Saturday setback
Yeah, you can count on it – whenever there is an election that isn’t a Democratic landslide, we hear the predictable calls to eliminate the Electoral College, ‘cuz it isn’t working for our democracy. Go find that word in the Constitution. We’ll wait (at least till you leave the room, and then we’ll talk about […]
Pete Hegseth: Allowing Gays in military a part of Marxist agenda
Robert Tait of The Guardian took issue with Pete Hegseth’s beliefs regarding gays openly serving. Hegseth described this move as part of a Marxist agenda and to cater to social justice at the expense of combat effectiveness. Hegseth pointed to the repeal of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell as paving the way for transgenders to serve […]

Whoever would have thought sanctions would work… The NCRI is sounding the alarm that at least three companies in Iran, including the Kaveh Mobadel Industrial Co., also known as Kaveh Machinery Co. (KMC), Sanaye […]

Here is one of the best ones: Schumer and the Democrats tried to kill the filibuster […]
Recent awards
I see a couple of recent awards in the news. Harriet Tubman was named a Brigadier General in the Maryland National Guard this Veteran’s Day for actions during the Civil War. Tubman escaped slavery herself in 1849 and settled in Philadelphia. Intent on helping others achieve freedom, she established the Underground Railroad network and led […]
