Bad President Proves Obama, Democrats are Total Failures

Last update September 9, 2018Leave a Comment

I didn’t pay much attention to the hyperactive coverage of Barack Obama’s speech in Illinois on Friday. It felt like a tired follow-up to his thinly disguised campaign trail appearance at John McCain’s funeral that confirmed Donald Trump is the only issue for the midterm election. Obama and the Democrats who still follow in line behind him have nothing to offer except higher taxes, leftist extremism, more illegal immigrants, and an agenda that relies on turning Trump into a bad president. In my book that’s a go-nowhere offering that hints strongly at failure.

Lessons for Candidates to Remember From an Angry Summer

Last update September 4, 2018Leave a Comment

Midterm campaign season is getting ready to explode. These are the lessons for candidates who weren’t paying attention to this summer’s hot and ugly national climate: low unemployment is a failure, extremism is moderation, the rule of law depends on what party you belong to, and only the opposition’s Supreme Court nominees will legislate from the bench.

Abolish America? Liberal Dissidents Plan to Destroy Our Ideals

Last update June 30, 2018Leave a Comment

America is a not a place. It’s a concept based on ideals. Without the ideals we are just real estate to be given away to the highest bidder. One of those ideals is that we are a sovereign nation. That’s a tough one to sell as the voices demanding open borders and a socialist economy get louder. Extremist Democratic Party members know that they can encourage a militant left to do their dirty work while they stand back and hold themselves blameless for the inevitable confrontations and violence their rhetoric will create. That’s how liberal dissidents will abolish America, one clash and one ideal at a time.

America First Policy Is Not What Republicans are Fighting For

Last update October 20, 2018Leave a Comment

The RNC just came knocking, looking for money again. Republicans have a lot of explaining to do before they deserve a single cent, starting with their tepid support for the president and the America First policy they aren’t supporting. Are they afraid they will be accused of being nationalists or is this the timeworn tradition of separating themselves from a president who might interfere with their job prospects and control of a Congress they still can’t seem to take charge of?

You Don’t Matter, So Give Up On Voting in Illinois

Last update November 4, 2020

On Tuesday Illinois decided to pit two rich white guys against each other for governor. Their values are confusing. Democrat Pritzker embodies many of the things liberals bitterly resent, but they still made an exception for this member of the 1%. Bruce Rauner’s efforts to get along with an unyielding opposition in Springfield have alienated conservatives. If you really believe in the values your party tells you to hold dear, then how can you support either candidate? Fortunately, this isn’t a problem because you don’t matter and neither does voting in this state.

Words With Meanings Only Politicians Understand

Last update January 5, 2019

Do you know what simple words like budget, duty, and gun mean? You are probably wrong. These are politically-charged words with meanings that only make sense to politicians. That’s why a budget is something that should never be balanced, freedom means restricting our liberty, and fair share means paying too much.

Trial by Media: Dangerous Election Strategy Bites Back

Last update June 26, 2019

Sure winner Hillary Clinton had a pretty good ride while her campaign fanned the flames of the trial by media her opponent has been subjected to. Now the negative spotlight shines brightly upon her. Clinton’s dangerous election strategy turned around and bit her on the backside.
