The Seditious and Treasonous Actions of Leftist Elected Officials

November 25th, 2025|

There has been much chatter about the video released by six Marxist leftist elected officials with military backgrounds. The group is composed of Senators Elissa Slotkin and Mark Kelly, along with Representatives Jason Crow, Chris Deluzio, Maggie Goodlander, and Chrissy Houlahan. In this now viral video, these useful idiots, Vladimir Lenin's term, make the insidious statement to the members of our US Armed Forces that, “You can refuse illegal orders...you must refuse illegal orders.”

The Party of Mean Girls…and Petulant, Weak Boys

November 18th, 2025|

The party of the mean girls and weak boys is really the kids that no one picked to play, and they are angry about their rejection. Their goal is to punish you for not being inclusive of their demented behavior.

What is Law to the Marxist Left?

November 12th, 2025|

What is law to the Marxist left? To the rest of us, the law is the law. To the Marxists, it is whatever they want it to be to maintain control.

You Reap What You Sow

November 11th, 2025|

There has been incessant commentary, analysis, assessments, and consternation about the results from last week's off-cycle elections. There are those on the left who are dancing in the end zone and spiking the football. Those on the right are seemingly wringing their hands. So, what is my assessment of the situation from last Tuesday's election?

Supreme Court to decide on racial gerrymandering in Louisiana v. Callais

November 4th, 2025|

At issue is Louisiana’s congressional map, which was redrawn after litigation to include a second majority-Black district, under the Voting Rights Act. Advocates of the redistricting effort said the map protects minority voting rights. In reality, it transforms the Voting Rights Act into a tool for partisan gerrymandering, forcing states to engineer partisan districts under the guise of racial equity.

There is No First Amendment Right for Black Conservatives to Speak on Racism

November 4th, 2025|

This from the censors at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University... How dare a retired U.S. Army officer, combat veteran, with multiple academic degrees, who is Black, set foot on the campus of ERAU and think he will have a platform to objectively analyze the cultural Marxist Trojan horse known as Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion?

ACRU Files Amicus Brief to Uphold Immigration Law

October 15th, 2025|

ACRU strongly believes that the rule of law is foundational to a well-functioning and safe society. ACRU asserts that without the ability to rid society of criminal aliens who have violated the law, this rule of law is unable to be upheld. ACRU further believes that state and local law enforcement is empowered to work with the federal government to uphold this rule of law, and that the ability to continue to detain criminals who are wanted by the federal government is of paramount importance.

The Constitutional Delusion and Hypocrisy of the Left

October 8th, 2025|

How many of you remember the tarmac standoff moment between then AZ Governor Jan Brewer and President Barack Obama? It was about illegal immigration and the fact that the Obama administration was telling Gov. Brewer that it was a federal issue and the State had no jurisdiction. Hypocrisy now?

Don’t Touch the Hot Stove

October 6th, 2025|

Somewhere along the way, we as adults have failed in warning our children about the dangers of certain political philosophies...namely Marxism, socialism, communism, and Islamo-fascism.

The Consequences of Treason and Seditious Speech

October 1st, 2025|

Yes, we all believe in the freedom of speech and expression, but there is a very clear line that has been, is being, crossed...it must come to an end, and the restoration of the rule of law must be achieved.

Recognize a Palestinian What?

September 25th, 2025|

When in the course of history has there ever been a Palestinian state? It was not until the late 1960s that the brilliant marketer, Yasser Arafat, aligned a region with a certain group of people and created the modern fallacy for which some have believed.
