Are We the Champions?

July 1st, 2024|

November 5th, 2024, can be just the same moment for America to restore this Constitutional Republic and go from worst to first! If you want to cheer for a championship team...cheer for Team America where and when it really counts, at the ballot box.

The Future of Democracy?

June 25th, 2024|

The future of our representative democracy? If we allow the progressive socialist Marxist left, aka the Democrat party, to remain in power, it is bleak.

A Post-Constitutional America

June 18th, 2024|

We have a person sitting in the Oval Office who knows that he does not have the enumerated constitutional power to do certain things, yet does them anyways. And there are no consequences.

President Benedict Arnold

June 18th, 2024|

In this day and age of politics, it appears that everyone is looking for disparaging monikers to describe their political opposition. It is not disparaging, denigrating, or demeaning to refer to Biden as “Traitor Joe.” It is indeed what he is, sadly so, but truth must be told.

The Rule of Law

June 12th, 2024|

The rule of law exists for a reason: to maintain law and order and to be blind in holding everyone accountable. What is supposed to be a legal system is now a political and weaponized system.

You Ain’t Black

June 3rd, 2024|

My message to Joe Biden and his acolytes of leftism (and that includes Barack Hussein Obama) is simple. I am a proud American Black man who will not be voting for you. And that is how my Mom and Dad raised me, to be a strong, independent-thinking man, not a lemming.

Earn This

May 29th, 2024|

These two words, "Earn This," should resonate with us all, not just on Memorial Day but every day.

Increased Devotion

May 29th, 2024|

Memorial Day is not about hot dogs, swimming pool openings, commercial ads, and car sales. It is about the history and lineage of those who were willing to make the last full measure of devotion—the ultimate sacrifice.

The Camel’s Nose

May 22nd, 2024|

Here we are now, in our Nation, having debate and arguing about individuals illegally in our Republic being able to vote in our elections. it's time to tell our elected officials America is for citizens (born and naturalized), legal immigrants, and tourists.

Our Islamic Terrorist Supporting President

May 22nd, 2024|

We need to ask a very simple question of Joe Biden. In a world where you just restored an Islamic terrorist sanctuary, Afghanistan, why would you push for a wide open border entry into the United States of America?

No Sera’ Infringido

May 15th, 2024|

With the backing of the UN and the approval of the Biden administration, Mexico has filed a court case that could impose the UN small arms treaty, clearing the way for foreign nations to sue and dictate firearms policy in our Constitutional Republic.

National Insecurity, Courtesy of Joe Biden

May 15th, 2024|

As for the President of the United States of America, I believe that the most important title and role is that of Commander-in-Chief of our Armed Forces. The national insecurity insanity of the Biden administration is putting our safety and security at risk, and for what?

It’s Getting Seriously Stupid

May 8th, 2024|

It is getting seriously stupid when we are allowing Islamic terrorist supporters to chant "Death to America," burn our American flag, and deface our Memorials.

Don’t Obstruct the Leftist Implosion

May 7th, 2024|

The Democrats are in a box; they know it, and the last thing Republicans should do is break out a pencil and create an opening for them to escape. When your enemy, political opposition, has led themselves into a U-shaped ambush, you simply close the door of escape.

Tolerance

May 1st, 2024|

In just 80 years, we have gone from young American men and women who did what was necessary to combat evil to a generation that embraces evil and demands that we tolerate and reward it.

There Are No Adult Leftists

April 30th, 2024|

Yeah, da ol' Colonel had to bite his lip, but then I realized what the real issue is...there are no adult leftists. Much the same as Peter Pan, they are stuck in a permanent childish, immature, irrational, and imbecile state of mental existence.

The Left’s Protected Classes

April 24th, 2024|

There is something happening in our Constitutional Republic that perhaps some of you notice. Look at what is happening on college and university campuses at this time. How? Why?

A Spring Semester Final Exam for Democrats

April 23rd, 2024|

All across these United States of America, college and university students are preparing for Spring semester final exams. Well, maybe not so much on the campus of Columbia University, where they are busy chanting intifada and revolution—serious calls to violence. I want to honor this special time, which is a rite of passage for college students, and still, to this day, a cause of nightmares for me when I have dreams I am still in college and have not studied. I have created a Spring semester final exam for Democrats.
