 President Donald Trump elicited predictable howls of criticism – from both the left and right -- with a recent claim asserting presidential supremacy over the states and their governors in the midst of the Covid-19 crisis. Suddenly, far-left Governors like the...

America’s tax system is a mess. It’s a hodgepodge of thousands of rules, regulations, and laws that are constantly changing according to the whims of whichever group of politicians is in charge in Washington, D.C. on any given day. Taxes are cut, taxes are raised, new...

When the COVID-19 pandemic eventually passes ( and it will ), we will need  to take a serious look at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ( CDC ) and its role in the crisis as well as the CDC’s relationship with the World Health Organization ( WHO ). In...

  A recent newspaper headline in a rural county in Central California blared the following: “Local virus casualty was a beloved cowboy.” Any reader would immediately draw the conclusion that COVID-19 killed 60-year old Ken Machado of San Benito County. Yet, when...

They tried Russia.  They tried the Steele dossier. They tried emoluments. They tried the 25th Amendment. They tried Ukraine. They tried impeachment. The globalist elites and their handmaidens in the Democrat Party establishment and the kept press have tried every...
