I do not comment on the news and politics very often because genuine research and writing on those topics is being done. Hardly anyone is dealing with the Chief Article and the Means of Grace.
Every American citizen has an obligation to know the US Constitution and what it means. A reporter asked about the issues and I said, Article IV, Section 4 of the Constitution. I also visited the Congressman's office and talked to the staff member.

I read a lot of news sources but laugh at the TV puppet shows. They rely on print journalism, so their material is already second-hand and suspect. The amount covered in a TV broadcast is slight and even that is slanted toward the numbers they value. A non-journalist often makes the news happen - The Drudge Report. He reports 10 billion views in the last year. Yes, b-b-b-billion.
Free Republic is the best news discussion website because the Left-wing sources are linked and discussed. Many participants are experts in their fields, unlike Steadfast Lutherans and SpenerQuest.
Conservative Treehouse has detailed analysis about what is happening, and who is connected to whom. He is the Dilbert writer, too. I was struck by his intuition about leadership, during the election.
The American Spectator has been good at times, but is more likely to provoke a W-H-A-T? response because of truly awful essays. The Spectator led on the Arkansas State Troopers and Clinton, years ago.
The American Thinker has quite a few articles every day. I find some gems there from time to time.
Jack Cashill tends to take on neglected topics, showing independence and great research. However, his columns are too short. However, for the rare news analysis, not going with the pack, he is unusual.
ChurchMouse is in Britain; he is one of the few religious bloggers I respect. By the way - if you want American news stories, read the British press. They are not curled up in the laps of politicians. Recently CM linked to a new source that I knew nothing about. Look up his Brendan Dilley posts for some behind-the-scenes reporting.
Reading extensively is the only way to get a grasp of what is happening in this Age of Apostasy. Is child trafficking really a world-wide crime of the wealthy elite? I know from many sources that it is, from Hillsong and the Australian Cardinal to Jimmy'll Fixit and Haiti. Those who do not know the basics are condemned to spend their lives in cognitive dissonance, not believing the truth because the facts are so shocking.
It is foolish to rely on one source, because there are so many agendas. Suppressing the news is very popular. One reader responded to this one sentence post.
Peter Hitchens - News is what somebody, somewhere, wants suppressed.
Our job as American voters is to find that news.
