PRIMARIES: Trump Endorsed Candidates’ HUGE Night

By

There’s no doubt the power of the Trump endorsement is HUGE based on the 23 wins it helped secure. All in all, it was a big day for President Trump.

Guns and Money: Learn from Ukraine and Get Yours Today

By

Do you have enough guns and money? If you answered no, or that you're not sure, you should learn from the experience of Ukrainians who, upon being attacked by Russia, quickly understood how having enough of both guns and money meant the difference between life and death. I posted this for you back in February: With so many unknowns about Russia's invasion of Ukraine, what is clear is that having an armed citizenry works in street-to-street combat. Before getting into the devastating potential for a Russian nuclear attack, let’s focus on self-defense. Because it is pride for one's home … [Read more...]

FORMULA SHORTAGE: Bare Shelves Biden Has NO Answers

By

What is "Bare Shelves Joe Biden" doing about formula shortages? The Biden administration has presided over shortages of all sorts of things, but perhaps the scariest is the current shortage of baby formula that keeps the youngest Americans alive. Fox News reports: Two top Republican lawmakers, who are also mothers, are demanding the Biden administration's Food and Drug Administration (FDA) take swift steps to address the nationwide shortage of baby formula, saying the panic that families are currently feeling is "unacceptable." House Republican Conference Chair Elise Stefanik, … [Read more...]

The Tale of Two Tax Plans

By

On the day Joe Biden moved into the White House, America's tax plan was pro-growth, and working well, despite COVID-19. In The Wall Street Journal, Tyler Goodspeed and Kevin Hassett from the Hoover Institution explain that the 2017 Tax Reform pushed through by President Trump has delivered on its promises. They write: As Karl Popper demonstrated, evaluating a scientific proposition requires falsifiability—theories or hypotheses can’t be proved or disproved if they can’t be subjected to empirical tests. When the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was passed, we were criticized for being overly … [Read more...]

Progressives Don’t Want Seattle’s Worst Criminals Prosecuted

By

In November 2021, the normally progressive residents of Seattle elected Republican Ann Davison as their new city attorney because they'd had enough of the soft-on-crime actions of woke leadership. The city's progressive-run council immediately began tying her hands to prevent her from prosecuting criminals. Davison is working to undo the mistakes of the past City Attorney, but the city's bureaucracy is standing in her way. The WSJ reports: Lowe’s employees came to recognize William Piccone by his skinny jeans, distinctive gait and posture—and his prolific shoplifting, police say. Over a … [Read more...]

Trump’s Endorsement Still Very Strong

By

As the 2022 primaries unfold, one big question for political analysts was, does Trump still have power in the GOP? So far, it appears the answer is a resounding "yes." The Washington Examiner reports that not only is Trump's endorsement strong, it's far superior to Joe Biden's. The power of Trump's endorsement was on display in the come-from-behind win of JD Vance in Ohio. Paul Bedard writes: Democrats have a mixed reaction to the value of a candidate endorsement from President Joe Biden, but that’s not the case for Republicans when former President Donald Trump weighs in. According to the … [Read more...]

A Win for JD Vance Is a Bigger Win for Trump’s America

By

Congratulations to JD Vance on his primary win last night. Vance came from behind in the polls to secure a win propelled by an endorsement from Donald Trump. This could be the shot heard around the world. Right now, strategists, especially Republican ones, are realizing this: The slick, smooth-talking politician is dead. Don’t even think about going that route for the midterms. We’ve had enough of the Romneys and the Obama-like-smooth-talkers. It’s truly embarrassing how they talk. It’s time to get down to business. The business of America is business. Period. Trump has always led with a … [Read more...]
