Welcome back to The Cary Harrison Files, where reason’s still in hiding and truth’s been subpoenaed so many times it now answers to an alias. Today’s episode: a crime so vast, so bureaucratically polite, that it almost passes as democracy.

You’re told Washington “won.” Not because of a shining beacon of support from the citizenry, but because millions of ballots—legal, living, breathing, voting human ballots—were tossed in the elect...

Today, we ask the question: What does it take to make the Cult of Washington finally eat its own? Turns out, it might just be a name scratched onto a flight log bound for Epstein Island. Now, before you start thinking this is just another case of elite rot—and it is—let’s remember the foundation. Russiagate. The original Cold War cosplay revival. A slow-motion car crash in which Russian oligarchs, kompromat artists, and wannabe Bon...

My family arrived (Mayflower crashed into Cape Cod in 1620 - mother’s side) and settled on my father’s side - Maryland 1645. Subjects of the king; property of the Crown – but here to help develop and colonize for mother England. My ancestors were among the first families, signatories of the Mayflower Compact, and later framers of the constitution.

CARY HARRISON: So here we are again!Last week, the DNC was forced to hold their first executive meeting in 5 months. You'd think they’d rally the troops, storm the gates, do something. But instead? Three hours of absolutely nothing—live from a beige room in Little Rock, Arkansas. BUT WHY? There's a reason they do nothing, have done nothing and are not seemingly planning on doing anything. It makes sense now, but it's not what you...

CARY HARRISON: So here we are again!Apparently, women now trust bears more than men in the woods. Yes—actual apex predators are beating American males in the approachability Olympics. Why? Because bears don’t mansplain. They don’t run podcasts. And they sure as hell don’t send 3 a.m. “u up?” texts. This week’s mo...

CARY HARRISON: So here we are again!Another fine morning in the land of the free—and by “free,” I mean surveilled, manipulated, and politely asked to applaud while Congress rolls out the velvet carpet for the next all-American power grab.
