Before we get into this segment of America’s Third Watch, I want to touch on the epidemic of denial that is metastisizing in the United States when it comes to politics. It’s actually quite serious.
It wasn’t too long ago that the uninformed among us – those who opined about politics without knowing the facts on any given matter; those who based their opinions on emotions rather than evidence, truth, and fact – were but a scant few. They were the outliers, the ones you could almost rest assured would find themselves too busy to vote on Election Day.
Those days are gone. Long gone.
With the subverting of truth on almost all social media platforms and the mainstream media complex’s need to whore itself out through those platforms for risk of dying off, truth and fact have given way to emotion, fearmongering, and outright lies for a great many people who do vote.
A case in point. After posting one of my latest pieces, Is The Democrat Party Now The Party Of War, Or Is Biden Wagging The Dog?, on a popular social media platform, one reader responded:
“Lies lies lies is all I see . Biden is a clear winner. No matter he isn't fixing to go to Prison like the Natzi German freedom hater.”
Aside from awful punctuation and grammar – and don’t get me started on the spelling, it is beyond obvious that facts and truth didn’t matter to this commenter. The only thing that mattered was his emotions. Each point made in the piece was notated and sourced from scholarly and well-documented sources, but he either failed to examine the facts or just couldn’t be bothered to consume accurate information that proved him wrong about what he wanted the truth to be.
This is the kind of intellectual ignorance that directly threatens the continuation of our Constitutional Republic. When voters are so fickle that they insist on ignoring the facts in deference to their emotions, it opens the door for manipulators to manipulate, deceive, and capitalize on that deception purely for the acquisition of power and control.
This is the 39% of the electorate that would vote for a fencepost rather than admit that all of the smear and exaggeration the media and political opponents are throwing at Donald Trump are just that: smear and exaggeration. They want Trump to be the villain because their propaganda outlets have drilled that concept into their heads, the facts, evidence, and truth be damned.
We stand at this point in time because the manipulators and opportunistic charlatans of the political class have fed us the wholly disingenuous idea that it is rude to talk about politics or religion with family, friends, colleagues, and acquaintances. It’s not rude, it’s how we understand that we have more in common than in difference, and they hate that. It’s how knowledge gets disseminated.
Engage in productive conversation; in the exchange of thoughts, information, and ideas. That’s how our Republic was born. It wasn’t born because we didn’t discuss politics, and it certainly wasn’t born because we didn’t acknowledge a Natural Law Entity higher than ourselves. Life is ensconced in a constant battle between good and evil, whether the issue is personal or public. When truth, evidence, and fact are rendered irrelevant to the discussion of good and evil, then the Republic is lost, and with the loss of our Republic, freedom is but a word in a history book.
Talk to your friends, family, neighbors, and colleagues – those you meet socially – about politics and religion. You don’t have to be a raging asshole about it. Be calm, and know what you are talking about by arming yourself with facts and points of evidence. Speak the truth, but don’t be afraid to admit when you are wrong. But talk…productively engage with your fellow Americans. It’s how we preserve the Republic.

Before we delve into this segment of America’s Third Watch, I feel compelled to address the significant impact on our Constitution that unfolded in New York with the guilty verdict of Donald Trump.
Regardless of your personal stance on Trump, it is crucial to recognize that the integrity of our justice system is paramount. When it is compromised to the extent that it undermines our Constitution, the freedoms of all Americans are at stake.
This is what happened in Merchan’s courtroom on May 30th, 2024: a Constitution-damaging travesty of justice led by a corrupt and partisan temporarily appointed judge, a Soros-funded district attorney, and 12 hyper-partisan jury members.
Here is a portion of what Alan Dershowitz, constitutional law professor emeritus to Harvard Law – by no means a conservative, had to say about the entirety of the proceedings:
I get into this more deeply in my current substack, We Are Now A Nation Of Men, Not Of Laws. I also delve a bit more into this issue in the following America’s Third Watch segment.
Bottom Line. If Republicans in elected office don’t grow a pair of collective balls and start pushing back more viciously than the neo-fascist progressives have pushed since the tyrannical reigns of Woodrow Wilson and FDR then they don’t deserve to hold office.
Additionally, if this case isn’t fast-tracked to the US Supreme Court so that this blatant election interference is subverted – or if the High Court refuses to hear the case because of institutional cowardice, then we are on the final leg of transforming the United States of America into a banana republic.
Barack Obama and his Marxist, neo-fascist pals will have won.

