Will This Shot Across The Bow Reverberate Throughout Washington?


It was a bad day if you were Sen. Mitch McConnell and the establishment Republicans in Washington. The voters in Alabama voted overwhelmingly for Judge Roy Moore over Trump-backed Luther Strange. Strange was appointed to fill the vacant United States Senate seat previously held by Jeff Sessions when Sessions was offered the position of United States Attorney General. McConnell and the establishment Republicans poured boatloads of money into Alabama to get Strange back to Washington only to flush it all down the toilet. The conservative voters of Alabama soundly rejected business as usual and took a flyer on Judge Moore to shake things up.


Even worse news, to add insult to injury, earlier in the day Sen. Bob Corker decided he would not seek another term as the junior Senator from Tennessee. Whether he saw the writing on the wall for 2018 and the midterms or whether he just had enough of the job and the headaches, he leaves an opening for a real conservative statesman to fill his seat. The question is will the good people of Tennessee replace him with a conservative or just another RINO, Republican in name only. Early bets say Rep. Marsha Blackburn and Gov. Bill Haslam may put their hats in the ring for the seat. If either of them take Corkers place, then it becomes a wasted opportunity. The time is now for real conservative statesmen to step up in these states and challenge the establishment Republican candidates and it becomes imperative that conservative voters mobilize and get behind them.

Today was clearly a shot across the bow and an opening salvo in a war to push out the establishment Republicans one at a time. As we have seen in 2017, the establishment Republicans have thwarted any real change in Congress. They have failed to repeal and replace Obamacare on numerous occasions and have yet to pass any tax reform bill. The conservatives in Congress are too few and need to be bolstered in numbers come 2018. This is where the rubber meets the road for conservatives. If the silent majority seeks to make some real change in Washington then they need to do so with Congress. Congress wields the power in our republic. The time to really shake things up is now. Today was just one battle in a long and difficult war to take back our republic. If the people of the heartland want today to reverberate throughout Washington for the next year then they ought to strap it on and get into the arena. Without a full-scale assault in the coming months we will find business as usual will remain the mantra in Washington.

The Interesting Quandary For Democrats And Biden

Image
The Democrats have a dilemma. Joe Biden leads the polls for the Democratic Party presidential nomination as he officially announces his candidacy. The barrage of attacks already began even before he officially put his hat in the ring. When you are perceived as the leader the long knives usually come out. The issues revolve around Biden being just a tad too friendly and invasive around women and little girls. Those pictures and video clips have been around for years now but recently a few women have come forward to the press to highlight their own uncomfortable experiences around Joe. But Biden has much deeper problems than being too friendly with his hands and mouth. The deeper problems involve pay-for-play and obstruction of justice. As journalist Peter Schweizer has highlighted in his book, "Secret Empires: How The American Political Class Hides Corruption and Enriches Family and Friends," Joe Biden and his son, Hunter Biden, have some serious questions to answer invol

An Open Letter To President Obama

Image
Dear President Obama, In your commencement address you delivered on Sunday, May 15th, 2016, to the graduating class at Rutgers University, you made a statement that is quite disingenuous. You said, and I quote:  "In fact, by almost every measure, America is better and the world is better than it was 50 years ago or 30 years ago or even eight years ago." Now, I do understand that your worldview and my worldview are vastly different, but let's put that aside for the moment and just examine your statement in a fair and balanced analysis. Just the facts, Mr. President. No spin. I will begin with the Iranian Nuclear Deal that you and your administration negotiated. Just this deal alone has made America and the world much more unsafe and worse off than eight years ago.  By allowing Iran access to billions of dollars and appeasing a nation that has continually called America, "The Great Satan", you have allowed them to funnel that money into continuing their nu

How The Left Uses History To Undermine A Republic

Image
By now, most people have heard the liberals comparing President Trump to Adolf Hitler. One can assume this is due to Trump's immigration reform policies, his stance on Muslims and Muslim refugees, his ongoing conflicts with the mainstream media and print journalism, and his campaign slogan of "Make America Great Again". The more interesting analysis is why they would exactly do this. There are a couple reasons one can conclude for this. One reason would be they are not well-versed in German history and have just a cursory knowledge of NAZI Germany and thus don't honestly know the facts and truth of history. A second reason may be that they do have a full-fledged knowledge of the NAZI's and are just playing fast and loose with the truth and facts in order to paint a false narrative in the minds of Americans. With the dumbing down of America over the last several years through our failing education system, it is quite plausible that just incurring this image of H
