More Gun Control Equals More Crime in Colorado

By

On NRATV’s show Cam & Co., host Cam Edwards explains the failure of Colorado’s expansion of gun control under Governor John Hickenlooper. Edwards notes that Hickenlooper and other gun control advocates like Sen. Cory Booker are running for president. Despite the evidence that these gun control measures do nothing, the radicals in the Democrat Party seem bent on enacting them to punish law abiding gun owners. Anyone with the ability to do so should get their guns and their training now.

One of the more misunderstood components of compound interest is time. Everyone understands the rate of return.

Harris’s Anti-Constitution Pattern

Kamala Harris: No Essential Mission

In The Wall Street Journal, Peggy Noonan offers a blistering takedown of Kamala Harris’s “politics of joy” at a time in which so many Americans are suffering the consequences of the Biden/Harris administration’s mismanagement of the country.

How You Know If You’re Spending Too Much

JD Vance Wins Debate Over Weak Harris Administration

JD Vance clearly won last night’s debate. It wasn’t even close. He looked into the camera and explained to Americans the problems with the “Harris Administration”—the administration that’s been M.I.A on Main Street. Walz was overmatched, apologizing for misspeaking about trips abroad like he’s the lead player in “Where’s Waldo?” And the moderators acted like […]

America Needs Reliable Energy

Thanks to the Harris Administration, which would power the country with windmills and solar, America is low on reliable energy sources.
