Trump, Putin, and the Double-Fisted Handshake

It was a meeting of two strong personalities. There was a powerful man in the room, and it wasn't Vladimir Putin. It began with a backstage meeting at the G20 Summit. Mounted cameras caught the whole thing.

Slow Justice for Lavoy Finicum

LaVoy Finicum was shot at nine times by State Police and the FBI, and was left to die in the Oregon snow after the government targeted him, and executed him, without remorse, or due process, because he dared to stand up for property rights and against federal tyranny.

The Brilliance of Trump's Mika Brzezinski Tweet

Twice I have written about Trump's Tweet that has the media going nuts. The liberal left is attacking Trump viciously over his "unpresidential" tweet about Mika Brzezinski's bleeding face after a face lift that may, or may not, have happened.

H.R. 60 would allow illegal aliens to serve in the military

First, I am saddened that the sponsor of this heinous bill is a republican. Congressman Jeff Denham is the sponsor behind trying to bring ENLIST Act (H.R. 60) to the floor of Congress.

Travel Ban by California Democrats

While the Democrats scream and cry over Trump's travel ban from six Muslim-majority countries because they believe his executive order targets Islam and bans travel for some people because of what they believe, California Democrats are banning official travel for California officials to certain locations in the United States because of what the people at the destination locations allegedly believe.

The Puzzle of Steve Bannon

Steve Bannon has been Trump's right-hand man, and ever since that elevation the former head of Breitbart has been under constant attack. According to the liberal left Democrats, Bannon is a Nazi, a bigot, and an extreme right-wing crazy.

Republican Baseball Practice Shooting Only the Beginning

Remember when the Obama presidency, the experts in the executive branch, his minions in Congress, his minions in the media and his minions on the streets tried to convince America that the Tea Party movement, military veterans and supporters of the Republican Party were capable of violence, and that we were somehow all a bunch of domestic terrorists? Yet, the violence from the right-wing never manifested as the liberal left predicted. Tea Party rallies were peaceful, and no mass shootings by Republicans ever happened. When mass shootings did occur, the shooters always turned out to be Democrats. But, the media conveniently didn't discuss that part of the news.

Federal Courts Continue to Illegal Strike Down Trump's Executive Orders

First, I want the judges to show me where in the U.S. Constitution it states that the federal court system has any authority to overturn or nullify an executive order. Second, I want the judges to show me where in the U.S. Constitution it expressly enumerates the power of the courts to strike down legislation or determine the constitutionality of legislation. Third, I want them to show me in the U.S. Constitution where it shows that they have any enforcement power regarding their rulings or judicial opinions.

Supreme Court to Lift Ban on Travel Ban

In Trump's Travel Ban Executive Order, the laws he is executing with the order are listed. Among them is a law that gives the President the ability to prohibit persons from entering the United States if he believes they may be a danger to the national security of this country.

Illegal Alien Criminals Kill Freedom and Prosperity

My wife was born in Mexico, but she does not like what she is seeing in today's America. Her parents immigrated here in the mid-sixties. Papi told me his decision to go through the process of immigrating to the United States was so that he could give his children a better life. Mexico "is not good," he once told me. "More chance for education and better life in America."

Dismantling the 9th Circuit

In Article I, Section 8 of the United States Constitution the text states that Congress has the authority to "constitute Tribunals inferior to the supreme Court.” In Article III of the U.S. Constitution, when referring to the inferior federal courts, it states that it is Congress who may from "time to time ordain and establish.”

California Gas Tax Tumble

You remember the joke, right? How do you know a politician is lying? Their lips are moving. We have become so accustomed to the lying, we assume they are always lying. . . yet, we believe them. It's a weird, sort of Twilight Zone, kind of thing.

United Airlines Innocent

Okay, I've just about had my fill with the news about the United Airlines passenger being dragged off the plane because the company overbooked, but the passenger refused to leave the flight.

Presidential War Powers

There has been a lot of discussion about whether or not the attack on an airfield by American Tomahawk missiles in early April of 2017 was a constitutional action by President Donald J. Trump, despite the fact that the military action occurred prior to the President receiving some kind of congressional approval for it.

CNN: Truth About Rice is Fake News

The liberal left can't stand it. They have gotten to the point where their masquerade is unraveling, and they are in a panic to cover it all up. Liars, once caught lying, create new lies to cover up lies, and then pretend some lies don't exist, and eventually, they can't remember what is a lie, and what is not.

Pence's Dinner Arrangements with Women

The liberal left is appalled. A paragraph in a Washington Post article about Vice President Mike Pence's wife, Karen, revealed, "In 2002, Mike Pence told the Hill that he never eats alone with a woman other than his wife and that he won't attend events featuring alcohol without her by his side, either."

Did Congress Pass a Bill Allowing ISPs to Sell/Share our Browsing Data?

The media, and political messaging artists, know that perception is everything. All you need is a small tidbit of the truth, and if presented properly, you can start a revolution. With that understood, the question on the table is, "Why would Republicans and Trump want Internet Service Providers to be able to sell your browsing information without your consent?"

Sanctuary Cities Violate Supremacy Clause

It has always fascinated me that the liberal left progressives regularly use the Supremacy Clause as an excuse for the unconstitutional control the federal government wields over the States, but when the Supremacy Clause is actually violated, they suddenly ask about States' Rights and disregard the presence of the Supremacy Clause in the U.S. Constitution.

G20 Bows to Trump

Moderation, is the key. For example, food can be a good thing, but if you go to any extreme, be it eating too much, or eating too little, you run the risk of being overweight, or starving yourself to death. Moderation is an important concept in pretty much everything.

Ben Carson Was Right About Slaves As Immigrants
