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?"

Freedom

This weekend, I would humbly ask you to think about one simple word: Freedom. It is the seminal word that is the basis for this great Nation.

How Do You Wanna Fight China?

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!

The Only Thing We Have to Fear…

We can ill afford to continue to be a Nation that does policy and strategy in election cycles, only looking out 2-4 years. Leadership is about having vision and the courage to speak the truth to the people as to what they need to hear.

Tesla Terrorism

Rights vs Privileges

…against all Enemies, Foreign, and Domestic
