McCain Family to Complete Journey to Dark Side – Will Support Biden for President

April 25, 2019 Steve MacDonald

No use hiding it, right? The likely Never-Trump ‘Republican’ challengers are not better than Biden. Sure, Larry Hogan (if he runs) is a home run for Republicans in Blue-Maryland, but in Texas, he’s a Democrat who’d be competing with Biden for the same voters. Bill Weld as well.

SCOTUS Answer to Census Question Could Save America

April 25, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Democrats want illegal aliens counted on the 2020 US Census for apportioning seats in the US House. If illegals count, Democrats get more Congressional seats they can win virtually uncontested. That’s bad for liberty. It’s terrible for America.

April 25, 2019April 25, 2019 Steve MacDonald

We bumble our way through questions of free speech regularly. Call it a hobby. Maybe it’s two hobbies. Talking about it and exercising it, while the former is the latter. However that works here is a legal question for the ages. Is flashing your headlights to warn oncoming traffic of a speed trap protected by the First Amendment?

It’s the sad tale of a 20-year old college girl — upstate New York. No car. It’s just too expensive. Get’s pregnant (I guess that’s affordable).

NH Socialists Give Bernie a Boost in the Polls – What it Means for New Hampshire

April 24, 2019 Steve MacDonald

I won’t spend a lot of time on this because frankly, our readers don’t care. But they should. At least on this point. The far left own the base in New Hampshire and they are socialists and that matters.
