Government bureaucrats aren’t exactly known for spending taxpayer money wisely. Sadly, the pandemic has proven no exception—with new studies showing that local governments wasted millions on vaccine lotteries that accomplished…nothing. For example, Ohio implemented a “Vax-a-Million” initiative where it drew weekly lotteries for a $1 million prize among those who got the vaccine. Similar programs…
This Part V of “Can the U.S. Unite, if not, How Does it Divide? discusses the options available to states to restrain the continuing amassment of federal power that diminishes the role of states and citizens in the Union. As discussed in Part IV, our Constitution designates state legislatures as the last guardians of the…
This Part IV of “Can the U.S. Unite? If Not, How Does it Divide?” discusses actions taken by states to resist federal diminishment of state sovereignty. For now, it’s a “civil” Civil War, but if the federal government continues to trample on state sovereignty, the conflict could lose its civility. In just eight months Biden…
Part III of the series “Can the U.S Unite? If not, How Does It Divide?” addresses how the federal government, over a century and a half, amassed power by diminishing state sovereignty.

The tweet read: “Natural immunity >> vaccine immunity So why force or coerce those with natural immunity from prior infection into taking the vaccine?” Retweeting because it's…
The Biden administration confirms it aggressively works with Big Tech “…to flag ‘problematic’ posts “that spread disinformation on Covid-19” on the internet. George Orwell would call such activity propaganda. Historians characterize such a close working relationship between government and big business as fascism. To the Biden administration, it’s merely cleaning up “misinformation”. Whatever the American…
Since shortly after the Biden administration took office, and the president welcomed illegals into this country without any legal process, members of Congress have publicly complained the Department of Homeland Security (“DHS”) has been “dumping,” without notice or consultation, illegal aliens in small towns throughout the U.S., e.g., Gila Bend, AZ, Brownsville, TX, Chattanooga, TN….
“Virtue Signaling” describes “…the act of showing support of doing something ‘virtuous’ because it makes you look good to your peers, rather than because you truly believe it.” While virtue signaling is part of the DNA in most organizations and cable news, it is front and center in Congress. Unfortunately, members of Congress find greater…
Imagine for a moment that you’re in a verbal disagreement that turns into a physical altercation. You were not the one who initiated it. The other party punches you once in the gut. Sure, it hurt. Now, you’re filled with rage. Your adrenaline is flowing like whitewater. There’s anger in your face and fire in…
