Paying For A Brick In The Wall

December 20, 2018December 20, 2018 Janice Barlow

By Janice Barlow A FEW DAYS AGO, several people came up with an emotion driven idea that, since there would be no wall built by our tax dollars, why not create an account to contribute more money to, in order to fund President Trump‘s border wall between the United States and Mexico? Thus, a gofundme account was born. It was started by Veteran Brian Kolfage, an amputee and Purple Heart recipient. And in the first three days, over a million dollars was donated by close to 50,000 people to this…

by Richard Cameron The White House meeting in the Oval Office involving President Trump, House Minority leader (soon to be Majority leader and Speaker once again) Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority leader Chuck Schumer, unraveled in short order into something neither Trump nor White House staff had anticipated. Mike Pence did sit in on the little get together, but was a seat warmer and made Justice Clarence Thomas seem like a chatterbox in comparison. In other words, not a syllable escaped the Vice President’s mouth before or after Trump’s…

The First Amendment Is Being Smothered Right Under Your Nose

November 21, 2018November 21, 2018 Janice Barlow

By Janice Barlow DOES FREEDOM OF SPEECH START at the top or at the bottom? Are we encased in a cocoon as mindless followers because we have become so jaded to what we should be standing up for? In this article, I will point to three specific examples of what is happening right under our collective noses in this country and how you, by your silence are acquiescing and allowing speech to be stifled. Let’s start with the Press: Jim Acosta, while displaying reporter-like aggressive behavior, was behaving…

The USMCA Isn’t A Great Deal, It Is A Protectionist Tax On Consumers

by Tony Wyman If what you were hoping for after President Trump threw out the North American Free Trade Agreement between the United States, Canada and Mexico was a real step forward towards freeing business from government intrusion, you will be sorely disappointed. What we got, instead, is what we always get from big government politicians who believe more regulation is better regulation. Instead of being “the most important trade deal we’ve ever made, by far,“ as President Trump bombastically claimed after Canada signed the new deal, what we really…

The Four Reasons Trump’s Supporters Will Never Abandon Him

by Tony Wyman Trump’s supporters will never abandon him His supporters know he’s a liar. They know he cheated on every one of his three wives, that he deceived the First Lady with a porn star, who he later bribed to stay quiet. They know his relationship with Russia, his affection for dictators and his contempt for the rule of law should scare the daylights out of everyone who loves liberty. And they know that he has no loyalty to anyone but himself. But they still love him. Yes, Donald…

by Tony Wyman Assad will remain in control of Syria – Missile strikes or not President Trump rightly called Syrian dictator Bashar Al-Assad a monster. That is precisely what the tyrant is, an evil man with no conscience who deserves to meet a bloody end at the hands of his own people. While last night’s strikes degraded his ability, we’ve been told, to use chemical weapons such as Chlorine gas, to murder more helpless children in his country, it did nothing at all to remove Mr. Assad from power. What…

Tariffs – Retuning Another Engine that isn’t Broken

March 8, 2018 Janice Barlow

By Janice Barlow “Many people want the government to protect the consumer. A much more urgent problem is to protect the consumer from the government” – Milton Friedman AS OUR NATION ROLLS ALONG, it seems that not a day goes by without some new drama hitting the airwaves from Washington. If it isn’t someone being fired or resigning, it’s a knee-jerk reaction to a horrific event, like modifying the Second Amendment because of a school shooting in Parkland, Florida, or a tweet-storm from the Commander-in-Chief about North Korea. We…

Schrodinger’s Cat And Trump’s Potty Mouth

January 12, 2018January 12, 2018 Oletta Branstiter

by Oletta Branstiter “Shithole Countries” On Thursday, the Washington Post was the first to report the accusation by Senator Dick Durbin (D – IL) that during a bipartisan legislative meeting on immigration, President Trump said, “Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?” The President was referring to what he considers the bad policy of a lottery program to accept immigrants from Haiti, El Salvador, and Honduras. He says he prefers a merit-based immigration program. According to The Guardian, He claimed without specifics or evidence that the…

Resolutions For Restoring Our Republic

January 1, 2018 Oletta Branstiter

by Oletta Branstiter In 2017, America resolved to curb the Progressive movement. Reflecting back to 2017, President Trump accomplished much better policies than Hillary Clinton would have wrought! This article proves it: Year One List: 81 major Trump achievements, 11 Obama legacy items repealed Americans are not content with better. We strive for what is best. The United States dodged a disaster when we rejected Hillary Clinton and her Progressive agenda to occupy the White House. The American voters recognized that the Obama era had fractured our Republic. In…

Nixing the F-Bomb in 2018

December 29, 2017 Janice Barlow

By Janice Barlow A NOTEWORTHY RESOLUTION for all upstanding people of faith and otherwise, would be to remove the offensive “f-bomb” from their vocabularies in the upcoming new year. However, this is much more difficult than one would believe; more difficult even, than a diet. Incorporating something as simple as a word into one’s everyday speech until it has become a habit is almost like breathing. People often say something without realizing that they have verbalized it. Take, for instance, the word “like“. As a teenager, I was reprimanded countless…
