Lots of people are missing the bigger issue here on the treatment of National Guard troops at the U.S. Capitol. This is more than a “miscommunication.” It’s a lack of Congressional leadership.
If you’re going to call in over 20,000 members of the National Guard… If you’re going to take them away from their families, their jobs, and their homes for weeks on end… If you’re… Read more »
Let’s say a government-controlled company started selling televisions at crazy low prices all over the world. Like a huge 4K flat screen for under $50 – many hundreds of dollars less than every other TV on the market.

And then there's another segment of our society represented in the photos below. These are Americans… Read more »
Two totally different worlds – two completely different mindsets – were on full display last night. It was unlike any other State of the Union address I’ve seen, either in person or on TV.
There were a couple of themes to the President’s address. First, he took a well-deserved victory lap on numerous fronts: from the economy & trade to our military & war on terror. We must always… Read more »
It is truly mind-blowing to listen to Democrats’ reaction to last week’s elimination of a murderous terrorist. Statements like: “Yes, Qassem Soleimani was a terrorist but…”
❌ …but it might cause Iran to retaliate
❌ …but we didn’t have a right to strike him on Iraqi soil.
