In just eleven days, the new House Republican majority will change the direction of our country.1

The likely new speaker made a lot of promises to the American people starting with his Commitment to America.

Liars Govern America. Why Won’t Democrats Tell the Truth?

Last update January 30, 202316 Comments

For Washington's Democrat Party leadership lies are politics as usual. We can’t believe anything we hear whether they are talking up a bill to reduce inflation or a border that’s safe and secure.

7 Great Things About America Biden is Destroying Now

Last update February 7, 2023113 Comments

President Biden has racked up an impressive list of accomplishments. He proved he can destroy some of the great things about America without any help from Congress. All it takes is a pen and someone to tell him where to sign.

The executive orders Biden signed on Day One were just the beginning of a series of bad moves, misjudgments, blunders, lies, and flagrantly un-American policy decisions.

The president won’t look back at the damage he’s done and swears he won’t change a thing while he makes plans to destroy what’s left of our future. Working closely with Democrats in Congress he has more than enough power to do exactly that. This post is updated constantly, so make sure to check out what Biden is up to right now to end American greatness.

Freedoms Democrats Take Away Are Not Coming Back

Last update January 17, 20238 Comments

Author's note: this work in progress began while Barack Obama was still in office. Now Trump is long gone and Joe Biden sits on his Oval Office throne and signs orders while authoritarian Democrats strip away our freedoms and liberties and the losses are added to this post one by one.

January 17, 2023: Democrats are Disgusting, Part I: how can we create more white supremacy and use it to take Americans' freedom away?

Too Late for Immigration Deal With Democrats

Last update November 22, 2022Leave a Comment

Republicans are in charge and that means it's too late for Democrats like Dick Durbin to force an immigration deal. Instead of amnesty, it's time for GOP lawmakers to impeach Mayorkas, round up the gotaways, and demand that DHS identify every foreign national the Biden administration welcomed into our country. When that's finished and the border is locked down, maybe we can talk about a deal.

Americans Wake Up to Far left Threat & It Feels Like 1776

Last update November 2, 2022Leave a Comment

Remember the old joke about hanging? With time, you can get used to anything. With a little help from an increasingly authoritarian Washington and a president who vacillates between phony nods to democracy and outright autocracy, getting used to hanging is what happened to Americans after they decided that Joe Biden and the Democrats were a better choice to lead our country than Donald Trump and the GOP.

Woke Means Wipe Out Kindness Everywhere it Exists

Last update August 7, 2022Leave a Comment

Promoting meaningful social change is not the same thing as creating injustice to inflict a competing orthodoxy. Joe Biden likes to point out that we haven’t always lived up to our values. He’s not wrong, but there is a vast difference between not fulfilling our highest aspirations and politicizing America's alleged failures for political leverage. That's the problem with going woke in America.

Democrats Celebrate Pride for Their LGBTQI+ Victims

Last update June 14, 2022Leave a Comment

Pride Month is back. It’s time for woke corporations, identity politics-obsessed Democrats, terminally disgruntled activists, and even our local libraries to cram LGBTQI+ pride down our throats. You can’t escape it even if you aren’t part of that constantly evolving acronym that will eventually run out of letters to promote all the permutations of sexual and gender non-conformity that can be dreamed up by those with nothing better to do.

Is Omar’s H.R. 5665 Islamophobia Bill About Boebert or Israel?

Last update December 30, 2021Leave a Comment

I won't try to justify the remark Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) made about Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN). Joking or not she crossed the line, but neither can I justify Democrats using her comment to score points with a new, politically-motivated Islamophobia crisis and legislation to give another racism crisis the appearance of legitimacy.

December 30, 2021: Does H.R. 5665 open the door to a UN investigation of America?

December 20, 2021: Democrats' ethical dilemma pits Islamophobia against protecting the rights of women and girls.

December 16, 2021: Why did Democrats reject H.R. 5665 amendment to protect Israel?
