What Democrat leadership looks like is Portland Oregon. There has been months on end of rioting. There are many assaults. The citizens cannot use the streets without fear. Commerce is slowing and businesses are leaving.
Article I of the U.S. Constitution describes the Legislative branch of government. It is the first and is arguably the most important branch of government. Do you know what the founders actually set up and why? Do you think the current system is the original system?
The Oregonian reports there is a man under investigation in a fatal shooting in Portland. His name is Michael Forest Reinoehl. He supports Black Lives Matter and Antifa. Reports say his victim is a man, Aaron Danielson. Some knew him as “Jay.”

All the violence is the Mayor’s fault. He did it. We had nothing to do with it… In what has to be the most hilarious story since the start of the rioting six left-wing groups are demanding Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler resign. Perhaps for the first time we agree. After a fatal shooting this weekend these … Read more
Washington D.C. is simply not accountable. Do you believe that every cent of your tax dollars spent by your elected officials should be online? Should government spending be viewable in real-time? Transparency would be revolutionary.
There’s an old saying: What’s sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. It means one person or situation should be treated the same way that another person or situation is treated. Last week a situation arose which calls the ethics of the president of a major college into question.
Should the candidates for President debate? Let’s ask Nancy. Democratic presidential nominee, Joe Biden, has many concerned supporters. Their concern is debating Donald Trump. Why? Their candidate has faced a multitude of questions about his mental and cognitive health.
New York the Empire State has financial issues. So, to see what kind of emperor New York has OpenTheBooks.com did a comparison. They matched the New York state checkbook with Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s campaign donor disclosures. From 2014 to 2018, Cuomo solicited 377 state vendors.
When Kamala says Democrats embrace the ‘diversity’ of radical and moderate views, believe her. Believe at least half of what she says. The media have mislabeled Ms. Harris as a moderate. She might better be described as an opportunist. She is certainly a predator.
California or Bust … and Go Broke. The Okies had it pretty much right. Today in the Golden State, 341,000 state and local government employees earn more than $100,000 in salary or pension payments. The statistics in this post come from OpenTheBooks.com and their article in RealClear Politics. Don’t worry; the HEROES Act will bail … Read more
Twitter mouths a lot of words about being a place where bigotry and intolerance are not accepted, except when Twitter supports the bigotry and intolerance. Twitter is the place where bigotry, bullying, and intolerance against certain people is just fine.
Today we see the results of years and years of secularist attacks on religion. There has been a denial of eternal truths and the exclusion of religion and morality from public life. But here’s the rub. You can’t have the freedom to peaceably assemble for a redress of grievances. Not unless you have morality.
Progressives love to point to Europe as an example for their policies. So let’s look there. In Europe, we find that the wealth tax as a policy has a fundamental flaw. Thirty years ago, 12 European countries had some form of wealth tax. Now, only three remain. Why is that?
What is happening in California? States know their revenue streams have taken a hit. In New Hampshire, the shortfall will be half to three-quarters of a billion dollars. The upcoming legislative session will be a test.
Narratives or facts and truth; what’s the difference? The news media are projecting a “narrative”. The fact news people are doing narratives, that the word is part of the lexicon conveys a message. We are in trouble.
The Founders knew freedom without morality inevitably leads back to tyranny if each man is free to do what is right in the sight of his own eyes. If there is no common, objective standard of right and wrong, good and evil, what is to stop the strong from oppressing the weak?
Individuals in traditional communities have pride in their good names and act accordingly. Families inside communities are strong and healthy. They tend to take care of their own. This minimizes the need for policing and social aid. Neighborhoods full of strong families tend to produce their own monitoring systems.
