To Prescribe a Death: Killing a President
We live in turbulent times, very dangerous times. We live in a time where treason, excess, incompetence, and corruption are everywhere. The exposure of a political party’s treason and malfeasance has diminished their power, and they are fighting back with every known trick in their kit, including disinformation and a corrupt media, in an attempt to regain public support and undermine the credibility of their opponents.
The Political Class Has Perfected Managed Helplessness

Defund the Left. Take All Their Money.
“Money is the Mother’s milk of politics”. And, it’s much more than that. It is both feeds politics and is the product of politics. So, you need money to get power in politics and you will get a lot of money out of politics.

A Team Worthy of 1776
As I noted earlier, the 5 richest men in America signed the Declaration of Independence in 1776. They actually had fortunes and sacred honor to pledge. The signing was August 2, 1776, when 50 of the 56 delegates to the Continental Congress put their John Hancocks on the declaration—including John Hancock.
The sixth richest man was an otherwise engaged General George Washington.

Payback is Coming Is it Revenge or A Just Application of the Law? by George Mcclellan
Recall just a few short years ago, when Lt. Gen. Flynn suddenly found himself embroiled in a costly legal battle with Obama’s FBI and DOJ after Trump became President No. 45?

After yet another asinine policy failed in San Francisco,^ Portland and Seattle want to implement it in their cities to hasten their collapses: A vacancy fee to punish commercial property owners for empty storefronts downtown, as well as fining residential landlords.
Is Diversity Our Strength, or Our Weakness?
I have never believed the leftist maxim that insists diversity is “our strength.” Instead, I see it as divisive, with our nation being split into cultural, ethnic, racial, religious, and political tribes who are essentially at war with one another.

When bad actors misuse charitable structures, directors and officers should understand that transparency can lead to scrutiny, accountability, and liability under the law.”
