You can read about Clint Lorance, Matthew Golsteyn, Michael Giles, Anthony Benavides. . . and now you can add to that list: Derrick Miller. Once…
Yes, the slick manipulators of language are at it again. First, it was undocumented workers, but now the leftist socialists have a new name for illegal immigrants in order to advance their ideological agenda. Speaker Nancy Pelosi unveiled it this past weekend, right here, deep in the heart of Texas.As…
Earlier this week, I shared my assessment on the most recent anti-Semitic rant from the Congresswoman of Minnesota, Ilhan Omar. I expressed my sentiments that nothing would come of this, there would be no consequences or ramifications. I never like to say, I told ya so, but doggone. As reported…
This past week and weekend the American Conservative Union put on its annual CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference) just outside of Washington, D.C. at the National Harbor.
