The Democrats in 116th Congress are a national disgrace. People should hang on to their hats because it is going to be a bumpy ride. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-New York, has compared herself to Abe Lincoln. According to an interview on “60 Minutes,” it is her intent to raise taxes to 70 percent for those at […]

Protecting U.S. sovereignty
That caravan of migrants headed for America’s southern border is nothing more than a Trojan horse. Women and children are placed at the front of the line to act as human shields. Behind them, the majority are military-age males. It is not the flag of the United States of America they are carrying. Democrats are […]

President Obama’s “punishment” for Russia has nothing to […]

They have been replaced with a group of self-indulgent spoiled brats. The mainstream media are out of touch with reality. They are too busy shoveling whatever […]

Party officials aren’t listening
The Republican Party has lost its way. No wonder Donald Trump is winning in the polls. The American people are speaking. Both parties should listen. Republican Party puppeteers hiding in the shadows pulled the strings and Mitt Romney danced. The same Mitt Romney who accepted campaign contributions from Donald Trump, who even had Trump make […]
