America at a Crossroads: What Are You Choosing in This Moment? | 5-4-26

by | May 4, 2026 | News & Politics

Executive Summary

This is the week our grandchildren will ask us about. The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 to effectively end racial gerrymandering of congressional districts — and the same loud voices on cable told us civil rights had been rolled back to pre-1964. They lied. The court simply held that the Equal Protection Clause means what it says: government cannot sort us into racial spoils systems by the color of our skin. Justice Alito’s 36-page opinion noted what most Americans already know — voter ID is supported by 85% of white Americans, 82% of Latinos, and 76% of Black Americans. This is not controversial. It is constitutional.

In the same week, Tulsi Gabbard’s declassification confirmed what some of us have been saying for nine years — Russiagate was a fraud on the American people, a coverup of Crossfire Hurricane. They knew the dossier was Hillary’s product. They knew Brennan, Clapper, and Obama remanufactured it into an Intelligence Community Assessment. Gavin Wilde was identified as Witness 2 in the Ukraine impeachment — same Carnegie Institution as Eric Ciaramella. James Comey, in a 2003 New York Magazine interview, admitted he had moved “from communist to whatever I am now.” John Brennan voted Communist Party. Both ran our top intelligence agencies under Obama.

The Justice Department’s Office of Public Integrity — the career staff that historically kept prosecutions of lawmakers from going political — was quietly dismantled. The Biden FDA rule allowing telehealth abortion-pills-by-mail without doctor supervision was blocked by a federal appeals court. The Spirit Airlines collapse — 17,000 jobs lost, 30 regional airports cut — traced directly back to Pete Buttigieg and Elizabeth Warren tanking the $3.8 billion JetBlue merger. And the Kuang v. United States ruling may now entitle tens of millions of taxpayers to refunds of IRS penalties charged during the COVID disaster period — but you must act by July 10, 2026.

We the People are at a crossroads. Scroll to the bottom for Key Takeaways.

The Supreme Court Did Not End Civil Rights — It Restored Equal Protection

We watched the same playbook all weekend. Every cable network, every blue-check on social media, every panel on The View — civil rights is over, Black America is heading back to Jim Crow, the racists won. None of it was true.

The 6-3 majority did one thing — it held that drawing congressional districts on the basis of skin color violates the Equal Protection Clause. That is not radical. That is the founding promise.

Tom Fitton at Judicial Watch put it the way I feel it: this decision affirms that the U.S. Constitution requires the government to be color blind in its decision-making. That allowing race to play any part in government decision-making represents a departure from the constitutional rule that applies in almost every other context — equal protection.

The activist class invented “BIPOC” — lumping together people of vastly different histories, backgrounds, and goals as if Indian Americans, Native Americans, and Black Americans share a single political identity. They drew congressional maps around it. The court said no.

Then we watched Texas Democrats flee the state to deny Republicans the quorum needed to draw maps that were not based on race. Barack Obama denounced it as a “power grab.” The same Barack Obama whose Department of Education and Eric Holder’s DOJ Civil Rights Division took over the entire voting-rights apparatus from inside the federal bureaucracy.

Voter ID polls at 85% white, 82% Latino, 76% Black. The vast majority of Americans agree with Nicki Minaj that you should have a photo ID to be able to vote. This is not controversial by party. It is not controversial by race.

Russiagate Was a Fraud on the American People

This is the part nobody wants to admit they fell for. Crossfire Hurricane was 100% a coverup. They knew Donald Trump had no connections to Russia. They knew the dossier was created by Hillary and remanufactured into an ICA by Brennan, Clapper, and Obama. The two-year Mueller-Weissmann investigation gave Rachel Maddow her nightly talking points — and afterward, the architects destroyed the evidence.

Now we know more. Tulsi Gabbard’s declassification identifies Gavin Wilde as Witness 2 — the second anonymous Ukraine-impeachment whistleblower alongside Eric Ciaramella. Both worked on the 2016 ICA assessment that Obama directed his team to write using Hillary Clinton’s Steele-dossier work product. Both now sit at the Carnegie Institution. The same think tank.

Then there is James Comey. In a 2003 New York Magazine interview, he admitted he had been a communist before voting for Jimmy Carter in 1980. “I’d moved from communist to whatever I am now.” John Brennan voted Communist Party. Under Barack Obama, the CIA director and the FBI director both had documented histories of immersion into communism. That is not partisan framing. That is documentary record.

The Comey indictment is about more than one Instagram post. There is plenty of evidence — covert messages, named patterns, things Comey himself joked about — going back to 2015, that touch on seditious conspiracy and grand conspiracy.

