The idea of the “cult of Santa Claus” has been on my mind for a long time, long before I ever tried to articulate it publicly.

Yeah, we’ve had … Read more

I am not going to go back too far in time, only to 2020 and the Summer of Love. In the last five years, the Democrats have given us enough to show that they are more concerned and bigger fans of people who commit crimes against Americans than they are of the actual victims of … Read more
