November 28, 2024 Steve MacDonald

George Floyd overdosed and then died in police custody. Black Lives Matter rose from obscurity to lead a revolution (burning down black businesses and extorting money), and weak-kneed concerns, from insurance to sports teams to pancakes, rice, and dairy products, cleansed their brands of anything “brown person.” These casualties included the Mutual of Omaha Chief, … Read more

August 10, 2022 Op-Ed

During the runup to his 2016 presidential election victory, former President Donald Trump made illegal immigration and border security one of the primary aspects of his campaign’s platform.

March 9, 2021 Skip

Steve wrote a post “Democrats Reveal Why They Incited the Capitol Riot…” in which he said (reformatted, emphasis mine): When you steal something precious or special, you need to protect it.
