After a week of listening to the talking heads and politicians bloviating on more gun laws, gun buyback programs, red-flag laws, and further curtailing the Second Amendment it has become crystal clear that we have the same conversations everytime there is a mass-shooting in our republic. We never truly have serious conversations about guns and gun violence. This latest massacre is all about politics and using President Trump, the NRA, and "white supremacists" as the boogeymen by Democrats to gain votes and power in the 2020 elections. You can't blame them for trying to deflect from the real conversation they don't wish to have. That real conversation should be about the moral decay in our republic and how moral relativism has led us to this point. How Democrats and the left have played a key role in aiding and abetting this moral decay over the last fifty years. When you continue to push God further and further away through a virulent and consistent messaging and

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

As a student of history and politics my opinion has always been that America has freedom and liberty in the DNA of the people. Compared to a country like Germany, for example, where the people have been more accustomed to kings and strong government control, America has had a rich tradition of rugged individualism and independence. My thought has been one where the idea of socialism ever becoming vogue in our republic was largely laughable. But what if that basic assumption is wrong? What if that particular gene in the blood of Americans has been gradually removed over the last one hundred years, generation after generation? What if the progressive crowd has been largely successful in reshaping and indoctrinating Americans to be more open and receptive to the socialist ideology? What if the American people have been steadily weaned off of critical thought and common sense? What if ignorance and apathy are so pervasive in our republic that people just don't know or don'

There was a time not too long ago when the Democratic Party was more subtle in their wording. You had to read between the lines a bit more to understand their code words. Words and phrases like "for the people", "a working wage", and "a fair shake for all" were more nuanced ways to ultimately candy coat their socialist ideas and platform. But that was before Donald Trump came along. Hard to say what is more frightening and disconcerting. The fact that Democrats like Hillary Clinton lied for so many years when they said they wanted abortion to be safe, legal, and rare or that they feel so free and open now they don't have to lie anymore. What is not up for argument is that over the last several days and weeks that veil is now completely gone. The Democrats have been tripping over each other to show the American people just how much they have become the Party of Karl Marx. From Elizabeth Warren wanting to create a wealth tax on Americans with more t
