| Posted in Blog

Critical Race Theory is a twisted and vile philosophy. Unfortunately, it’s gaining some traction in this current era of “wokeness” and virtue signaling.  It’s actually rooted in Marxism, so let’s start there… In overly simplistic terms, Marxism contends that there’s a struggle between “classes” of people.  For example, those who are wealthy vs. those who aren’t.  Or…

Questionable CDC Guidelines on Children's Camps

| Posted in Blog

Enough of this!! The federal guidelines for children's camps this summer are utterly ABSURD.

So he can bank on more people being persuaded by a false narrative rather than the actual facts: ◾ Trump didn’t campaign on a relaxed approach to border security. Trump didn’t stop building his…

| 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.

What if Candidate Joe Biden had promised the American people total chaos along the southern border, a demoralized Border Patrol, thousands of unaccompanied children, and a renewed humanitarian crisis? ➡️ How would he have fulfilled that sinister yet…
