Americans should all be celebrating the long-overdue demise of the Roe and Casey decisions. It has been long noted that the Roe decision was considered to be judicial activism by the Supreme Court since the Constitution says nothing about abortion. The 1973 court simply created the idea as legal fiction. In undoing Roe, the Court kicked the issue back to […]

President Trump prioritizes Christian Syrian refugees
Donald Trump’s prioritizing of Christian Syrian refugees over Muslim Syrian refugees has some people flustered and confused. But what he has done is both the highest moral good and what is best for America at the same time. This is in keeping with his America First campaign promise (to do what is best for America) and a reversal of the […]
Read moreWhy I am unimpressed with the Women’s March
Having watched portions of the Women’s March on television and Internet, I remain unmoved by it. The leaders were vile and vulgar. Ashley Judd and Madonna particularly disgraced themselves. “Hanoi Jane” Fonda is never a welcomed sight and yet she was on the screen. All three women had their own scurrilous comments about President Trump. They were cheerleaders for the […]
Read moreProtests Vindicate Trump
Smashing a police car, climbing traffic lights, waving Mexican flags, and bloodying a Trump supporter. Protesters in California simply vindicated everything that Donald Trump and Ann Coulter have been saying about the illegal immigration problem. There was violence, lawlessness, and intimidation where these protesters went. Seventeen people were arrested from the crowd of about two-hundred. If it were not enough […]
Read moreTrump and Transgendered Bathrooms
After a few days off, the quote-a-coaster that is Donald Trump hit a high-speed downhill and then a couple of loops today. As with a lot of things he says, a certain amount of hysteria has popped up around it. The common take on it is that Trump opposes the North Carolina bathroom law. In reviewing his comments at the […]
Read moreIs Donald Trump a Conservative?
“Donald Trump is not a conservative!” That was probably the most prominent accusation that drew me to a meager defense of Donald Trump. It seemed so obvious that it was a false accusation which could be easily refuted. After all, the things he spoke about – illegal immigration, cutting taxes, job creation, eliminating government departments – these have been constant […]
Read moreRigged Primaries
Rigged. That is the charge made by Donald Trump regarding the Colorado delegate assignments. Is he right? Of course he is. The GOP primary system is rigged to favor the party establishment as much as possible. The only thing different about this election cycle from previous ones is that people are able to see the sausage being made. Normally states […]
Read moreMegyn Kelly and Donald Trump Meet
According to Megyn Kelly’s comments on her show last night, she initiated a meeting with Donald Trump in order to “clear the air” between them. She hoped it would lead to an interview in the future. For his part, on Hannity tonight, Trump said it was a “very nice” meeting. He seemed content that things had gone well but offered […]
Read morePrimary Problems
Millions more Americans than ever before are paying attention to the Republican primary this election cycle. Because of the scrutiny, flaws in the system are coming to light. Actually, they are only flaws according to voters not according to the party apparatus. To them, they are simply The System. Even though I have followed politics since at least the Ronald […]
Read moreGOP Rule 40 Confusion
So far there has been a lot of confusion as to how the GOP rules for the potential contested convention work. Listening to Sean Hannity last night it seemed pretty clear that he thinks that Rule 40(b) requires that a candidate get a majority of the votes in eight of the state primaries that are taking place. I’ve heard some […]
