The Torch Report

Buckle up. Okay friends, as you know (if you’ve been following along), yesterday I attended a Freedom Caucus forum that addressed the issues of “who makes the rules” and dove into the many wonky procedural issues that are being used to thwart the will of the American people. For example, the “Suspension Rule” allows congressional leadership to suspend the rules and cast a vote on legislation that...

Facts are funny. Washington D.C. is our nation’s capitol. That is a simple irrefutable fact, right? According to the most recent census , in 2021 the District of Columbia had a population of approximately 670,000 people—making it the 23rd largest city in the U.S., just slightly smaller than Seattle and slightly larger than Portland, Oregon: One might think, in theory, that the capitol of our natio...

It’s scary. The thought that any government, anywhere, might actually be targeting the most loyal, passionate, service oriented men and women—who willingly volunteered to sacrifice their lives to protect the freedom of perfect strangers—that the government would be targeting them for discrimination, intimidation, and even incarceration, is utterly despicable. More than that, it’s scary. It’s scary...

Just the facts Jack. While most of the media is still rolling on the floor pissing all over themselves—either in exaltation or lamentation, depending on party preference—there are still some people trying to help Americans understand what really happened this midterm election, but they are few and far between. Let me just cut to the chase: This was not a free and fair election. It was an election...

***sorry I’m late today… there was a power outage this morning*** OUCH. By now I’m sure you’ve heard, the Big Red Wave was little more than a ripple. It was really just another smack in the face. Did you really not see that coming? Of all the despicable swirling spin, of all the takes and takeaways, there was one article, one voice that most closely expresses how I feel. It was written by Jim Hoft...

It’s happening. Today is election day. Americans all across the country are waiting with baited breath to see what the future holds. Will the Republicans take control of Congress? Will the Democrats hold the Senate? Will American democracy survive? Will the American public accept the elections? Will all hell break loose? Will chaos ensue? Will there be civil unrest? Will there be riots and violenc...

The saga continues. The rapid spread of an exotic sexually transmitted disease—the dreaded monkeypox virus—has had world health officials scrambling and scratching their collective heads for months. Monkeypox is usually only transmitted via close contact and has historically been mostly isolated to parts of Africa—so how, and why, has this virus suddenly been spreading all around the world in such...

(This is the second in a two part series on the Big Lie. Part one is linked below.) There is something there. Yesterday’s Torch Report 233 noted that the rhetoric surrounding the strange events at the Pelosi house—that a bus dwelling hammer wielding hippie was actually a “lone right-wing extremist”—seemed to somehow be connected to a “scholar” named Dr. Richard Forno. The language in multiple arti...

It’s ridiculous. Preposterous. Ludicrous. Absurd. How could anyone believe such things? Do you ever find yourself feeling that way? I know I have and often do, as I did this morning when I read a headline suggesting that David DePape—the now infamous underwear assailant—is a mentally unstable illegal immigrant who might just get deported after his trial. Trivial tripe. Why anyone cares is beyond m...

Let’s dig deeper. Yesterday I tossed out some hypothetical coding—two if-then statements—that would effectively censor free speech without triggering a massive revolt against censoring free speech. The point was to demonstrate how easy it would be to create an algorithm that would facilitate “ effective and rapid removal” of online content: IF the content is counter narrative, THEN reduce it’s rea...

As I was saying… The threat of AI-enhanced global censorship is the biggest issue that is not being talked about. While everyone is still fretting over who opened the door when the police arrived to find Paul Pelosi wrestling over a hammer with a psychotic hippie (who may or may not have been in his underwear), America’s own ex-officiale Ministry of Truth has been busy convening behind closed door...

Choices abound. Deciding where to allot our precious time and energy can lead to difficult choices. From practical daily decisions about how to get stuff done, to broader considerations regarding what’s happening in the world at large, there is only so much we can take into consideration. So, what matters most? Do we talk about the strange circumstances surrounding the attack on Paul Pelosi? Do we...

