How long can this last? It’s a serious question deserving of a serious answer. What the data shows us is that the federal government has become a giant insurance company that just happens to do some “government things.” With the continuing explosion of government spending and debt, President Biden is doubling down. Republicans aren’t offering a complete picture as to what they will do either.

Still, if the government doesn’t self-correct, it’s likely to hurt those the most it placed in a state of dependency on it.

Economists are warning that America is in the midst of a wage-price spiral. It’s when workers demand increases in pay due to inflation, businesses respond, and then increase prices to pay for the outlay in new expenses. It’s a pattern that is continuing to repeat, and economists say it’s throwing the country into a wage-price spiral that could last for a long time and exacerbate inflation. The end result may be painful.

What is at the heart of the catch-22?

What are the Core Differences Between Conservative and Liberal Political Philosophy?
I’m taking an honest and objective look at the core differences between conservatism and liberalism. When the contrasts are side-by-side, you can understand the battle lines that are drawn as both political parties seek the power they need from a majority of voters to enact their agendas.

Today, Tamera Lynn Stewart shares how she learned to overcome the challenges of burnout and stress and how she keeps her mental health positive in an intensely political environment.

A simple YouTube search shows results of untold numbers of people who don’t know even three liberties enshrined in the Bill of Rights. Basic things like freedom of religion, speech, or assembly. Regardless, one would think someone who went to law school and is interviewing in front of the US Senate to serve on as a federal district court judge would be able to answer some basic questions about the Constitution. It appears I’m woefully wrong. It’s a stunning…

Next week, President Biden plans to tout his economic success. It may be too soon. Americans have lost significant money due to inflation, job losses are mounting, and trade imbalances are re-appearing. In the latest government data, warning alarms are sounding off. One metric is the worst it’s been since the Great Depression, and other indicators suggest we’re in for a bumpy ride.

Of course, Biden knows what’s coming. So, his public relations tour will try to head off his political troubles. He’ll deflect, blame, and rinse and repeat.

Will it work?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Us7A3IE1Occ Transcript: The Left has wreaked a plague on America. To question them with any semblance of logic or evidence will get you branded as an extremist or conspiracy theorist. If you’re not careful, they’ll even try to cancel you, making it hard to work or live peacefully among your neighbors. Online bullying will be the least of your problems. In 2022, Democrats successfully conned millions of Americans into believing Republicans were a threat to democracy. It’s built on a bed of thorns. For three years, the Left crippled Trump’s presidency and made governing nearly impossible. They perpetrated the lie…

Off the heels of the American Revolution, the United States transformed, almost overnight, into a global sensation. In the first ten years of the Republic, ordinary people moved quickly into the middle and upper classes. More people achieved a higher standard of living than at any other time in world history up to that point. It not only transformed the nation but much of the world. The American Dream was born, and people flocked to the US for two centuries to discover hope, opportunity, and happiness for themselves. American freedom shined as a light on a hill. Now, some Democratic-led…

The political culture is shifting in many parts of the country. In Virginia, Democrats are more and more becoming the party of the rich and corporate America. At the same time, Republicans are more embraced by working Americans. On Tuesday evening, I interviewed Eddie Garcia. He’s running in the US Senate GOP primary race to challenge Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA) in Virginia. Eddie shared his humble beginnings as a hard-working youth and Latino in South Texas, his decorated military career, and why he’s running to represent Virginia in the US Senate. 

Over the last five years, top Democratic leaders have exclaimed from the rooftops that the Trump tax cuts of 2017 were nothing more than a “giveaway to the rich?” Data released by the Treasury Department over the last two years says something very different.

Find out how much record money the corporate tax receipts brought into the Treasury and the problem for the Biden administration and Democrats who want to repeal the 2017 tax cuts. Additionally, if tax receipts are breaking records, why is the national debt continuing to explode at record levels as well? Does something have to give at some point?

There is only one common thing that unites all Americans together. Over the last decade, some have succeeded in achieving a war on high achievement and the American dream that could come with disastrous results for our society, economy, and government. In turn, eroding the first principle of America’s unity.

First, we have to ask, what is the American dream? Then, we can discern how it’s being threatened.

There’s a lot at stake for America heading into the 2024 presidential election. As the clock times down, there is a civil war brewing in the Republican Party. Over the last few months, Trump has tried to head off DeSantis. So, what do voters think? Do they want Trump or someone not Trump but subscribes to the former president’s policies? Could the battle for the White House harm GOP prospects and help Biden secure a second term?

Across numerous social media groups, I’m in, I’ve noticed a recent trend. Some say that wokeness is made up or contrived by conservatives. Is that true? There’s plenty of evidence to suggest they are not correct. Today, I dive into what the new meaning of woke is, provide concrete examples of it, and call on all common sense Americans to push back.

If you talk to ten people, you’re likely to get ten different answers about what conservatism is and is not. Still, conservatives often say they want to preserve America. Liberals often define it in stark contrast, claiming conservatives seek to keep America trapped in the dark ages. The reality is that conservatism isn’t complex, but modern political thought and changing attitudes in the country have presented it as such. At its core, conservatism seeks to advance hope, opportunity, and happiness. I’ve talked more in detail about these principles here. At its most basic understanding, conservatism stands on the solid rock…
