January 18, 2020 Steve MacDonald

December 26, 2019 Steve MacDonald

I don’t like to tell people something is must-read or must-watch. It sounds pretentious and a bit totalitarian. But we’re always pulling on a thread. The ‘Be Trump’ theme. Upend the ruling class card table. And this conversation between Mark Levin and Victor Davis Hanson seems important to me.

December 16, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Socialism Is the “In” Thing

Free People Should Never Have to Negotiate (for their lives) from a Position of Weakness.

October 23, 2019 Steve MacDonald

I’ve shared the image repeatedly because it makes the point as well as anything. I do not carry ( a firearm) to impose my will on others. I carry so they cannot impose their will on me.

October 17, 2024August 26, 2019 Steve MacDonald

You may have seen or heard what I’m about to share. But for some reason, while it has been around for eight months, I’ve missed it. And while the issues covered are not new, I somehow missed these remarks by President Trump. Words that we need to hear.
