Lawn Signs Predicted Astounding Trump Presidential Victory
Originally posted November 9, 2016. Our summer-long, twenty-day lawn sign poll from our first day on the road caught the tone of American voters. (Read here, here, here, here and here).

Paleo (old ) Conservative America
The label Paleo-Conservative does not jump out at most Americans. What does Paleo-Conservative mean and why do I believe that a big percentage of Americans can relate to Paleo-Conservative thinking in direct opposition to progressive, Democrat thought or neocon-based Republican thinking? American Conservative (published by my friend John Basil Utley) contributor Rod Dreher in the […]
Conflict Between Democratic Sovereignty and Transnational Progressivism (Globalism)
