The Democrats have a Bernie Problem

2/25/2020
Bernie Sanders wasn't supposed to be a problem. After nominating Hillary Clinton as their candidate in 2016, the DNC made serious changes to their process in an effort to appease Sanders and get him to support Clinton in the general election. Believing Hillary would win and that Sanders would be too to old the next time the Democrat presidential field was open again, the DNC happily made the deal. Then it all fell apart. Trump won and Sanders is back and stronger than ever. He is leading the...

Part 2: The American Dream

9/4/2019
The current state of American political discourse has resulted in the conflation of our illegal and legal immigration issues in the minds of many. Yet these two groups have very little in common. To associate the two is to diminish the hard work, obedience and patience of so many who seek to obtain the American dream the right way.
