No More Humbugs by the Left

As Ebenezer Scrooge said in Charles Dickens Novel “A Christmas Carol” HUMBUG defined in Webster’s dictionary as something designed to deceive or mislead, often referring to a person who is insincere or fraudulent.

Why is America so Polarized & Divided?

What is the Cost of Illegal Immigration?

As we hear the cry from many Americans about how unaffordable America is, we need to ask ourselves how this came about.

Authoritarian My Butt: Stop Your Complaining

Trump is going to the root causes of the progressive power and they are scared to death that he will be successful in his efforts to turn the clock back and make Americans aware of just how the left, with the assistance of their media moguls, have divided our country. We hear the cry from […]

Wilder Gambling Bust, Quatar comes to Idaho, and a New Casino?

I spent most of my weekend staying out of the rain and watching videos of the lefty Lonnies who have been marching in various Blue cities at the “No Kings Rallies”, chanting and dancing dressed as everything from furry animals to the Statue of Liberty.
