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|

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.

Happy Constitution Day

September 16th, 2025|

I challenge you today to make this promise: that you will read the entire Constitution of the United States by the end of this week. Something that simple would honor the sacrifice of so many who had made the ultimate sacrifice and given the last full measure of devotion so that "the government of the people, by the people, and for the people shall not perish from the earth". We honor the man who uttered those words at the dedication of the cemetery at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.

In honor of Charlie Kirk, we shall be more relentless in advocating for our freedom of speech and will confront you on the battleground of ideals and intellectual debate, where you will suffer electoral defeat.

One of the Left’s Three Branches of Rule…the Media

September 8th, 2025|

I know that most of you do not want to tune into ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, CNN, or MSNBC. However, you actually do need to check them out. What you will find out is the existence of two completely and diametrically opposed interpretations of "news.”

Gun Control?

September 1st, 2025|

It is time we stop coddling individuals who are suffering from a mental condition. We do not need to acquiesce to individuals with a mental condition just so that they feel "accepted.”

Dazed and Confused

August 27th, 2025|

We are having a plunge into fascism? When the government tells you what you can eat and where you can buy it, well, that is pure Marxism, socialism, communism and yes, fascism.

An Empty Wagon makes a Lot of Noise

August 25th, 2025|

An empty wagon makes a lot of noise. When one's brain is empty, meaning lacking knowledge, the mouth makes a lot of noise to compensate for the apparent incompetence.

The Marxist Mindset

August 20th, 2025|

Leftists are not constrained by anything other than the pursuit of power and control...winning. This is why Marxists can look at the Constitution and do a complete rewrite, actually, disregarding our rule of law.

The Allure of Lawlessness for Leftists

August 13th, 2025|

Folks, there ain't no Batman coming to save Gotham. It's a Republic, if you can keep it. And you can't keep it if you are disarmed, living in fear, have no law enforcement, and are subjected to rampant lawlessness, even from criminal illegal immigrants.
