A mentally unstable man kills six, injuring more and, no surprise, the left wing uses the ‘crisis’ to write and shout that it is the fault of the right wing. The list of those making such attacks is extensive. It makes one suspect collusion. I hate to join in the fray, but it needs addressed. […]
~ A large number of Americans believe that less productive people deserve more and that more productive people deserve less. If that weren’t true, politicians like Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Charles Schumer and Patrick Leahy couldn’t get elected dog-catcher, much less to Congress. ~ Is it possible to sell our fellow citizens on the virtues […]
With Republicans taking control of the U.S. House of Representatives this week, the legislative agenda for the body will begin to take shape under the direction of Speaker Boehner and other prominent committee chairmen and ranking members.

The soon to be introduced South Carolina FairTax Act eliminates the state’s 7% personal income tax (which most small businesses also pay), the 5% corporate income tax, […]
President Barack Obama earlier this month signed a $1.25 billion check to black farmers who have allegedly been victims of past wrongdoings by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). The settlement apparently solves a string of so-called unfair loan policies and cash advances info that occurred over 20 years ago. Here comes the record […]
