Reflections on Legacy

June 9th, 2025|

Legacy, preserving, protecting, supporting, and defending the time-honored and hard-fought-for principles and values of our great Constitutional Republic and passing it on to subsequent generations. It is the only way to pass on the individual liberty, freedoms, and rights we enjoy...but it takes men and women of courage and honor to take the field.

ACRU Aids Second Amendment Win!

In Smith & Wesson Brands, Inc. v. Estados Unidos Mexicanos, the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously held that Mexico failed to plausibly allege that American gun manufacturers aided and abetted criminal activity in Mexico. As a result, the Mexican government’s claim for $10 billion will be dismissed.

Is Inciting Violence Free Speech?

Accountability

The Leftist/Jihadist Cult of Hate and Death

May 26th, 2025|

Targeting anyone for violence based upon their race or religion is unacceptable in our Constitutional Republic, and supporting it is reprehensible. America is a battlefield now, an ideological one, but the reality is that some see it as one of threats, intimidation, coercion, and violence.

Honor Memorial Day

May 21st, 2025|

Maybe this Memorial Day, first, share the oath that these brave men and women took with your loved ones. Then find the time to go and say to them, in that quiet space known as a National Cemetery, "Honor Memorial Day."

Injunctions and Immunity

May 19th, 2025|

Today's Democrat party, a coalition of socialists, Islamic jihadists, and Marxists, is bereft of ideas. Their only recourse is to be an impediment to the success of our Nation. It is time we, as true American Patriots, meet them eye to eye and defend the ultimate "I" word that defines our Republic. Independence.

Resistance = Insurrection

May 12th, 2025|

One does not pet a rattlesnake on the head; therefore, it is high time we stop coddling and dismissing abhorrent and violent behavior.

Our Enduring Constitution

May 7th, 2025|

This grand experiment in self-governance only works with an informed, educated, and engaged electorate. I think we can all agree that the problems we face in America are due to our own ignorance and apathy.

The Gun Issue no One is Talking About

April 30th, 2025|

My message to the progressive socialist leftist Marxists is that we will not surrender our weapons. As long as y'all continue to support open borders, releasing criminal illegal immigrants, and standing shoulder to shoulder with Islamic jihadists, we shall resist.

What is a Sanctuary City…or State?

April 26th, 2025|

We are struggling, well, some folks are, with understanding that illegal means illegal. If you have committed an action that is illegal, that means you have committed a crime. I

Delusional Judicial Review

If you are not a citizen of our Constitutional Republic, and violated our laws by entering illegally, under what authority are you entitled to stay, and have your "day in court?"

I say we fight the ChiComs here and now and bring them to their knees economically—that we rally an entire world against them and their cohorts. That we produce, manufacture, and export our goods, services, and energy resources. This is our moment. Failure is not an option!
