National Insecurity, Courtesy of Joe Biden

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

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

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

By |2024-05-01T19:02:56-04:00May 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

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

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

By |2024-04-24T15:41:06-04:00April 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.

The Leftist Definition of Free Speech and Expression

By |2024-04-17T17:14:33-04:00April 17th, 2024|

It is no longer debatable that the progressive socialist leftists, Marxists, in America no longer believe we have a First Amendment right to freedom of speech and expression. I would also add that they are redefining the right to peaceably assemble and petition our government for redress of grievances.

An Utterly Laughable Hypocrisy

By |2024-04-16T14:18:55-04:00April 16th, 2024|

Joe Biden is the greatest threat to our National Security and representative democracy. He is our biggest measure of authoritarianism. His fecklessness and weakness have brought the world to this point of global chaos and calamity. Anyone believing otherwise is in denial of facts and is aiding and abetting the assault on the foundations of our Republic.

The First Unalienable Right — Life

By |2024-04-10T09:02:12-04:00April 10th, 2024|

Let's all lift this Nation up in prayer that it will produce leaders who do not operate in the realm of fear but stand upon that which is right, moral, and just. No one can convince me that a policy of dismembering babies in the womb is any of those. Our Constitutional Republic will not reach its full potential and strength if we do not embrace our first unalienable right, Life, for the unborn and born.
