America’s Version of Bizarro World

May 31st, 2023|

Perhaps there are those of you who remember the DC Comics venture called Bizarro World? Yes, I am dating myself. It appears that this is where we are heading, or have arrived, in America.

Increased Devotion

May 26th, 2023|

President Abraham Lincoln was not the featured speaker for the dedication of the Gettysburg National Cemetery, but his 263-word speech will never be forgotten. When I think about Memorial Day it is truly about those of us who still walk about taking increased devotion to those who have given the last full measure of devotion. Memorial Day is special to me because my Dad and Mom are buried together in Marietta National Cemetery in Georgia. My Dad, Herman West Sr., was a World War II US Army Corporal who answered the call of duty to serve his Nation, even when his Nation did not serve him. My Dad wanted to be a part of a new birth of freedom for people far and away from him in the European Theater of Operations (ETO). And having been born in 1920 in the South, Dad was yet to experience many of those freedoms, but that did not deter him.

Governor Hobbs Thumbs Nose at Election Integrity and American Manufacturing

May 19th, 2023|

The integrity of our electoral process is vital to maintaining the foundations of democracy. Reliable and secure voting machines play a crucial role in the faith, trust, and confidence of our elections. Knowing and understanding this, the Arizona Legislature just passed H.B. 2613, which would have mandated voting machines used in state elections be made in America. Furthermore, this legislation would have required all those voting machines to have 100% of their parts and components sourced and assembled in the U.S.

Free vs. Ideological Press

May 18th, 2023|

We must all disperse the vital kernels of truth that will restore and sustain our Republic. We must be relentless and share truth and knowledge with those in the dark. Show them the light.

We are playing a part in history, and that is watching the demise of the sovereignty of the United States.

Attacking parents is a primary leftist strategy

May 6th, 2023|

Parenthood. What causes liberal elites to despise this institution? So, what is it about parenthood that brings up such vitriolic reactions these days? Parenthood is more than the ability to bring children into this world. Indeed, it is the ability of an adult to take joy in the responsibilities that come with educating, rearing, and taking care of one’s children.

Democrats are threatening to remove security funding for Supreme Court

May 5th, 2023|

ACRU Executive Director Allen West has this to say on the issue, "The Senate Democrats do not possess the power of the purse, so any appropriations measure they propose would have to be approved by the US House of Representatives. However, this unconstitutional violation of the separation of powers assault by Senate Democrats against the Judicial branch is a clear threat to our representative democracy and its foundations. But, if the US Supreme Court needs a security force, I am more than happy to head it up!"

Why Can’t We Be Friends?

May 2nd, 2023|

The tyrannical totalitarian left believes they get to decide, just as they get to decide what type of car we drive, oven we have, food we eat, our mortgage fees, and whether we can defend ourselves.

Von Spakovsky: The Latest Election Data Show—Once Again—That “Voter Suppression” Claim Is Just Propaganda

April 19th, 2023|

Numerous studies and turnout data from states that have improved the security of their election process through commonsense reforms have shown that making integrity a primary goal of the laws and regulations governing the election process does not “suppress” votes. In fact, it seems to increase voter confidence in elections, which in turn can help to increase turnout. As the U.S. Supreme Court said in 2008 when it found Indiana’s voter ID law to be constitutional and not to be a burden on voters, maintaining “public confidence in the integrity of the electoral process has independent significance, because it encourages citizen participation in the democratic process.”

Where’s Helen Reddy?

April 18th, 2023|

Helen Reddy once sang, "I am woman, hear me roar." Now we have biological males roaring and masquerading as being better women than women.
