My long-time readers may remember that last year about this time I gave a “Top 10” list of some of my favorite AVftR posts, and that list was itself a sequel to a similar list from our 5-year anniversary post. One benefit (for me), of course, is that it is fairly easy for me to […]
This is sure to come up in the elections, especially by Hillary and Bernie, so listen up…. I always thought that “trickle down” economics was a snarky reference to some aspect of Reaganomics. Turns out, I was only half right. While prepping this post, I discovered that Ronald Reagan’s disillusioned budget director, David Stockman, later […]
“I believe Ted Cruz is the candidate that’s the answer to my prayers, a candidate whom God will use to restore the soul of America.” — Rep. Steve King (R-IA) For several weeks now, Ted Cruz has been my favorite among the Republican presidential primary candidates. (Although, I really like(d) Bobby Jindal, too, but he […]
“Secularists, for various reasons, have a notoriously low birth rate by comparison to their more religious neighbors. And, according to Darwinistic expectations, strong populations will inevitably multiply, dominating smaller, weaker ones. By failing to produce offspring, Secular society will eventually be judged and found wanting by its own dogmatics.” — Wes Walker, writer With my […]
Republican Primary Debate #4 is done. This time, I watched them (i.e., the “undercard” and the “main event”) when they aired… but, I missed a few minutes here & there. And, since I didn’t feel like watching ALL of it on Youtube, I can’t really give a comprehensive, firsthand review. (Here are a couple decent […]
“I believe that the ideas and principles of results-driven, common-sense conservatism are the keys to a better tomorrow.” — Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) The GOP’s scramble to find a “unifying” figure to nominate for Speaker of the House might be coming to a close, though certainly not everyone is on board. The very smart, influential, […]
“We’re public servants. I have always put this Conference and Country ahead of myself. We need to unite behind one leader and get to work.” — Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) As you all know by now, the House Republican Conference’s plans for last Thursday (10/8) had some last-minute changes. They were supposed to have their […]
This week we have my final post citing from Jay Sekulow’s Undemocratic. Yes, it involves more infuriating behavior from bureaucrats at the U.S. Department of Justice. It will make you cringe, or at least shake your head in amazement. It will probably make you wonder how in the world we (as a nation) allowed this […]
I wasn’t going to post anything on the debate, figuring lil-ol’-me’s comments would get lost in the crowd. But, then I decided, “Why not!” It’ll help me think things through and maybe help someone else, too. I didn’t even watch the debate when it aired, since I was out for the evening and missed the […]
As promised the other week, the following is an excerpt from Jay Sekulow’s wonderful-yet-infuriating book, Undemocratic, explaining the infamous and partisan fraud perpetrated by our own government known as the “Pigford Giveaway”. The audaciousness of some of our “public servants” really is astounding. — “In chapter 3 of this book I outlined how the IRS […]
