If America is to avoid bankruptcy and preserve the civil liberties of its citizens, then the citizens must use the power of the constitution to restrain its government. Too many have embraced the idea that government power should not only provide safety from foreign threats, but also personal threats of poor health, poverty, offense, and […]

Obama’s National Monument Land Grab
Throughout his time in office, Obama has implemented unconstitutional environmental policies by abusing his executive powers–including the Antiquities Act (which Roosevelt signed into law in 1906 to set aside public land for conservation). His actions have been largely applauded by environmentalists but criticized by some conservatives for placing too much land under federal control. Most […]
Stop Hidden Medicare Subsidy Paid By Every American
Your act of protest can help fix the broken health-care system and improve Medicare billing. America is in denial about the depth and breadth of the problems with its health-care system. While there is much discussion of rescinding the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), there is nothing being discussed as a substitute that begins to address […]
Facebook Mounts Effort to Limit Tide of Fake News
For weeks, Facebook has been questioned about its role in spreading fake news. Now the company has mounted its most concerted effort to combat the problem.

The Fake News Scare Is, Itself, Fake News
Don’t worry about fake news. The whole scare is, itself, fake news. Don’t believe a word of it. Could it be that the news media is still trying to distract us from their own poor performance?

The Electoral College Is Anything But Outdated
The outrage from Hillary Clinton supporters came immediately: Donald Trump might have won the Electoral College, but he appears to have lost the popular vote. This was said to be a violation of democracy, one that defied the principle of “one man, one vote.” A Yale professor slandered the Founders by telling the website Vox […]
Election Rioters Supported by Media
So much for the slogan “Love Trumps Hate!” – actions speak louder than slogans. Rioting over an election sounds more like a third world response than the United States of America. In over 200 years of elections, there hasn’t been rioters over a lost election. Worse yet the media has continued to foment, and even applaud […]
Media Guilty of Bias for Profits
While the election is over the media bias on issues and ideology will continue–even increase. The media is a company that exists on profits and the more division among America’s the more profits! Not only is the media guilty of bias for profit, just as any other biased group it uses code words to create […]
