Yesterday, newly elected governor Gavin Newsom surprised Californians by announcing the end of plans for the high-speed train that would have linked San Fran to SoCa. “Let’s be real, the current project as planned would cost too much and, respectfully, take too long. Right now, there simply isn’t a path to get from Sacramento to […]

Democrats Never Wanted to Vote on the Green New Deal
In the sort of sly stroke of Senate genius he is known for, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has decided to quickly hold a vote on the resolution known as the “Green New Deal.” The resolution, championed by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and sponsored in the Senate by Massachusetts Senator Ed Markey contains a litany of outrageous […]
When You Get OLD, Things Have to Be RIGHT
It all started for Chuck Berry on 21 May 1955 with Chuck’s simple three-chord–Bb, Eb7, F7 (played in A by many guitarists for ease)–recording of Maybellene, an adaption of “Ida Red,” with Jerome Green on maracas, Johnnie Johnson on piano, Jasper Thomas on drums, and the legendary Willie Dixon on bass. By the end of […]
Protection While Traveling in France
I do not travel without personal defense preparation. Ever. Over two decades and 100,000 miles on a Harley-Davidson motorcycle, thousands of miles traveling between Key West and Newport, and thousands more miles of international travel over the last decade, I’ve learned a lot of lessons. Be aware at all times of your environment. Sounds simple, […]
In El Paso, Trump Trashes Democrats’ Extreme Calls for Open Borders
In his first 2020 campaign rally speech, President Trump lambasted Democrats who seem not only to be arguing against his proposals for strengthening the border, but in fact seem to be arguing for weakened border security.

Stopping Drug Trafficking at the Border?
California’s Governor Gavin Newsom announced Monday his plans for pulling most of the National Guard troops from the Mexican border so as not to partake in the “absurd theatrics” of President Trump’s border security. Not surprising, during the press conference, Newsom focused not much on the crisis at the border but more on his own […]
Should Police Check Your Social Media Before Approving a Gun Sale?
It isn’t often that gun rights advocates and the ACLU come together in opposition of a government plan, but an attempt by Illinois legislators has put the two civil rights organizations on the same side. In Illinois, legislators want to give police the ability to read through citizens’ social media history before allowing them to […]
The Green New Deal: Longest Suicide Note in History
Democrats running for president who have signed on to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s “Green New Deal” are taking their own political lives into their hands. Pat Buchanan calls the Green New Deal “the longest suicide note in history.” He writes at The American Conservative (abridged): After reading an especially radical platform agreed upon by the British Labor […]
Hungary’s Viktor Orban Leads the Way Against Mideast and North African Migration
In The American Conservative, Scott McConnell examines the efforts of Eastern European countries, led by Hungary’s Prime Minister, Viktor Orban, to slow or stop the flow of illegal migrants into Europe. When German Chancellor Angela Merkel unilaterally declared the borders of Europe to be open, inviting in a million migrants to the continent, Orban and […]
“Sandy” aka AOC – Republicans Secret 2020 Weapon?
“Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is, at 16 syllables, a mouthful,” writes Kevin Williams in NRO. The day before yesterday, she was “Sandy,” a pleasant-seeming young woman who liked to dance, worked in a bar, worried about her family, and chafed that her advantages and elite education left her struggling, obscure, and unsatisfied.
