you’re expendable. If you don’t mirror his values, you’re a threat. That’s the real danger. Not a border crisis, but the slow erosion of citizenship rights and the rise of political purging disguised as policy. He’s already threatened mass deportations and detention camps. And while that may sound dystopian, so did family separation—until screaming … Continue reading Title: Deporting Truth: When “Real Americans” Are No Longer Safe

Red States, Red Flags: The Hidden Cost of Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill

John Muryell

If political self-sabotage were a competitive sport, the GOP’s latest legislative gamble—Trump’s so-called “Big Beautiful Bill”—might just win gold. Let’s be clear: this bill isn’t just a policy package. It’s a 1,000-page freight train barreling toward November 2026, loaded with Medicaid cuts, ballooning deficits, and just enough party infighting to light up every swing district in the country. And the irony? It’s Republican-led states that may suffer most from the fallout. Political theater, policy minefieldCrafted under pressure from Trump’s campaign team and rushed to the floor with minimal review, the bill is stuffed with provisions that look great in a … Continue reading Red States, Red Flags: The Hidden Cost of Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill

Opinion: Trump’s Tariffs and the GOP’s ‘Big Beautiful’ Betrayal

John Muryell

Trump didn’t rewrite the rules—he broke them. And Americans are left paying for the wreckage. In May 2025, the U.S. trade deficit increased by 11.1%, reaching $96.6 billion. Exports collapsed, inflation ticked higher, and working families took yet another economic hit. Trump’s trade war wasn’t a masterstroke—it was a misfire. But the damage doesn’t stop with him. House Republicans passed his so-called “Big Beautiful Bill,” a Frankenstein’s monster of corporate tax breaks, Medicaid cuts, and ideological stunts. It’s not policy—it’s performance art with a price tag. Even when Trump lied about a China trade deal—a deal that never existed—his own … Continue reading Opinion: Trump’s Tariffs and the GOP’s ‘Big Beautiful’ Betrayal

Mission Misguided: Trump’s Iran Strike and the High Cost of Incompetence

John Muryell

President Donald Trump’s latest act in the Oval Office is less commander-in-chief and more political theater. After launching airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities, he immediately declared the mission “one of the most successful in history” and insisted that the sites had been “completely destroyed.” But as usual, the headline didn’t match the intelligence—or the outcome. Even before the first missile hit Iranian soil, his own Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, had told Congress that Iran was not rebuilding its nuclear weapons program. Trump’s response? “She’s wrong.” That’s it. No facts, no counter-briefing—just presidential ego steamrolling professional expertise. And once … Continue reading Mission Misguided: Trump’s Iran Strike and the High Cost of Incompetence
