The Shunning of Deplorables

Early in my life I became aware of the cowardly act of “shunning”. I lived with my Quaker Grandparents in Swarthmore Pa. for 5 years as my father was deployed to Korea and Japan during the Korean War. My mother worked at the Naval Hospital in Philadelphia, so my grandmother became my surrogate mother. Most […]

Hail, Kamala, Queen of the Libs

We have finally been introduced to our newly anointed Democratic Presidential nominee who got this new position because the big players in the Democratic party figured out that it would be impossible for Joe Biden to win against Trump.

Were you surprised by President Joe Biden’s announcement that he would not be running for reelection? I know many people expected something like that, yet it was strange to see it happen in real time.

Democratic Lawfare Alive and Well in Wisconsin

The Soldier’s Creed is “Never leave a fallen comrade.” The Democrat Party’s lawfare against President Donald J. Trump was unjust, anti-democratic, and obvious election interference. But President Trump had the means to defend himself. However, Trump was not the only target. Following the 2020 election, lawyers were recruited to challenge the election results in the […]

Mr. Burke and Mr. Lincoln

The Progressive wing of the Democratic Party continues its’ unrelenting march of divisiveness. Placing individuals into categories and competing factions has been the modus operandi of Saul Alinsky sycophants since the early 1960’s.