The FBI Under Wray and the J6 Dragnet

Chris Wray took the FBI Comey weaponized and turned it into something worse. Under his watch, 274 plainclothes Trump-gear-wearing FBI agents were embedded in the January 6 crowd. We don’t know where they were. We don’t know if they were involved in breaching the Capitol. We do know Metropolitan Police and Capitol Police opened the doors and walked patriots in, making them feel they were doing nothing wrong on purpose.

Thousands of Americans had their doors kicked in at 6 a.m. in front of their children and neighbors. They lost their jobs. They were put on lists. The same Wray FBI used Southern Poverty Law Center talking points to label PTA meetings, Catholic churches, Moms for America, and Turning Point as domestic-terror threats.

Susan Rice ran Pillar One of the Biden domestic-policy strategy — an all-of-government, unconstitutional voting push, an all-of-government CRT/DEI push, and an all-of-government domestic-terrorism countering strategy built on a public-private partnership with NGOs and corporations funding it. The SPLC was the analysis group. The Biden administration and Google worked hand-in-hand with the SPLC’s hate map that smeared 1,400 conservative groups.

And while the truth was breaking, the Office of Public Integrity at DOJ was gutted — the career professionals who historically kept prosecutions of lawmakers from being political.

Buttigieg, Warren, and the Spirit Airlines Collapse

This one hits home. My friend Karen — a 12-year Spirit flight attendant — was told out of nowhere she has no job. 17,000 jobs gone. 30 regional airports lost service overnight.

Pete Buttigieg — the Transportation Secretary who took the first eight months of his term as paternity leave — and Elizabeth Warren, who never met a letter she didn’t want to write, sowed the seeds of Spirit’s collapse when the Biden DOJ killed the $3.8 billion JetBlue merger as a “monopoly.” Sean Duffy, the actually able transportation secretary now in the role, named them by name. JetBlue would have given Spirit the resiliency to survive. Warren cheered Biden afterward — the autopen-mafia administration that ran the country from 2020 to 2024 — for the “win for America.”

Working-class travelers and 17,000 employees paid for that win.

The IRS Refund Most Americans Don’t Know About

While we were watching cable lie about civil rights, the National Taxpayer Advocate quietly issued a notice that tens of millions of Americans may be owed refunds of IRS penalties and interest charged during the COVID disaster period — January 20, 2020 through July 10, 2023. The Kuang v. United States ruling may allow refunds of late-filing penalties, late-payment penalties, estimated-tax penalties, and interest charged during a period when most of us were forced out of work.

We the People Are the Answer

The future of this country is in your hands — every individual. Forget Republican and Democrat. It’s not real. It’s all fake. It’s about raising money to keep the status quo going and to keep the massive money-laundering operation known as the U.S. government continuing down a path that is destructive to all of us.

Find friends who love this country. Look at your kids, your grandkids, your nieces and nephews — and what is happening to them in their schools. This is no longer something you can wait out. The grandparents are finally standing up. Join them. Local action is no longer a request — it is a must.

Frequently Asked Questions

Did the Supreme Court actually roll back voting rights? No. The 6-3 ruling prohibited the use of racial preference to draw majority-minority congressional districts — meaning government can no longer sort voters by skin color. Voting Rights Act protections against actual discrimination remain. The talking heads on The View are lying about it.

If Comey was a self-described communist, why did everyone keep saying he was a lifelong Republican? Because the people who told you that benefited from you believing it. Comey said it himself in a 2003 New York Magazine interview — “I’d moved from communist to whatever I am now.” Brennan voted Communist Party. The “Republican Comey” narrative was a useful fiction for the architects of Crossfire Hurricane.

Is the Russiagate declassification really new information, or are we relitigating old news? It is new — and it is documented. Tulsi Gabbard’s declassification identifies Gavin Wilde as Witness 2 in the 2020 Ukraine impeachment and as a co-author of the 2016 ICA assessment. Same Carnegie Institution as Ciaramella. The architects are now named.

How do I actually check if I’m owed an IRS refund from the COVID period? Sign in at IRS.gov with your ID.me account. Go to Tax Records, Get Transcript, Account Transcript. Download 2020 through 2023. If you see failure-to-file, failure-to-pay, estimated-tax penalty, or interest charged with a dollar amount, you may be eligible. Act by July 10, 2026.

Why does the Office of Public Integrity at DOJ matter to anyone who isn’t a Republican? Because someday there will be another Democratic president, and there will be investigations of Republican officeholders. The career staff at OPI historically kept prosecutions of lawmakers from being political. Without them, every prosecution becomes a partisan weapon. The party in power today will be sorry tomorrow.