Before we get to the politics of the day, I want to mention the difference between Memorial Day and Veteran’s Day, for they are two separate commemorations.
Veterans' Day is a day to thank those who have served in the UD Armed Forces for their service. These are the people who actually made it home and are alive to thank.
Memorial Day is a day to remember and pay tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service of our country. It honors all military members who have died while serving in the US armed forces in current or previous wars.
The origins of Memorial Day—originally called “Decoration Day”—can be traced back to local observances for soldiers with neglected gravesites during the Civil War. One of the first Decoration Days was held in Columbus, Mississippi, on April 25, 1866, when women decorated the graves of Confederate soldiers who perished in the battle at Shiloh. They decorated them with flowers.
On May 5, 1868, three years after the end of the Civil War, the tradition of placing flowers on veterans’ graves continued with the establishment of Decoration Day by an organization of Union veterans, the Grand Army of the Republic.
The first large-scale observance at Arlington National Cemetary – a land donation by Robert E. Lee’s family – was held on May 30, 1873, with General Ulysses S. Grant presiding.
Until World War I, only Civil War soldiers were honored on this holiday. Now, all Americans who’ve served – and gave the ultimate price – are observed.
It is much more than a day off from work, although that is what it has morphed into for most Americans. It is a day to remember that freedom is not free; that it comes at a price, and that price is paid in blood and sacrifice, both for those commemorated and their families.
The true essence of Memorial Day is not who has the best barbecue or which community has the best fireworks. It is remembering and honoring those who gave their lives in service to our nation.

I want to share something with you that I wrote for a symposium promotion back in 2012. It is a concept created years before when I was executive director at BasicsProject.org, a 501c3 education and research organization focused on educating on the threats of Islamofascism and the American Fifth Column and how those threats multiply when the population exists constitutionally illiterate.
Back then, it was a projection of what could happen. Today, we are witnessing this in real-time:
“The moment is fast approaching. The convergence of apathy and evil – oblivion and conquest – is soon upon us.
“Three critical issues directly related to our nation's survival are coming together to present one of the greatest challenges the United States will ever face if, in fact, it survives.
“Externally, the threat comes in the form of a violent and intolerant theocratic ideology that quests to rule the world, expunging or making subservient all other religious and moral dogmas known to man. In its wake, it leaves indiscriminate death by the millions, using the innocent and the ignorant to facilitate its conquest through fear and intimidation.
“For those who are conquered – for those who survive – an all-encompassing existence of servitude and oppression.
“Internally, forces antithetical to the American philosophy – to our true Judeo-Christian roots – are using our own system of government and our electoral process to move our nation incrementally away from its charter as a constitutional republic, fundamentally transforming the United States of America from a constitutional republic to a democracy (of which our Founders and Framers warned), then to democratic socialism and to the totalitarian elitism of Marxism.
“This ‘American Fifth Column’ infects our land with a Marxist neo-fascistic ideological cancer, killing liberty and freedom in its path.
“Yet, these threats are not new to our country. We have faced them down before. We have, in the past, stared into the violent and deceptive eyes of evil and come out stronger for the experience.
“So, why are these forces so potent today? What makes this moment in time so different than in the past?
“Simple. Today, ‘We the People’ are complicit in our own demise.
“Our nation has become so constitutionally illiterate – so oblivious to the worth and value of our God-given rights, bestowed by our Creator as inalienable and enshrined in our Charters of Freedom – that we willingly abdicate them, casting them aside as if a burden and facilitating the potency of the evils that confront our very existence.
“We the People – through apathy, through ignorance – have created our own destiny. We have facilitated ‘The Perfect Storm.’”
Please help us spread the truth by sharing this with like-minded family & friends.

