My fellow blacks, please: Stop wasting time on statues and solve today's problems

Atlanta’s Bishop Jerome Dukes was quoted widely in the media last week explaining why he thinks we should be spending time protesting statues of people from the Confederacy, and ultimately having them taken down.

Need a plan to replace ObamaCare, Republicans? Here it is:

Sadly, this is what our 535 members of Congress are doing, and they can't solve the health care and health insurance mess as a group. They bump into special interests who have supported their re-election campaigns, or they are trying to protect current sweeteners in current law, or they get bogged down with procedures, or they are trying to pay back old political favors.

Even in the face of a madman's nuclear threats, Democrats still take potshots at Trump

There used to be an expression that said “politics stops at the water’s edge.” Some people took it to mean that you never criticized the president when he was out of the country, but what it really meant was that, when the president was facing an international threat or challenge and trying to protect the country, that was not the time to be taking partisan potshots at him.

Good news: Small businesses hiring at fastest level in 10 years

Maybe you didn’t hear about it because it didn’t involve Anthony Scaramucci, but we got very good news this week on a matter that actually affects a lot of your lives. Small business hiring is picking up in America. Not only that, but the pay is good because quality workers are hard to find.

John McCain stabbed us in the back

Dan's and Rob's reactions to what Senator McCain did last week were not an overreaction. Why? Because the more I tried not to think about what he did in casting the deciding vote to keep ObamaCare, the angrier I got. Dan and Robert's titles of their commentaries sum it up ...

Pay attention citizens: We're being screwed

Health, health care, and health insurance are not all the same, but they are all part of the mess we are in now. The mess we are in now started with the Democrats in Congress and President Obama shoving ObamaCare down our throats.

Republicans say one thing, do another

I know a lot of Republican officeholders, and respect them a great deal. I am the last person who would try to tell you that Republicans in general don’t really want to govern, but prefer instead to sit back and take shots at Democrats while they govern.

What a FAILED 'Skinny Repeal' means to the public

Many of us were not big fans of "skinny repeal" to begin with, but at least it was a step in the right direction. Forty-Nine Republicans in the Senate reluctantly agreed with that line of thinking. Sadly, Senators Murkowski, Collins and McCain (consummate RINO's all) decided to protect Obama's 'signature legislation', along with forty-eight Democrats.

Resist all you want, liberals: We're focused on results, results, results

The first six months of accomplishments by the Trump administration are impressive, but you would not know it listening to the liberal media and the Democrats.

Good mood food: A fresh start

On Sunday at the British Open golf tournament, Jordan Spieth had one of the worst front nine of golf ever by someone leading the tournament. He eventually lost his two-stroke lead to Matt Kuchar, and many golf observers had to concede that Jordan didn't have it that day, and would probably lose the tournament.

Health care: Get back in there and fix this mess

President Trump had a plan all along in case Republicans failed to repeal and replace ObamaCare. And boy did they fail. I suspected we might be going in this direction as soon as the Senate announced its intention to push aside the House-passed American Health Care Act and rewrite the bill. That spelled disaster all along, because you’ve got too many RINOs in the Senate who don’t really want free-market health care.

Trump dividends: Job gains, rising household incomes, risking stock values

You wouldn’t know it from listening to the news these days, but President Trump’s job is not to “comment on Russia,” whatever that means. It’s to repair the health of our economy, our federal budget, our national security and a variety of other things that fall under the category of . . . actual policy.

Join me in fighting the liberals through Pay Attention Citizens PAC

The liberals are trying to steal America! The liberals, the political establishment and the liberal media are trying to steal and reshape our culture and our nation.

Public's support of Trump's travel ban shows power of leadership

To listen to the media coverage, you’d think the general public was strongly opposed to President Trump’s temporary, limited ban on travel from six Muslim countries – which finally went into mostly full effect after last month’s Supreme Court ruling in its favor.

The Democrats: Feeding fear to the USA

If there was any doubt that the Democrats in Congress are the leading fear mongers in our nation's capital, then look for no better example than their vicious and false attacks on the Republican proposals to repeal and replace ObamaCare. The Democrats also believe their supporters and voters are amazingly gullible and easily confused.

Sorry, Hollywood: Georgia voters are not stupid and can't be bought

Democrats still don’t have a clue. They still think “resist” is a winning strategy. And the reason they’ve got this so wrong is that they don’t understand positive media coverage is not the same thing as appealing to the people.

Check yourself: Is your whole life about how much you hate the other political side?

I wouldn’t want to go out of this world the way James T. Hodgkinson did, but it appears to have suited him perfectly. Before he showed up at that baseball field in Alexandria and opened fire on Republican congressmen, he seems to have identified with few things more than his hatred of Republicans.

Luther Cain Jr. and the American dream

Big Daddy is what his three grandchildren lovingly called him. It was his choice as they were growing up. His birth name was Luther Cain, Jr.. My dad.
