What a great platform going into the 2018 midterms: “vote for us! We’ll raise your taxes!” (The Hill) Democrats are vowing to undo parts of the GOP’s tax-code overhaul if they win back control of the House in November, hoping President Trump’s first major domestic achievement will be a liability for the Republicans in the […]

Of course they do. And once Trump and the non-squishy Republicans agree to narrowing the focus, Democrats will demand that border security be cut and a “clean” bill be passed (Washington Post) Lawmakers in both parties said Sunday that the immigration debate should focus narrowly on efforts to legalize young immigrants known as “dreamers†and […]

Trump's position on climate change is pathetic and an embarrassment to the world. We must fight back.

It’s long been a dirty, quiet secret: Democrats really do not care about illegal aliens. What they do care about is using them as a political weapon, and, possibly getting them the ability to vote. But, caring about them as people? Only so far as to patronize them to earn their support. Here’s Elizabeth Foley […]

Let’s see: a piece of legislation passed by the Constitutionally elected Legislative Branch, signed by the duly and Constitutionally elected President. The only thing in the Constitution about taxation is that the federal government can have one. And this is what a few #resist weenies want to do (Washington Post) The governors of New York, […]

Democrats just do not get that Trump is not your typical patsy Republican. When you attack him, he won’t wilt. When you make political threats, he won’t back down. Instead, he comes back harder. Republicans do not need DACA. They don’t have to do it. They don’t have to find some pathway to legalization for […]
