BLM Will Fail Because American Politics Thrives on Racism

Last update July 4, 2020Leave a Comment

If you pull the violence we’re seeing from protesters out of the equation, Black Lives Matters’ goal of sustainably transforming America away from racism sounds reasonable enough, or at least it does until we consider the newest threat from BLM's Hank Newsome. The catch is that our inherently discordant politics and the negative impact it has on all aspects of our society means there is little chance we will ever see any change, sustainable or not. BLM will fail and it's the Democratic Party's fault.

Liberal Lies About Race From Democrats Do Not Define Us

Over 325 million people live in America. Most of us are good, decent, and law-abiding. We are not racists. Democratic Party politics changed that. Now good people are subjected to furious demands to accept a false premise about our country. The weak succumbed. They bought in. In the background lurk the liberal lies about race Democrats have spread for years in hopes of cashing in when the time is right. That time just arrived.

Progressive Income Plans are Foolish and Unethical

Last update June 5, 2020Leave a Comment

Deceiving desperate people is a lot like deceiving kids. They will believe what they want to hear, especially when they are frightened.

With 14.7% unemployment can we agree that all businesses are essential? How about all of us being in this together? Can we agree on that too? The American people might concur. We aren’t the ones calling the shots. Fighting economic devastation is impossible when the ones who create our pandemic strategy are not only fighting each other, but trying to benefit from adversity made worse by politics.

Should Illegal Immigrants Get a Share of Federal Relief?

No disaster is so bad that politicians can’t find a way to benefit. That’s why liberal House and Senate members are on a crusade to make sure that illegal immigrants get their share of taxpayer-funded coronavirus federal relief benefits while small businesses fold and Americans lose their jobs.

Pelosi’s COVID-19 Power Play is Shameful and Inexcusable

Last update May 16, 2020Leave a Comment

Like me, you are probably sitting at home trying to navigate another dreary day of confinement. It gives us a chance to obsessively consume media while we try to figure out what happened to our safe, predictable lives. This is a very bad time for businesses, but it’s a great opportunity for a shameless COVID-19 power play from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who is probably hedging her bets that she will be the one calling the shots if hapless Joe Biden gets lucky.

Not Our Fault: Virus Gives Death and Taxes a New Meaning

While I listened to my state’s governor pronounce his stay-at-home order on March 20, 2020 I felt like an unruly kid being punished. We were warned about social distancing. More people are sick. We have to restrict our freedom and close the remaining, non-essential businesses that are still open.
