“We’re not going to make America great again; it was never that great,” opined Gov. Andrew Cuomo last week in New York. Taking exception to Cuomo’s rather contentious remarks is Zalena Zito in the Washington Examiner: It was a line meant to take on his nemesis, President Trump, and his signature “Make America Great Again” […]
MSM – the Enemy of the American People?
Mainstream media outlets have become increasingly biased in how they cover the news, as well as how they decide what to cover. If it doesn’t meet the liberal narrative, it will not be covered.

Among our favorite Harley Vermont back road rides has been traveling north on Rt. 30 from the Dorset Inn, where we have stayed countless times through the years (going back to when Sissy Hicks was the chef/owner), to the unparalleled setting of Middlebury, Vermont.

Fix Income Disparity: Ship the Wealthy to Venezuela
Originally posted on April 17, 2018. Is income inequality in the U.S. a “staggering problem” and, as President Obama called it in 2014, the “defining challenge of our time,” asks Francis Menton in the Manhattan Contrarian.

You probably thought the media’s latest darling, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, was the youngest congressional female candidate.

What Exactly Is the Value of a $300,000 BU Education?
Recently the (liberal) Washington Post fact-checked some of the claims of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the new socialist candidate for Congress in New York.

The Vindication of Justice Clarence Thomas
With the Left’s continuing primal screams and desperation tactics, Steven Hayward, reckons that something more fundamental is going on: “the growing vindication of the constitutional originalism of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.” Liberals have always dismissed Thomas as simply Scalia’s wingman, though no one who actually read with any care their separate opinions, concurrences, and […]
Government at Its Worst for the People
Epitomizing what is wrong in our nation’s capital, “only take the Metro if you have no other option,” is D.C.’s unofficial slogan, reports a senior editor of The Federalist.
