For decades, Democratic leaders have pitched that the US should have a federal wealth tax. The idea is that money should be redistributed from the wealthy to the poor using the tax powers of the federal government. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) has been its strongest proponent, devised a plan, and has for years stated she was coming for the rich. The question I’m asking isn’t a constitutional one but a political one. Do the Democrats know a wealth tax isn’t constitutional? If so, why are they making false promises to their constituents? Many scholars have debated the issue as a…

While we see the failure of the two parties and their erosion of America with our eyes, we are missing context on how to stop them from destroying each other and our country. Today, I take a brutally honest assessment of the two parties and expose how a cancerous philosophical plague that arose in the 1920s threw a wrench in our great experiment known as the United States.

So, if you want a holistic historical context to the mess we find ourselves in, you don’t want to miss this one. Still, all is not without hope.

I strongly believe that identity politics has no part in public education. Still, I explain in today’s video commentary that black history should be taught in schools… without the wokeness of modern times influencing the truth of history. Earlier this week, Gov. Ron DeSantis took flak from the Left for blocking an AP black history course.

In the video, I explain what was in the course that violated state law. Ironically, some Democrats, even African American ones, agreed with him. You won’t hear that in very many places. I’ll share what one person said and offer a contrasting view of why black history should be a staple of public education.

Since 2016, socialism has exploded into the political debate, especially among young people. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) 2016 presidential campaign ignited its appeal among those grieved by the worst aspects of capitalism. By 2018, Democratic Socialists and the Squad burst onto the scene, and the media gave them a lot of air time. They’ve made a career out of bashing wealthy people, many of whom worked hard and sacrificed much to attain their financial freedoms. In December 2021. Gallup showed that the socialist movement has been stable since 2010. It has hovered around 38% approval rating despite Sanders’ constant demagoguing…

For decades, sanctuary cities have proudly touted themselves as a place for unlawful migrants to build a new life and shielded them from federal immigration enforcement. Now, at least one city may be changing its tune after illegal immigrants began acting like entitled Americans instead of thankful guests.

Now, a developing situation in New York City may put the Biden administration in a legal catch-22. Still, the question remains, will citizens of the sanctuary city accept ingratitude?
