Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan are flogging Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi at every opportunity for being obstructionists and for wanting to shut the government down. (The truth is that only about 83% of the government actually shuts down when the government “shuts down”, which is why I’ve put the phrase in quotation marks. Social […]
Last Thursday, it is alleged, President Donald Trump referred to certain third world countries as dung holes. In context, he wanted to know why Democrats insist on accepting immigrants exclusively from places of poverty and ignorance, where the governments are cesspools of corruption and the streets are open sewers. Trump did not have to wait […]
Some may ask, what is the Fourth Estate and what does it have to do with our freedom? The term “fourth estate” has various definitions. Some refer to it as the guardian of democracy or defender of the public interest, and it is generally referred to as the newspaper or mass media profession. When our […]

President Trump’s political adversaries, whether establishment Republicans or Democrats, are apoplectic at his pardon of Sheriff Joe Arpaio. Arpaio instructed his deputies to check the immigration status of anyone who was stopped for a traffic violation, and hand over any illegals they encountered to Border Patrol. Arpaio had a legal duty, according to federal and […]
The ongoing battle between gay rights and religious liberty escalated Thursday as husband-and-wife bakers in Oregon appealed their case after being ordered to pay $135,000 in damages for declining to make a cake for a same-sex wedding. “Everything up to this point has been administrative hearings,” Aaron Klein, co-owner with his wife Melissa of the […]
I am dismayed at the lack of legal insight exhibited by the vast majority of commentators in their examination of President’s Trump’s executive order restricting the entry of certain classes of aliens into our country.
