Political Reforms to Reject, and Political Reforms to Consider

There is a populist uprising against the political class in Washington DC. That's a good thing, in that our power should belong to the federal government, which can decide what they want to do with us.

MAGA vs. DACA: How Trump Supporters Trumped Jimmy Kimmel on Late Night TV

Earlier this month, Jimmy Kimmel, the late-night talk show host with a terminal case of Trump Derangement Syndrome, wanted to host a segment with voters who oppose DACA. To find willing guests, ABC Casting had reached out to me and fellow Trump supporters to appear on the show. At first, I was reluctant. Kimmel uses every shame-inducing prop imaginable to attack President Trump in particular and conservatives in general. I reached out to friend and fellow activist, Robin Hvidston, director of We the People Rising, for advice. She encouraged me to go with her and four others: Chanell Temple, Wes Parker, Lorie Masonas, and Celeste Grieg. All of us know each in other conservative circles throughout Southern California.

The Illegal Alien Dreamers' Nightmare Comes True: The Democrats Don't Care About Them

Election 2018 is turning into another contentious year, perhaps with consequences that could bring to mind Donald Trump’s unprecedented and historic 2016 election

Ronald Reagan’s 107th Birthday--Why Are We Still Celebrating?

After receiving three different emails to sign a card celebrating Ronald Reagan’s 107th Birthday, I asked myself: “Why are we still celebrating the Gipper?” He was a great President, but is the icon turning into a crutch for hiding from the fights of today?

The California Governor's Race: Right-wing Dreams and Left-wing Nightmares

Jerry Brown is retiring—for good this time. Governor Moonbeam has been an unmitigated disaster for California, and God forbid that his children run for statewide office. Californians have an open governor’s seat again.

Illegal Alien Dreams Deferred

Election 2018: Blue Wave Rising or Falling?

GOP grassroots want men and women in elected office who fight back, who keep their promises, and pay attention to the basic needs of the Working Man on Main Street

US Senator John McCain is proof positive that we need to repeal the 17th Amendment

John McCain: Old, incompetent, out-of-touch, full of embittered toward the current President and his administration

Shame on Cut-And-Run Conservatives--Stand With Judge Roy

Rising accusations of sexual assault, abuse, and child molestation are (thankfully) bringing creepy Hollywood to its knees. We should rejoice, since these stories have been documented and released to the public at great length. But do we automatically stand by our men or our team when someone issues allegations against people whom we have trusted or look up to? Ben Shapiro has warned conservatives about partisan responses to allegations of sexual abuse. I agree.

America is Going to Be Conservative for a Long Time: Five Reasons Why

I recently discovered an article by author Daniel Lang, an incredible piece brimming with optimism for us conservatives. This quote in his article sums up his argument: “I think that the political landscape in America is going to be drifting towards conservatism for the next 20-40 years.”

Let’s Have a Conversation about Gun Laws … to Expand the Second Amendment

For the past two months, I have encountered Brown Supremacist bigots and single-payer cult militants. They claim to have a discussion about these contentious issues, but invariably they incite arguments with name-calling, brow-beating, and shame-placing. Then they get angry when I call them out on their hateful tactics. Their retort? “You don’t want to have a conversation!” For the Left, there is no interest in discussion. They have neither the skill set nor the knowledge base for any meaningful conversation. Look no further than their social justice warrior godfather Saul Alinsky. His televised “debate” with William F. Buckley turned into shoddy attempts to focus on host’s mannerisms, habits, and motives.

Hugh Hefner: I'm Glad He's Dead

Is that a mean headline? Deal with it. Those were the words coursing through my mind when I learned the Crown Prince peddler of smut had passed away. Well, more specifically, I thought of that one scene in the 1989 version of Batman. Jack Nicholson as the maniacal Joker has a board-room sit-down with the other Gotham crime bosses.

Professional Sports Take a Knee and Take a Dive

Last week, I was getting my car tuned for a long road trip. The car shop owner told his buddies how fed up he was with the politicking that has taken over the NFL. "I just want to watch the game. I don't want to hear the politics. I want to see them play."

WINNING!: The "Dreamers" Become the Democratic Party's Nightmare

During the past week, I pressed through the upset over the purported reports that Donald Trump was bending, weaving, contorting, caving (whatever) on amnesty. Was he going to strike a deal with the Democrats to get border security, then grant legal status to illegals fleeing the shadows of Obama’s DACA?

The Big Business/Amnesty RINO Parade Must Be Purged from the Republican Party. How?

On at least one point Bernie-crats and conservative Republicans agree: corporations should not get hand-outs, bail-outs, or easy outs from their bad decisions. Big Business should not have the right to push laws and regulations which help them get rich, but impoverish poor and working Americans

Country Club vs. Counter-Culture Republicans

Why the fight among Republicans has become contentious, and how the GOP Establishment, the country club set which doesn't sweat and never worked outside of a gated community, has been calling many of the shots for the last 16 years.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions: Coming or Going?

Ever since his confirmation as United States Attorney General, I have taunted wayward politicians and sanctuary cities in California: “Jeff Sessions is coming!” Some of my opponents have retorted that Sessions is about to be fired. I say “He’s on fire.”

It Takes a Family--There is No Fiscal Conservatism Without Social Conservatism

The movement among Blue State Republicans is to abandon social issues, or cultural concerns. They are too divisive, and make it more difficult for conservatives to appeal to the "young generation", since most people are more progressive.

The Grassroots: Making We the People Great Again

Voters, pundits, political wonks are in many cases convinced that the ordinary guy on the street cannot fight city hall.

Mr. President, Keep Tweeting-- Happy Fourth of July, Everyone!

A neighbor came up to me yesterday morning What do you think of President Trump's Tweets?" He asked me.
