We have heard dozens of times in the last couple of years that one thing or another was going to destroy our Democracy. It started with Donald Trump, whose sheer existence was the ultimate threat to our Democracy.

Hard to Feel Our Pain While Nestled in a $20 Million Beachfront Home
The economy is a numbers game. Do I feel the numbers are manipulated? Absolutely. An example is the unemployment numbers falsely reported for September and October and then corrected after the midterm elections.
Sunday Spotlight: A Boy’s Trip to DC Becomes an Annual Act of Patriotism
Morrill was a 12 year old paper boy for the Bangor Daily News when he won a trip to Washington, D.C. It was a trip he would never forget, and his stop at Arlington National Cemetery made an indelible impression on the young lad from Maine.
Joe is Mulling Re-election. God Help Us
While Americans are trying to enjoy their Holiday weekend and watching their household budget blown to hell, Joe Biden is contemplating his future. He has been on Nantucket with his family since the beginning of the week, enjoying the trappings of a $20 million supporter-donated waterfront home.
Election Denier is Their Cover
There is a term that Democrats have used profusely during the Midterms to describe most Republican candidates, especially those supported by Donald Trump. This label was an unfair character assassination.
Challenges, Yes, But Plenty to be Thankful For
I think we are cynical people by nature. We believe in the worst because we are constantly bombarded by bad news. The old adage “if it bleeds, it leads” has never had more meaning.
Being a Conservative Shouldn’t Make You an Isolationist
I had an interesting experience this week that challenged me as a Conservative. It was noteworthy because I have always thought of myself as not close to the center, but when I had a blog twenty years ago, my tagline was “there is no room to my right.”
This is How Biden Sees Fair Share
Joe Biden has been talking about the “fair share” for years,
AG Garland is Nothing More Than A Pawn
If there is one thing we need to thank Mitch McConnell for is that he never allowed Merrick Garland a chance to become a member of the Supreme Court.
Sunday Spotlight: A Baseball Player, Golfer, Cowboy, American Legend
I grew up with sports and have been a traditionalist about sports since I was a kid. That was probably instilled at an early age by my Dad. He loved all sports and taught me to do the same.
Nancy Steps Down….Finally
I watched Nancy Pelosi’s farewell speech today, and I confess I cannot shed a tear or think of any positivity in her reign. This last week has been huge for those who wanted to see a change of the guard and a slow-down of the Progressive slide we have been suffering through.
Please, Let Me Pay Your Student Loan
MSNBC ran a spot last Thursday night where they talked about how most people who have their student loans paid for will travel or dine out with their newfound funds. These people, buried under excessive debt, are so creative in how they will spend our money.
Donald is in…..What’s Next
As much as I think the results of the Donald Trump Presidency will be considered one of the most successful in history, I hoped he would not re-enter the race for the White House.
Hey Joe, Fentanyl is an Attack on America
Mr. President, the most critical function of your office is the safety of Americans. With the loss of 100,000 Americans each year to Fentanyl poisoning, do you see the illegal drug as a problem?
Biden’s Climate Change Piggy Bank
We first must understand that the President has no authority to allocate U.S. tax dollars. Congress is charged with the sole responsibility of how and where the United States distributes the hard-earned money of the American People.
Let’s Look at the Election Process
I am not an election denier, but I am an election cynic. The events of this past week should be embarrassing to all Americans. But the fact it does not seem to concern the Left might be because it is their design.
Sunday Spotlight: Not Snow, nor Rain, nor Heat…Heck No
I try to make my Sunday Spotlight a positive, upbeat article, but this has not been a very uplifting week. This week’s Spotlight is on the United States Postal Service.
Another Way to Pad the Vote
One thing you can count on with the Democrats and elections is their creativity in creating new voters and votes. Two ideas that I hope will never come to fruition are giving non-citizens the right to vote in the United States elections and lowering the voting age to sixteen. Our Constitution secures the right to vote.
A Day for the Veterans
Today is set aside to show gratitude to every man or woman who has donned the uniform. Today we put aside talking about the 535 elected officials who work at the Capitol in Washington, D.C., and give thanks to every man and woman who chose to serve and protect this incredible country.
Trying to Make Sense of a Confused Electorate
It’s the day after. This election cycle was one of the most divisive, negative spectacles I have ever witnessed. The results show how polarized we are but also how confused. Both parties were anticipating or braced for a sea change in Washington. They got a change, but not what was expected.
