Standing with the Freedom Caucus

2 April 2017 | Filed under: Political Commentary

The Freedom Caucus threw a wrench in the Republican plans to repeal Obamacare and replace it with Obamacare-lite, the AHCA. President Trump has called them out on it. But I stand with the Freedom Caucus because they understand what freedom means. Karen Turner at Vox did an interview with Sherri …

On Board with TrumpCare!

12 March 2017 | Filed under: Political Commentary

Health care and particularly health insurance in America is a complicated affair. The twisted perversion that was Obamacare was foisted on the American public in a party-line vote with little discussion over the several months in which it was being concocted, and while it has led to more people gaining …

The Courage of the White Working Class

27 November 2016 | Filed under: Political Commentary

If the election of Donald Trump has showed us anything, it has showed us the integrity and courage of the white working class. Here is a group of people dedicated to the well-being of the United States of America, and they did not flinch when they had the chance to …

Theranos’ First Amendment Rights Violated

17 July 2016 | Filed under: Political Commentary

Touting the benefits of your blood testing methods; promoting the benefits of your wares for personal use; encouraging the use of particular forms of energy–these and other free speech rights have been attacked and curtailed by overzealous government regulation.

Open Book and a Secure Nation

12 June 2016 | Filed under: Political Commentary

Extraordinary times call for extraordinary solutions. The ISIS-inspired mass shooting in Orlando this morning reminds us of the recent San Bernardino shooting and the resistance that the FBI encountered when Apple refused to cooperate in revealing the contents of the shooters’ phone. This is why we need to support the …

Freedom, Security, and Encryption: A Modest Proposal

10 April 2016 | Filed under: Political Commentary

Freedom, security, and encryption have been on our minds since the terrorist attacks in Brussels, and in San Bernardino, and the FBI’s attempts to coerce Apple into helping unlock the terrorists’ phone. Finding a way through the maze while maintaining accord with our conservative values ofttimes takes some thought. Following …

Alexander Hamilton Finally Gets It Right!

19 March 2016 | Filed under: Political Commentary

In the dispute between the White House and the Senate over whether the Senate should hold hearings on the nomination of Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court, Alexander Hamilton has something to say. Seth Lipsky writing in the NY Post insists that Hamilton’s views on judicial appointments have been vindicated. …

Fundraising: America’s Greatness

22 November 2015 | Filed under: Political Commentary

What are the roots of America’s greatness? Fundraising, long political campaigns, and sensationalist politics. Barack Obama doesn’t understand and appreciate this. As Joe Newby of the Conservative Firing Line so cogently describes, President Obama hates America. as he so aptly demonstrated in a recent speech in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. “It is …

Democracy, Loyalty, and Being Right

11 October 2015 | Filed under: Political Commentary

“They also positively reneged on the implicit deal between a president and his nominees, an unspoken understanding that the nominee knows the general beliefs of the president sending him or her to the Senate and generally agreed with that set of beliefs.” So states Hugh Hewitt, eloquently and insightfully, in …

Citizens United, Hobby Lobby, and Religious Freedom

5 September 2015 | Filed under: Political Commentary
