Once again, over the weekend, President Donald Trump was the victim of an assassination attempt. This time, the President was playing golf and was shot at by a man named Ryan Wesley Routh. The Wall Street Journal's editorial board explains: One question is how Mr. Routh knew Mr. Trump would be golfing on Sunday at that course and how he knew where he could set up to target the former President. All the more so after 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks was allowed to shoot at Mr. Trump from a rooftop about 400 feet from where the former President was on stage in Butler, Pa. The country is … [Read more...]
Dershowitz Decries “Hard Left” Hijacking of Democratic Party
In The New York Sun, longtime Democrat Alan Dershowitz decries the party's hijacking by the "hard left" and explains his reasons for leaving it after so many decades. He writes: I have been a loyal Democrat since the mid-1950s when I worked for local Democratic candidates at Brooklyn. Since 1960 I have voted for every Democratic presidential candidate. The Democratic party I have supported for nearly 70 years, though, has now been hijacked by the hard-left. Though the vast majority of Democratic voters and elected officials remain centrist and moderate on most issues, its leaders have … [Read more...]
A Word on the Trump/Harris Dystopian Debate
We knew going in that former President Donald Trump would not get a fair shake from ABC, but it felt like we were watching a trial from The Hunger Games without the costumes. Vice President Kamala Harris was treated like the incumbent and heir to the throne by the moderators. The primetime show was borderline unwatchable because of the media bias. What did we learn last night? If you’re undecided, were you swayed either way? We know what we’re getting with both candidates. We know the history already. You can see the economies of both right here. We know what the Biden/Harris … [Read more...]
Wealthy Young Americans Are Fleeing High Tax States
You know them as Your Survival Guy's Escape States. These are states like California, Illinois, and New York, where income earners are treated like piggy banks to be withdrawn from in order to fund politicians' ideological spending ideas. Residents aren't treated like customers to be served by government, they're expected to serve government through punitive taxation. Young people have figured this out. The Wall Street Journal's editorial board reports that wealthy young Americans are fleeing high tax states, creating brain drain and heading to states where their dollars are respected. The … [Read more...]
Biden Admits to False Advertising
Joe Biden has finally admitted to what everyone who was paying attention already knew. The so-called "Inflation Reduction Act" had nothing to do with inflation and everything to do with making Biden's "Green New Deal" palatable to Americans looking for relief at the gas pump and grocery stores. While Americans suffered to buy the essentials, the Biden-Harris administration pushed through their radical climate agenda to reward favored "green" industries and special interests, all the while telling Americans the actions would reduce inflation. Nick Gilbertson of Breitbart reports on Biden's … [Read more...]
What Causes School Shootings? Join the Discussion
Originally posted May 23, 2018. My friend Tim Jones, a.k.a. the Stissing Mountain Man, who I profiled for you last month, has a unique take on school shootings. Tim asked on his Facebook feed, what has changed at schools? In the 70s, when he attended, students would bring their guns to school and store them in their lockers until they went hunting after classes were over. There weren't any school shootings then. Nowadays, things have changed. Here is what he wrote: Ok, so I’m 60 years old. When I grew up there was a gun or more on a gun rack in most trucks in the high school parking … [Read more...]
BE PREPARED: Politicians Won’t Protect You
It is becoming increasingly obvious that certain politicians have no intention of protecting their citizens from violence. In the Denver suburb of Aurora, citizens are fearful because the sanctuary city policies Denver politicians have put in place have encouraged the Venezuelan prison gang, Tren de Aragua, to set up shop next door. Along with their presence has come violence and mayhem in Aurora and the surrounding area. Jennie Taer reports in the NY Post: An official in the Denver suburb of Aurora is fed up with leaders in her state for allowing sanctuary policies that rolled out the … [Read more...]
Bill Belichick Tackles “Taxachusetts”
The New England Patriots have a problem, and it's not the roster or the new coaching staff. It's "Taxachusetts." On a recent episode of the Pat McAfee Show, where Bill Belichick has joined as a contributor, the former Patriots coach explained how difficult it is for the Patriots to win top talent since Massachusetts imposed a millionaires surtax on their earnings. The Wall Street Journal's editorial staff report on the exchange: For the latest evidence that state tax policy influences taxpayer decisions, take a look at the National Football League. On Monday former New England Patriots coach … [Read more...]
State Tax Changes 2024: The Good the Bad and the Ugly
You don't elect politicians to allow them to take your money and use it on their priorities. You elect politicians to efficiently achieve the goals of constituents with as little taxation as possible. Some states get it, some don't. At National Review, Chris Edwards gives you an update on how states did in 2024's legislative season in regard to taxation. He writes: Republican-led states have focused on cutting individual- and corporate-income taxes, which is the best way to spur investment and job creation. According to the upcoming Cato Institute Governors’ Report Card, between 2021 and … [Read more...]
No Respect for Gun Rights at the DNC
In the party platform released at the DNC by Kamala Harris & Co., there's no respect for gun rights, and no mention of the Second Amendment. Like Rodney Dangerfield, your rights get "no respect." Jacob Sullum reports in Reason: While this year's Republican Party platform makes only a passing reference to Second Amendment rights, the platform approved at the Democratic National Convention this week does not mention them at all. But it does include eight references to "gun safety" and a section that brags about the Biden administration's accomplishments in this area while laying out an … [Read more...]