Twelve years later, this prognostication is a reality. The Perfect Storm is upon us.
Neo-Marxist protesters who took to the streets championing the fraudulent Black Lives Matter movement are now “occupying” campuses in support of the pro-Hamasterrorists in Gaza, doing so violently as in a well-funded and coordinated manner.
Internal and external forces that pose serious threats both to our nation and the free world have converged to fight against the very idea of freedom and Americanism.
Truly, we are witnessing – in real-time – “The Perfect Storm” and if we don’t correct course in a dramatic way these forces have the potential to destroy our Republic and render the idea of free societies of self-governance nothing more than a memory of what could have been.
Something to think about as you consider your choices this November.

Before we get to this morning’s segment on America’s Third Watch, I wanted to touch on the subject of this Sunday’s piece titled, “A Radical Marxist-Progressive Takes The Helm At NPR.”
Katherine Maher is the new CEO at National Public Radio. She is being excoriated over her past tweets that expose her as an uber-radical Leftist. Further, one of her first official acts was to punish a whistleblower who exposed the almost total Left-wing bias at NPR, castigating him so profusely that he resigned after being suspended without pay.
Here is a short clip that examples her Marxist-Progressive ideology. In it she advances a level of moral relativism on the subject of “truth” that should find you extremely uncomfortable.
If you subscribe to UndergroundUSA.com you will receive the Sunday article in your email inbox or Substack app. If you do not subscribe, please stop by and do so. It’s free and offers the option of supporting our work through a paid subscription as well.
Maher is a quintessential example of what is wrong with the mainstream media; how it has become a propaganda machine for the Marxist-based Woke Left. Congress should move to defund – or at least suspend funding for NPR until its journalistic and editorial staffs are balanced in their ideologies and reflective of the whole of the American people.
Today, it most certainly is not.

Before we get to this morning’s segment on America’s Third Watch, I want to comment on the self-righteous virtue-signaling of the pro-Palestinian protesters here in the United States and in Europe.
It was reported this morning that pro-Palestinian (read: pro-Hamas) protesters blocked both the Golden Gate Bridge in California and the Kennedy Expressway feeder to O’Hare Airport in Chicago, the latter causing people to miss their flights. If you’ve ever missed a flight you know how hard it is to reschedule and that it most often costs you extra to get seated on another flight.
The point I am trying to make is this. No one affected by the blocking of traffic or the blocking of building access – the blocking of anything, whether it’s pro-Palestinian protesters, BLM protesters, or any other cause de jour protesters, is sympathetic to the protesters' cause. The actions of these protesters, regardless of their cause, only serve to alienate and antagonize the very people they are trying to win over.
Help us disseminate fact-based information by sharing with like-minded people

In fact, when someone trying to make a flight, get to work, or walk into a building is obstructed by these types of protests, it creates a wave of anger—not in support of the cause being protested but towards the protesters themselves. People see these obstructive displays as selfish displays of self-righteous virtue signaling that telegraph the protesters' sense of elevated importance over everyone else.
How does making someone miss a flight benefit the Palestinian people? How does making someone late for work or a doctor’s appointment – now does impeding an ambulance’s emergency run to a hospital or a fire engine’s run to a fire or a police response to a deadly situation make people feel sympathetic to a protester’s cause? It doesn’t. It foments anger toward the protester and – through that – creates indifference and resentment toward the cause itself.
Taking to the streets in protest in the United States and the free nations of the world has become an exercise in pious pseudo-moralistic posturing that achieves very little if anything.
If protesters are sincere about advancing support for their causes, they have to engage the population with information, education, and fact-based argument, not actions that literally turn the population against them…like blocking streets, bridges, and business entryways. The people who do that, well, they are just self-important, juvenile, virtue-signaling a******s.
