One-Way Ticket to a Socialistic Welfare State

| Posted in Blog

The agenda outlined by President Biden on Wednesday night is a one-way ticket to a socialistic welfare state with astronomical taxes, and government encroaching on every aspect of our lives.  His vision for our nation involves growing the size of almost every corner of the federal government.

Representing the Best of Our Society

| Posted in Blog

There's a small segment of our society that has no dignity. No honor, and no reverence. Over the weekend, some of those individuals chose to deface and vandalize a WWII memorial in a Charlotte cemetery that honors more than 500 men and women who GAVE THEIR LIVES in service to our nation.
