Who am I? Since the beginning of time, that question has been simple. I’m a husband or wife, son or daughter, a brother or sister. Perhaps one was a person of faith. Today, we are more divided than ever over this central question. Sixty years ago, sexual revolution ushered in a whirlwind of cultural shifts that altered society and led to the rise of identity politics and the embrace of politics over family. People are seeking counseling due to mental health struggles at massive rates, and even more are worshipping at the altar of government to find their identity.

It’s no secret that there are very few conservatives in Hollywood. Don’t tell that to comedian Rob Schneider. Over the last several months, the former Saturday Night Live contributor has been on a tear on Twitter. He’s given his thoughts on topics ranging from the transgender issue involving women and sports to various Constitutional rights.

Find out what the popular comedian candidly in an age of rage as he takes a stand for America over his career.

Where are our courageous heroes, right now, when America may need them the most? More than ever, politics has devolved into an all-out non-combatant war. Biden and the Democratic Party have successfully employed a deep-seated psychology that brands every Republican as MAGA and turned it into a negative stereotype. Its principle design is to stop the conservative movement dead in its tracks as a major political philosophy that stands opposed to the Left’s agenda.

So, today, I’m going to explain the psychology and narrative the Left has created. In doing so, I’m challenging conservatives to ask if they have the courage to be the heroes America needs right now.

Through tax policies, both Democrats and Republicans have abused their taxing powers for political ambition. In today’s article, I’ll expose how both parties manipulate voters through tax policies and how new taxes that went into effect over the last year could be catastrophic for businesses and families struggling under the weight of record-high inflation, possible job losses, and a likely recession.

Still, the bigger question is, should the government have this much control over the economy?

The word “lobbyist” has become synonymous with some of the worst words in the political vocabulary. Yet, is the caricature of lobbyists running from lawmakers to lawmakers and bribing them for special favors accurate or fair? Today, I want to share with you a different perspective on lobbying, what most lobbyists really do, and how they benefit lawmakers — and as an extension — you, the voter.

Is America in danger of losing its heritage and identity as the Left sets radical dumpster fires one after another? The culture is changing, and no one is better at politically moving America than the Left while they trap people in a state of dependency and erode the American dream of hope, opportunity, and happiness.

If America’s political culture continues to decay, traditional issues of tax cuts, fewer regulations, or smaller government won’t matter. There may not be a country to conserve.

Over the last six years, America has faced intense political divisions. The rhetoric hasn’t helped though it might be good for at least one political party. Last week, the country witnessed what many said was an embarrassment after 20 conservatives united against Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) for Speaker of the House.

Today, I’m asking, was what happened last week by design? Did the Founding Fathers intend to use factions to control and limit a majority or the government as a whole?

Over the last 225 years, the promise of America was rooted in the principle of opportunity, which transformed the world. Now, the country is in a unique crisis. Too many former workers are still refusing to leave the comfort of their homes as they sit on the sidelines enjoying government benefits. The result is too many are trapped in government dependency, in despair, and without a way out. That is a prescription for a loss of liberties and freedoms as some in our government embrace equal outcomes and throughout the American principle of equal opportunity – it’s secret name is “equity.”

What is really driving the political opposition to Rep. Kevin McCarthy’s (R-CA) nomination as Speaker of the House? Some say that 20 members of the House don’t have a right to block the majority’s wishes. Is that what Republicans were saying last year when Democrats were in the majority? There is a debate that must be had, and this may be the perfect time to have it. Some principles are just that important. Find out what the real issue is in this moment in American history…

George Santos (R-NY) is the newest member of the liar’s committee. He’s admitted to representing himself falsely to voters. Now, some want legal recourse and to prevent him from taking his congressional seat. Still, the Constitution and law may have something to say about that matter. This isn’t a legal issue. It’s a political one.

Over the last several decades, America has watched as politicians and government officials failed the country. Scandals have grown too numerous to count in recent years. Today’s politics has morphed into a seesaw of which political party can race to the corrupt bottom the fastest and take voters with them through bribes and empty promises. The American Revolution sought to unleash merit, competition, honor, interest, and patriotism. It appears we are headed in the opposite direction. Let’s dive in and consider if the Framers better understood our world better than we understand it ourselves.

These are not ordinary times. America is going through a unique moment in history. Today, conservative thinking is drowned out by a charade of events following one after another. As soon as one thing hits the mainstream, another line of radical ideas follows. The result is a constant state of societal turmoil that quickly shifts political thought farther and farther to the Left at a frantic pace.

In the 1990s, a narrative began to develop as an outflow of messaging from Clinton campaign operatives. Over the last few months, it’s been a refrain I’ve heard all too often on social media. It goes something like this… “What new ideas have conservatives come up with lately? The Republican platform says ‘no’ to everything.”

Is that true? And, are liberal ideas of progress really sustainable?

There are some surprising answers to these two questions…

Can courts cherry-pick what they like in the Constitution or don’t like and thereby change the meaning of plain words? That’s what’s at stake in the latest challenge to the Election Clause heard by the US Supreme Court. Still, one Justice said the legal challenge was “novel,” but is it? Could the Supreme Court again make a decision that makes matters worse?

Partisan ideas about what works and doesn’t work have caused significant damage to America’s economy, society, and trust in both the government and the media. If nothing else, the current inflation crisis demonstrates this point. The fact is, the quality of political ideas is as important as the quality of our political leaders and those who vote for them. Emotion over data rules the day. What is the root of the problem, and is there a solution? If not, could it break up the country once and for all?