Not a joke. What’s more important: * The husband of a prominent politician being bludgeoned with a hammer? * The mainstream media running a little white lie just days before the elections? When it comes to raw emotional appeal, there’s really no contest. Violent crimes appeal to a rudimentary urge that compels our curiosity to explore the gore. What happened? Why did it happen? Who did it? What’s...

Smile, you’re on camera! According to two Harvard astronomers, there are some 4,000,000,000,000,000,000 alien spacecraft that may be observing us. That’s 4 quintillion in the common vernacular. So, maybe starting up the U.S. Space Force wasn’t a bad idea after all, eh? All silliness aside, as every peasant knows, anyone who works at Harvard is a genius—and even the snarks over at the Grunge unders...

Something’s up. For the last two weeks I’ve had a nagging sense that there’s something else going on. The media has been reduced to a simmer, just barely bubbling with enough spoon-fed drivel to keep the various narratives alive. Russia is evil. Biden is strong. The economy is fine. The midterms are a toss up. They’re about to catch Trump. You know the drill. But hey, at least events in the U.K. h...

It was a silly question. Of course AI has been weaponized. On the heels of yesterday’s inquiry into the implications of weaponized artificial intelligence, today we find this article: Should Killer AI Robots Be Banned? Yet another silly question. The focus of that article is on using AI robots in the theater of war—something that the international policy setters have been debating for years. Their...

This is it. There is a lot happening in the headlines this morning, but none of it, in my mind, is what really matters most. Still, before we can see through the smoke and mirrors, we must take a look at the smoke and mirrors. Here’s the run down: * There are conflicting claims about an upcoming “dirty bomb” false-flag event: * Russia Warns Of 'Dirty Bomb' False Flag Plot In Flurry Of Rare Calls T...

Alrighty then. You know that feeling when someone says something you were just trying to say, but they say it even better? That was the feeling I had when I saw this article: What really just happened in the UK was a globalist coup. According to Nigel Farage , prominent British conservative, former member of the European Parliament, leader of the UK Independent Party, and all around Euro-skeptic:...

Comfy? Push a little, push a lot, push until they squawk… then stop. The result is adaptation . People adapt to the “new normal” the very same way my chickens recently adapted to their new pen. They just got used to it. Life goes on. What’s the big deal? Global famine? Economic collapse? Political corruption? You should stop complaining. It’s disturbing. It’s interrupting my peace and stability. N...

Game on. U.S. health officials are once again warning Americans of an upcoming winter surge in covid cases—which Dr. Fauci claims will be driven by a new, more dangerous variant. Haven’t we heard this story before? Meanwhile, as Japan grapples with the fallout from its 7th wave of covid, government officials are scrambling to extract lessons that might prevent the worse case scenario of the upcomi...

Think strategy. There is something going on behind the scenes. It’s too quiet. What are they up to? Those were the thoughts that went through my mind as I looked through the headlines this morning. More smoke and mirrors. More staged drama. More propaganda and intentional distractions. What’s really going on here? This story caught my eye: Apparently, children joining with the hordes of angry wome...

Many implications. In Ep. 179 - Lucifer, AI, & the Christian Insurrection we explored the reasons behind the Left’s current attempts to label Christians as violent extremists, pointing out Karl Marx’s assertion that Communism begins with atheism and the fact that the progressive playbook Rules for Radicals was dedicated to Lucifer. This is not conjecture. These are verifiable, historical facts—fac...

Predictable patterns are at play. Yesterday, The People's Convoy encountered police resistance, angry protesters, and a hostile press as they leaned into the headwinds and attempted to exercise their constitutional rights in Washington D.C. Following along with the truckers live dash cam made it a heart thumping experience. At one point a man on a motorcycle cut in front of a big rig, slammed on t...

And just like that, lives are turned to dust. Today we wake up to the shocking news that the latest and greatest ISIS leader -- Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Qurayshi, his wife and his innocent children --  got blown up in a three-story compound somewhere in Syria. The Biden administration believes this will be a big blow to ISIS. I believe they are wrong. Why? Because they are fighting against ideas...
