Our Constitutional Republic cannot survive with a two-tiered system of justice. There can no longer be a cabal of individuals, mainly Marxists, who believe that their desire for power and control gives them a mandate to do anything they want...to violate our rule of law.

The Leftist Definition of Democracy

For the leftists, democracy is them getting their way, and when they don't get their way, then the recourse is mobocracy...until they coerce, intimidate, force, threaten, and enact enough violence to have their version of democracy reestablished.

Take Marxists Seriously

There must be consequences and ramifications to those who are advocating treason, who are masquerading as elected officials.

As we went into our 249th Independence Day, we would once again be exposed to the progressive socialist leftist politics of exaggerated alarmism.

Happy Independence Day Y’all

The battle lines are being drawn; it has less to do with political parties but rather two very different and competing philosophies of governance. Obama, Mamdani, Ocasio-Cortez, Omar, Tlaib, Brandon Johnson, Newsome, Karen Bass, the progressive socialist Marxist left, and Islamic jihadists offer us tyranny. I chose Liberty...

I hear that we are going to have "No Kings 2.0" protests all across the Country on our 249th Independence Day. But if you seek to follow the Constitution, you're a dictator, tyrant, and evil. Nope, you cannot reason why that level of stuck on stupid.

When an Opportunity Presents Itself
