Democrats running for office are once again coming up with proposals that can only be described as “buying votes.” This week Bernie Sanders unveiled a proposal where unpaid medical bills will be assumed by the Federal government and they will attempt to negotiate a payment to the provider or insurance company. At what point does… Continue reading Free Stuff for Everybody and No One Has To Pay
Justice Kavanaugh I have been closely watching the situation surrounding the New York Times and Justice Brett Kavanaugh. It has developed into a food fight between the reporters and the editors, but one thing remains very apparent. The report left out some very critical details.

We are now $22 trillion… Continue reading THE BIGGEST PROBLEM FACING OUR NATION IS RIGHT IN FRONT OF US AND IT IS THE NATIONAL DEFICIT
There seems to be a growing sense among the left in this nation that not only is America not great now but never was great. This week former Attorney General Eric Holder appeared on MSNBC this past Wednesday evening and during an interview and made some comments that baffle me. His comment came in response… Continue reading America is Great and Always Will Be Great
